Hello @Sudakar, I'm not sure what happened with the formatting while I was rushing to meet the 5 minute editing deadline in post #214 above. Sorry about that.

The good news is, I believe that the entire quote is there, even if it looks a little "off" due to the formatting (you are, of course, welcome to see the entire quote at Dr. MacArthur's website. The link I left to it in the same post will take you right there :)).

Regardless of what habits you stop doing your mind is absolutely unchanged with reference to mathew 5:48 before God. Don't deceive yourself and others!!

I don't trust in my ceasing to sin to prove my saving faith. But you trust in in lowering the standard of lordship to suit your sinfulness and lust in order to prove falsely that you have saving faith. That's absurd and hypocrisy.
Nope. Grow up bruh. Grow up.

Works are not necessary for salvation. Works are not necessary for maintaining salvation. What LS avers is that works are an outpouring of salvation.



Non sequitur.
The faith of lordship Salvationists is false faith because it is faith+works rather than "faith alone" in Christ's atonement. So their works which follow their false faith is also false!!

I agree somewhat, but what you are trying to do is unload metanoia.
The faith of lordship Salvationists is false faith because it is faith+works rather than "faith alone" in Christ's atonement. So their works which follow their false faith is also false!!

Nope. You must really love lying, which, by the way, is a sin. So much for you adhering to Matthew 5:48. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Anyway you haven't repented according to mathew 5:48 but according to a standard which you invent subjectively. That's phoney lordship.
Again, why persist in lying? What have you to gain by continually lying? So much for you and Matthew 5:48. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

That's meaningless because you think you have to prove your saving faith by your works! No difference. Its the same as works salvation.
The misery is you can't know you have saving faith till your last breath.

Look at 2 Corinthians 7. Paul tells them that a godly sorrow leads them to repentance. He scolded them in his first letter he wrote to them, of all the chaos there in their church. Abusing the Lord’s table, suing each other, allowing a member to be in their congregation who had his dad‘s wife(hoping it was step mom and not his mother, both are bad, but mother? Ewwwwww!), etc. He commended them in that their repentance brought forth actions to rectify the problems his first letter addressed. True repentance is accompanied by true change of actions.
True repentance is accompanied by true change of actions according to God's standard (Mt5:48) not your self invented subjective arbitrary standard.

Again, why are you living in a world of lies? What do you have to prove by being a perpetual liar?

Assurance of salvation comes not from trusting in one's change of mind but from faith in the unchanging grace of God.
You lack understanding to think my saying coming to believe in the one true God turned my world upside down equates to a mere change of mind.
