Welcome aboard CC John :) Nice to see you getting into a discussion right from the start.. The Gospel = Good News The Good News is that the LORD Jesus was made manafest in the flesh and paid the penalty that was upon sinnners like me and because Jesus died for me and i believe He died for me...

Yes Salvation is a free gift from a Loving LORD who was willing to suffer death to pay the penalty for the sins of those who loved the truth.. But like any gift it must be accepted by the one who is being offered the gift... People must believe Jesus people must trust in the gift to receive...

A person cannot save themselves.. Jesus saves.. But one must believe Jesus and trust in His atonement to be saved and persist in believing till the day they die. That has not changed over the past 2000 years and will not be changing any time soon..

Yes we should avoid jargon because different Christian denominations have different definitons for those terms.. For instance a Jehovah's witness will use the same terms that a baptist will use all derived from the Bible and they will have different ideas what those terms mean.. So again it is...

Yes i use a KJV Bible.. I quote it when posting here on this CC Forum :) .. I cannot see how the verses you post have any effect on my conclusions in regard to this topic..

The example you gave is a good example of apostasy.. pushing a doctrine that states that a sin is not a sin ( like homosexual behavior ) will cause a homosexual who embraces that doctrine of demons to stop acknowledging their sin as sin to God and if forgiveness is not sought by a sinner then...

If a person remains a Christian nothing can separate them from the Love of God in Jesus Christ.. In a way God loves everyone.. No matter if they believe or Not because God is perfect.. But yeah to receive the full benefits from Gods love ( salvation ) one must love God.. It takes two to have a...

I believe that will be the main deception in the end times just before the return of Jesus.. The anti-christ will claim to be God on earth.. That is revealed in the book of Revelation.. Now who would the anti-christ masquerade as to pull off this great deception? Well The LORD Jesus of course..

The Elect are the Elect because God foreknows that they will both believe Jesus and trust in His atonement and persist in the faith unto their deaths.. A person can believe for a time but that does not make them part of the Elect.. Only those who keep the faith till their deaths ( Or rapture...

We shall have to agree to disagree on this one PennEd.. I can only interpret Clean escaped and by the knowledge of the LORD Jesus to mean that person was indeed saved.. But later turned away from the truth that saved and like the expression says.. They returned to the worldly vomit like a dog..

Plucking out implies a third party doing it... Like satan plucking you out.. The scriptures are stating no one else can pluck you out..

You're using a few religous jargon terms here "" Circuncision of Christ"" and ""Curse of the Lord"" It's best to try and speak using plain speech sometimes because often religious jargon means one thing to one person and means something different to another person.. I am saying that a person...

They where saved because as it says in the passage They where once clean escaped.. {18} For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

By coming to disbelieve Jesus.. By no longer having faith that the Atonement of Jesus covers one's sins.. No one can pluck you from the Lords Hand.. But You.. Yourself can cast away your salvation by rejecting the things that once had you saved..

You are posting a verse in isolation.. You cannot build your View of the Word of God based on isolated verses.. you need to read things in context.. which means finding out where this passage starts and reading the entire portion of scripture:: In context::: (2 Peter 2:17-22) "These are wells...
