I focus on all of God's word which means you have to look at both sides...
If you don't look at both sides you are not qualified to handle others when it comes to their sinful ways, as Apostle Paul looked at it from both sides in all of his teachings.
I am frustrated because I am so saddened that my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ think it is acceptable to talk down and belittle others just because of differences.
Then they get upset when their sinful behaviors are pointed out to them and thus start attacking the person as being judgmental and condemning when actually they out of love are trying to help and correct them.
If the Apostle Paul was alive today walking on this earth a number of people on here would call him a heretic and claim him as judgmental as well. Because Paul would point out how we are walking improperly as he did to Peter and the people in the churches in his epistles.
We are called to focus on God and part of that is placed as overseers of the rest of the flock, Acts 20:28-31 states this !!!
We are not to set back do nothing and let others wollow in their sinful ways.

I do give God the glory all the time for what He has done in and through me, and I believe I have stated that a couple times just in this thread alone today.
Why do claim things on me trying to say I don't do them when I do ???
My focus on sin is to lead and help others out of theirs, not for self, but for God to win another lost sheep back to the Lord.

is there a point your making.
and who is paul talking to in galatians. would that be peter.
Paul Opposes Peter
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?"
point made again next,

The difference is that Paul repented, but that's not a required ingredient for osas
How do you know King Saul is in heaven? Did he repent like David did?
Adolf Hitler believed in Christ and claimed to be a Christian in Mein Kampf, can we assume he's now in the loving arms of the Lord?
"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:23)

I don't recall OSAS folks proclaiming repentance is not a requirement, but I'm open to seeing the validity of your statement. I most certainly do not advocate living with an unrepentant heart.
As far as hitler goes, there's no definitive proof that he was Christian so let's talk about someone who is without a doubt a strong, dedicated Christian who loves the Lord our God with all his being, yet joyfully goes about murdering, thieving and taking part in all other hyperbole means of conduct.

We know he DIDN'T repent.......this is why the Lord took him home.
1 Sam 28~~19“Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!” 20Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

your post 254 which relates to this subject was said by Utah to be a fantastic post. He and grace 770 have liked your posts about this subject.
Did Saul go to heaven when he died? Not according to Jesus:
NO ONE has ever entered heaven except the one who came from heaven, the son of man john3:13
I have to wonder, if the three of you are wrong about this, how much more are you in error about?

He is in heaven now. Old testament saints went to a compartment in hades called paradise. After the death of our great Lord and savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, He had his great ascension and led the saints into Heaven.
Heaven wasn't opened to mankind until a MAN was glorified........the unique person of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eph 4:8~~New American Standard Bible
Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."
