Yep, I've been on the receiving end of that fire. But the question remains DC, if you believe so passionately that you have the truth, why would you not want me to see it? Why would you not want others to see it? Except for a few people here anytime I question OSAS all I get is fire. Do you think that makes me want to learn more? You think I twist the Scripture, I think OSAS is against what the Bible says. You screaming louder than me and being more incensed don't make you right,or me. So to my actual OSAS friends that I have in the real world, we pray for each other. We fellowship with each other. Maybe one day my eyes will be opened to their POV, maybe one day theirs will be to mine. But ripping each other apart does nothing. And it's all I see here in the BDF. I get you're a son of thunder, but once in a while we need to be gentle as doves. It can't be full blast all the time. Again everyone here believes they have the truth, we can't all be right. So then we look to the Word. If people haven't "matured spiritually" as much as you have why would you not have patience with them? There is a difference between people honestly not knowing the truth about certain things and those deliberately trying to twist the Gospel for their own gain. I have the discernment to know the difference, do you?
On this subject, in many ways I am OSAS, in my personal relationship with Jesus I can never see me
walking away. I have security in the cross and His love that blows my mind, that has moulded all I
am and how I spend my time.
I have to admit though friends who seemed to come to faith, who worshipped in the same fellowships
and said the same things are now not walking with the Lord. I can neither say they are saved or not,
that is in the Lords hands.
To say people who hate God where once they loved Him, are now forced or changed into loving obedient
child of God, is to me a denial of life, free will, salvation, and Gods word. It is a type of universalism which
leads to unreality about evil and sin, and justifies evil behaviour despite faith, and in fellowships there
is no correction or desire to walk righteously. Now drug addicts take this teaching and then say they
ok saved yet are dying, literally until they truly repent and find salvation and new life with victory.
One such lady testified to this in her life. Another, who is a sweet caring individual to whom the gospel
is more like a change of dresses, testifies that a change of mind is salvation reality, and to suggest true
life repentance and change is a lie of hypocrites.
Now for me to hold this place both DC and EG condemn me as evil, a sinner, unrepentant and leading others
to hell. But for the reasons above I can never compromise on this issue, because it is about who are we
in reality and as believers and what salvation truly is in the elect. And sadly I have to conclude false
prophets such as these are bad trees with bad fruit as reflected in the threads and hard hearted words
used constantly and with intent to harm. I see no resolution to this, because in truth this is a Kingdom
issue, and as such transcends my sharing. God bless you
