It still says I am sealed until the day of redemption
obedience has no say in the matter
obedience is a byproduct of being born if God. Not a requirement
people want to add obedience as a requirement making salvation based on works not based on grace. And not come to understand gods people do obey. They just are not all superchristians. Some remain babes. But are saved all the same

Eph 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Phil 2:13-16
for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labour for nothing.
As Gods workmanship, we are holy, righteous, pure and blameless, shinning lights beaming out in a world of sin

Genesis 4
6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is [d]for you, but you should rule over it.”
>this has been procured at the CROSS
>but you don't believe it
>because you have no faith in Christ, but rather faith in your flesh ruling over you.

not surprised "hewillcome2040" is wrong on this as well. he is a false prophet making fake predictions and date setting and calling Jesus a liar in his little thread he started.
there are so many of them. i believe internet is really terrible for christianity. all the crazy people get a platform. it was harder before internet to get a following and attention now all these online ministeries all you need is a fancy website or youtube page and people will come to you. but if you were in a street corner with sign sayin Jesus returns 2040 people will just say oh its another crazy person pay him no mind. and they would be right with this wolf here
am i only one who notice heresy seems to addon and pile up more? once you embrace one deception more will come

Salvation? Baptism? Big subjects, not answered with one word. Do you agree with the scripture I quoted?
1 Thess 3:13
May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones
Rom 10:10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life
He disobeyed a command of God. Is that the same as losing faith? Or not believing?

I attended a congregation for about a year where the pastor was truly a wonderful, fervent man of God. He helped me at my lowest point in life. The one problem I had though is that he constantly talked about the enemy.
The devil this, the devil that, all the time he talked about the enemy. So one day I was hammering a nail and smashed my finger with the hammer. I immediately thought that was the Devil that did that. I quickly realized that’s not the case at all, I simply hit my finger with the hammer.
I needed to leave that congregation to seek one where Jesus was the focus. Words are powerful for sure.

Yes it can be answered with one word
are we saved by water baptism or Holy Spirit baptism
if it is water than your answer is yed
if spirit. Your answer is no
very simple
I believe in all scripture. I may not agree with your interpretation is certain scripture that is what I also am trying to understand so I can say yes I agree or no I do not (with your interpretation)

Are we saved by water baptism or Holy Spirit baptism?
Acts 19:3-5
So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?John's baptism," they replied.
Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Salvation is through Jesus. So neither water nor the Holy Spirit save.
Expressing scripture and our views of its meaning is encouraging. You seem to be wanting something else, what is that?
You said, "yes it can be answered with one word". I hope I have shown this is simply not true.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, is in the mind of man, when they think the miracles HE DID, were probably of the Devil. Sadly they REJECT, what the Holy Spirit is trying to get them to BELIEVE IN THERE Heart (Human Spirit), which it is also a form of the Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
THEREFORE I can NAME A Multitude of people that refers to. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU CALL BLASPHEMING THE HOLY SPIRIT, but this is going to be a good one. Do you even know that BLASPHEMING can be NONE VERBAL? Rejecting the LORD, is the most common blaspheming the Holy Spirit, as YOU HAVE JUST committed BLASPHEMY against the WORK of the Holy Spirit.

Such a rather "odd" question isn't it?
If there were a "christian" who blasphemed the Holy Spirit?
That christian would not BE a christian!
Or, perhaps the asker of said question thinks I am as moronic as the asker?
Which begs the question. Who the heck are you!
And, what did you do with Lightskin, eh?
Fallen angels entertaining unbeknownst by the flesh?

OSAS have a real problem with this one. According to OSAS doctrine of NEVER EVER BEING POSSIBLE TO LOSE YOUR SALVATION, you could blaspheme the Holy Spirit after you are saved and still have no consequences. Even though the Lord says there is no forgiveness for the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. OSASSERS, how about giving this one an explanation.

Do you want to discuss this or not?
fact is water baptism will get you wet. And is a command of God. But has no salvation significance. We obey this command for same reason we obey any command we trust God
however. HS baptism saves (rom 6, 1 cor 12, Col 2, with Titus 3:5) among other
if we are not immersed (baptized) by God unto the cross we are not saved. Whether we got water baptized or no
Paul says there is on baptism along with one faith
one saves one does not
