Its the old "sinners prayer" straw man, no one here teaches a person can just say some sinners prayer and be saved apart from true repentance and faith.
anyon can say a prayer, only God knows who means it though.
The He issue is they try to make God human, like he can not know who has tru saving faith, so he needs proof.
The new covenant is not an agreement with two parties. Its the will of inheritance left by the Lord for His body. Our obedience is to receive this. Then Holy Spirit takes up the work where Jesus left off.
I agree with you on some things but not this.
The Abraham covenant has been fulfilled by the Cross and resurrection, and we are children of faith.
I don't see too much of ourselves being part and parcel of our salvation since God knows the end from the beginning. Why would He seal those who are going to fail Him? Then give His power?
No, He finishes what He started through the work of Holy Spirit.

Hhi Meggido...Am i right in thinking that people in the OT were saved by Faith and made sacrifices of blood to cover their guilt and this was done once a year
...But then when Jesus died, His Sacrifice covered all, no more blood needs to be shed, no more going to the high priests to be cleansed, so now we live in the NT, we live by faith through Grace...xox...

Hey sis, what does the author of Hebrews say about the priest and animal sacrifice did it ever make true atonement?
Heb 10: For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”[c] 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”[d] 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
I have to say that after i got saved, i had no one, not one single person but the Holy Spirit teaching me, i did watch a few programs to help me, but even then i had to be aware that i was not being led a stray...For one whole year i studied my bible while recovering from mental illness, just God and I...Yes i now know it`s important to study with others, i now attend a lovely little bible study group just on my door step...I remember asking God to give me Christian friends, i was so lonely not being able to share my faith, He blessed me by leading me to my now Christian brothers and sisters...God knows those who have no one, but then when we feel alone, He reminds us of who He is and He will never leave us nor forsake us...xox...

I did not see anywhere where you said that people in mega churches do not talk to each other.
I think there was a little eisegesis being done.

In fact he made quite a few statements that did not reflect what
I said at all, so he just defined himself as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

ok I will have t think about this, never heard it before.. lol, but it makes sense, if you have your guilt removed, it can't hurt you, when we feel guilty, we are pretty much dead and useless to God, we are wallowing in self pity,
It yeah, no one was saved truly apart from th cross, OT or NT does not matter,
