No, they would die trying. That's the point. Anyone under the law who tries to approach God in that way will die and not succeed. The way to God is closed off in that covenant. Only in the New Covenant can you touch the Mountain of God and go behind the curtain and have access to the mercy seat.

no, that’s not the point. Once again, the law is not part of what I want you to see..anyway, Never mind, I see why you seem to think you can lose salvation now. You do Not understand what a person actually has to become to come to faith, so it would easily see why you think they could lose faith

Here is a quick reminder . Since many today use the word love . Let us examine to see
if the love we think is love is compatible to the TRUTH of GOD and HIS LOVE .
For the love of GOD does not transgress , does not call what GOD calls EVIL as good nor What HE considers good , evil .
Love does not rejoice in inquity . It corrects any in error . As paul once said , though the more i LOVE the less i be loved .
For love covers a multitude of sins . AND james even uses that description when speaking of converting one who errs back .
Love does not behave itself UNSEEMINGLY .
Now for the PC love , for it says man with man is love , woman with woman is love , ONLY lets read romans one .
And likewise did the men leave the natural use of the woman and burned in their lust one towards another working that which is UNSEEMINLY .
SO if we support sin and call it loving or love , WE DO Not Charity . AND IF we have no charity , NUTTING ELSE MATTERS .
You see we have a sensual version of love being massively produced these days .
A love so wicked , it even omits the one true gospel and says GOD is love and that even muslims and any religion knows GOD .
What a false love that one is . Thus let us learn the true biblical JESUS , let us learn HOW HE LOVED .
FOR HE said AS I HAVE LOVED YOU , YOU must love one another . DID JESUS CORRECT . DID HE REBUKE , YES .
HE also laid down his life for us . LEt us learn the true biblical version of charity . and learn it well .

do you think that which has been cut off can be grafted back in? Do you think that which has been cut off from the body can be joined back to the body?
The jews were cut out due to unbelief . The good news is if any remains not in unbelief they are grafted into the tree .
BUT WOE , let us not be highminded . FOR if we continue not in The GOODNESS of GOD
we too can be cast out . AND since we both know that no one wants to be cast out of THAT TREE . YEAH let us continue in CHRIST
in the GOODNESS of GOD . HOLD FIRM to the faith . HEED the SPIRIT and by it , crucify the deeds of the wicked flesh .
If any does err , correct them fast . Let us hold to the original pattern JESUS taught and later the apostels taught .

You keep talking about works, I'm not talking about works. I'm talking about responsibility.

In your view, it's on you to keep yourself saved. IF you succeed, then you will remain saved. IF you fail, you don't remain saved.

In my view, it's up to God to keep me saved, as He's promised to do that, and I take Him at His Word. And He will not fail.

Much love!

There is this...
Greater is He that IS IN you than he that is in the world.

A major purpose for His Spirit to be IN a Saved man IS TO KEEP the man Saved.

How anyone can believe they HAVE Gods Spirit IN THEM, and it is insufficient to KEEP them Saved is beyond me.

Those who are LED of the SPIRIT are the sons and daughters of GOD .
LED .
Examine the beauty of that word . I am not the SPIRIT of course . BUT if i am leading a HORSE to water
through a desert and that horse continues to follow my lead , well its gonna be one happy horse at the end of that journey .
But if it heeds the voice of a stranger , and ceases to follow my lead , OL pony gonna end up somewhere else my friend .
We must follow the SPIRIT . And believe me the SPIRIT dont lead us into sin , BUT THE Flesh surely will .
WE must follow the Spirit , WE have all we need in CHRIST , only let us not take off from HEEDING HE who speaks from heaven .

Bingo that is the true osas
yes it used to be . But look at what has become of many today . Now i hear things , well you go read what one told me .
Not looking good my friend . And if we have the SPIRIT and are truly HIS
would we not warn and remind JUST LIKE HE DID and JUST like the apostels did .
SO let us endure faithful unto the end . Hey they said it , we say it .......RIGHT .

I'm a Bible believing Christian. How about you? I haven't seen even one OSASer here profess to be Christian, even though their profiles say "Christian".

No. It’s a diversion to the passage I quoted.

For obvious reasons, you want to change the subject - to the importance of being saved. No one is disputing this. This thread is about OSAS and Matthew 7:21 ties work as responsibility to calling Jesus your Lord. Period.

Quoting other verses are an irrelevant distraction.
Whatever my friend

yes it about osas

the passage you gave states those born of god do his will. It does not support NOSAS

I'm judgmental because OSASers won't confess to be Christians? If OSASers are not Christians then they lied on their profiles and are violating Forum rule, "Christians only".

You are referring to this scripture:

1 Peter 1:5
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation

But later in the same letter this is written:

1 Peter 4:1-2
[1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

For:

Romans 8:13
...if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Have you mortified the deeds of the body in order to be among those who are kept by the power of God?

Because:

1 Peter 4:18
...if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Do you take him at ALL his word?

Or just the words that make you feel good?

Which OSASers won't confess to be Christians and have made it clear to you they are not a Christian and have deliberately lied on their profile? o_O

How does Jesus "keep you saved"?
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely c those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:23-25
He keeps me saved by always interceding for me.
