Did he not repent before he was saved?
Go look at his conclusion of what we must believe and practice because we believe in eternal security...2626
Did he not repent before he was saved?
AND your view is where most miss the mark....NONE of us believe that....nor do we practice that....so.....what is your point?
Yes I do. I have sinned. I do still fall. I judge myself (judge yourself lest you be judged) and I turn away from that which displeases the Lord. I repent and ask forgiveness. And God restores.
My leaning is towards His truth.
Now....
If I had a change of mind...and said to myself (that little voice) "Hey, I'm saved. There is NOTHING THAT I CAN DO TO LOSE MY SALVATION....well, then from this point on I can do pretty much whatever I please (Satanism 101 - do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law).
The problem with the false grace doctrine is what Jude warned against.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. [SUP]4 [/SUP]For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God[SUP][b][/SUP] and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now let me ask you a question. If you are once saved always saved, do you need to ask God for forgiveness when you sinned last week?

When people do that - it is a sign of having a carnal mind and not really knowing the love of the Father for them. The answer is to preach the grace of God in Christ because it teaches us how to live godly in this present world.
There is also the discipline of the Lord too but all this has nothing to do with the false doctrine that our Father sends His beloved children to hell after they are saved by grace through faith and are sealed with the Holy Spirit whom Jesus aid will be in you forever. Unless He is now a liar. Eph. 1:13 & John 14:16
This false demonically inspired doctrine that our Father throws His beloved children into hell after Christ comes to live in them that the enemy has put into the mind of man has caused more damage to the body of Christ then any other foul doctrine.
It denies the work of Christ and nullifies the very grace of God we need from operating in our lives like it was meant to. It denies the love, grace and mercy of God in Christ and it denies the whole "why" of the gospel in the first place.
A drowning man needs a Savior - not 5 lessons on how to swim and if you don't learn them and hold onto them - you will drown. A Savior saves people from their sins.
More out of context scriptures applied erroneously
He then goes on to give THREE examples of said teachers
a. WORKS
b. MONEY
c. Disregarding and usurping those who God has called and is using
You really should study more and put things in context and your statement "false grace" borders on ignorant
Let me ask you a question, Do you think when God saved you, He knew about that sin you commited last week. yet saved you anyway?
and if you think you only committed one sin last week.. Well then we have even more issues.
Maybe you should read Jude again. "Contend earnestly for the faith". Why would it be necessary to contend for the faith? Unless it was possible to dis-believe?
Ofcourse he saved a person whilst they were still enemies of God. Now, does God leave the person unchanged? Back to you...
No it doesnt mention works. It mentions lewdness in v4. Cant substitute at will.The contending for the faith is to oppose the false teachers that come on the scene pushing works, usurping the God called men and for financial gain...Jude does not teach the loss of salvation no matter how you twist it
Your scripture handle below your posts shows Romans 8v1. Why did you leave out the second part of this verse?1. I did not ask you that, Please read and answer the question. Again, Did God not save you KNOWING you were going to commit that sin (whatever it was)
2. I already answered your question, And you know it..
No it doesnt mention works. It mentions lewdness in v4. Cant substitute at will.
Your scripture handle below your posts shows Romans 8v1. Why did you leave out the second part of this verse?
Simple. The same thing Jesus said to the woman being accused. Now go and sin no more.
Your skirting the question, why is this? Can you answer my question, Do not expect me to answer any of yours until you answer mine.
Simple. The same thing Jesus said to the woman being accused. Now go and sin no more.
Now, why are you leaving out the second part of Romans 8v1 from your signature?
No it doesnt mention works. It mentions lewdness in v4. Cant substitute at will.
