I rest in the Lord, I worry not....he is the one who leads and guides me...A converted beleiver DOES work by the POWER of the SPIRIT .
Which do include warning and reminding just like paul and others did . EVERY WORD worketh GOOD to our soul .
JESUS KNOWS HOW To keep the lambs safe . I suggest we heed ALL HIS reminders as well as the SPIRIT filled reminders
of the apostels . As well as all those warnings and reminders FROM JESUS in heaven to the seven churches .
LAMBS NEED THE SPIRIT , we need the reminders , we need the exhortations of the SPIRIT of the words of GOD.
Well aware of speaking in the First Person.We means WE my friend . IF paul said WE , OOPSY that included himself .
OSAS tries to tell ya it means uncoverted beleivers , BUT PAUL said WE pardner .
Just like a universalists sees scrips differently , so too does an osas one . IF we are seeing scrips
through the lens of mens doctrines , WE WONT be FULLY SEEING THEM the way we SHOULD BE .
A unversalists can do exactly what you do , IMPLY it means something it dont . WE MEANETH WE my friend .
WE MEANETH WE . IF i came and preached WE NEED TO OBEY THE SPRIIT , that WE includes me .
WE included paul pardner . Let us simply learn the scrips for ourselves .
I do not need to be reminded of Gods MAKING me Converted.Rather ODD paul sure seemed to write the CHURCH saying this and including WE in it .
YOU say what you say through the lens of OSAS . THEM WARNINGS and REMINDERS APPLIED TO ALL IN THE CHURCH .
The sooner you learn that , the better off you will indeed be .
I know how you all were taught , they tried to program me too when i first went to a certain church .
I didnt fall for it then and by grace i wont now . YOU NEED TO JUST be exhorted by what is written
NOT try and twist it to fit an acryomn . LIke i said in my other post
Universalists can do the same thing . THEY TOO try and see UNIVERSALISM in THE SCRIPTURE , and they see it wrongly .
WELL you keep trying to SEE OSAS in everything . IN other words you allowed MEN to TWIST TRUTH to CHANGE TRUTH
TO fit an acroynm . RATHER THAN reading it for you and letting the words of TRUTH form in you , you did and do as many do
TWIST the word to fit AN IDEAL of men .
Correct.I rest in the Lord, I worry not....he is the one who leads and guides me...
You really are missing the point of God Keeping. God will not keep you against your will. God loves you more than you can love anyone but he wants the same of you. If you fall back in love with the wordily things and choose to cling to them and not love God enough to let them go and follow Gods teaching then God sadly lets you go to what you love. He will not make you love him and walk with him he calls you but he wants you to respond yes he can make you but that is not what he is seeking.Well aware of speaking in the First Person.
Paul was ALREADY SAVED when He Preached….
TO: “his WE brothers” (Gentiles)
TO; “his WE brethren” (Jews)
Paul was included IN brotherhood to the RACES of Jews and Gentiles, YET separated from them by, through, of the Holy Spirit.
I do not need to be reminded of Gods MAKING me Converted.
Nor do I need to be reminded No man can Remove me From His Hand.
It affects me not one iota IF others think God Too Weak to KEEP a Converted man WITH Him forever.
Glory to God,
Taken
Never said or implied such a thing.You really are missing the point of God Keeping. God will not keep you against your will.
God loves you more than you can love anyone but he wants the same of you.

Look at Adam God made Adam He loved Adam and wanted Adam to love him enough to keep his word. He knew Adam would not but he still gave Adam the choice. He only gave Adam one command to not eat of the one tree. He knew Adam would fall but he did not want to force Adam to be obedient he wanted that from Adams own desire to love him enough to keep his word.
He knew Adam would fall from the grace he gave Adam so he had already made a plan to redeem Adam if Adam chose to restore his standing with God.
The same plays true with us we have sinned and fell short and God offers us redemption.
Said nor implied any such thing.He is not going to force us to take it
SHALL be saved, is Conditional to A BeLIEVER, that IF he continues to the end.but the call is there for us tom respond to.If we love him as he loved us and respond to his call we will be saved but if we falter and not keep his word and fall back in love with the world he will let us to our wishes and not force us to love him even though that is his desire that we love him as he loved us.
That's a good one for this topic. Thanks.Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Perhaps you could QUOTE Scripture of God Fulfilling Promises and then Undoing His fulfilled Promises.
I do not need to be reminded of Gods MAKING me Converted.

