In Post 1089 I said this:
Question: Please define salvation (for those holding to OSAS).
1. What is the way of salvation? Acts 16:17
2. What does Romans 13:11 mean when Paul tells Christians in Rome that salvation is nearer than when we believed?
3. Why does Paul say that he is afflicted for the salvation of the Corinthian believers? 2Corinthians 1:6
4. Why does Paul tell the Corinthian believers that he caused them godly sorrow because godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation if they are already saved? 2Corinthians 7:10
5. Why does Paul say that the persecution he is seeing "shall turn to his salvation" through the prayer of the Philippians? Philippians 1:19.
6. Why does Paul tell the believers to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" Philippians 2:12.
7. What is the hope of salvation 1Thessalonians 5:8?
8. Why does Paul say that he endures all things for the elect's sake so that he might obtain salvation? 2Timothy 2:10
9. What does "heir of salvation" mean? Hebrews 1:14
10. Why is the Lord's second coming referred to as our salvation? Hebrews 9:28
Yes, You said these references to salvation don't matter. However, they are all included in the use of salvation in the first post.
lol
We are saved
We are being saved
We will e saved.
You want to make the final salvation as something we earn. not something we already have
then you claim to me you are not teaching works did you not?
The way to salvation is clear - He who believes is not condemned, he who does not believe is condemned already. whoever calls on the name of the lord will be saved. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but by his mercy he saved ( a completed at) us
in Romans 13: 11 paul is speaking of our future ressurection. Not our past salvation ( we will be saved) Jesus said our salvation is complete. we will never perish, but we have eternal life.. that eternal life in eternity is what we are promised and given
1 cor is written to the church at corinth. nothing in the passage says they are all saved.. we are foolish to think everyone that attands any church service is saved
Paul is not talking about his eternal salvation in phillipians, how can someone else affect my or anyone elses salvation. are you serious??
as for work out YOUR SAlVATION. the salvation IS YOURS Paul did not say work to RECIEVE SALVATION, he said work out the salvation that is in you. We better all do this, this is how we are sanctified, and how our word is not rejected because we have put out our own light with sin How can we bear fruit is we are seen as hypocrites>
hope of salvation. Again we WILL BE SAVED. It is wht our faith is in. Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR the evidence of things not seen. If we have no hope of eternal life, which God who can not lie, nd primised before time began, We have no faith. Its why John said we can know we have it. so we can continue in the hope of our faith. Its not knowing we have it that causes us to lose hope. I have witnessed this so many times in the last 40 years. so many people who walked away becase they did not have hope. because they trusted themselves and not God
Paul did not endure all things so HE could be saved, He did it so THEY might be saved
2Tim 2: Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the [c]elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
As Gods children, by which we were empowered through ONLY through believe (john 1) we are fellow heirs with him, it means what he was given we will share in.
The lords second comming is where our salvation, which was already GIVEN will be recieved. It does not negate the fact that our salvation is not complete.. We HAVE BEEN SAVED
