No matter how many times he states it, LOVE is not a part of the salvation process on our part....we cannot even begin to love until AFTER we have already been saved...
The following bolded and underlined is false and not biblical...and there is NONE good no not ONE....

Good story, that is what the Holy Spirit does to a good person. That is why I say 'love' is part of the saving process. Without love, nothing happens.
Have you ever said for me to get off the forum?
Have you ever said that you are going to report me? Why would you report me if you didn't want me blackballed from the forum?
Do you realize that when Jesus said this he included himself? Anyway sorry for calling somebody a good person. That was a hugh mistake, thank you for correcting me.
Once you received it, you gave it. We all must be willing to give our love to everyone.
Ben...If you have the Holy Spirit in you then one is saved , if you do not have the Holy Spirit then one is not saved...There are billions of people who claim to be a Christian , they end up walking away , once the Holy Spirit is living inside of you , we are no longer our own , we have died with Christ and risen in Him , your post seem to claim that God Almighty is very weak , you are treading on very thin ice...God's word gives us assurance that we are saved , anything else comes from the evil one , be careful who your listening to , because your god is not the Almighty God that breathed the inspired word...xox...
NO where does the bible teach that LOVE on our part is part of salvation....Love is a spiritual gift and a process of growth and maturity AFTER one has been saved.......
As a matter of fact---> It is NOT that WE LOVED HIM, but that HE LOVED US and GAVE HIMSELF for US.........and JESUS said what about himself....???
Because you believe 'love' is not part of salvation, and I do believe 'love' is part of the salvation process, you are giving me the pshycoanalysis? We are not that far apart.
Hi Rosemaryx, and God bless you for telling benur he is treading on thin ice and that the bible gives us our assurance that we are truly saved, praise God.
I would never imply that God Almighty is weak. But we are weak vessels and the Holy Spirit will not remain in us if we give ourselves over to sin. The Holy Spirit will not continue to live in you if you continue to buckle under sin and live a life that is not reflective of your Christian beliefs. It does not mean God is weak, it just means you are weak. If you sucumb to the Holy Spirit and live a life that allows the Holy Spirit to be in you he will continue unrestricted. But if you live a life that satan would be happy to endorse, the Holy Spirit will not continue in you.
Now we are back to square 1, Was the person you speak of ever really saved at all?
I absolutely agree to what you are saying about people who claim to be walking in Christ Jesus , these are the ones you should be addressing , but we walk in the Spirit of God , and because we do still fall short because we are not yet perfect , we have an Intercessor for us who speaks on our behalf , and His name is Jesus Christ...
We as God`s children still sin , but not like we once did , everyday we grow more towards the thought of not willfully sinning against God , we resist temptations but still fall , we do not sin habitually like before , that is the difference...xox...
You misinterpret "reporting a post that is rude", just like you misinterpret the bible.
Reporting a post is not "blackballing anyone.", and I never said I wanted you "off the forum."
These are complete lies from you about me on a public forum and these words were "never, ever, ever" spoken by me, ever.
I will say this; benhur you have some serious issues with your fake gospel.

Now you are back peddling; there is no truth in your words benhur. This is just one more of a thousand times you are using a fictitious story, with no proof that this ever happen and no eyewitnesses.
And besides who made you Judge, Jury, and executioner.
benhur you are pushing a counterfeit gospel.
Stop with your fictitious stories; You say quote:"The Holy Spirit will not continue 'to live in you', if you continue to buckle under sin." Wrong; "where sin increased, grace increased all the more," And I'm sure you do not like the Apostle Paul's words;
Romans5:20
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

he (not TruthTalk, TruthTalk is my brother) should take that big wooden gavel out of his eyes and take off that white wig of his
NONE! Why do you NOT believe what the BIBLE says ? ? ?
1 John 2:19 (NKJV)
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
They were NEVER BORN AGAIN, IF THEY WENT OUT.
ABSOLUTELY, the Ones who cannot speak here, will probably be given TEACHING ROLES in the KINGDOM.
The ones born with defective vocal cords WILL get to speak all they want in the Kingdom. GOD understands our handicaps, and he will make it fair and right.
