Have I threatened to report anyone?

One has already mentioned a threat to report me. This shows insecurity. This is a kind of calling down a fire upon me to remove me from their presence.

I am secure in my belief and am strong in the Spirit by the grace of God. This is how I can quench the OSAS fiery darts.

I will be here as long as it is God’s will that I be here. Standing for the truth of the Bible.

I never liked this phrase “one saved, always saved”. Do you have agreement with the following: we are saved, we are being saved, we will be saved. ??

The phrase itself, Once Saved Always Saved, is not a problem. The problem is the heretical teaching that has stolen it and gives it a bad name.

If your conscience testified to you by the word of God that you will never be lost I say AMEN! to that. That is a good thing. Just don’t go off the deep end and ignore the consequences of sin.

How does one get their Salvation back if they lose it?
What does one have to do to get it back?

Hi...
How deep does one have to go before Salvation is lost?
And what kind of sin ?

Am not disagreeing at all EG. It’s just my thinking that we can declare what we think is truth all day long, but when presented from the Bible, it should stop all arguments.

I know Paul would not tolerate one mixing the grace of God with law for one second and called them Judiazers.

but....

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:


Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.


Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.


Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.


Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

I did not equate raining fire upon you as trying to get you banned. I thought you meant they probably literally pray for fire.

As far as standing for the Truth of the Bible, Jesus Christ is Truth, and anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

Hebrews 10:26-27.

For starters.

Now read Hebrews 10:39 where we in Christ is being addressed :)...
You do realize the author was speaking to those who were having a hard time leaving their old ways , sacrificing animals?
The author was teaching them that Christ is the last Sacrifice...

Yep. Telling them to make sure their Real faith is in grace not the law

Many people come from a religious background who teaches that their good deeds and traditions are what saves them. And come to our churches. But their true faith never left what they always believed

This is who Is being warned

It teaches no such thing

In Romans 5:20, we read, The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.

Agree ... He absolutely denies OSAS and that Jesus atoned for all sins.

He is adamant only past sins were atoned for by Jesus.... which makes no sense since any sin he commits now he has no means by which to atone for those sins.

Nope you are wrong , and this is one of the Scriptures that many fear because they believe as you do...

Hebrews 10:39 is for believers...
We are not like those who shrink away from the truth , and go back and be under the Law , sacrificing animals for our sins ...
