Your thread seems to be asking about "Once saved always saved." Just forget all the Calvinism and Arminian theologies. The person who has faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement is saved. The person who does not have faith is not saved. That is what the Bible tells us.

Something is not going right here . . . If you truly repented you would not be just keeping on sinning and sinning. I Johne 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.

Amen! This is the best post here on this issue. I could not have said it better. It is absolutely great to be careful at how we present and use the Word of God. But how you post Scripture is not a moral issue. We don't need a list of rules of how to post on this forum. If you don't like...

I agree with what you said above. But that is not at all what the speakers in the video are promoting.

The cross and the atonement made available to all redemption through Jesus Christ. One's sins are forgiven when one believes in and grabs hold of that atonement - Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death - and each and every sin must be paid for. Jesus paid the price and the Father will...

To the poster of this video: Do you believe and promote the content of this video?

This video is absolute heresy. It says salvation is advancing your humanity. You don't need to be born again. you just need to grow up and accept your responsibility. Hell is an invention of the church.

thanks Penned for posting the video - excellent informative watch

Jesus often said, "Come and follow me." But I think being a part of a Bible believing church that together worships God, and fellowships with one another is much needed.

This I like! Being a part of a different kingdom with a view much larger than just this world!

The church I pastor would use the lot in certain situations to ordain a leader/minister. We would typically take a vote of members when we need to ordain a minister. If there is a clear nominee from these votes that person will be ordained. If there are two or more people with identical or...

Yes, indeed. One thing that I often limit God in is thinking that He cannot help me live completely above the power of sin today! Can He? YES

The real issue is not the Bible being removed from public schools: if our country is to have freedom of religion, then our public institutions should not promote one religion over another. The public spaces/institutions should not promote religion, but neither should they keep students/people...

Is there Scripture that says this? Or is this a man-made doctrine based on someone's interpretation of Scripture?

Hence there is no way for me to conscientiously answer the poll with any of your answers . . .

People might put me in either the Arminian or the Molinism camp, though I claim affinity with neither one of those. I think it best not to claim affinity with any manmade doctrinal position. For example, I would say that I definitely believe in the Trinity, but I will not sign my name to some...

There have been a lot of good answers given here: I think one of the core requirements is realizing our need for a Redeemer, for a Friend, and for Master who loves us deeply. Our Western mindset tends to be very individualistic; then then results in personal pride. God resists the proud but...

John 1:12 says - "But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." The phrase "received him" is sometimes taken as a passive reception of Jesus. In actuality, the Greek verb is in the active voice, and I would suggest that we...

Now that is a good question! Biblical belief is not mere intellectual activity - surely it involves the mind and likely starts here, but it needs to go deep into the heart and the desires of the person. I am going to start a separate thread with your question.
