What scriptures support this claim my friend?
As natural beings we were spiritually dead in sins and the spiritual gospel was foolishness to us and we cannot discern it (1 Cor 2:14). We did not understand the gospel until we were regenerated (Eph 2:5), not before we were regenerated

My friend, that does not mean we are saved, delivered, every time we sin. You are making it so that every time we sin, we become lost again. That is a false teaching my friend.
After we are born again, we still at times sin, Do you agree? Do you think that you are eternally lost every time that you sin? Or maybe you think that you do not sin. We are separated from our fellowship with God until we repent, but not eternally separated.

Taking your go to Scriptures out of context again and again bro. You do not use context therefore your applications are erroneous.

One of your favorite answers I see. Just because you say it does not make it so.

1 Pet 3:21, The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save (is this saving eternal) us. Rev 2:5, talking to the church at Ephesus; Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly, and remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Is this referring to eternal life?
That does not mean they were lost my friend. We, even as Christians, sin. But that does not mean we are lost when we sin.

So, why do you think the phrase "YET DEAD IN SINS" is mentioned in regeneration (Eph 2:5)?
We were dead in sins, I agree with you, so why labor that point my friend? That would be like you saying we were dry before we fell in a creek. Exactly! We were dry before hitting that creek. We were dead before being quickened.

The visible church that Jesus set up goes by many different names in the scriptures. The Kingdom Of God, being one of them. The guy you are referring to probably had shown evidence of been born again, but had never joined the church by being baptized.
No my friend. If he had shown evidence of being born again he would have gave his testimony, in my opinion.

Again, we are regenerated via the word of God my friend.

Yes, it is one of my favorite answers because it's true. I've given you context, you don't like context, you like YOU instead of truth.

We already believe this. We were regenerated by the Spirit upon hearing the Gospel, granted eternal life at that time; 2 Timothy 2:10.

You are missing my message somewhere. When we are born again and sin, we are not lost eternally. We separate ourselves from our good standing with God until we repent, not lost eternally, just lost from his fellowship till we repent. Once saved always saved.

That does not mean we are saved in time again. If that is the case my friend, we would be saved, lost, saved, lost, saved, lost every day of our lives my friend.

2 Tim 2:10 says nothing about hearing the gospel, it says we are in Christ. Eph 2:5 says we are in Christ through regeneration. What is your explanation of 2 Tim 2:13? You make the statement "upon hearing the gospel" making hearing the gospel the reason you are regenerated. That is not what Eph 2:5 says. You are trying to construct the scripture to fit your necessity of believing in order to be regenerated.

Actually you lost your time salvation, and need to get saved all over again, by your own efforts because by your admittance it is received via works. You've said this in the past.

But it sounds awfully sweaty and laborious to me, not at all like the light burden and easy yoke of Christ; Matthew 11:25-30.

Your gospel sounds a lot different than His Gospel bro, but you did refer to it as "my message" so there you go.

You do understand that my stand is that we are never lost eternally, once we have been regenerated. Do you understand what I am saying. We lose our fellowship with God only until we repent, not eternally. And, yes, we lose his fellowship as often as we sin and that can be on a daily basis. In that sense, we are , lost from his fellowship, delivered, lost from his fellowship, delivered, lost from his fellowship, delivered. every day of our lives, if we sin that often. That is why I make the statement that most of the deliverance (salvation) scriptures are pertaining to a timely deliverance (salvation). Anytime you see scripture that includes, repent, confess, believe, accept etc. the scripture is referring to God's regenerated children. These terms are actions that are required by man to be saved which would be a deliverance by man's good works. Timely deliverance (salvation) is accomplished by man's good works, repenting, accepting, confessing etc.

Are you going to give me an explanation of 2 Tim 2:13? Or just ignore it too? Or maybe you can give me an evasive answer.

Man's eternal deliverance is only by the sovereign grace of God, without the help of man.

1 John 1:7
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

There is an old thread revived that asks why Christians are afraid of Yoga.
I think Christians are made afraid of so many things because false teachings make them first believe they're still at risk of dying condemned, even when they think they're redeemed. So they're terrified of anything else that may be in this world, like Yoga, meditation, (Jesus meditated), etc... Because it just compounds the insecurity and the fear Jesus didn't finish it all on the cross.

There was a guy once making his rounds in Bible forums till they all got rid of him. He insisted every time a Christian sinned they were no longer in God's saving grace. So that if they sinned in one moment and died the next they'd go to Hell.
He got that teaching from somewhere. And it was his mission, as he told us, to spread the truth.
He was lying!
Jesus does not have to be re-crucified every time you sin! It is all about the finished work on the cross.
Trust the holy spirit inside you to lead you to all truth. Maybe the reason we don't feel secure is because we're first not sure he's there.


You Can’t Lose Fellowship With God
June 3, 2011The Gospel of Grace
(Used with permission granted 8/2017)

There are many who believe that you have fellowship with God until you sin and that fellowship is broken when you sin. The fellowship is then regained as soon as you confess your sin and ask forgiveness. This is how many people think but they do not realize that this is old covenant thinking.

Let’s look at the old testament for a second. In the old testament it was the blood of bulls and goats that provided temporal and limited righteousness and forgiveness. It was temporal because when sin would happen the process would have to be repeated by the sacrifice of an animal. Can you look at the similarities in what I mentioned above? Many of us today will believe that God will be angry and leave us when we sin and the only way back to Him is through confession and asking of forgiveness. I want to tell you that this thinking is old covenant thinking and not what Christ died for.

As a new covenant believer the blood of Jesus is continual and constant not temporary and limited. Because of Jesus sacrifice on the cross you are never out of fellowship with God and your sins are immediately forgiven and forgotten because they are not seen because of the perfect covering of the lamb’s blood (Christ).

Lets make this perfectly clear:
Jesus does not have to be crucified repeatedly every time you sin. When you continually confess your sin and wait for the answer of forgiveness you are living under the old covenant and crucifying Jesus each time. Jesus died once, and that one death was enough for ALL of our past, present and future sins. You have only one part in the new covenant (which we will talk about tomorrow) and that is calling on the name of Jesus and believing in His finished work. That is it, no more no less.
In the new covenant because of the sacrificed blood of Jesus; when you fail, relationship and fellowship with God are not broken. Why? Because your sins and failures have all been paid for at the cross. How can you ever lose your righteousness in Christ when it is based entirely on His perfect work and not your imperfection?

WHEN YOU FAIL, RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD ARE NOT BROKEN.
“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness… — Daniel 9:24
As a new covenant believer, you are righteous not only until your next sin. You have everlasting righteousness!

Since this is true then it is not of works, it is all God.

The PB fallacy began with thinking faith and repentance are works of man. Their next fallacy was that due to their former error the Gospel can't mean eternal salvation because it cannot be merited. Yet we know faith and repentance are works of God, not man, note Ezekiel 36:27. Then they took places in Scripture where God saved Israel from their enemies, referred to as salvation and conflated it with the eternal salvation via the Gospel.

Voila! a heresy was born.

All you do is repeat yourself while skipping over the fact we've made the same claim of belief. The problem is you think faith and repentance are works of man when they're works of God. That is the basis and foundation of the PB error.
