Hello Jason I'm new new here so as far as I see from your posts you do not believe in osas and that you lead a sinless life for the most part is that correct?
We're all brothers and sisters, Jason.
Correcting wrong or evil behavior or beliefs is not in conflict with being loving.
Most here are really not my brothers and sisters because they condone a sin and still be saved doctrine. Yes, I have prayed for my enemies many times. But there is no requirement that I am to make such prayer requests via by some public forum.
Who did Jesus say who were his brothers and sisters?
Roman Catholicism is unbiblical because they worship idols and pray to other god like entities besides God like Mary and the other saints. There are many other pagan elements in their worship of God, as well. In fact, I think the RCC is the woman that rides the beast in Revelation. So no. I do not in any way shape or form believe in Catholicism. Nor do I believe in Works Salvationism as they do. I believe God or Christ does the good work in the believer. A believer in and of himself cannot take credit for any work they do. If one is saved, then they have the LORD living within them (Because it is God who is eternal life and salvation). So if God lives in you, then the fruits of the LORD will be evident in your life. But if you bring forth evil fruit all the time (as a daily thing or as a way of your life), instead of good fruit in your life, then you are proving that you have not been truly born again spiritually. One is transformed and changed and new in Christ if they are a true believer (Because God transformed their heart and spirit and now He lives within them causing them to walk in His good ways --- See Ezekiel 36:26-27).
Jason - Did you read my post to you from a few days ago? You didn't respond to it so I figure you missed it. It's right here:

I have been ultra busy this week. So any post that requires a point by point Biblical reply is going to have to wait. But to answer briefly, do you believe the Westboro Baptist Church is saved according to your beliefs? What about tbose Christian churches that deny the Trinity? Do you understand what morals are? Right from wrong? I believe God is Holy and righteous and he will not condone or cover any willful rebellion done against Him. Not sure how you cannot see that. It's pretty basic.

Hi Jason.
I think we are real close, here. At 18 years old, I asked the Lord into my life. I really felt that I had done what I should to be born, again. But as time went on, I realized that my "fruit" of my life was no better. This led to confusion and frustration. At age 32, I watched a video of Martin Luther. Romans 1:17 "...the just (righteous) shall live by faith." This really hit home. Having grown up a Roman Catholic, I was still counting on my deeds, works, and sins or lack there of, for my walk. When I realized what Luther discovered, I was able to die to my actions, and live by faith in Him. This born again experience was genuine. I thank God through Christ for it. As I have grown as a Christian for the last quarter century, I have still sinned. But I believe that they have reduced in volume and intensity all Because of Jesus' propitiation. Here is my point...
Once I was truly born again, OSAS became a fact. OSAS is only for those who have truly given their life to Jesus and been born again. Your contention about sins requiring repentance is true for those who have not received the Holy Spirit. But once God the Spirit lives within, No one can snatch the true believer from God. Born again is once for all, and so is the salvation it brings.

Prayer is sacred to me and I usually only include those of whom I think are true believers when it comes to such a thing.
