    Saved by faith alone?

    eternal security is conditional. There is an eternal "if" in every consideration of eternal security. "If we walk in the light . . . the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7. "If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall...

    Saved by faith alone?

    In my words... to be truly sorry, and to turn from your sin. This is off Google and I agree with it... Repentance is reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past or present wrongdoings, which is accompanied by commitment to and actual actions that show and prove a change...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Those who do not endure to the end will have their names blotted out of the book of life. Advocates of eternal security deny it could ever happen, but read the frightening possibility for yourself in Revelation 3:5, "He that overcometh . . . I will not blot out his name out of the book of life."...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Once saved doesn't mean your always saved. Continued forgiveness is conditional for the believer. The parable is found in Matthew 18:21-35, and revolves around the forgiveness of God. A certain king responded to the pleas of his servant and forgave him a large debt. That servant went out and...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Nowhere in the Bible is entrance into God's kingdom tied to a momentary - or even temporary - faith experience of the past. Why did Satan choose to rebel? We might not understand why people choose what they do, but there is a battle for our souls and satan would not fight if there is no chance...

    Saved by faith alone?

    I'm not claiming to be without sin I'm claiming that by faith we can overcome sin. One at a time we can grow and become more and more like Jesus. This is called sanctification by faith. But if a say I can't, and say it's too hard or it's not possible, it will never happen. Have faith 🙏

    Saved by faith alone?

    Because you believe we cannot choose to be lost, and once saved always saved, we have different understandings of judgement. Which involves justification by faith. We are born sinners and have no choice about the human nature, but we do have a choice about salvation. Can a saved person...

    Saved by faith alone?

    It's a way of saying we can do the impossible by faith in Jesus. By faith we can overcome sin in our lives. By faith, live like Jesus. But people use excuses to say we can't.. they just lack faith. Walking on water is an illustration of faith and sinking is an illustration of doubt.

    Saved by faith alone?

    So it is a good thing to promote works... walking on water, and doing God's will, if it is done because you believe in promoting God's ability to save us by faith, from sinning. glorifying God. Uplifting the promises of God 1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Agree that only Jesus is good enough. But do you keep using this as an excuse? We have failed. And it is impossible to save ourselves. But Jesus walked on water, which is a miracle, We can believe that it is impossible for us to walk on water, OR, we can by faith believe and walk on water...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Another good illustration of faith and works is .... When we are in the middle of an ocean surrounded by water and sin, troubles and problems. Christ comes to us walking on the water. It is impossible to walk on water .. But not for Jesus. We want to be close to Jesus but water and sin...

    Saved by faith alone?

    An interesting conversation between the Jews and Jesus. Read it in context.... But the point that Jesus highlighted is that if we are committing sin we are a servent of sin. We are in bondage to sin if we can't become free of it. Joh 8:32-36 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth...

    Saved by faith alone?

    A question?? Do you think we can have total victory over sin? All have sinned. We are saved by faith alone. Christ came to save us from sin, not to save us in sin.

    The law is central to both. The difference is that in the new, God said He will write it on in our hearts and minds. Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their...

    In what way do you believe God specifically shows his love for unrepentant sinners who are in hell?

    2Th 1:8-9 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; "Everlasting destruction"... Is it being alive...

    In what way do you believe God specifically shows his love for unrepentant sinners who are in hell?

    The use of eternal and for ever, and everlasting. "eternal" "everlasting" which are used to describe the fires of hell? If I read it as it is = confusion and contradiction of other bible verses... There is absolutely no confusion or contradiction when we allow the Bible to supply its own...
