No need to HOPE for what IS...

Heb 10:
[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for everthem that are sanctified.

THEM that are sanctified...ARE set apart.
Body given unto death, crucified with Christ.
Soul restored / saved, by accepting His Offering.
Spirit quickened / born again of Gods Seed, by accepting His Gift.

1 John 3:
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

By the Power of God, NEVER AGAIN can a man (born of God) SIN (disbelieve) Against the Lord God Almighty.

Men Tresspass Against men? Absolutely.
Men forgiven men of Trespasses? Yes.

Men forgiven men of SIN? No.
Sin is Against God, (for disbelief), and ONLY God can forgive SIN.

(Unless you are of a Tribe of Israel, and remain Under the Law...SINS are determined according to the LAW)

IF you are UNDER GRACE, SIN is Disbelief in the Lord God Almighty.
Why do you preach OSAS and preach to Christians if OSAS is true? Are OSASers trying to convince themselves it's true because they actually doubt OSAS?

if you only were forgiven original
Sin your still
Dead in your sins. And the HS will not raise you to life. You can be made alive in sin
I LOVE it when ignorant people like YOU try to pass jugement on my soul.
I say what Paul said to the Corinthians:

1 Cor. 4:3-4

I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.
My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the LORD who judges me.

Quote my "accusation".


If someone "enters the Christian Faith" he is a Christian. You're getting ridiculous.

SPECIFICS...
Do you know how many people sit in Christian Churches, call themselves Christians, other people call all people sitting in a Christian Church a Christian....
And MANY of them DO NOT BELIEVE?
And MANY of them ARE NOT CONVERTED?

And yes, ANY such person sitting in a Christian Church....LISTENING to the Word of God ARE being enlightened....and ARE receiving "measures" of a GIFT of FAITH...from God.

And yes, ANY such person, CAN FALL from Faith.

Salvation and Quickening <---> Conversion,
IS NEVER GIVEN, and then Taken or Given AWAY.

Can't you quote John 6?
I prety much told you what it said 4 times now, you don’t believe I said it right?

john 6: 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”
35:
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will,but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

I can go in if you want, how is this? Did Jesus lie?

if you want to be righteous by your obedience the requirement is perfection. Moses told you this and Paul reiterated it
you can’t be obedient to earn salvation that’s why grace is required

you have no Understanding of grace
Apparently, it's YOU who doesn't understand grace.

Grace is a gift - and a gift CAN be refused.
YOU see grace as a sentence - something that yo're stuck with whether you want it or not.

That's a perverted view of God's grace . . .

What a bizarre thing to declare you love.
Why?
I ALWAYS love when people expose their ignorance in a debate.

That's why conversations with YOU bring me such joy . . .

Your right a gift can be refused

he who believes is condemned already because they have not believed

for by grace we have been saved through faith

he who believes is not condemned

you see grace as something that must be earned.

we earn through works,

I did not judge anything

I believe this is why I stopped responding to you in the past, your arrogant like most Catholics,are

If not, I have never met or sin God, because I have failed to repent and God has not made me a new creature
Did you ever read this?
Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV)
1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
this is descriptive, not prescriptive

Yet you have judged my faith falsly since we first started talking, I guess that’s ok smh
Quote where I judged your faith.
Did Paul stutter?
I was pointing out your false accusation. OSASers love playing the victim while judging others!

Why do you preach OSAS and preach to Christians if OSAS is true? Are OSASers trying to convince themselves it's true because they actually doubt OSAS?

I STAND UP for the Scriptural Truth.
Standing and Speaking, is not trying to convince myself, it is Revealing WHAT and WHY I believe what I do.

Nothing you have presented Scripturally reveals ...
* Men must repeatedly receive Salvation.
* Men who have received Salvation are in Danger of Losing their Salvation.
* Men can receive Salvation and then Reject their Salvation.

Nor have you revealed, You received Salvation, BUT, the Lords Power Failed you, and you ASKED the Lord Again for His Gift of Salvation.

That doesn't answer why you preach OSAS to Christians!

I hope you're right. I can't lose! But honestly, I think OSASers will have lots of blood on their hands on Judgment Day.

Whatever dude. You can’t show me the word baptism because it is not there
water in that passage is physical birth
Jesus told him how to be born again. For god so loved the world he gave his only son that whoever believes shall not perish but have life eternal
there is how you are born again
your attribute the work of God in baptism to your priest. That’s blasphemy of the spirit
Soooo, you're a Biblical Literalist who NEEDS to see the wording of everything explicity laid out?
Then why don't YOU show me WHERE the actual words are in the Bible that say:

- "Sola Scripture" or "Scripture ALONE" is our "Sole Authority"
- We are saved by "Faith Alone" or "Sola Fide"
- "Once Saves ALWAYS Saved"

Can't
find those verses??
Then WHY do you believe in them??

Oxymoron...not Scriptural.

Salvation and Quickening is A GIFT to Those who Confess HEARTFUL Belief.

THE PROCESS...
For a Beginner...is HEARING, receiving Enlightenment...(believing, wondering, doubting, denying, wavering).
He who continues HEARING, continues receiving measures of FAITH, ( A gift from God...FOR HEARING ).

A man who REJECTS and STOPS HEARING has fallen from faith.

He who continues HEARING, is being prepared to CONFESS heartful belief...
And he who DOES Confess heartful belief, BECOMES FORGIVEN,
BECOMES soul SAVED,
BECOMES spirit QUICKENED.
Converted...
PERIOD....DONE DEAL...once and forever.

THE NEXT PROCESS for such a Converted man....WHICH IS LIFE LONG...
IS that MAN....HIS JOB....
IS TO MAKE HIS "carnal minds thoughts"...
SUBSERVANT TO "his NEW spirits thoughts".

A man "KEEPING" his Salvation the Lord has Gifted him...
AND
A man "KEEPING" his Born Again spirit the Lord has Gifted him...

IS KEPT BY THE INDWELLING POWER / SPIRIT OF GOD, in that converted man.

Doing Works to KEEP your salvation, Trying really hard, continuing to sin, repeatedly asking for Forgiveness for sins one claims to Commit... IS ALL hogwash, FOR A Converted man.
And that last part is where yo ALWAYS fall off the tracks . . .

It's not about "trying really hard" or doing works to "keep" your salvation.
If you surrender to Christ, ther you STRIVE to not sin, although you will stumble sometimes because of your fallen nature.
When you DO stumble - you pray for forgiveness - you don't simply assume you're "okay" and forget about it (James 5:16).

And the "Works" we do as Christians were prepared FOR us in advance (Eph. 2:10), so we can't take credit for those.
However, they ARE an essential element of our faith because they exemplify our obedience and cooperation with God.

anything less is NOT true faith.

LOL...not surprised you love it when you think you are right, you call others ignorant and wrong....but the fact is you do not provide Scripture to support what you claim.

Baptizing babies with Water....no scripture.

Receiving the Lords gift of Salvation without confessing Belief in the Lord and the one who sent Him....no scripture.

Receiving the Lords gift of a born again spirit without Belief....no scripture.

Your joy is equal with the devil's delight, in your carnal thinking that you have cleverly gained an upper hand.

You don't get it.
Calling everyone ignorant and wrong...does not make your right ... it simply draws attention to your wayward teaching and bully tactics.
