There is a but.
There are many “buts” in scripture.

[insert irrelevant assumptions and false accusations here]
Is that what you see before replying @Behold ?
I would have bet my life that you'd come back with this OSAS nonsense.
A few words is understood by those who already understand the Big Picture and simply Reveals who is an others Brother IN Christ.What I love about your posts lately is how profoundly insightful they are in just a few words. Bravo! Bravo, dear sister!
So, you must pretend this verse does not directly address the fallacy of your doctrine.

Just as there are many IFS . Problem is people had rather mold a GOD into their own image so as they can continueThere is a but.

JESUS sure did say YE must continue in me to the end .
So did the apostels too .
PREACH IT BROTHER!!!
Legalism, self effort, and not for the Cross and the Grace of God
IF we hold our confidence , IN HIM , firm to the END .
Is it “legalism” and “self effort” to keep Christ’s commandments?
Let me show you a good Translation of that verse..
It seems that you have such a tattoo. Guess what? Not calling OSAS by name does not make what you are advancing something else.Do you have a Tattoo inside your skull that reads.
OSAS
There is your OSAS.So, if you are born again, that settles.your eternal membership in Heaven.
Not in those words but in other words he did. Not all who call him Lord, Lord will be saved. This contradicts your OSAS.Jesus never said..>"you must hold unto your faith till death, to go to heaven"., and He should know as "Jesus is the author and finisher of your FAITH".
See that?
Paul? It most certainly IS what Jesus said you'd lose. See above. Also reference to vines not producing fruit being burned. Also reference salt being thrown away if it loses it's flavor.Paul said there is something you lose by being a backslider , but its not your salvation.
Knowing the truth = born again?The passage specifically talks about those who KNOW the truth, which means were born again.
I brough up this verse because it came up in another thread and I didn't want to hijack that thread.And I do believe @marks brought up this very verse to address this very denial of your doctrine.
Aren't you assuming that Ananias was one of those who heard from the Lord Himself, and discounting Paul's statement that this in fact describes himself?Ananias found Saul at Judas' house, praying for help. Ananias laid his hands on Saul, telling him Jesus had sent him to restore his sight and that Saul might be filled with the Holy Spirit.
