I am afraid that it is you that dose not understand that eternal salvation was accomplished by Christ's death on the cross. Period! Eternal salvation was finished on the cross for all of those that his Father gave him, (John 6:37-39) and there will be no other offering for mankind to accept.

Ezekiel 36:26 explains what God does when he quickens a person to be born again, saying "a new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you" 1 Cor 2:14 states that the natural ma receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither...

Saul, when persecuting the church, said he did it "in all good conscience", thinking he was doing God's will, which tells me that he had already been born again. Saul, who became Paul, when struck by the bright light was told by God that it was hard for Saul to "kick against the pricks"...

The rest of the chapter doesn't seem to explain away verses 26 through 29. If you believe these verses are a fatalistic view, why did God inspire them to be in his words of the bible?

Concerning Acts 2 - When a person is born again, spiritually, God exchanges their heart of stone to a heart of flesh (Ezk 36:26) that can be "pricked" to feel guilty of breaking God's law, indicating that they were already born again. (Act 2:37-38) (Psalms 73:21). Verse 38 - Peter instructed...

Sense you lead discussion, and are discussing John chapter 10, How do you interpret verses 26-29?

If we do not consider harmonizing the scriptures, we will not be able to interpret them, by rightly dividing the word of God. The natural man, according to 1 Cor 2:14, will not, and indeed, can not, have faith in the things of the Spirit. Only those that have been born again spiritually...

Hearing and believing is not the cause of eternal salvation=deliverance, but it is the cause, of those who have already been promised of an inheritance of heaven ((Heb 9:15), to be delivered=saved, as they sojourn here on earth, when they come unto a knowledge of the truth (Rom 10:1-3).

The promise is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which is a quickening Spirit. Ephesians 2 explains the new birth. Verse 5 says "even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ". Acts 2:38 Peter says "repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus...

If you don;t mind, let me start in Romans 10:9-10; In verse 9, the word "saved" = "delivered" according to Strong's concordance of the Greek word "saved". Those that God gave to Jesus to redeem them from their sins were promised eternal salvation=deliverance. Those that have that promise...

I am with you. Scripture proves scripture, and if we reference other peoples input it, sometimes, will distort the truth.

You have changed the wording of John 3:16, by changing the word "beleiveth" to "will believe". If a person believes in spiritual things, they have already been born spiritually. Believing in spiritual things is not something that the natural man, before he has been born again will believe in...

Correcting you. You have miss-interpreting the scriptures to make them teach eternal deliverance by good works.

You are ignoring 1 Cor 2:14, The natural man, as well as those who have been born again, have the freedom to choose how they want to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. The difference in the two, is that the natural man will not, and indeed can not, choose the things of a spiritual...

The Philippians letter was written to all the saints in Christ Jesus. The "every knee, and every tongue" in verse 10 & 11 has reference to all the saints in Christ Jesus. Concerning Titus, Paul left Titus in the church at Crete to ordain elders in the church that they may, by sound doctrine...

Confessing and believing, in spiritual things is not the works of the natural man, according to 1 Cor 2:14, who cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God, thinking them to be foolishness. Confessing and believing are limited to those who have already been born again.

"the kingdom of heaven" is one of many names of the the visible church that Jesus established. Others are; the church of Christ, the church of God, the kingdom of God, the church in the wilderness, the little flock, Zion, the new Jerusalem, and more. According to the visible church...

This verse is teaching that there is a deliverance, here on earth for God's elect children, when they believe in their, changed, heart (Ezk 36:26) that God hath raised Jesus from the dead. Saved, according to Strong's concordance translation, means "delivered". There is a deliverance, here...

All of your thoughts in your post are reflecting the person that has already been born again spiritually, and not the natural man that has not been born again.

God's elect is the church, which is referred to by many names in the scriptures, such as; The kingdom of God, the little flock, the church in the wilderness, Zion, the kingdom of heaven, the church of Christ, new Jerusalem, the bride of Christ, etc The early saints, starting with John the...
