Not By Works

Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Rom 6:16-18

Two worlds. Slaves to sin, not in the Spirit but the world, slaves to righteousness, in the Spirit and not of the world.

Peoples testimonies declare where they reside rather than what is actually possible, big difference.

Hard to believe those pushing this OSAS false security will tell you that Judas was never saved even though Jesus called him preach

Thanks for giving me your opinion not addressing the scripture. Does the Bible tell us to do something we could not possibly do?

Yeah those heretics, I wonder where they got that idea?

Oh yeah, here:

John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

I believe it does.

Things like: Be ye perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

i confess i cant do that.

Does COMMAND imply ABILITY?

Without Gods word and the Holy Spirit dwelling within, almost anything can be said without realising what it means. I have seen too many back tracking positions because it seemed right to them until suddenly they realised it showed they did not know God.

Hi forum, news update; "Kapow!" -- "God is Faithful", last Thursday I went to the ER, had emergency surgery and Praise Jesus I am now home and doing well, always trust in the Lord no matter what your circumstance and Praise His Name always.

Love to read your insightful posts -- I will jump back in the discussion when God permits,

Psalm 145:21
My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever

Did you miss my post...I just want to know if you are Peter Jens...xox...

I am curious, why do you think I am Peter Jens, whoever they are?
Do you want to make contact with them about something?
Maybe I can help you.....

So Jesus called Judas to preach the gospel and he wasn't even saved???

Sure Jesus knew from the beginning What Judas would do but that does not mean that Judas was a devil when Jesus called him preach the gospel

Think about what you're saying Jesus called Judas to preach and gave him power to preach and heal the sick

Peter said Judas by transgression fell but you say you was never saved

Praise God you're doing well

Praise the Lord He brought you through this difficult time in His love and peace.

You are absolutely right.....there is a way that seems right but the end thereof are the ways of death

Because you type so like him , and when I read your post , I hear the same voice...Thank you for replying...xox...

Yes you are right.

We do not have to sin, but we do and when we do we choose to do so.

Sin of commission and sin of ommision.

Whether it be commission or ommision it's still willful.

OK, For example: Here is a core statement of my theology: I believe that I am saved by grace through faith and not be works.

I get that from Ephesians 2:8,9.

Serious question.

How do you know if you don't?

I myself when I confess my sin before God always ask "Reveal to me any sin that I have committed that I'm not aware off"

A real eye opener when you do that, the Holy Spirit looks at your whole day and reveals stuff.

A simple example being my daughter wants to talk about something but I say no because I'm typing on this site.

Don't do it anymore.
She is more important than this site.

Where is that verse where someone had eternal life and lost it? i provided mine but you didnt accept it and my definition
can you do the same to me now?
