Phil that was an ignorant comment you made for my post. Your post didn't make any sense, since someone that knows Christ would not do such things.
John 5:24
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Bring the post to my attention. I strive to be clear in saying what I mean, and if I failed the only way to improve is to know where I went wrong. If I misunderstood what you said, please tell me.Phil that was an ignorant comment you made for my post. Your post didn't make any sense, since someone that knows Christ would not do such things.
Well, I don't know how many Prots acknowledge the non-Biblical word "sacrament" as valid. Boy, there are all kinds of Prots. Methinks most of them are dead church players today
Going to any Church, sitting in any pew, does not make one a believer anymore than religiously going to a hen house make one a hen. Yet, thankfully Christ is preached, and Father does the drawing according to one's motive to know Father, Father reveals or holds back truth
Ask most protestants, they will tell you baptism is a sacrament. (look at all of them in here saying baptism is a requirement for salvation)
by the way, before I get slammed by some who do not believe this. I am not saying ALL protestants..
Well, Brother there is only one Faith, one Lord and on Baptism.
And out of water or Spirit? I see which one is one, Spirit, water good for a good conscience sake between God and you, not for membership, please, and belong to this earth's gloss it has taken on since it could not stop truth found in Christ alone
The Bible is our rule of faith
if 99.999 percent protestants disagree
it just shows they are wrong.
The Bible says what God wants it to say
whether one reads it or not.
or believes it or not
Bible says
get Baptizd or you have a non biblical religion.
I read the Bible that is what it says.
Doesnt matter what protestants think
Well, take a pole. I used to be a protestant, and I don't recall that term being used, except to speak of RCC doctrine (which was disapproved).
I don't think that most Prots believe that water baptism saves, and some are no doubt universalists believing that no one goes to hell.
Why are you a denomination of any religion here on earth. Did Christ not say that his Kingdom here is not of this earth? As he had Peter put down his sword that cut off the ear of Malchus, the man that took Jesus to the chief elders of that day. And Jesus restored that man's ear and went willingly to the cross. Said to Peter if his Kingdom was here on earth, he would fight, but he did not. So where is the true Kingdom at? Heaven or here on earth?
There are no prayers for the dead in the Bible.
If one is in and remains in a PRESENT TENSE state of crucifying and putting Christ to shame then it will be impossible for them to repent.
OSAS is a wrong concept = Once Saved Always Saved.
A proper designation is "eternally secure."
The Biblical concept is saved. If a man is saved, then he is saved. (duh, rocket science). The expression "always saved," suggests that there is such a thing as temporary saved. But a temporary opportunity to be saved is not saved. It is just a chance to be saved. You may as well talk about square circles.
To claim one can be saved, not not always saved, is a denial of salvation, and a denial that we have a Savior who has saved us.
We are secure in Him.
Complete in thee,
No work of mine,
Can take, dear Lord,
The place of thine;
Thy blood hath pardon bought for me;
And I am now,
Complete in thee.
"For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified." Heb 10
"For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life;
nor angels, nor principalities;
nor things present, nor things to come;
nor powers;
nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Sorry, but, you are just trying to substitute and pervert the essence of my thoughts by selective manipulation of separate verses.
If, you like to answer me, then just answer, without attempt to proclaim from my behave, something what I never said.
It seems manipulative trickery with Holy Scritures is beloved hobby of all OSAS funs.
is it Satanic heresy to deny eternal security? I don't think so. I beleive that the blood of Jesus covers every sin a believer commits. God already knew every sin each of us would commit. The Bible call Jesus "the Lamb sacrificed before the foundation of the world. God is outside of time so there are no "future" sins we will commit. We don't lose our salvation every time we sin because that would make GOD unfaithful to us. He loves us and promises He will NEVER leave us.
You know why Catholics pray to Mother Mary. Because they were taught to do so since they were 2 years old. You know Muslims cling to Islam, because they were taught to do so since they were 2 years old. You know why Buddhist pray to Buddha because they were taught to so since they were 2 years old. You know why Baptist believe that water baptism is the only means of salvation. Because they were taught that since they were 2 years old.
The most difficult thing is unlearning what you have learned. That's why the cross is so offensive to people.
Eternal security is saying even tough I hit that hoe and I smoked that crack I am all good.
I f your in the boat it don't mean that you can jump out the boat.
seems like some people would rather see people go to hell, than say come up hither. We don't know the last thought that someone might have before they die, and i believe if Hitler, right before lights out, asked for forgiveness from the Almighty, that it would be granted, same as many others that some would not want in heaven. Get this, none of us deserve Heaven, we all deserve the pit, but thank the Almighty for His mercy that will bring us home.
A very powerful scripture so let find out what it means...whoever( is it anyone,everyone.all) hears(does it mean just listening with your ears or does it mean to obey)my word(what word, does it mean specific commands or not)and believes in him who sent me(God sent him so how do I believe God ,is it in my mind? do I have to simply trust, should I obey him? What does he say a believer ought to do?)has eternal life.(so are these conditions to eternal life? if I don't get it right will I still have eternal life?)He does not come into judgement, (does this mean he will not judged? does it mean the judgement will not affect him because he meets some requirement?)but has passed from death to life (is the passing from death to life based on not coming into judgement which is based on believing which is based on hearing.
Not OSAS since there are so many different interpretations on this and what one is saying in misinterpretations. as is waht I see here being misinterpreted
I am okay not OSAS, I am "eternally secure in Father's grace" Thank you Jesus
Does this answer, not trying to manipulate anythin, just stating waht i see as truth, that has set me free.
Reffering your own trust to your eternal security (= which is claim that you had saved already),
