Yeah.. I meant to edit my opening post to say these kind of phrases.. instead of scriptures.. but ran out of time! We have discussed turning from sin before.. how does someone lost.. already dead in sin.. 'turn from sin' as part of getting saved? Rhetorical question i know !

Question is, if it isn't instant and permanent, then what kind of salvation is it? If it is eternal salvation, it has to be instant and permanent, because we are flawed beings, who get eternally saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. If it were a long process of development, that...

I play video games quite a lot, some are pretty harmless like sports games or civilization building games.. but those can take a lot of time that could be better spent on Godly things. I look back at the hours recorded on steam on games I've played and think.. wow that much time! What if I...

So, we have many phrases we often use instead of these scriptural words, to talk about getting eternal salvation. 'Turning from sin and making Jesus Lord or your life ' 'Committing your life to Christ' 'Asking Jesus into your heart' Etc.. These aren't actually in scripture..although may be...

Repent is a change of mind, heart..not a lot of works. God repented what He did with Israel and that was a change of mind. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ..that's not an act of good works. It's a change of mind, heart.

Wait.. a member of the body of Christ is an individual..not an entire local church. When Paul talked about the body in 1 Co 12.. the body in question was at Corinth and the members of it..the individual believers who had joined that local body 'Ye are the body of Christ and members in...

Eternal salvation, is a one time event, when a sinner, by the will of the Father, believes in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, who gives them eternal life because of that belief. Salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus. John 3:16, 5:24, 6:40, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10...

God could not leave Jesus. There was never a point where Jesus wasn't God. Jesus was in pain..ultimate pain,and cried out in anguish in His limited human form. He was also quoting psalm 22 where David said the same thing.. and God had not left David. Psalm 22:1 KJV My God, my God, why hast...

When membership in a local church is mocked, or the 'I'm part of the universal, spiritual church, so don't need to attend local church ' mantra is pushed and pushed.. then that is also key in the decline. Membership to a New Testament local church (although it is always local).. is completely...

I see it as both observation and theology. Someone claiming a miracle or supernatural occurrences needs to eliminate the other factors before claiming it. For eg.. the christian psychologist or counselor discounts all other factors before coming to the conclusion of demon possession. That's...

Well, before I change my stance, since I may agree with you, consider.. Hebrews 10:17-22 KJV And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. [19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the...

Well..what precedes is: Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV - 2 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is...

Weeell.. The end of Hebrews 5 talks about believers maturing, with Hebrews 6 going more on that. It is a hypothetical in Hebrews 6.. IF they fall away .. And 'fall away'.. doesn't mean 'lose eternal life'. Also ... previous context is of sacrificing of animals to please God. Which Jesus...

The Pharisees and scribes were blaspheming by attributing Jesus's work to the Devil. So.. they weren't believers to begin with They were denying who Jesus is. I wouldn't apply this blasphemy to believers. Not something they can do.

Yeah..scripture does speak of the ability to go in and out of the gates

The question is on what happens to believers who have their works burned up.. but are still saved. Are they 'outside the gates' of the New Jerusalem ? If it those actually lost outside the gates..should they not be in a different place?

Salvation is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. A one time event, by believing He is God, lived sinless, that He died and rose again, that by believing in Him, you have eternal life. John 3:16, 3:36, 5:24, 6:40. Romans 5:8, 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9. If you have believed, you have...

Okay.. I believe the same. The difference between 'receive Jesus and God and Saviour' and 'make Him Lord of your life' aren't different in what else you have written. The danger is when making Jesus Lord of your life is a work of constant effort on your part, and that is said to be tied to...

1 John 5:14 KJV And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: John 6:40 KJV - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up...
