Yes, the key to John 10 is that they are the sheep that are following Him. These are the FAITHFUL sheep. Of course they are going to have eternal life. Verse 27-28 says “…THEY FOLLOW ME AND I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH.” You have not proved anything—especially that...

Losing our salvation has nothing to do with the power of God. Jesus wanted to save the people in Jerusalem. He said He would have gathered them under His arms like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING. Does that mean God did not have the POWER to make them come to...

Yes, you and I have discussed these scriptures and others multiple times. Just because YOU say those scriptures don’t say what they actually say, does not mean that is true. That may be your opinion, but you consistently choose not to believe what the Holy Spirit has written on these and many...

Yes. There is an abundance of scripture that confirms it! I just answered this question yesterday listing 19 scriptures that prove a saved person can be lost in post #1252, if you are interested in reading those. I will not re-post those here for sake of time and space, but I hope you will...

Every person in the Bible was saved by the blood of Christ. Just as Christ’s blood today “reaches forward”from the cross to the 21st century to save us who are alive today, in the same manner it “reaches backward” to save all people who were faithful to God according to the law they were under...

Yes, all of these scriptures say that the faithful believers have eternal life— but that does not prove that a person can’t lose their salvation. I am a faithful believer. I am walking with Christ. I am drawing near to Christ. I have been baptized into Christ. I am assured by these...

I wish I could say you are wrong, but I can’t. Sadly, You are exactly right. But we can still try…

I don’t know what version you are reading but the NKJ says in John 6:29 that faith is a work—not that you must have faith to do work as you have said. Those are two entirely different things. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and not accuse you of trying to “twist” the scriptures to...

Noah’s spiritual salvation is not the point here. If you think I was talking about Noah’s spiritual salvation then you missed the point completely. This was a “physical salvation from a real, literal, physical death. I used that EVENT to explain how grace, faith, and works all work together...

Obviously, you have not read many of my posts, particularly the ones where I am trying to refute “faith only.” Ephesians 2:10 poses no problem for me, but it might for you, if you cannot prove that baptism is NOT a “good work”. In John 6:28-29 some people asked Jesus what they could do to WORK...

, but men who are “unwilling” WILL perish, because we all have free will to obey or not. If men did not have free will then we cannot choose to OBEY God. And if we can choose to obey, then we can choose to disobey. I John 2:2 the Holy Spirit says that Jesus died for the WHOLE WORLD. The...

No scripture supports this statement. Matt. 23:37, Jesus wanted to save the people in Jerusalem; He said He would have gathered them under his wing like a mother hen gathers her chicks, BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING. Just thus one scripture proves that what you are saying is false. Plus, I gave at...

It was the grace of God that informed Noah about the impending destruction and the grace of God that provided a way to escape. Grace would not have done Noah any good at all if he had not obeyed God in building the ark. God’s grace and God’s works go together to accomplish what God wants...

There is no scripture that says we are saved ( United with God by the Spirit) at the point of repentance. Or that the Holy Spirit does that when we repent. Or that “repentance” puts us into Christ’s universal church. None. Saul of Tarsus proves this. Acts 9, Saul BELIEVED when he saw and...

John says if anyone does not abide in the doctrine of Christ, they do not have God. The most important reason for choosing a church is whether or not their DOCTRINE is confirmed by scripture. Are they abiding in the doctrine of Christ? They substitute “sprinkling” for baptism. The Bible...

I totally agree that the law of Moses was not for gentiles. Deuteronomy 5:2-3 Moses plainly says that the law that God gave them on mount Sinai was only for those who were alive at that time (Israel). It was not given to their “fathers” Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, but to them—the nation of...

The Ten Commandments are incorporated into the doctrine of Christ, all except keeping the seventh day holy. That one is not part of the teaching of the New Testament. Christ changed many of the commandments in the OldvTestament and resplaced them with NEW commandments. See Matthew 5-7. The...

The grace of God that has brought salvation has appeared to ALL MEN. (Titus 2:11) Not to just a select few, but to ALL MEN. The scriptures teach that God desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:4). He does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezk...

The word of God says nothing about the person doing the baptizing. It is not about them; it is about the one seeking baptism. Whether the person doing the baptizing is an atheist, an unbeliever, a Christian or a person of another religion, does not affect the one being baptized. As long as...
