Need any specific Scriptural references to any of my specific statements…? Ask.
Thank you for the offer...I am sufficiently adept at picking through a mans words which display his thoughts and discerning not only the truth therein if there be any...but also...that discernment reveals the heart of the man as well.

May it go well for you friend...my work and time in this conversation is complete.

Thank you for your time.

Redd...:)

Yes!! And Agree.
Discernment is a Valuable Tool…
To as Jesus Said….

John 10:
[37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
[38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Parallel …
Wondering, Questioning IF Christ (the “power of God) is IN a man, observe “his” Works.
A Living man IN Christ and Christ IN the man IS a permanent condition for that living man.

Consideration….
IF a man WAS WITH the Lord God …The Lord God would have Been WITH that man…and “his” Works acceptable…. UNTIL the man rejected Trusting The Lord Gods WAY….
The WITH One with the other Would Cease….(temporarily or permanently).

Thank you.
May God bless you and yours abundantly,

Glory to God,
Taken

You going around in circles, barking out accusations, epitomizes a limb withering in darkness.

Here's a scripture that talks about people like yourself who advocate for false doctrine.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

So I wouldn't expect you OSAS sin friendly workers of iniquity to understand... sin has blinded your understanding



Quotes from OSASer Charles Stanley:

Yep, gnarly Charlie taught one could live in sin and still be saved... he taught doctrines of demons.

When he croaked he went south and not north.

Here's one that is speaking about those who have been born again... and what happens to them if they backslide

The OSAS peoples (and the calvinists) come up with all kinds of hokey pokey to try and get out of this one... cause all they got is hokey pokey clueless-doh.gif

2 Peter 2:20
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

This is why we see this instruction in the Word of the Lord:

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

I feel sorry for those who think theywill stand in front Christ pumping themselves and saying all their great works. Jesus is just going to say depart from me. for I NEVER KNEW YOU.

Obviously being led by the Holy Spirit is lost on you... you fundamentally misunderstand the new birth and think yielding to the leading of the Holy Spirit is somehow trying to earn one's salvation.

Hang on their bud... maybe you'll get it someday

Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Actually no I do not believe this, which is why I reject your works based Gospel.

because anyone who reads what you write would fully understand this is exactly what you think.

I think the leading of the HS is a result of ones salvation. Not trying to keep it.

I have been led for 50 years. I still trust Christ.

when will you repent and trust Christ? And not yourself?

. sin has blinded your understanding

A person who "has sin".. "has their sin".. is not a Christian.

Notice.

"God hath made Jesus.. to BE SIN FOR US">..

"Jesus is the ONE TIME..... ETERNAL Sacrifice... for Sin".

See those 2. ?

Jesus has taken care of SIN..........once and for all, regarding the born again Christian,

That means that those who have sin.... are not a Christian........they are not Born again, as Jesus has not "been made to be sin for them"....Yet.

OK, so since you reject the leading of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ... you are led by demons.
lol.. In other words.
1. You can not prove anything I say is false.
2. You can;t deny what I said concerning you is true (because it is)

so you just come swinging.

I feel sorry for you my friend.
One is either abiding in Christ thru the Holy Ghost being obedient to the Lord, or abiding in the devil thru demons being obedient to satan.

Thanks for your replies... now we know you are clearly a child of the devil being a servant of satan

Your either born of God, or you dead to God.

I was born of God 40 years ago.

ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)…..ONCE!!!

Does the meaning of the word ONCE have some people baffled?

ONCE ~
* on one occasion or for one time only.
* at some time in the past; formerly.

ONCE - any happening, event HAS OCCURRED…it can NOT “UN-occur”!!!!

SAVED ~

Does the understanding of “WHAT” is being “SAVED” baffle some people?

* Saving the mans Natural BODY? No.
* Saving the mans Natural SPIRIT? No
Saving the SOUL that (BELONGS TO God…HAS Gods LIFE IN IT)…”IS” DWELLING “WITHIN” the mans Natural BODY. (That SOUL, called by the NAME of the mans Bodily Identity? ). Yes

* DOES GOD possess the POWER to “SAVE” souls, (IN Mens CORRUPT natural Bodies, Having Corrupted the soul WITHIN their Corrupt Body?…)
SUCH SOUL that “ALREADY” Belongs TO God”…. Yes!!!


TO…deniers…; *** —>
—> ***“IS Gods POWER”….SO “INSUFFICIENT”….
* He “cannot” SAVE a soul?
* He “cannot” KEEP a soul SAVED?

—> ***“IS” Mans POWER”….SO “SUFFICIENT”…
* A man “CAN” supersede “Gods POWER”…?
And “UNDO” Gods WORKS of SALVATION regarding (a SOUL that belongs to God)…IN any mans BODY?

No!!!

Uh Yes??? Uh….
Think AGAIN!!!