A CONVERTED man, CAN NOT FALL AWAY
Never saw a single post of you quoting Scripture of God failing to keep the Converted … Converted.Already have posted tons of verses... maybe you missed them.
LOL… a person exercising their freewill to become made converted is not magic.You did not cooperate with the Lord at all???.... It just magically happened?
God's Word clearly teaches that we are to choose to submit to Him using the free will
This is a major point the OSAS peoples fail to acknowledge that keeps them from seeing and understanding the full truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I made no such claim.So your claim is at some point God removes one's free will??
No that is NOT my claim, IF it were it would be posted under my name, not yours.So your claim is at some point God removes one's free will??
It's not God that fails to keep the converted. It is the converted who choose to turn away.Never saw a single post of you quoting Scripture of God failing to keep the Converted
LOL… a person exercising their freewill to become made converted is not magic.
…and you are the only one who is wondering if Gods response to a person s election of God
FALSE…God provided an OFFERING, I accepted ACCORDING TO HIS WAY, as I have explicitly said on this forum on more than one occasion!You're the one claiming God did it all and you did nothing...
Gods ONCE and FOREVER Salvation comes FROM God…not men…by whatever “TAG” they claim to be associated with.I thought you might be following that jesus that does the magic tricks or something... that would be the fake jesuis of calvinism of course which is where OSAS came from.
Men who DESIRE God, Believe and Confess their Belief, ARE men WHO ELECT God…God "elected" everyone... but sadly, few answer his call.
I've already posted numerous verses proving limited atonement
is a doctrine of demons as it is in direct opposition to what God says in His Word... but I understand, calvinists get their doctrine from an UN-repentant murderer so nobody ever got good doctrine from a murderer.
But, I understand... calvinists make up their own "truth" as they go along
You are right if we sow corruption, then we reap corruption, but who is the one who continually reaps corruption? The Devil! Therefore the Devil can take our Salvation away, but not if we don't want him to (which is why in principle, our faith remains our faith). That is not to say we can't be redeemed from the Devil's work, but our flesh may not survive even though our spirit does.Unless one is a baby Christian and is just now learning God's Word... anybody that's has been walking with the Lord for a while knows scripture does not teach "once saved always saved", aka eternal security.
Here's one that most definitely DOES Speak Against the Eternal Security of the believer
Galatians 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
God gave man free will... if man chooses to turn and walk away from the Lord, God will let them do so.

I accepted
Gods ONCE and FOREVER Salvation comes FROM God…not men…
Men who DESIRE God, Believe and Confess their Belief, ARE men WHO ELECT God…
You posted numerous verses applying to Believers YET…UN-CONVERTED men…
By your fruits, I wholly doubt you understand anything Spiritual.
our flesh may not survive even though our spirit does.
Admitting nothing new…OK, so now you are admitting that God does not literally do everything!
Couldn’t tell you what a Calvinist believes, claims, or much care.By saying you accepted what the Lord did, the calvinists will claim you are earnings your salvation
Name “TAGS” of this and that religious sect seem to be highly prized by some…and a point of discontent for others…So if you keep saying that, the calvinists will give you the left foot of fellowship and you'll no longer be in fellowship with all the calvinist brethren which would actually be a good thing!
You Still don’t get it….That's true and if a man does not receive it and turn from their sins to abide in Christ... then what the Lord did is not applicable to that man
Not possible for a converted man….Less you believe the Devil’s Power is greater than Gods ??And if that man receives what the Lord did, turning from their sins to abide in Christ... and then later allows the devil to con him in to turning away from the Lord and goes back to living in sin, then then what the Lord did is no longer applicable to that man.
If you keep talking like that then you won't be OSAS and the calvinist brethren will giveth you the left foot of fellowship!
Wrong. you think the ALL-Knowing God….does not know EVERY THOUGHT a man has had or will have? And oops he converts a man who will later Stand against Him? Nope!Yes and when one turns away from the Lord... they become UN-CONVERTED men… having put off the new man and put the old man back on to walk after the pleasures of the flesh.
Boring me with your Calvinist obsession.What happened to tha judge not lest you be judged thing you calvinists always throw at people when they don't agree with fake calvinist teachings???
Oh, I forgot... it allies to me but not for thee...
Admitting nothing new…
Man freely makes his choice.
God MAKES all the changes IN a man WHO chooses the Lord God AND heartfully confesses his choice.
the Lord Gods POWER in that Converted man IS THE POWER THAT KEEPS THAT MAN “IN FAITH” “IN BELIEF” “IN the Lord God Almighty”…FOREVER.
I do not EQUATE, SIN against God the same as Trespasses of men against men.
Boring me with your Calvinist obsession.
Elementary, Secular and Irrelevant.OK, so the Association of Calvinsts are going to be upset with you 'bout that!
This isn't a very OSAS thing to say ya know.
Opps! You just backslid back in to calvinism!
the Association of Calvinsts will be pleased
This means God must remove the saved man's free will and make him in to a mindless robot to he never turns away from the Lord again... this is lock step with the false teachings of calvinism but they say even if a man lives in sin he will still be saved.
Your claim is God removes the Christians free will and after that that they are literally perfect exactly like Jesus which is funny cause none of your calvinists walk on water and do the miracles Jesus was doing... so this un-biblical view is screwy in St Louie to quote the famous Hanna Barbara philosopher... Bugs Bunny.
Oh so this is quite the calvinist viewpoint.... your idea of a "christian" can do others dirty... and God does not see that as a sin. Your calvinist brethren file this under the heading of being elect where they can do all the sin they want and still go to Heaven.
This is quite the hilarious point of view. Now we know that associating with you personally will get one thrown under the bus, ripped off, and done dirty because... you think treating people dirty is not a sin and the Lord is quite pleased with this sort of behavior.
You embrace the false tenants of calvinisn... you keep this up and the Association of Calvinsts will invite you to be the keynotes speaker at their next convention in sin city (Las Vegas)![]()
Just saying rock on from a weaker spirit. You are doing as Jesus wanted, raging against the hypocrites.OK, so the Association of Calvinsts are going to be upset with you 'bout that!
