the Sabbath

You obviously disagree with my post, what I said it is Christ power in us and it His work in us (which is what you also said) but I continued . . .and in Christ we would be obedient to God’s law. So you agree with everything but the being obedient to God’s law.

So. . .I guess you mean this

So all we have to do is believe, but we do not need to be obedient to God’s law
Need to be born again, but can also be disobedient to God’s law

You might consider guidance of the scriptures because it all comes back to obedience to God which for some reason people resist so much, like they did in scripture. In scripture it connects believing with obedience Heb 4: 3,6 John 3:18-20 and reborn to being without sin Romans 6 and sin is breaking God’s law. 1 John 3:4 Romans 7:7 so again reborn means one is obedient to God’s law if we are to follow the scriptures.

People like smooth doctrine that tickles the ear 2 Tim 4:3 they want to be their own teachers instead of having Christ 1 John 2:6 and the guidance of the Holy Spirit John 14:15-18. If Christ is residing in us we wouldn’t be rebelling against God’s law. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

We are probably too far apart in our beliefs to come to any understandings and that’s ok. I wish you well in seeking Truth to God’s Word.

That's not at all what I am saying. The first part is correct. The only stipulation for salvation is belief. There are no stipulations for staying saved.
There are evidences as to whether one is actually saved or not. But once one is born again, what exactly is the process for being unborn again? Once one has eternal life, how is something eternal become uneternal?
Now all this is not to say that one who is saved will not be obedient to the law. They will obey the law. But obedience will not be through personal endeavor, but results from the work the Spirit does in us and the discipline we receive of the Father. It remains all of grace. He who begins the work in us is faithful to continue it. He will never leave us or forsake us.

1 Corinthians 1:21 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

This goes around my question. Can you answer yes or no?
I understand it was a serious error. But to be condemned can carry with it a number of meanings.

Paul confronted Cephas to his face and rebuked him for corrupting the gospel. A very serious charge.

14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all...

Cephas had distorted the gospel of grace into obedience to the law, a legalist gospel.

Did you notice Paul is using Peter's pre-Christian name, Cephas?

I understand the serious nature of perverting the gospel. But if Peter was actually under condemnation, he either lost his salvation or never actually had it. Are you suggesting either of these 2 things are true?

Grace simply isn't enough for some.
Here's something else I've been considering lately. God has told us He will never leave us or forsake us. These words are of course are meant to encourage us through difficult times. But they also negate any possibility that we will ever be separated from God. There are those who teach that while God cannot separate Himself from us, we can separate from Him. How is that possible if He won't go away? Don't know why but I've been particularly blessed considering this verse recently.
BTW...how is retirement going? Has it started?

My retirement begins June 1st.

It depends on how serious the charge against Peter is.

Why does Paul tell the Galatians about Cephas and Cephas making the same mistake, as the Galatians are making?

Why does Paul tell the Galatians that if they follow the law, they have fallen from grace?

Galatians 5:4
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace.

Cephas was in the state of having fallen from grace, an enemy of the church.

The Galatians were committing the very same mistake Cephas had made, fallen from grace.

He was certainly in grave sin. So let me ask it this way: can someone be saved and lose their salvation?

My retirement begins June 1st.

According to Paul, certainly they can fall from grace.

Paul warned the Galatians that they would fall from grace, if they persisted with the law.

Unless you have an alternate interpretation of the following verse.

Galatians 5:4
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace.

The meaning of the verse is straight forward.

Your interpretation of Romans 3:31 is corrupt.

You inherited a corrupt interpretation and you ran with it.

Paul is talking to the Jews in Rome in Romans 3:31.

You either accept Christ crucified as the reason for your salvation, or you reject it.

Either you accept salvation by grace through faith, or you reject it.

The works of the law have no place in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Falling from grace can simply mean not acting according to grace. Severed from Christ can simply mean loss of fellowship and blessing. But it can't mean a saved person isn't saved anymore. That would mean God did leave them and forsake them.
Do you understand fall from grace to mean lose salvation or evidence they never really had salvation?

A simple question???
Can you love Jesus so much that you want to obey the law?
Can you accept salvation by grace and obey the law because you love Jesus?

Do faith and works need to be seperated? Or made to oppose each other.

The Sabbath is listed in the spoken words at Mt Sinai.

The Sabbath is definitely a work of the law.

Any attempt by the human will to obey a law is a work of the law.

Unfortunately, you selected one of the heavier works of the law to follow.

You must be kidding yourself.
