Your very insightful.
That person believes and teaches the heresy of OSAS.

One thing I have noticed. It would seem to be the goal of "sign seekers" to destroy the doctrine of God (OSAS) .
Its like they say; "We will do what is required as a sign that proves we are filled with the Holy Spirit". Just keep your eyes open the show will begin filled with many wonderful works . I would offer it seems like a three ring circus making Jesus a circus seal.
John 6:30 They said therefore unto him, What
sign shewest thou then, "that we may see", and
believe thee? what dost thou work?
The word "many" or "as many" interferes with their idea to the kind of
all that is spoken of. All that the father gives they alone
can come.They alone will he not cast out.
To make "as many" as the father gave to the son as the ones that
can come because the father is drawing them and not them drawing the father to no effect as did the apostate Jews who turned things upside down .
Do you have eternal life or is it on hold?.
Christ must do the first works and he promises if he has begun it he will finish it to the end .(Philippians 1:6 )The receiving of our new incorruptible bodies
That's the difficulty with those murmurers of others who they might feel do not deserve the grace of God.
The idea that it is Christ who dwells in every believer working in them with them to both will and do his good pleasure. (imputed righteousness) It would seem to be ignored. It would seem those who insist in offering their good works take out their jealously on a brother or sister who might not have the exact same blessing. This is seeing it is God who does make us differ on from alone another.
John 1:12 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:
Matthew 20:28Even
as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom f
or many.
