Most of who claim OSAS BELIEVERS are literally Born Again believers. MOST of us have SURRENDERED to CHRIST as LORD of our LIVES. YET again you spew lies about our BELIEFS. VERY FEW OSAS are anywhere's close being mondern day Pharisees. Pharisees only believe in the HEAD, while most of us UNDERSTAND it has to be in OUR HEARTS (coequals to the Human Spirit), or it equals NON-SAVED. You really have Fallen for a BIG BUNCH OF HOGWASH about our Beliefs, haven't you ? ? ?
A license prevents punishment for doing that which would otherwise incriminate the unlicensed.

OSAS salvation prevents punishment for doing that which would otherwise incriminate the unsaved.

Therefore, OSAS is a false doctrine which claims salvation is a license to commit the same iniquity for which impenitent sinners will be punished.

and i point this out again- same man, same letter- " and this is His command, to believe in the name of the Son and love one another".

can't just cherry pick verses and present them as stand alone.
Cherry pick? It’s not I doing that.

I refrain from deliberate known sin because I love Jesus and my neighbor, therefore I wish to please my Lord and help my neighbor find eternal life.

OSAS makes excuses for willfully choosing to indulge the pleasures of sin, while presumptuously claiming the blood of Jesus covers it. It doesn’t cover the Unpardonable Sin...which is stubborn refusal to repent of iniquity - whatever it may be - until results loss the ability to repent of it is lost, and God can’t pardon that for which we don’t ask it.

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is telling the HS to leave you alone when He tries to help you overcome temptation until the spiritual callous developing in your ear finally renders you incapable of hearing Him.

Amen - and they evidence that surrender by keeping the law of God :)

May I answer for her. NOT EXACTLY, you still got it all WRONG. We LOVE HIM ENOUGH with AGAPE LOVE, that we will WANT to do what Pleases HIM. There is NO SUCH THING as surrender by keeping the Law of GOD.

Galatians 3:13 (HCSB) 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.

Acts 13:38-39 (ESV) 38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.


Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NJB)
8 Because it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith; not by anything of your own, but by a gift from God;
9 not by anything that you have done, so that nobody can claim the credit.


It has NEVER been that we DO the deeds in the Law.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WHY WE WANT TO DO THE DEEDS IN THE LAW.

IF IT IS NOT BECAUSE WE AGAPE LOVE GOD AND THE BRETHREN, IT IS FILTHY RAGS.

Is that plain enought English for you to undestand ? ? ?

Revelation 2:23 (ESV)
23 . . . And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.

{HE searches for the MOTIVE behind the DEEDS !}

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN the difference between SAVED, and Filthy Rags.

1 Chronicles 28:9 (ESV)
9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

Denying the work of the Holy Spirit of God is the unpardonable sin...

Therefore, OSAS is a false doctrine which claims salvation is a license to commit the same iniquity for which impenitent sinners will be punished.
The lord chastens who he is.

OSAS does not deny or reject this.

Once again, You slander people with a false truth

people like p 777 think that sin is things like getting drunk, stealing, telling obvious lies, things like that,

i guess he never meditated on what James said- to him who knows to do good, and does not do so, to him it is sin".

that puts sin on a whole another level....

a. All Jews who believe the Gospel are saved the same as Gentiles who believe the Gospel.

b. I believe that scripture teaches that God will spiritually revive Israel the nation.
a is correct, since Israel has fallen, everyone is uncircumcised in the eyes of God, so Jews and gentiles who believed in Paul's gospel of grace, after Israel has fallen, are saved thru the Body of Christ (Romans 11:11).

b is also correct, Israel the nation will have their sins forgiven when Christ returns for them (Romans 11:25-27). Israel includes the 12, OT saints like David, Samuel etc.

So we are saying the same thing, in different ways.

You can't keep the law, Its impossible. As jesus said, there is only one Good and that is God.

While you phony person is having sex with his neighbors wife. You have your own besetting sin. Yet here you are like the pharisee pumping your chest how your not like the sinner.

I pray you repent soon and see yourself as God sees you. Stop judging others. and take care of your own sin.
You are carrying this to far.....trying to live righteously is not the same as saying ... someone is perfect.
Why do you take it in that direction. Stay with the point rather than apply transference.

You must be a Hagee watcher.
I am not aware of scripture which gives the un-believing, un-repented, un-acceptance of Christ as our Savior....Jews .....forgiveness. Please show scripture.
Please don't mix the 12000 from each of the 12 tribes which God saves.....(during the trib. period) because why can't they be Christian Hebrews.

At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus would return for Israel, and all those who belong to Israel at that time will believe in Christ, and God will forgive the nation's sins collectively, as promised in the New Covenant.

Why do you continue to say that...you know no one is perfect. Isn't that a default position that needs no repeating.

YOU NEVER HAVE FINISHED ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS.

You only answered ONE of the FOUR Questions that I asked.

NOW PLEASE ANSWER THE REST.

Do you believe in the HOLY TRINITY ?
And what Denomination do you call HOME ?
And what is New Age Teaching in YOUR MIND ?
