    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    North ... like Harvard, Yale and Princeton ... the Temples of Secular Humanism. South ... like the Bible Belt ... with a church on every corner. ;) In SCRIPTURE, Heaven is generally described as UP and Hell is generally described as DOWN ... just sayin'. :cool:

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    You have misinterpreted my motives. I am a Particular Baptist. As a 5-pointer in the Doctrines of Grace, I am not responsible for changing ANYBODY's heart (God does that and requires no help from me). As scripture says, "who am I to judge the servant of another?" I am nobody of...

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    I applaud your clever rhetoric, but clever rhetoric is not a valid support for eisegesis. You still changed action by God upon people in a certain state of being, into an action by fallen men to control God's actions (as a prerequisite). ... And you managed that clever magic trick with "no...

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    In those Scripture verses, "humble" is a noun ("the humble" - object in the sentence). In your boasting about what you have done to gain God's favor, you are using "humble" as a verb ("have to humble" - verb in your sentence). In scripture, God freely chooses to show mercy on those in a lowly...

    So we DO have your answer! Question: Do you claim that only those that live lives of SINLESS PERFECTION are saved? Answer: YES. Question: Does just one sin disqualify you from heaven? Answer: YES. "once one decides" ... we are just one THOUGHT away from being ejected by Christ! Thank you...

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    Since NOBODY is claiming that the TARES (unsaved living lives of reprobation) are saved, you arguments about whenever ”Eternal Security“ for the saved means that the TARES will go to heaven is a non sequitur. The question from someone like me that believes God does promise Eternal Security for...

    You people REALLY need to look up the Greek word being translated and stop posting nonsense. Here is the word appearing JUST in the book of Ephesians: [Eph 1:2, 6-7 NASB20] 2 Grace[G5485] to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ... 6 to the praise of the glory of His...

    Why not just answer the simple questions: Do you claim that only those that live lives of SINLESS PERFECTION are saved? Does just one sin disqualify you from heaven?

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    What does Paul say about rewards? 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 [NASB20] 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each person must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other...

    Not a bad hypothesis, but do you have any Scriptural support beyond Hosea 7?

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Respectfully, you think too highly of yourself. Romans 9:15-16 [NASB] For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOMEVER I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL SHOW COMPASSION TO WHOMEVER I SHOW COMPASSION." So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has...

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    You never addressed my questions to you: Do you claim that only those that live lives of SINLESS PERFECTION are saved? How can you justify your answer given how you reject Eternal Security? Why does just one sin not disqualify you from heaven?

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    Here, read it again: [1 Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV] 1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry...

    To be fair ... our church buildings are FULL of TARES complacent in their sin and deluded in the belief that LOVE is God's ONLY ATTRIBUTE. [So God must Love the man cheating on his wife and the two women married to each other and the drunk that terrorizes his children at night ... the gay...

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    NOTHING in Romans 1:18-32 suggests “Children of God” are being discussed. The passage is 100% directed at those under WRATH for rejecting God. That is the definition of the REPROBATE. You are arguing that the REPROBATE do not have Eternal Security … no duh!

    Losing Your Salvation - Bible Verses

    Apparently you didn't bother to read my post ... I SAID that "continue in sin" AND "be in right standing" was a self-contradictory physical impossibility. How then can I be advocating something that I claim is impossible to exist. "continue in sin" = NOT SAVED. Not Saved = Not Saved, so there...
