OSAS doctrine began with John Calvin in the 1500's. However, many of these teachings originally with Augustine of Hippo in the 400's. Augustine was declared a Saint by the RCC because he was RCC. I ask everyone here: Why would anyone believe ANY doctrine of the RCC?

Scriptures about losing salvation are on the internet. with most of them being plainly written. Arguments against it are many & use scriptures out of context while retranslating them on the fly. The devil wants christians to believe their salvation is secure no matter what they do. Few people...

Mark 3:28“Truly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons and daughters of men, and whatever blasphemies they commit; 29but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”...

This is incorrect. Unbelief is NOT the unpardonable sin, no matter how many say so. Mocking or accusing the work of the Holy Spirit to be of Satan is the unpardonable sin. One must do so KNOWINGLY. 1 Timothy 1:13 New American Standard Bible even though I was previously a blasphemer and a...

Yeah, I think I'm done here. :rolleyes:

I think this says everything we need to see. :rolleyes:

This is TWICE I've found you using this bible version to stir up strife among the brethren.

This scripture is used incorrectly. Douay-Rheims Bible Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This is a improper translation. Since it is found nowhere else, I must seriously question your...

I think 2 of your voting boxes needs to be changed to: I'd rather eat sand (tastes better than Spam.) I'd rather eat dirt -- more minerals that way (and tastes way better than Spam) :D

I think it would be used best by cubing it & placing on mouse traps. Then the trap would get them or the spam would poison them or they will die from clogged arteries. The best part of all is it can sit for months on the trap without going bad.;)

Colossians 4:15 New International Version Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. New Living Translation Please give my greetings to our brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church that meets in her house. English...

How is it you don't think demons tempt/manipulate/influence people to sin? Once they tempt & influence, they will infiltrate & possess. Satan steals, kills, & destroys. Flesh is cursed to sin, sure. But don't think for a moment we sin all by ourselves without some devil's help.

You are correct, but those 'orders' come from God, not them. The Apostles spoke what they heard from Jesus like Jesus only spoke what He heard the Father speaking. I mostly agree with you, but only by what's written above.

Wow, with as many on CC that like to speak their minds, you would think there would be more to say something.:rolleyes:

No. the excommunication is done by the church body, not by the pastor or elders. When the church sets them out, they are out.

To shepherd the flock as servants, yes, to manage as bosses, no.

NOWHERE does any office in any church have authority to bark orders to anyone. It's unbiblical. So this "authority" tree some of you keep climbing is false. In the NT, God taught with His authority that christians, the inner man, is no longer under the curse, so OT law is out on that one. So...

So, what do you think? Should christians be bereans with everything in the church? Me personally, I think it's a no brainer. Every ministry, every program, every leader needs to be observed carefully. Jesus said watch & pray, & now more than ever we need to watch around us.

I meant, where in the NT is your doctrine taught?

It has NOTHING to do with ministries or who does them. It is not a ministry qualifier/disqualifier.
