Now that's not something OSAS adherent would say!

They typically claim that even if one of the "elect" were to living in sin, they would be saved anyway.

The OSAS Association is gonna want to have a word with you about not representing them correctly. :ROFL:





Which one what?

Well somebody listen a list of greasy grace teachers and said since they cannot find a good church in their area, they listen to all these grace changers.

Distracting from the thread topic is not good for the thread. People genuinely interested in the thread leave when this happens.

It is my opinion that separated christians cannot be in the will of God because they can't minister to others, neither can they be ministered to.
We can't be a part of the body while in separate pieces.

1Cor 12:18But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20But now there are many parts, but one body. 21And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22On the contrary, [p]it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23and those parts of the body which we [q]consider less honorable, [r]on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable, 24whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked, 25so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another. 26And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is [t]honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

That passage is talking about the body of Christ, not a local church. A person who is separate from the body of Christ is someone who has never been saved. I don't think a local assembly is ever referred to as a "body" in Scripture.
