    Jesus called false teachers/doctrines vipers and other names. I must explain my position on here about how I feel about such. While I hate no human being ever, I do unequivocally despise false teachers, false doctrine, and the twisting of the Word of God. I can care about someone's soul but I...

    Wow, still see a lot of "baiting" in posts from the usual suspects. They hide the baiting under the guise of "they" As for my earlier post about salvation and choice, I stand by it. We have free will to accept the most precious gift of all, the free will to stand by our convictions, and...

    In order to receive that free gift of salvation, I did make a "choice" to accept it and to "believe" in the fact that gift gave me eternal life. God does not make us accept His plan of salavation. God wants us to come to Him, accept His gift and His plan of our "own" free will. My choice was...

    This thread is the only thread I post under. Why? Because it is the most important one to me. Why? Because it shows through posts the most important issue regarding salvation; works or no works. God has a plan. God provided a plan. Man makes it complex and often divisive, false, etc. It...

    I agree. Faith has to play into the equation if one agrees to accept.

    Why would one accept if there was no faith, belief?

    And while we are discussing sins, there are sins of "omission." So don't forget those.

    I believe my eternal salvation was given the instant I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. I believe that salvation was a gift from God which I accepted and it cannot be broken by anything nor anyone. What God has done cannot be undone.

    I have eternal salvation. Not due to anything I did or did not do. The work was done by God. Let me remind you also that to God sin is sin; nothing big or small makes a difference to Him. The consequences of sin is different but to God there is no degree. You have absolutely no security...

    Salvation is a gift from God Almighty and we receive that gift from Jesus Christ. None of us are "owed" it and none of us are "forced" to accept it. Once accepted, it cannot be lost.

    Nope, that is not what the Savior has told us, or what God has told us. No one should knowingly sin but we do sometimes. That sin is to be repented for but that sin does not "erased" our salvation. If that were the case, there is no security in the gift of salvation. No security because we...

    Are you without sin? Is anyone saved without sin? Do you believe in saved and being sinless? And who that is saved believes they can sin and it won't affect the heart of the Lord? Also, do you believe not accepting eternal salvation from our Lord and Savior as a once and for all event is...

    No it is NOT Christ-like to teach false doctrine, to act superior than others, to show arrogance towards others and most importantly, it is not godly to twist words of God. If there is a witch in the midst, I'll not succumb.

    BTW, I do not "claim" to be a Christian. I am. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. He has given me the gift of eternal life and I a sinner am so thankful. All glory and honor and praise goes to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    To make my position on this site clear, I will refute what is posted falsely against the Word of God. One can call that mud slinging, whatever. God's Word will stand as is but His Words must never be used for falsehoods.
