Not By Works

How do you think this takes place? Automatically?

You may repeat that falsity as often as you wish as pertains to your errant insistence that OSAS is rooted in what Calvin taught. You are wrong. You will always be wrong. Why you insist on giving John Calvin credit for what Christ accomplished at the cross is your burden as you repeat the blasphemy that you insist as true. Perhaps you should investigate Calvinism before making such false claims as that.

Every Christian knows just in reading the Gospels that eternal irrevocable grace and Salvation are of Christ! Christ preceded John Calvin's cult. If you are actually a member, since you insist on the errant proclamation that OSAS is rooted in Calvin's teachings, leave while you may still be saved by the truth of God in Christ.

Judges. Would you mind if I ask you what type of church you go to? I’m a southern Baptist myself

You know.....I have always judged the gospel that people peddle and or promote by what THEY say about scripture which is BIBLICAL.......but when ONE openly lies about a member of 6 years and states that they WANT THEIR sin and to live in SIN when they have NEVER said that or implied that, but only quoted scripture like 1st John......IMO they should be banned...........it was an open attack on my character, it maligned my character and it was a flat accusatory false lying attack on me personally!

AMEN.......and they for sure are standing against the truth........

AND one may have nothing but works of wood, hay and stubble or be like the Corinthian brother cut loose for the destruction of the flesh............the bible makes it clear......notice that BOTH of the following are IN THE KINGDOM!!

Whoever then shall break one of the least of these commandments and shall teach others the same, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever shall keep and shall teach them, he will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens

His whole premise is false because it is based upon a self saving, losable, self maintained false salvation viewed from distorted context(s), skewed scripture and not the faith and or hope the bible sets forth.......

They all do this and then like yesterday, accuse us of loving sin and wanting to live in sin <----THE SAME thing they (false teachers) accused Paul of in his day.....<----that right there tells me who is correct and who is not....WE incessantly point to JESUS, the CROSS, HIS power, promises, faith etc......and they POINT to SELF and accuse us of wanting to live in SIN because we are eternally secure in CHRIST.....speaks VOLUMES!!

Tell us ALL.....who does God chasten and WHY?

Then wrap your head around the words...

IRREVOCABLE
LOSE NOTHING
KEPT by HIS POWER
ETERNAL
EVERLASTING
SEALED UNTO
HE ABIDES FAITHFUL
WHATSOVEVER GOD DOES is EVERLASTING
DOES NOT SIN
JUSTIFIED
IT IS FINISHED
SAVED
KEEP

JUST to name a few!!!!!

Do you understand CONTEXT.....obviously not!

They absolutely cannot grasp the concept of chastisement and who God chastens or why.........

And death is sometimes the result. It’s like God saying, “let me get you up here before you cause anymore damage.”

Yes, cut loose for destruction of the flesh so that the spirit might be saved.

Also, excommunication is done with the intent of disciplining an errant brother with the hope he will eventually turn and be restored to full fellowship

And also to protect the rest of the members of the local body

God chastens His children.

A person who is born of God desires holiness and seeks to be pure as He is pure, yet no one is so sanctified to where there is not a continual daily battle with the flesh and even failings.

According to James, some are even double minded, ( and called to get it right)

Yet sin is a grief and an enemy to us, not a pleasure and a friend, as we are accused of making it

Lets get thru these one by one:

IRREVOCABLE (Unless revoked)
LOSE NOTHING (Unless some folks are lost)
KEPT by HIS POWER (Unless you dont keep yourself in yuor own power)
ETERNAL (we'll see about that)
EVERLASTING (Ditto)
SEALED UNTO (unsealed even though there is no verses of unsealed)
HE ABIDES FAITHFUL (unless you are unfaithful even if there is a verse that says otherwise dont matter)
WHATSOVEVER GOD DOES is EVERLASTING (unless what He does is un-everlasting)
DOES NOT SIN (or sins)
JUSTIFIED (for now.....)
IT IS FINISHED (it aint over until its done)
SAVED (for now....)
KEEP (yeah thats right you better keep the commandments OR ELSE)


There we go. I got that data from the Uncertainty Bible translation society. Its translated from the greek text called Textus Decepticus

See, Nothing but BAD FRUIT. Here are the Primary VERSES that teach OSAS to US Born Again Believers:

5 He saved us— not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 5:8-11 (HCSB)
8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
9 Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, ⌊then how⌋ much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have now received this reconciliation through Him.

1 Corinthians 15:10 (HCSB)

5 You are being protected by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Romans 11:6 (NASB)

Ephesians 1:11-14 (HCSB)

12 so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.
13 When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
14 He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory.

2 because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever.

🕆

There is a reason why you think this is nothing but Foolishness:

1 Corinthians 2:12-14 (NIV)
12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Amen....God only whips CHILDEREN that are disobedient....he does not cast them away.....or yank their salvation....

Key word....fellowship.....to restore fellowship....not salvation which is eternally given....!

That is your choice, so why are you so amazed when you consistently believe opposite of us, including OSAS (as you said) A "certain" "cultic fascist fanaticism" within the OSAS'er camp! That we are reluctant to say you are part of US.

I don't like to call it the Rapture, because the Psuedo Christians have latched on to that TERM, so I perfer to call it the CALLING OUT OF THE CHURCH TO GO TO THE WEDDING IN HEAVEN. It is not a "Flying Away", We believe we will be CALLED OUT to go to the Wedding of the LAMB in HEAVEN, in the New City Jerusalem HE has built for His Bride:

Revelation 19:7 (NCV)
7 Let us rejoice and be happy and give God glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and the Lamb’s bride has made herself ready.

John 10:27-28 (HCSB)
27 My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish—ever! No one will snatch them out of My hand.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (2Ti 1:9 KJV)

What self-righteous arrogance do we have here for you to think Christ died only for the OSAS brigade. Jesus died for the whole world, so that all those who believe in Him shall be saved. (John 3:16. This was God's provision from the foundation of the world, the proviso being that we believe in Him and accept Him as our Lord and saviour as is our choice.

The same or similar for the rest of the scriptures you post.
