Your objection is with the Apostle John, not me. As Christians we will sin less as we grow in grace.

By Grace we are saved by faith alone, BUT the faith that saves is not alone. Discipleship is the evidence of saving faith!

Can we know objectively that a person is a true believer? The Apostle John thought so. A true believer....... 1. Walks in the light 1:7. 2. Keeps His commandments 2:3. 3. Has a Christlike walk 2:6. 4. Loves other Christians. 2:10, 3:14. 5. Practices righteousness. 2:29, 3:7. 6. Does not continue...

Here is the thing. I don't have a dog in this political fight as I am Australian. Having said that, looking from the outside of the USA, things are clearly seen. While US Evangelicals are not backward in speaking against Biden and Harris, speaking against Trump is taboo. From where I stand...

Touched a raw note my friend?

If you are a Christian and vote for Trump then you will answer to God for it!

Acknowledging God does not make a Christian. It is repentance and faith that brings a person into the Kingdom of God. Trump is habitual liar, adulterer etc. He shows no sign of repentance or allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. The sway he has over many Christians is like that of Hitler over...

First John has several tests whereby one can tell if another is a Christian. I think Trump fails on all accounts.

I think you will find that the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God are one and the same thing. The Kingdom is Christ's present reign in the hearts of believers. If you are not in the Kingdom you most certainly are not in the Body of Christ.

It is called Amillennialism.

Fall from grace!

Yes. Disobedient believers have something to worry about according to this verse.

It's the Lord Jesus Christ for me!

There is a third option. The corporate view of election. God chooses those 'in Christ' to be conformed into the image of Christ. Predestination/election has to do with those 'in Christ' ( Eph 1) not the unsaved.

I think you are mistaken. But I am not going to argue the point. Pax.

I agree, there are two baptisms, one WITH the Holy Spirit and another BY the Holy Spirit. I would differ in that the Baptism WITH the Holy Spirit is subsequent to conversion.

Antinomianism my friend, Antinomianism!

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Neither fornicators....nor adulterers.... will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor 6:9,10. NKJV. You can't get around the plain meaning of scripture, a Christian who commits adultery, remains...

So, do you believe that if a Christian walks away from Christ or lives in an adulterous relationship, if he were to die, would still go to Heaven?

The Holy Spirit can be quenched and grieved away by persistent sin and apostasy.
