I asked:
Your opinions are simply wrong. You have been taught WRONG.
And I will prove it here and now.
Please answer these short and simple questions. This will demonstrate your comprehension of Scripture.
1. Does a believer possess eternal life?
2. Does a believer possess eternal life based on fruit or belief in Christ?
3. Can a believer EVER perish?
2 base on believe and Christ on him will bear fruit
What you DON'T have is any evidence or support from Scripture about your "faith plus works" salvation system.
3 no as long as he keep believe, stop believe stop save
Same here. You DON'T have any verses that teach this.
Anyway, thanks for your answers. According to Jesus, He disagrees with your failed understanding of what He taught.
He taught in John 5:24 that believers possess eternal life.
He taught in John 5:24 that believers have passed from (spiritual) death to (eternal) life.
He taught in John 10:28 that those who have been given eternal life shall never perish.
There is NOTHING IN EITHER verse about fruit.
You have been deceived by whoever has been teaching you.
I'm really amazed that you aren't "connecting the dots" here. From Jn 5:24 eternal life is possessed by believers. That means they possess eternal life WHEN they believe, because at the MOMENT of saving faith, they ARE believers, and thus, possess eternal life.
Then, from Jn 10:28 Jesus said that those He gives eternal life (Jn 5:24 - WHEN the believe) they shall never perish.
So, your view proves that you do NOT believe what Jesus taught in John 10:28.
Fruit is commanded of believers, those who are already saved. That is what Jesus taught in John 15. And by saying "abide in Me and I will abide in you", Jesus was teaching His disciples they can't bear fruit UNLESS they are in fellowship with Him.
And John clarified how to be in fellowship with the Lord in 1 John 1.
