OSAS, When does salvation take place?

That should be a little different then inviting strangers off the streets to come live with you, but relatives can be quite nutty and dangerous as well to your wife and children



That's all biblical. Glad to hear you believe that. How many people have you raised from the dead? Cleansed any leper lately?



Ah, the back peddle to avoid answering question about what you say you believe.



This is true. You got folks like this living with you?



You're in error, again as usual.

Nope. I'm a minor.
But I do know a few. and a few it's a lifestyle choice, because it's cheaper.

Haha. I guess, but you’re just full of piss and vinegar (a mixture of anger/arrogance/inflexibility). You’re crusading on here about losing our salvation unless we strictly follow the Bible. Of course you gonna say, “Oh yeah, what about you?!” I don’t believe the same way. I believe that obedience is important, but I’m not on a crusade and joyfully proclaiming as my life’s platform “Hey everybody! Good news! You’re probably going to Hell unless you follow the Bible to the absolute letter! Cmon, let’s all get behind this! Yay!”

So your life's platform is the opposite, telling everyone that they can disobey the Lord and live in sin and still go to Heaven?
Sounds about right.

Is that what I’m telling them? Haha. No. I am saying that we need to gird up our loins with truth, remind ourselves what God has told us, put on the helmet of salvation and begin pursuing Him. We also need the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What happened with the disciples in the upper room wasn’t just for them, it was for us too. In fact, I believe that we will be as unsound as Peter was until we’ve received it. All the disciples failed Jesus before the upper room experience. After they the received the Holy Spirit, they were fully equipped for ministry, and had a greater power to obey. They had the Holy Spirit giving them power to obey. Paul talks about it in 1 Corinthians 2, describing the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the spirit of the law, not the law itself. This is evidenced by the lives of the disciples before and after the upper room experience. Before, they had no power to obey, after they did, and more.
