Sounds just like me. JPT

That's right. It's up to us to be dilligent to do these things. JPT

Where are the instructions in this post as to how the Church is supposed to observe the Sabbath? JPT

? I showed you what stumble means from the bible. It's not "slip up". It is willfully departing from Christ, in unbelief will under persecution. No longer believing in Christ. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with...

So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luke 4:16 Does this mean the Church needs to go to a synagogue where Christ is rejected as Messiah, and read on the Sabbath? But when they...

Amen. JPT

Is this the word of the Lord? Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 31:15 This is part of the Sabbath law for those who are under the law of Moses. JPT

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:10-11 Stumble means to depart...

The rapture takes place after the resurrection of the dead in Christ, at His coming. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with...

I wouldn't know, since I haven't seen any scripture from you. Peter teaches us how to make our calling and election sure - But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to...

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. 3 John 11 This does not say what you claim, sir. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4...

I believe Peter points out in his example, that these people were saved and escaped the corruption of the world, then returned to the world and were entangled again. JPT

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith comes to each of us by hearing God speak to us. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the...

I don't supposed to add anything. I was responding to LW97's post that claimed the example given in Peter's teaching were not saved. Here is the scripture from Peter I quoted, to which LW97 claimed the people in the example Peter gave were never saved. For if, after they have escaped the...

I believe the Lord gives a person a chance to repent and confess their sin to be forgiven their sin. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.” Luke 17:4 again And I gave her time to repent of her...

Ok, so what else is required besides believing? JPT

Predestined for purpose not predestined for salvation. There is no other verse in the bible, that will somehow disprove that the lost need salvation. JPT

Not saved as in salvation? Now you are redefining salvation of the lost. Based on the words of the Bible, the lost are sinners in need of repentance for salvation. likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no...

Do the lost sheep need to be saved? JPT

The sheep are saved before they are born? Chapter and verse please. ? Do the lost sheep need to be saved? JPT
