Jesus would never behave in the manner that you address members on here....some of your posts come across as hateful.

Did you say look in the mirror.....I suggest you do the same thing......do just like I do?

Haven’t a clue what you are talking about.

It sounds like a misinterpretation and twisting of my posts.

Hmmm..now that is concerning.
Jackrosie, they will only laugh at you jeering with emocons not directed at the post but you personally (like questioning if you’re saved at all.) This is a fruit of OSAS. Consider carefully if you want to go down that path.

It would do you good to actually trust Jesus by faith and not be such a self righteous hypocrite "Least"
OSAS allows the believer to call others nasty names without any concern since they are going to Heaven no matter how they behave in their own minds. To suggest they should consider their behaviour is to “suggest” WORKS, which is to them heresy. Loving God and loving others are optional extras, I guess.

No love for the Truth can kill the seed of faith....there’s no good soil for the seed to take root, grow and bear much fruit.....:unsure:
Why do you think the love for truth even comes close to killling faith? The love of truth strengthens faith.

Oh right.....well,I have considered my disgusting behaviour in the past and asked God to help me change....because I had no peace....I am at a much better place now....because God gave me the strength to change.....my goal is to please God...I want him to be proud of me.....that his light shines out of me.

I know in my spirit I will always be saved......but that doesn’t mean I can choose to behave how I please....I am accountable to God.
It the heat of a battle against sin, OSAS will be used by the Enemy to get you to yield. “It doesn’t matter as you’ll always be saved so give in” will be whispered. What would you answer to silence him?

Get behind me Satan.

Jeering happens in the heart first. It is with the mind one knows truth. The heart is deceitful.

That reminds me of a saying I once heard a couple decades ago.

False Doctrine begins in the heart, and will eventually ignore all efforts to correct it.


Sad, isn't it ?

Yet NOSAS excuses or will not even admit their own sins.

Again, You show you have no understanding.. When your ready to talk and not attack. Let us know

There is a new LIE about OSAS, that I have Never Heard before. In my life, I have been involved with 14 different Evangelical style of Churches, because we moved a lot, and NOT ONE OF THOSE CHURCHES ever taught that, and nor any of the FALSE STATEMENTS your have been reiterating Here since you got here. It appears to me that you are on a deliberate smear campaign of OSAS BELIEFS. IS THAT THE TRUTH ? ? ?

You misquoted me.

What I said was that when a person has NO LOVE FOR THE TRUTH the seed of faith cannot take root in them which also means their faith cannot grow and they are not able to bear good fruit.

Having NO LOVE FOR THE TRUTH kills the seed of faith. Depending on the condition of one's heart regarding desire and love for Truth, when they hear any word of truth, they will receive or reject the word spoken to them.

This is true with anything, not just the Word of God - The Holy Bible.

Jesus explained the various heart conditions in the Parable of the Sower.

And I am hear to encourage YOU. Most of which she talks about is False Information. I have been involved with 14 different Evangelical style of Churches in my life, and what we teach is a 180 degrees OPPOSITE, of what she claims to have experienced. I don't know, but it could be a personal Vendetta against OSAS Believers. If you want, ask me what we teach, and I will give you an honest answer, with scripture to back it up.

NOW THE TRUTH EXPOSES ITSELF.


Romans 10:9-10 (HCSB)
9 If you confess {not just Profess - it must have happened in your heart (human spirit ) first} with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
