Yes,, But we have ALL DONE THESE THINGS have we not?
What red tent and john do not realise is something separates us from others who continue to do those things. that is the point I am trying to make.
Again, if you had been around and KNOW what they teach, you would understand this.
lol. No maam. that is not the case. And I am not trying to be rude, or disrespectful. Just trying to show you what I see.
The case is I continue to sin, we ALL DO. the more mature in Christ we become, the more sinfull we realise we are (thats why the law CONTINUES to be the schoolmaster.
If we focus on just these few sins, we will never see our true nature, and never be able to grow.
A christian who gets drunk will not realise the true blessings God has to bestow on him, And will miss out on alot of Gods blessing. does that mean that Christian is not saved because he struggles with a sin? Don't we ALL struggle with certain sins?
If struggling with a sin is causes out ticket to heaven to be voided. God is a liar. And we are not under grace, but under law.
You can count me in with Paul...
1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Co 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Co 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1Co 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
They teach we can void salvation. Thus they teach a gospel which is not from God. but is based on mans ability to work.
Paul thought he could...
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I
might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Hmmm, future tense here.
Php 3:12
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Pretty iffy comment here for a sure thing, wouldn't you say?
Php 3:13 Brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
If Paul didn't think he had already arrived, perhaps I shouldn't either.
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
So, I think I will continue to "press forward" also, that I amight attain to the prize or as Paul said...
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
