    The Security Of The Believer

    Yes, but they would be disciplined and rebuked. So it would be unlikely they would stay in those sins. The other question is why Jesus, having died for their sin, and forgiven them..would not forgive those sins? Plus.. most believers go through those sin issues. Not that they are...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Grieved away? A physical possession? He can indeed be grieved by our sin according to the bible and will rebuke us when we do sin if we are converted. But what you are talking about is the Holy Spirit removing His seal from us..His presence in our spirit. That is not in scripture. The...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Again..how does this work with the Holy Spirit actually indwelling a person's spirit? You are putting behavioral requirements on a permanent indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 6 isn't about loss of salvation. It's about Hebrew believers being admonished to leave the elementary...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Okay..but how does that work with the Holy Spirit indwelling a person's spirit? It is an actual physical possession. Not like God is outside of a believer and His presence comes and goes with their level of faith. John 5:24 has a believer possessing eternal life. As does most of the rest of...

    The Security Of The Believer

    What about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit..as an actual physical possession? This isn't dependent on our behaviour after being saved. Getting born into a family.. you have a biological connection..the parents blood. This cannot be undone and has nothing to do with the goodness or badness of...

    The Security Of The Believer

    A New Testament church has distinguishing features that make it one God would call His own, but it isn't by a particular denomination name. A Baptist church could have these features and also a non-denominational church. The first churches were just churches without a type of name. But they...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Weeeell I don't know about there beimg harmony here. A Christian forum and a local NT church are very different. A forum can point people to churches..but it is no church in itself. Anyway that is very creative writing ✍️

    The Security Of The Believer

    Na man..the local New Testament church is the pillar and ground of the truth and where the source of all solid biblical teaching should be from. Forums are useful. I go on this one alot. But the member that really counts is a member of a local NT church.

    The Security Of The Believer

    Maybe Tulipbee has autism. Many people who have autism write with extra detail in a very logical and orderly manner, with alot of information. The concern I have, which I think Magenta also has.. is they are repeating standardised definitions of everything which is the hallmarks of a bot.

    The Security Of The Believer

    I've never heard someone post about Calvinism as a kind of mantra/song like that and it looks very very similar to using chatgp when you type in a few key words and let it put something out. When I was working at a manufacturing place they did just this and created a meaningful song for their...

    Enduring to the end.

    Jesus enables a sinner to believe in Him through drawing the sinner.

    Enduring to the end.

    What is the surrounding context of the verse?

    Enduring to the end.

    The verse 'he who endureth to the end will be saved' is not about receiving eternal salvation. It's deliverance from trials and tribulations during end times. It's the other meaning of 'save' in regards to salvaging life.. rather than the soul.

    What is the Unpardonable Sin

    Wider context man.... what's the surrounding paragraph..people being addressed? Also leaving out the kjv is a bit suspect

    Works and Salvation

    It's a free gift, salvation. Not by works. And it's not owned by us, but by Jesus. 'Work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling '...the context of this is Acts of service to God after having been given eternal life. It is the salvation of life..not the spirit. It's a salvaged...
