Obviously, the man who practices righteousness w/o being born-again is wasting his time ... unless he responds to God's invitation to believe in Jesus and His gospel. The Lord gave Lydia the necessary faith to believe what Paul was saying. She was a worshipper of God, which probably made the...

People are forgiven for all of their past sins when they are foist born-again “… they have been cleansed from their old sins.” 2 Peter 1:9 “old” (NKJV, RSV, NLT) ●●● “former” (NASB, ESV) ●●● “past” (NIV, NCSB) But, they can also be cleansed of their present and future sins via 1 John 1:9.

Hooray, it's about time! I hope too many here have not been swayed by your false doctrines ... e.g. your rejecting of the dire warnings that the Lord has included in His word.

Brother Glen, I'll put Romans 6:16-19 against your Romans 7 any day. Paul clearly says: if you're a slave of sin, eternal death awaits. Paul gives the solution to your Romans 7 in Romans 8.

Covenants have rules to follow. Basically, the rule for BACs is to co-operate with Holy Spirit ... as He leads and guides and helps us! Or, if one doesn't like that ... how about following Jesus' commandments? He says those who love Him are the ones who obey His commandments (John 14). He says...

Please, don't be like many females on Christian forums who want to make it personal. We're NOT talking about YOUR glorious walk with the Lord, etc. We're talking about what the NT says, and warns about, etc. And we should be talking about how to RECONCILE the so-called OSAS eternal security NT...

Why don't you take one of the warnings and explain it away via its' context? (Sure, there are several so-called OSAS eternal security verses in the NT.) If you don't know any of the NT dire warnings, then you will be admitting that you don't understand plain English, and/or that you are greatly...

OK, let's do an easy one for you ... it is NOT even specifically written to the churches! Yes, it's written to everyone ... who has a NT, and can read, and can understand, etc. Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all...

Years ago, I might have agreed with your doctrine ... but I read and understood the NT when I saw the many dire warnings written to everyone in the churches! Not to mention those of Jesus spoken to everyone (including you). There are several SIN LISTS in the epistles to the churches. Please see...

This is so true, especially those who trust in OSAS eternal security. Seems I'm going to have to list some NT passages, which are dire warnings that BACs can lose their salvation (which I have done dozens of times over the years). Are you aware that Americans have been dumbed-down for decades...

If you practice righteousness (1 John 3:10) or if you work righteousness (Acts 10:35) ... you are proving that you are a BAC who is in a righteous standing with Father God. I.E. You are proving that you are a faithful saint ... a faithful follower of Jesus (see Eph 1:1 and Col 1:2). This...

Dave, if you are a BAC, you no longer have to sin. This is what "freed from sin" means.

2 points of great interest for some of you watching this thread: (1) Both Ephesians (see 1:1) and Colossians (see 1:2) were written to the saints who are FAITHFUL (or faithful followers of Jesus). (2) Your Colossians passage is just another description of what happens to one who has just been...

All I am doing is quoting NT verses that MANY people absolutely refuse to deal with! We must RECONCILE all of the NT verses ... NOT just choose certain ones to believe.

Then, you are in bad bad shape, friend. But, thou artest NOT alone, friend.

Dis is just another one of my favorite passages ... Galatians 5:1-4 (NKJV) “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us (BACs) free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage … You (BACs) have become estranged from Christ … you (BACs) have fallen from grace.”...

Please understand that one's initial condition after first being saved can be altered. E.G. Romans 6:16-19 slave of sin >>> eternal death slave of obedience >>> righteousness slave of righteousness >>> holiness Does God FORCE any BAC to NOT be a slave of sin? Does God FORCE any BAC to be a...

Those Galatians were trying to ADD some of the works of the old law to the finished work of Christ. Me, I'm trying to convince people to obey Jesus' commandments. For example ... John 14 15 If you love Me, keep My commandments. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves...

How does thou knowest how I liveth? ... Are you out of your mind? I have been baptized with the Holy Spirit (with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues). And you think I don't know all about the Holy Spirit.

It appears that DaveG and Titus have no need for 1 John 1:9 as a means of Jesus' cleansing them from their recent sin(s). It appears that they believe they have been forgiven for ALL of their sins (past, present, and future). Thus, and therefore, they believe they are free to sin and still go...
