Common Ground between the OSAS believers and Non believers of OSAS, Let me start by saying that I believe Jesus is the one that saved me , and I believe in Jesus for my salvation. Since I have been in here, there have been alot of debates, discussions and and even down right judging and comdemnations poured out, over the subject: was the works of Christ to the Cross and on the Cross good enough for our salvation? However I have been praying Alot about this, studying alot on this. I have had alot of friends and people leave Church over this one topic. There are several sets of verses, that I would like to share as to maybe having a common ground where that we can come together ( both sides ) and pray for one another instead of casting each other into hell. The first set of verses are
Mr 9:38And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.Mr 9:39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.Mr 9:40For he that is not against us is on our part.
I believe that boths sides here are for God. the next verses are
Ac 5:38And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:Ac 5:39But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Now I know that there will be some on both sides that will dare say, that the other side is not of God . But in saying this we would only show our ignorance of the Scriptures, For the common Ground that I am lead to share with both sides at this time is this:
1jo 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.1jo 4:2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:1jo 4:3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.1jo 4:4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Will anyone meet me on this Ground that even though I believe OSAS. I confess to all who will hear me at this time That I believe that Jesus Christ has came in the flesh. I feel it is important for this common ground. For how many lost souls have came into this forum hunting for answers on how to found God, His mercy and Grace, only to go away empty because of the confusion amongst God's own children.
Lu 23:34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Father, help us as we help build your Knigdom, help us love one another, help us hate evil, and help us Lord to know the difference. In Jesus sweet name I pray, Amen.