ONCE God has SAVED a SOUL within a mans Body…. THAT SOUL IS ALWAYS and FOREVER SAVED…

OSAS ~ TRUE


Not one Word of God, says otherwise.

Glory to God,
Taken
There is never a case when a person is "saved" or "once saved" in the past tense. A person is not saved (past tense) until the final trumpet sound. 1 Corinthians 15. This includes body, soul, and spirit.

The fake OSAS peoples claim if one has but a moment of faith... they are saved and will go to Heaven even if they live a life of sinful behavior. It's what their OSAS hero gnarly Charlie Stanley taught who was considered to be the leading authority of "eternal security" teaching, aka OSAS

Here's some notable quotables from their boy gnarly Charlie:

In his book, Eternal Security, Stanley says "Even if a believer for all practical purposes becomes an unbeliever, his salvation is not in jeopardy” (Chapter 10, p. 93)

“Christ will not deny an unbelieving Christian his or her salvation because to do so would be to deny Himself” (p. 94).

“Believers who lose or abandon their faith will retain their salvation, for God remains faithful” (p. 94)

He actually taught one can be a "gay christian" and still go to Heaven proving he is a false teacher!

Here's a video where you can see video of Charlies saying this (just a few minutes into the video)


In this video, Gnarly Charlie says he's proud of Andy and supports him after heresy charges

I have been led for 50 years. I still trust Christ.

Here is what Christ actually told us about how we should behave (our works/the fruit of our labors):

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven IS perfect.

Matthew 7:16-20
7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into The Fire.
7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom of heaven; ONLY he that DOETH the Will of my Father which is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me in That Day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, YE THAT WORK INEQUITY.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock (the Truth):
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock (the Truth).
7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and THEN he shall reward every man according to his WORKS.

It should be self-evident (obvious) that Christ teaches everyone they should be on their best behavior, i.e. they should be DOING good works (God's Will) instead of doing EVIL works (sinning/working inequity).

The entire "works based Gospel" label is a strawman argument. The idea that sharing with others what Christ ACTUALLY said and teaches, which emphasizes heavily obedience to God and the DOING of His Will throughout the Gospel accounts, is loving, NOT judgmental.

If someone promotes the LIE that we don't need to be doing our utmost to keep God's Law/Commandments, then they are either ignorant of what Christ actually teaches, or they are intentionally being dishonest. So which is it?

ANYONE who isn't striving to keep The Law/Commandments of God on the Last Day, is going to wind up in The Fire, exactly as Christ has repeatedly warned us for thousands of years. Either learn The Way home or face The Fire.

Those of you who claim to be “SAVED” already, are WRONG. You do not mark your own test. Only the Lord marks your test and you will have absolutely NO say in it. You would do well to learn some fresh and real humility and start again, this time DOING what the Lord says and not what you decide yourself. The “Self” has to be “crucified DAILY” until it is DEAD and you want only to serve your Lord and the common good, keeping the COMMANDments; Covenants; His Laws and Ways and NOT your own.

Jesus said the same in John 15
Agreed. And in dozens of other places too. For example (from John 15):

John 15:9-14
15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
15:10 IF ye keep my COMMANDments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love.
15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
15:12 This is my COMMANDment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his "Self" life for his friends.
15:14 Ye are my friends, IF ye DO whatsoever I command you.

How can anyone honestly read the passage above and be duped into believing that we don't need to WORK DILIGENTLY at keeping the COMMANDments? Is it that so many have been infected by their mistaken interpretations of the letters of Paul? Have they forgotten that Paul was a primary school STUDENT and that Christ is THE Teacher (Matt. 23:10)?

Logically, the ONLY Way to understand Paul's letters is to KNOW that they cannot under any circumstances contradict or supersede Christ's Teachings. Anyone who believes differently is deceiving themselves.

Once Saved, Always Saved?
Video that addresses false claims made by Chales Stanley

The point is, Charles is wrong because he believes, as many do, that a person is saved, once he or she makes a single, one-time confession faith. Actually, both sides believe this, which is the basis of the debate between OSAS and NOSAS. Both sides of the argument believe that.

NOSAS also accepts the premise that a person is saved at the moment of confession. But NOSAS argues that once a person is saved, they CAN lose their salvation if they recant or fall away.

In my view, both sides of the debate are wrong because both sides of the debate grant the erroneous premise that once a person makes a single, one-time confession, he or she is saved. This is not true, therefore both sides are in error.

You need to distinguish between conversion and completion.

You can only be converted once, but how complete your conversion is, is another matter.

That Statement Is False.

You preaching that everyone who believes in OSAS learned About eternal Salvation from someone Named Charles Stanley AND adopted his understanding OF OSAS is False.
Your unproved False Accusations ARE Just As Wicked AS Stanley’s False Teachings.
