I don't even know what you said if you said anything

I have reported stones now because I have finally had enough of her sticking her nose in my business

I said I was sevenseas when I came back as rekeyed

and I have no clue what writing style you mean or who you think/thought or whatever you think I should be

it's ridiculous

I would not be surprised at this point if people actually reported me and said I was Fran

grow up the lot of you

Eternal security is granted as long as I stay in belief...I do not work for salvation, and I do not believe once I am saved God removes my free choice and I am a hostage to him...if I decide to stop believing in his promises, I am leaving him and the gift...

Exactly why you teach a works based gospel regardless of your diatribe against those who teach a grace/faith based eternal salvation.....Does your Jesus fail in his ability to finish what he started and bring it to completion? According tot he above statement yes....HE fails and you succeed........!

You have too many I's in here to claim your not working for salvation.

If you trusted God to save you, there would be no I's in the equation.

I know you may think you are not trying to earn it, But I do not see it that way because of this reason. You still have control of a gift of God. That means in the en, you can boast off earning your reward for stying in faith n not falling away.

I believe God uses the words boast for a reason, that way we can test.

is there any way we can take credit for our salvation.

Me, I trust God and his work, and I trust him to do as he promised. I am not working hard to make sure my faith remains and is not lost. I m trusting God to grow my faith as he promised he would and he has yet to fail me, or give me a reason to fall back. and stop trusting him for salvation, or thinking i do not need saved.

Others, they trust God to save them, then have to trust in themselves to maintain that salvation. Whatever you do to maintain that salvation, that i where boasting come in.

Again, we are talking about faith concerning salvation, not faith concerning areas off our live, I can lack and even lose faith in certain areas, But salvation is different.

I agree...his statement places it square on his shoulders and states clearly that Jesus fails in his promise to finish the faith that he began in all who have eternal life........If I have to remain in Jesus to stay saved then Jesus is not the finisher of MY FAITH nor does he complete that good work he began in me......!

Jesus saves to the uttermost and we are KEPT by the POWER of GOD.......to say what he said means we are NOT saved to the uttermost, GOD does not keep us and his power is worthless as well as his promises to finish and not forsake us!

Darlin', it isn't a "prize". Eternal life with Jesus is a GIFT, not a prize.. Heaven isn't a carnival where you can earn prizes..lol

I can't help it, I don't want any prize but to be with Him. You can have my prizes and hats. I hereby bequeath them to you. Let everyone note that Jennie has bequeathed her prizes and hats to EG! I will not be caring about them but only want to be with Him! :)

Hi Magenta; I wish to make an apology to you and everybody that knows me on this thread. I made a statement to a poster on this thread that I was a missionary with stage 4 prostate cancer. That was a false and misleading statement to all of you that I care about on this forum. I do have stage 4 prostate cancer but I am not a missionary. When I am wrong I like to openly admit that I was wrong. If it was something that was done in public I believe it should be addressed in a public form. Thank you for your kind consideration and I really do appreciate being a small part of everybody's life here at Christianchat.com. So again please forgive me and God bless all of you.

No worries bro.....and if you spread the truth in essence you are an emissary for Christ...................one who can admit error is a rare thing indeed..........

You did deny you weren't Lauren. That is what I said. And as far as sticking noses into others business. My posts aren't disrespectful. But, I can't say that for yours about me.

We had Chinese take-out for lunch :D

My boss treated us :eek: Ginger beef brisket, roasted piggie, sweet and sour breaded chicken, egg plant with peppers and carrot, fried rice noodles, pork and shrimp fried rice with diced veggies, a couple of chow mein type dishes, broccoli and beef, and balled melon in a hollowed out melon. It was yummy! :eek: A good thing I do not eat like that very often :)
