No Eastern Orthodox were very similar to the RCC in teaching. Most of these kind of churches I mean got nick named 'ana-baptist'. They didn't have that name for themselves, without denominational names. They were given names according to main leaders in their groups. Not all ana-baptists...

Interesting in church history there are groups of Christianity that go way way back that don't identify as Catholic or Protestant. They were around before Catholicism and didn't need to reform. They helped some of the reformers but weren't reforming their own teaching.

The only thing in my church really is KJV only ism. Other than that, people are humble and good to each other, we have solid, biblical sermons and do evangelistic outreach.

I think if you knew more of what PennEd posts you would have held back from that post.

I'm pretty sure the biblical definition of a enuch has zilch to do with transgenderism

Yea I'm from Christchurch NZ. I've been on this site since 2001! Used to have the nick interwattie. Nice to meet you

Thank you for your honesty. It may become a strength in the sharing of this to others. The example becomes the motivator for others.

But the same applies to many who believe salvation can be lossed. They also sin on purpose. Actually many sin out of fear because they are mentally unstable from not knowing if they have eternal life or not. I know many christians like this. The thing is .. we are talking about where the...

In that case.. it would be an entire congregation losing salvation.. each and every one of them.

Believers sin all the time unintentionally when not intentionally. We can sin less, by God's grace..and that is the right response to being given eternal life, but we can never be completely sinless until we get to heaven. This is why salvation is OSAS because there is nothing inherintly good...

Yea.. OSAS does not have to equal calvinism

Lukewarmness with the Loadiceans is a church losing the place of the Holy Spirit 'in the midst' of them. Not individuals having eternal life taken away. Difference between indwelling Vs 'in the midst'

Hold up! Jesus did for all. Whosever believes in Him will be eternally saved. Next verse for comparison: (Mat 7:15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat 7:16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of...

First verse for comparison: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 KJV For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall...

Gotta look at the rest of the context around this, plus other verses about receiving eternal life. Being 'cut off ' does not necessarily mean 'eternal life taken away' Who is talking to whom? What is the subject? What is the occasion?

Yeah..it's Jesus keeping us.. Not us holding to Him that keeps us saved. Us holding to Him is a yo yo journey. Him holding to us is a rock that cannot be moved.

No suprise if they were doing that. Atheists and just secularism in general.. people will plan in their sleep.

'If we sin willfully, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.' The context is of ANIMAL sacrifice. It's a verse to Hebrew believers who were going back to old ways and sacrificing animals to try and please God. So when they sinned, they would offer a sacrifice of a bull or goat. That...

Baptism for the remission of sins. The word 'for' when you go to other passages of the Bible and the Greek behind it, carries the meaning of 'in regards to' or 'because of '. This shows baptism being a response to salvation already given. Being baptised by immersion in water because of...

Okay. No worries. I know from previous posts of yours you do have water baptism as part of salvation. Water baptism is important, but it isn't linked to salvation except as a picture of it.
