John 10:4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

John 10:14
I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,

John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

Our LORD Jesus knows who are His...

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

We are His sheep , protected from the wolves , they try to so hard to put fear into us by their losable salvation , but our Lord and Savior says " NO , THEY ARE MINE , My Father gave them to Me \:)/.

Had to edit , praise God...xox...

Amen sister! Praise the Lord! :) - (Psalm 37:28; John 10:27-28; Romans 8:30; Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:30; Philippians 1:6; Jude 1:1 etc..) Going through life on that emotional ride of fear and bondage to IN-security is no way to live the Christian life. :cautious:

I used to ride that emotional, insecure wave, then one day I read John 14 and my eyes and heart were opened to the glorious Truth of God’s love, peace and security.

OSAS is false doctrine.

And you... He has now reconciled in His body of flesh by His death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before Him, PROVIDED THAT YOU CONTINUE IN THE FAITH..

-Col 21
Grade Eight Grammar:

So tells us what is the subject of this sentence?

Is it salvation?

NO, holy and blameless is not a reference to salvation.

So what is the subject?

Maintaining hope so that one is spurred towards sanctification.

Exactly

End of lesson.

Read and study the whole book first.
The whole Bible as well, so we get a good balanced understanding instead of picking and choosing what you like. Those scriptures need to be included with the rest of your theology, instead of dismissing them.

I find this pretty funny that you would write this to @dcontroversal

On second, thought more patronizing and condescending than funny.
It is interesting that the person you disagree with every single time he writes anything on here was told by his family that last night at family bible study he had the glory of God brightly shining on his face.

My rod buds, flourishes and produces almonds. But! (And this is a big but,) I could still wind up in Hell per Matthew 7 and I'm honest enough, and have received enough grace, to say that.

But you deny His promises, and essentially His good news.
On the pulpit is a banner with a square in the middle and inside the square is the number 4. That number is significant. Around the four edges it says Jesus Christ, Saviour, Healer, Baptiser, and Coming King.

Please do not tell me I deny the good news of Jesus. Not only that, it is a personal insult as well. I feel like reporting you for saying that.

That's what I said.
Only those who believe will never lose their salvation.
Those who stop believing will lose their salvation.
Truly this is one of the most anti-truth statements if there ever was one.

I believe that God did not take away my choice to trust, or not trust in Christ.
Interesting, you put place the saving power IN your CHOICE.

False once again.

:D

Glory of God shining brightly on your face.....wow another Moses?

Not sure which part you are alluding to, but this is what I read.... and by the way Grace never contradicts Truth

‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Please explain this further. What does the number 4 stand for here? Sounds interesting.

Have you insulted me yes...many times yes... did I report no.

The Gospel is eternally saved, do you understand this? There is no good news otherwise.

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
John 10:28

And do not hand me that we can leave, you were not saved by your volition, therefore your volition has no place within salvation.

I would be very surprised if you did not already know seeing as your sister was a moderator and you are very familiar with the different churches. So you tell me what the number 4 means.

If she knew why would she ask you?

You have me mixed up with someone else. My sister has never been a moderator. I don't understand the picture completely.
