You brought up the "overused" issue. Doesn't bother me either because I know the power of my salvation and the eternal length of it depends on the Blood of Jesus and not some "mandate, legalist, work" formula. Incomplete knowledge is a great way to look at those who do not believe salvation is...

What part of the word "sealed" by the Holy Spirit can one not understand. Who is "forced" to accept or "retain" salvation? Oh my my my. lololol

Let me assure you I am no "snowflake." Salvation is not an "idea." BTW do you know how long the sentence "license to sin" has been thrown away by the "works" crowd?

Well then you do not understand the act of salvation - given to us - without any works.

Absolutely

Amen

Two separate subjects: Relationship, fellowship. I can never undo my relationship with my parents, whether they were good parents or bad. I, however, could stop my fellowship with them. The story of the prodigal son represents this so well IMHO.

Those of you who slander OSAS people use the same ole phrase of "license to sin." Can you come up with a new one?

Absolutely untrue about saved once and for all by the Lord Jesus Christ. You sir need to read what scripture says about "untruth" as that is a sin too. No person who believes in saved once and for all desires to nor preaches that we can go on our merry way in our lives after salvation and live...

If God did not accept us as we are, we would never be accepted. Why? Because we can never, ever clean ourselves up without the "blood of Jesus" to wash away all sin and defilement.

Our debt is paid in full. Jesus Christ paid it on the Cross. We are to bear fruit and to spread the Good News. We are to forgive. Some deeds perpetrated against us may take the power of the HS within us to enable us to forgive.

Woe unto those who decide the Blood of Jesus is not powerful enough to wipe away all sin and to save our souls unto eternity. Woe to those who misconstrue salvation as something to be worked for and to be kept through works. Woe to those who see not that salvation is a gift and one to be...

Don't know about you but I do not plan on stopping with any future total of posts. As long as this thread remains open (and I hope it does) I will continue to support Not By Works.

If OSAS is not what happens at the moment of receiving Jesus Christ as our Savior, then there is no security in any other venue for salvation. If salvation can be lost and only retained through works or certain acts, then we are no better off than the Sadducee, Pharisee. There is no "false...

I believe there are going to be "many" who doubt the "power of Jesus's Blood to save us all" and who deny that what Jesus sacrificed was powerful enough to cover a "multitude" of sins and to cover us with "whiter than snow" in order for our filthy rags of works to allow us to enter into the...

I struggled for years believing that I had to do "works" to stay saved. It literally "wore me out." Then as I studied more and more of scripture, I came to realize there would never be enough "works" for me to keep my salvation and that my salvation was the ultimate gift from God the Creator...

I believe in forgiveness as well and that it sets our hearts and minds free from the burden of the past. It does not mean those evil actions were blessed with our forgiveness. It means our souls are set free and we no longer are prisoners to such evilness. God will sort it all out. I've had...

Only God knows the "heart" of a person. He also told us there would be wolves in sheep's clothing among us. So many wolves in today's world. I also believe what someone means as an evil act, God can turn into good.

Whenever we stop and think of our sinful selves, what a miracle that the Lord bestowed upon us at the time of our salvation. I often wonder why He cared enough to save me, clean me up and yet I still stumble, fumble.
