Odd that, as knowledgeable as you claim to be, you don't know why. We do good works after salvation because - The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are...

Ah. Catholic. I'm a believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit, Mary. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 1 Cor 3:16 As such - As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His...

So much for trying to get you to think for yourself, but ok. There is one thing only that will send a person to Hell. Not receiving Christ.

These? The ones I referenced saying I don't follow them? :confused:

Let's pretend you've passed away (peacefully) :) and you're standing at the gate of heaven and you're asked why you should be allowed to enter. What's your answer?

Who said the same thing as I did and who am I "exactly" like? Well, Patient Mary, I told you already - I can't answer for what Methodists or Lutherans, etc., believe or preach. I find a church whose statement of faith is scriptural - based on doctrine found in the bible - and go there. I've...

I can't speak for "protestant denominations" because I don't follow one. I don't follow Wesley, Luther, etc., I follow Christ. Ask yourself what will keep you out of hell, eternal separation from God? His Son. God sent His only Son to die for us and I quoted John 3:16 above - ...whosoever...

Except for the saved by faith alone, which is scriptural, where did I say any of the other stuff was biblical? Where are you getting that I said anything about any of this? Works based salvation is not biblical. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is...

Taking all scripture literally is a bit dangerous, since not all scripture is literal. There's the poetic, the allegory, the visionary (e.g., Revelation), parables, all manner of figures of speech. I do agree completely on the self-righteousness; dangerous ground to be on. Nobody knows...

This is what happens when people take verses at face value and out of context.

Like the poster above, I'd like to know your definition of 'fundamentalist'. fyi we aren't under the "law" anymore, and it was given to Israel anyway. That being said - just because we're under grace, does that mean we continue to sin? May it never be! <Romans 6) I'm a born-again Christian...

First, could you tell me what you consider the "2-4 branches" of Christian denominations? Paul tells the church in Galatia (chpt 1:6-8) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another...

Unless you're an OT Jew in Israel it doesn't matter.

I thought the verses he quoted in the first place, the ones I copied, were pretty obvious on the difference between a person who's saved and one who's not.

1 John 3:7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; ^^^ saved 1 John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to...

Given the verses you're quoting it looks like you're trying to say he's claiming to be the one Daniel spoke of. I haven't seen the article you're referring to so am leaving the thread now.

No, but you're talking about him and one who will "stand in the temple showing himself that he is God." That's not the King of the North, either. That's the antichrist. So who, exactly, are you talking about? The one the antichrist will inhabit is.

The body of believers is the church - Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church... The reason our body is called the temple is because believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit - 1 Cor 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have...

To the RCC it sure has, so I like to point out whenever I can that the word catholic (among many other things) doesn't mean what they think it does. Yes, wheat and tares everywhere - not everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian.
