1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5 So that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the power of God. 1 Corinthians 4:19 But I will come to you soon...

No so. I have known many Christians who attend church but never do anything else. Lukewarm Christians, they never seem to grow. I don't think they really read the scripture or call on the name of Jesus very often. A Christian life free from persecution, a no cost walk with Jesus. For a long...

I am considering what you said except for the doctrine of OSAS. Matthew 25:41-46 Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you accursed people, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I...

I did think about what you said. That is what triggered my post. The whole counsel of God I still don't believe that someone could say such a thing. Not even Paul understood the full counsel of God, he called it a mystery.

You constantly stumble in your understanding. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you! James 4:8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Seems to be the reverse of what your saying. Correct me if I am...

Tell me why some folk cannot understand a simple letter?

You may have to learn some humility. You stated the following. Because some of us look at the whole counsel of God You must be kidding yourself. The whole counsel of God? We all struggle with the basics. This forum in the whole merely just scratches the surface of the revelation of the...

I know exactly what your saying, what you believe. You believe that someone can drift and even rebel but God will not reject them. I do not believe that. There are far too many warnings in the New Testament regarding the bearing of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. See if you can read and...

The way I see it is different. No fruit, no growth, drifting, has only one outcome. Revelation 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

We already know that. What Paul was looking for in these young churches was the fruit of the Holy Spirit. To be more precise, the evidence of conversion was the evidence and growth of the fruit among these churches. Faith and love must be growing and therefore sin must be declining. This is...

Hebrews 10:29 How much more severe punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

What you said is so obvious, "before they're hearts are made hard and cease to believe". They misunderstand the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our salvation hinges on that act of believing in Jesus, that faith in Jesus (Romans 10:9). A continuous sinful life style as a Christian erodes that faith in...

The Galatians at the time of the reception of Paul's letter were fallen from grace. The Galatian church was severed from Jesus Christ. Paul's warning was a very strong rebuke of the Galatian church. This has nothing to do with gentle discipline of some in the church.

You have an interpretation and you applied it to the text below. Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace. Your interpretation is faulty and ignores the plain language of the text. 'Severed from Christ' means...

I don't think that a Christian that habitually lives in sin is saved. Especially if they have been strongly disciplined by the Lord for their sin.

Your choice, walk by the power of the Holy Sprit or walk by the flesh.

You have been released from legalism and that is fantastic. It is always encouraging to hear from someone who has escaped that yoke of slavery. 1 Corinthians 2-5 And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come as someone superior in speaking ability or wisdom, as I proclaimed to...

The Galatians had been deceived and were following the law. The Galatians had been deceived, they had been bewitched. Paul's warning was a very serious warning. Severed from Christ, fallen from grace, it did not "look like" the Galatian church had fallen from grace. The Galatian church had...

Can you explain the following verse given that you believe OSAS? Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace. "severed from Christ" "fallen from grace" Why does God torture folk by leading them into grace then...

Take note of all Paul's warnings.
