Yeah. Osas does not equal calvinism. Having a preset entrance in heaven for a believer is something biblicists believe, who are neither Calvinist nor Arminian

Well, you'd have to look at why they are denouncing Him. Maybe they got caught up with the wrong crowd ...taught the wrong things after salvation. But the thing is .. that's attachinh behaviour to being saved. That's putting requirements to 'prove' you are saved. There is going to be fruit...

I think most people misunderstand OSAS and think it's kinda.. I can get saved and then do whatever I want deal. First-- that isn't thinking spiritually.. it's thinking carnally. Second-- Numerous scriptures talk about God disciplining His children after they are saved. As a loving Father, He...

That's pretty low man! It is completely obvious in scripture.. that individual indwelling and a group receiving the Holy Spirit are different things! Read the book of John and compare to the book of Acts. And yeah..I'm repeating myself..so what?

Again.. a group receiving the Holy Spirit is not the same as individual indwelling. If the context establishes the group is of believers.. then any receiving of the Holy Spirit is not about receiving salvation.

Remember the difference between and individual being indwelt by the Holy Spirit at salvation.. and an already saved group being empowered by the Holy Spirit.. receiving the Holy Spirit 'in the midst' Two different works of the Holy Spirit. The later has nothing to do with receiving salvation.

Were you there when He rose frooooom.. Frooom the graaaaaaave! Weeere yooou theeeeeere?! Selah

Of course.. false christians.. but which of these are members of a NT church? The nicolaitans aren't talked of being a NT church. Those in the synagogue of satan-- nope.. not a NT local church in that. Those who hold to the doctrine of Balaam.. sure.. false christians.. but actually members...

(Rev 3:14) And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; (Rev 3:15) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (Rev 3:16) So then because...

Because in context He is knocking on the door of the local church.. it's about church membership. Revelation 3:20 is not a verse about eternal salvation but becoming a member of a church. Getting saved is not in the context. This is about a luke warm church, of saved baptised believers...

A church is of saved, baptised believers. That is what a church is. Unconverted people in a church aren't part of it. Simple as that. Its not a building. It's the converted, baptised people who meet there. Proof? The church at Corinth is called the body of Christ.

Belief that Jesus was crucified, died and rose again, that He is God. Knowing you are a sinner in need of grace That by believing in Him, entrusting your salvation with Him you have forgiveness of sins, past present and future.... You have eternal life. John 3:16, 3:36, 5:24, 6:40 Romans...

If you invite people from church to meet outside of service time and they are keen, that is a good way to build friendships. Or if there are Bible studies during the week and outreaches you can be involved with.. and people are keen for you to join. But I think if they are grounded in...

Critics a long long time ago came up with the theory that Jesus only swooned on the cross. That the cool of the tomb revived Jesus and He could appear alive to others later. This theory is completely flawed.. 1) The way the Romans executed people on the cross was brutal and most people would...

Romans 10:9-10 John 3:16, 5:24 Knowing you are a sinner. Believing Jesus is God That He died and rose again That by believing in Him, you have eternal life and forgiveness of sin. That is all.

Oops I answered in reverse. 😀 Knowing the Father.. He would reveal the Son. But you do need to know the Son for conversion otherwise it's like Judaism. Although both with Judaism and Islam.. what they are calling the Father is not the same thing. If it's not one Triune God.. one being this...

Well someone getting saved could learn about Jesus giving eternal life to a sinner who believes in Him and not get taught about the Father. But this isn't not knowing the Father...because Jesus is one being with the Father. You know Jesus... You know the Father. They are not separate...

I was a New Ager 20 years ago. I was thinking I could get energy from rocks, trees, nature. Get it by meditation to be 'one' with them. It's very very subjective. I didn't know what I was opening myself to. Of course it feels good getting into nature and breathing in fresh air, but there is...

Weeell.. baptism... It's got so many different takes with different denominations. Context is key. Think about the difference between a group of believers being empowered by the Holy Spirit.. Individual salvation. And then baptism. See how they are separated out in scripture.

Yeah.. well.. to keep the Episcopalian/Church of England beliefs.. I think they did a few interesting things with translation. Bibles before king Jimmy had congregation or assembly for 'church'. It made it clearer.
