The elect are God's sheep, and only his sheep can hear and believe in a spiritual God (John 10:26-29)

Your theory will not harmonize with the new birth as described in Ephesians 2:1-5. The spiritually dead will not, and indeed, cannot receive the things of the Spirit (1 Cor 2:14).

I have already supplied that for you (Eph 2:5)

What scripture taught you that assumed fact?

The kingdom of heaven is one of many terms that signify The visible church which are the remnant of Israel. Those who are saying Lord, Lord, is not the natural man (1 Cor 2:14), but are those who have been born again spiritually, believing in God, but have not the knowledge of the truth (Rom...

Who are the whosoever's? They are God's sheep. John 10:26-29 - But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, ( Matt 25:31-34) as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither...

Good guess. The natural man is spiritually dead (1 Cor 2:14) We are all born into this world as spiritual dead because of Adam's sin, but thanks be to God's sovereign grace, he gives some a new spiritual life while they were yet spiritually dead ( Eph 2:1-5) ( Ezk 11:19 )

Paul left Timothy with the church at Ephesus to charge some in the church that they teach no other doctrine (1 Tim 1:3). Paul further states that they should pray for those that have authority over the city of Ephesus that the church may lead a good and peaceable life in all goodness and...

Eternal salvation (deliverance) is not of works, lest any man should boast. There is a salvation (deliverance) here in time for those who have been born again that is accomplished by their good works.

Thanks again. I am sorry that he is no longer around. I enjoyed discussing the scriptures with him, but every now and then, he would get on to calling me very nasty names in his replies.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I thought it might have had something to do with sackcloth and ashes in the scriptures.

Can you explain your comment more plainly?

Can you explain to me how that am claiming that those who are not sanctified according to Gal 2:16 are possessing eternal life?

Those that Christ died for were only those that his Father gave him, and they can never lose that inheritance of heaven (John 6:37:40), however, those that he died for, as they sojourn here on earth, can lose their fellowship with God when they commit a sin, until they repent.

You will never understand that eternal deliverance is by the grace of a sovereign God, until you understand how depraved you are by nature.

Repentance and faith in spiritual things are not the traits of the natural man, before he has been born again (1 Cor 2:14). Repentance and faith in spiritual things are the traits of those who have already been born again.

If you believe that you can earn eternal salvation (deliverance) by your good works, you are among the disobedient elect.

If you knew your scriptures better, you would not be preaching eternal salvation is earned by your good works.

You do understand, I hope, that I believe he is the one that is misquoting the scriptures. Eternal salvation (deliverance) by his good works will not harmonize with other scriptures.

If you want to believe that you can earn your eternal deliverance by your good works, then preacher4truth is the one to listen to for that is what he teaches. I
