I did say he was a branch, but I did not say the he was a 'branch IN HIM'. There is a difference in a regular branch that eventually spins out of control because they will not receive instructions from the vine. They whither and die. A branch IN HIM, means they were receiving instructions...

You would have to ask this question: does Jesus always get it right?

He had to be newly converted to Christianity, and yes he had to have a great testimony of Jesus in order to have been chosen to assist the Christian apostles. He was one of the best the Christians had to look to and Jesus told the apostles through revelation that Nicolas was to be one of the...

You are correct. the parable proves that there are those on the vine who do not do good works that produces good fruit. It is a parable to prove that ET is not true. In the parable of the vine, the 'branches IN HIM' (which means they are saved branches' can be taken away if they do not produce...

Did you not choose Jesus?

I also choose Jesus and choose to obey Jesus, amen.

Apparently this quote of mine is disturbing a lot of folks. I said a good Christian can lose their soul if they lose focus on the cross and if they lose focus on the life of Christ and keeping his sayings. It is the truth, ask the Nicolaitans, and Hymeaeus and Alexander, 3 perfect examples...

Is there any biblical stories or parables that prove that ET is a bad doctrine. Be careful and be truthful.

Ask the biblical Nicolaitans, or Hymenaeus, or Alexander?

If this is what you got from what I said, this is the problem. I didn't even come close to saying, we should focus on the law and commandments and we will be OK. Read it again and then tell me what I really said. Be truthful.

A proselyte to me is one who was a member due to being proselyted. He was probably not a Jew, and was possibly a proselyte from another country. All I know is that those 7 chosen to assist the apostles, were no ordinary men. They were, at the time, the best men of the age. Ones that had a...

I am similar to decon, your friend. We share similar traits. We are just on the opposite sides of ET.

Well, for several examples given in the bible it was not impossible, it happened. They were saved, then turned away and Jesus turned away from them and in fact tells us that he hated them. ES not truth.

Thank you EG.

This is what I have been saying, thank you for your words. I have always believed that OSAS and ES are false and dangerous doctrines.

Was Hymenaeus and Alexander some of those that were never with us?

Who were the Nicolaitans?

Thats only 1 thing the bible says about believers turning into unbelievers. Look up who the Nicolaitans were and why Jesus hated them. They were followers of Nicolas, who it is believed to be one of the 7 deacons chosen to help relieve some of the burdens that were crushing the apostles...

I will always disagree that Christ gives everything and we do nothing, but wait for eternal life to fall upon us. I know I have probably mistated that concept, but tell me what is our responsibility to be saved?

Thank you for your civil tone. It is just that the ONE biblical door into the kingdom for me is a different door. We will always disagree on that door. Like I have said, you or I would have a hard time getting a coalition of like-minded Christians to see the exact same door into the kingdom...
