It’s us by the Spirit obeying the truth. 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8 again...

I’m still trying to get the concept of becoming lost across to people. For a person to become lost, they first must be “found”, having belonged to the Lord. Like the examples Jesus so plainly taught us. Lost sheep first belonged to the shepherd. Lost coin first belonged to the woman...

Maybe we could define what the biblical word believes means. If the Lord told you not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and Satan told you, you could, so you ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Which one did your action tells us you believe, God or...

Can you copy and paste from any of my posts where I stated a person must “maintain belief perfectly”. JPT

I don’t find all of your complicated questions in the Bible. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1 John 3:24 JPT

I see, so you deny believing is required for salvation. This explains a lot. JPT

The is only one Gospel. The Gospel of the kingdom of God. The Gospel of God’s grace. JPT

The context is plainly departing from Christ while under persecution. The context is to continue to believe, not work for our salvation. It would be nice if you at least understood the topic of discussion before you set out to argue against it. Believe is the condition for salvation...

That is what we are commanded to do, but not everyone will do this. Here are some more things John commands us to do - 4 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 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world...

Again, the parable of the sower is all about salvation. Your attempt to explain it away is noted. All anyone has to do is read what Jesus said. 11 “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the...

The parable of the Sower is all about salvation. Denying what the scripture so plainly says, only exposes your darkened philosophy which can not grasp the simple and plain truth that Jesus taught. Denying that Jesus taught the principle of receiving salvation by believing the Gospel is...

No strecth, just biblical fact. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us...

Could you please provide the scripture for your statement so we all can discuss it. JPT

The parable of the sower has everything to do with salvation. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with...

Actually the scriptures are clear and is not called backsliding. It's the willful act of renouncing, departing or disconnecting from Christ because of persecution. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe...

Because that is what the OSAS doctrine promotes. Do you believe if a person believes for a while then turns away from Christ, is still saved? JPT

Those who believe for a while are saved for a while. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Luke 8:13 JPT

Those who promote OSAS, claim that a person does not need to continue to believe, [trust and commit to obey Christ] in order to receive eternal life, because once they are saved, they are always saved. JPT

19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth James is...

We keep trusting in Him! OSAS teaches that we no longer have to believe, trust or be committed to Him, yet somehow remain saved. You got it backwards. JPT
