Yep, that is exactly what Calvinism teaches, you can't lose your salvation, they own this doctrine. The Holy Spirit is your down payment on your salvation until the resurrection. Eph. 1:13-14 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in...

Was the author of Hebrews "under the law" when he said this? Heb. 3:14 "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" What is the "beginning of our confidence" with Christ? It's our confession of faith! We will not be made partakers...

I have a tendency to upset folks on BB, and if I get started on following the Kingdom of God in Scripture the world here would turn upside down. I'm going to release a bit of it in Part 4 Dispensationalism, when I can get to it!

Well, that was not my focus, it seems to be your focus. I think I mentioned my purpose in the OP.

Do you see the "remitting and retaining" of sin as the disciples, or any believer for that matter, after witnessing and someone accepts the Lord as their Saviour, having the authority by Christ to tell the new covert their sins have been forgiven (remitted)? On the other hand, the "retaining"...

Maybe you've noticed in Covenant Theology the fulfilled prophecies follow a literal interpretation, but when it comes to the unfulfilled prophecies a different approach is taken. They switch their method to an allegorical reading for no reason at all, other than to make the Church to be Israel...

My wonderful KJV also capitalizes Spirit, and I agree He was led by the Holy Spirit. In 3:16-17 we have Christ being baptized, The Holy Spirit descending, and the Father speaking. The Trinity!

And God said the righteous man can turn from it, and die in his sins. We agree on almost all the doctrines found in Scripture, EG, Let's not let this come between us. I totally agree we have eternal security, as long as we exhibit faith to the end.

Well EG, what got you saved is what keeps you saved, that's our faith in the finished work of Christ. That can be lost, God Himself said so, if you will accept what He has said. Of course you can believe whatever you like. Ezekiel 18:21-24 "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that...

We don't ;have to see these things identically, it matters but we don't have to push it. There will be no unity on these boards, you know that as well as I. No need for us to push it and create a division. But at the same time state what we believe. LOL, you're picking a fight, Brother...

Ok, I'm sorry but we disagree. Paul expresses that he marvels they have so soon removed themselves from Him unto another Gospel. They can't remove themselves from something they were never a part of. But I say again, let every man decide for himself, let your heart be your guide.

Paul plainly said, "You have fallen from Grace." Let us all decide for ourselves what he meant. No need to argue among ourselves, the OP speaks for itself.

When the apostle Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatian Church, we see a very angry Paul. He said things that would get our accounts deleted on BB, and he said them by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Of course that doesn't mean we have the permission to say these things to one another. His...

I agree with you've said here, Van. We are spiritually dead until by grace through faith we become spiritually alive. The way I see spiritual death is that obviously God created man's soul to live forever it cannot actually die as in ceasing to exist. Man that is spiritually dead has hope in...

God does not always get His way with man. It's obvious God has given man free will to choose his own way. Man does have the final say as to whether he will obey God, that's why there will be a judgement against disobedient man in the end.

Well then, we disagree on who the "sons of God" are in Gen. 6:2. This has been argued for centuries, and it seems we disagree. Gen. 6:2-5 "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall...

There was a great sin committed in those days that prompted the flood. That sin was committed by the fallen angels that Peter and Paul said were chained and reserved in Hell until judgment. 2 Peter 2:4-5 "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered...

Ok, I must be mistaken in believing the rhetoric coming from the left wing media and politicians is inciting violence to an already violent prone society.

Yes, I agree that was Paul's battle for the most part. We don't argue that much anymore, that is well understood for the most part. I believe what we argue now was not an argument in Paul's day, what we scuffle with was well understood in Paul's day. It looks as though the problems have...

@Zaatar71 Have you noticed in Paul's epistles that he would remain calm when correcting doctrine in the Churches, but when that doctrine in any way effected salvation you can literally feel the anger in his words?
