Yes its satanic heresy to deny eternal security, its an attack on God. In fact those Christ died for were Eternally Secure while they were unbelievers and hating God !
Ricky, are you making an unprovoked personal attack on myself?
I post scripture. The Bible is clear that believers have eternal life and are eternally secure in it, for Christ is a Savior who brings salvation, not just a giver of a chance for salvation.
Read the scripture, and make up your own mind. I don't ask anyone to believe such truth just because I say it.
I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that He is able
to keep that which he has committed to me against that day.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
I dont know what you mean by eternal security.
The satanic heresy is saying the eternally lazy and disobedient and uncaring selfish people think they are going to heaven when they are not.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that licve selfishly and refuse to keep the commandments.
No, it is not Satanic Heresy to deny eternal security.
It is Satanic Heresy to create a thread which is guaranteed to generate heated debate and confusion.
Why in the world would a Christian "stops asking for more forgiveness when they sin" unless that Christian is desiring to be unforgiven and therefore lost?

quite frankly, I don't see what all that has to do with the subject at hand.

all I ever hear from you people is trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, AS IF I DON'T? That's not even the issue. I do for my salvation whatever God asks me to do. You can call it what you want. I know you are familiar with the parable of the talents. This parable shows the danger of doing nothing.

Are you familiar with before the cross and after the cross. What is the transition in this before and after
Is before under Law and Christ fulfilling it why?
And in before under Law are we condemned to death, not being able to be perfect to go to heaven?
Read why the disciples asked Christ after they watched that rich man walk away sad who obeyed the law from birth on, who could not give up his worldly possession to be perfect and go there?
The Disciples finally got and were annihilated and ask How then can anyone go to Heaven then read it in Matt 19
Also remember this they had also heard if your hand sins, cut it off, better for part of you to go to heaven than all of you go to hell. This was said about Adultery, just look at another and thus think it, you have sinned, gouge out that eye(s), oh and while you are at it if under the Law cut out thy tongues as well
So now maybe you might see what Christ came to do, fulfill all the Law and Prophets concerning him, to die for you and thus give you new life when you finally move past the death, and agree with and in thankfulness thank God and ask for the new life in Spirit and truth, given at the resurrected Christ
I think by what you just stated here you have and got it just not yet seeing fully
Philippians 3:10-11
Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [SUP]11 [/SUP]if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
OK so I am missing resurrected Christ, seeing only a piece of the cross ,seeing death,with a half sham Gospel with only death no life, hoping for but never receiving mercy,trying to be perfect in the flesh. You know all this about me that is great. You have learned a lot I am happy for you. I am not moved by your opinion your words of death cannot touch me.You cannot steal my joy.

At the resurrected Christ, is what you and others might be missing not seeing the whole cross, only seeing the death, a half sham Gospel, where there is no life only death. And one goes out to be all they can be, hoping for Mercy and never receiving it. Being caught up in trying to be perfect in their own flesh, when no flesh willo please God but Christ's and that is done over and out. Then came the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth to give us that new life in Spirit and truth by his resurrection, for our new life more abundantly as he said he came to do in John 10:10
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

IMHO, that intercessory prayer of Paul for the Ephesians is the most important prayer in the Bible for the Christian life.
Note the sequence:
1) Intercession by a 3rd party (Paul).
2) God grants. (1st party)
3) The Spirit strengthens the (weak) inner man (on its unaided weakness compare Romans 7)
4) Faith by the Christian (2nd party) -- the only action by the 2nd party in the passage.
5) Christ dwells in the heart (not at the periphery of the life).
6) The 2nd party is rooted and grounded in the Love of the Lord Jesus (cf. the song, "Oh the Deep, deep, love of Jesus."
7) filled to all the fullness of God.
This is the only passage I know of that indicated how the Christian is filled. I don't say you can't pray this for yourself, only that in context Paul is praying for other Christians far away from him who probably have no idea Paul is praying for them.
I expect that this prayer was effective, though about a generation later the Ephesians had left their first love, illustrating that victory in the Christian life is ever temporary -- no guarantee that 5 minutes from now we won't stumble. It is like Peter walking on the water.
I prayed this prayer for you. And I ask you to pray it for me.

Repentance comes in 2 flavors in the NT. The usual word and that associated with salvation (the few times when it may used instead of "believe") is metanoia, an afterthought, a change of mind. As salvation is offered so many times just for believe/trust/faith in Christ, it is concluded that the only repentance which saves is a change of mind from not trusting Christ to trusting Christ.
The other word group, metamelomai, connotes sorrow for sin; but this does not save. Judas had this one; then went out and hanged himself.
Johnny- The boy who OBEYS every word father says with love.
Cain - The boy who always had an excuse why that rule never applies to him.
Were both present at the estate reading of their fathers will...
at the end of the meeting one boy recieved the inheritance
and the other boy recieved one dollar
Question: Who recieved the inheritance, Johnny or Cain?
Obvious questions for one hundred, please.
Likewise, there aare boys, even today, who always have some sort of reason why they dont have to keep the fathers commandments...
