Lets go by Paul for an example he didn't give a specific number. Is Paul ok to quote for you?

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
You are saying that Jesus did not pay for all sins, you just do not want to admit to it, the most heinous and the most horrible sins are paid in full.

You cannot have it both ways.

Or maybe you just don't understand Pauls message
If you think salvation is a revolving door or that it is our human behaviour that keeps us saved you have definitely not understood Paul.

What you preach is control and not grace.

Let me tell you pal....yanking two verses out of the midst of HEBREWS which was written to JEWISH believers that wanted to go back under an inferior way to PROVE or ASK for my view on the foundation of the NEW COVENANT does not qualify as a valid question.......
You haven't got a clue have you. Were the Corinthians also Jewish?


You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.2Cor3:3

Nope, inner fruit produces outer fruit. Working out what God worked in

My daughter had a piano recital when she was nine. Was it perfect? No. Did she sound like Bethoven? NO. Did she play like a piano player that has been playing for decades? No

Was I pleased with her? YOU BET

Was it perfect according to the level she had attained to? pretty much

God is just as pleased with a new believers fruit and works as He is with a mature believer, if they are walking according to what they have received.

You don't need to be saved for years to bear ANY kind of fruit.

Blessings
what fruit did the sower parable mean, if it was only words to describe a spiritual growth , to get in to gods love.
would that include ,you and your daughter.

why is he not please with older believers , how many children did jesus have, if they condemned him for calling god father.
i am very happy you and your daughter , are doing well

Well then I guess we are all doomed.

Unless you have some ego that says you have not envied or been in discord with someone?
These two guys are super duper Christians.......makes me think of the other foolish guy that said that JESUS was going to reference him by his Christian CHAT name to judge all of us by his words.........you got one tanking a sliver of a verse out of PETER to hang on a personal bias opinion that is blatantly false and another one that disregards the inspired word of GOD that proves love is a process of growth and maturity.....

a waste of time

Can't you see the forest for the trees ? ? ? He said, IF YOU LOVE ME, is only true about some one who is BORN AGAIN, because ONLY the one who has the HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE THEM, can LOVE LIKE THAT. Then after you have the HOLY SPIRIT in you, THEN and only THEN can YOU TRULY LOVE GOD with Agape LOVE. Most of us on this thread BELIEVE we can and WILL KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS OUT OF LOVE FOR HIM, and it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION; however, it has everything to do with GOD's LOVE that HE POURED IN US, Rom. 5:5. And when we stumble we confess it as SIN.

WHY!

Read em and WEEP!

2 Timothy 1:9 (HCSB)
9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
YOU BETTER READ A LITTLE CLOSER MY FRIEND..... I AGREE

I WAS TOLD BY ETERNALLY GRATEFUL THAT EVEN IF A PERSON DIDNT LOVE GOD THEY COULD STILL GO TO HEAVEN!!!

WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE EQUIVALENT OF LOVE? CAN A PERSON GO TO HEAVEN WHILE THEY HATE GOD? THIS IS NONSENSE

READ EM AND WEEP!!!!! ARE YOU PLAYING CARDS OR SOMETHING?????

The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:


16 ‘This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.’[b]

17 Then he adds:

‘Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.’[c]

18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. heb10:15-18


The covenant starts when sacrifices for sin are no longer neccessary

You better stop reading the greek, it aint helping you much

I got a clue you quoted HEBREWS......

This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.’[b]

17 Then he adds:

‘Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more. Heb10:16&17

You know what, I almost hope all your pals in this thread agree with you, then we know that as you don't understand what the basis of the new covenant is you won't know much else either

Now i said something in my comment about His work on and since the cross. That was wrong, huh? Or is the sanctification that He does with us after we are saved Him still working in us. I mean He said it is finished. He gets all the glory. He presents us blameless and intercedes for us, and provisions strength and sufficiency but He, NOT us, continues to work in us, right?

Do you understand what I am asking?

It meant fruit of spiritual reproduction. But new believers can do that too.

One sows, one reaps, one plants, one waters...but IT IS ALWAYS GOD that gives the increase.

A five year old child can be part of his or her parents conversion just by saying "daddy (or mommy), will you come to church with me and mommy (or daddy)

So someone who has read the greek and gone to semestas/seminars believes the basis on which the new covenant stands was solely written to Jewish believers that wanted to go back under an inferior way.
This is sad, very sad

Here are the steps to take to go after one of His sheep who has become lost.
  1. Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
2. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’​

3. And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.​

JPT
Someone sinning against you does not equate to that person being lost :unsure::geek:

As you gave dcontroversials post the thumbs up when he stated what is the basis of the new covenant was given to Jews who wanted to go back to an inferior way, I cannot take seriously anything you now write

I contradicted nothing.......and I stand by what I said....if you believe salvation can be lost, your god must be weak, ineffectual or a liar that cannot keep his word.......I see you left off ALL of the referenced truths that I listed...............hilarious
SO IF SOMEONE DOESNT BELIEVE JUST LIKE YOU, ARE YOU DOUBTING THERE SALVATION?

SURELY YOU DONT BELIEVE YOUR GOD IS A WEAK LIAR DO YOU?

IS IT 0SAS SO LONG AS THE PERSON BELIEVES OSAS? DO YOU ASK NEW CONVERTS IN YOUR CHURCH WHEN THEY GET UP FROM THE ALTAR IF THEY BELIEVE JUST LIKE YOU?
