Not By Works

John 10:4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

John 10:14
I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,

John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Our LORD Jesus knows who are His...

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

We are His sheep , protected from the wolves , they try to so hard to put fear into us by their losable salvation , but our Lord and Savior says " NO , THEY ARE MINE , My Father gave them to Me \/.
...xox...

Yes they deceitfully flip it around ... put the focus back on man.

The truth is that we are eternally saved because He never, ever leaves us!!
If he never leaves us...He never leaves us and our "will" has no place in the conversation.

Grade Eight Grammar:

So tells us what is the subject of this sentence?

Is it salvation?

NO, holy and blameless is not a reference to salvation.

So what is the subject?

Maintaining hope so that one is spurred towards sanctification.

Exactly

End of lesson.

The whole Bible as well, so we get a good balanced understanding instead of picking and choosing what you like. Those scriptures need to be included with the rest of your theology, instead of dismissing them.

Truly this is one of the most anti-truth statements if there ever was one.



Interesting, you put place the saving power IN your CHOICE.

False once again.

Following Jesus is maintaining your Salvation! Who do you follow then?

I do not like the way you talk to people.

These clowns will find out that they had no faith in Jesus.....albeit way to late to do any good

And what is the good news of Jesus?

So this is your church

The Elim Pentecostal Church is a UK-based Pentecostal Christian denomination.

However I left the church when I sought help.
I was asked if I prayed in tongues.
When I said no I was told it was evidence I wasn't saved.

The testing of your faith occurs in this life, not the life to come.


Whether or not your faith continues determines if you will continue to possess the life that is eternal.


That's right.
If you go back to unbelief and God turns you over to that unbelief, there ain't no coming back. God doesn't allow that.

The church is apostate.
Jesus is coming soon.

These people don't realize it, but they reveal their true selves by how they treat their enemies.
Anyone can be nice to those who agree with them. Even pagans do that.
The real test of character is in how you treat your enemies.

It means grace is not a license to sin with impunity as the new osas says it is.

I have seen lovely things said on here. And also things not lovely said. If you look for the lovely, you will find it.

That is exactly what is happening in this thread.
This thread seems to exist for the very purpose of going on that rant.
It's almost like the opening post was inviting the challenge, not making a helpful contribution to believers.

So basically new OSAS and old OSAS teach that we can sin with impunity?

I will never be friendly and or coddle the enemies of Christ that devalue his faith, grace, mercy, love, blood, promises, power, sacrifice and work on our behalf......ever!
