That is what I said. Here is my quote: Soil #2, Luke 8:13 believed superficially but that belief was NOT credited as righteousness, and therefore was NOT transferred into Christ, was NOT born anew, and Jesus never knew him.

Matthew 5:9 is among the well know list of the "beatitudes." Who do you think are the "peacemakers?" The word (Greek G1518) is a compound word comprised of a word meaning "peace" and the word translated as "makers." This second word refers to someone who is working or making an effort to...

Soil #2, Luke 8:13 believed superficially but that belief was NOT credited as righteousness, and therefore was NOT transferred into Christ, was NOT born anew, and Jesus never knew him. To repeat, believing in Christ does NOT automatically save a person. See Matthew 7 and consider those that...

When faced with the evidence of scripture, false teachers will always shift to "against the person" argumentation. Once God puts an individual human spirit into Christ, they are kept for an inheritance in heaven. When we are indwelt, are we indwelt unless we lose our salvation or forever. I...

"No Van I am not claiming the human spirit put themselves in unity with Christ. What I am saying and what we see in scripture, above, is that when someone believes then God saves them." Here is biblical truth, when God alone credits a person's faith as righteousness, God alone transfers the...

1) There is absolutely no evidence Soils 2 ans 3 of Matthew 13 were saved. 2) You claim when a person professes belief, God "must" save them, thus automatic. 3) Abraham's faith was credited as righteousness, Abraham was not credited as righteousness 4) Yes, Soil #2 did "believe"...

If you reject the God of the Bible, does that make you an Atheist? If you create a god of your own making, are you not just another Atheist. If you say there is no God of the Bible, are you a fool? What did the Preacher teach? Love God and Enjoy Life. The corollary is you cannot do one...

Ever wonder why the OT saints had to wait in Abraham's bosom to be made perfect until after Christ died? They had received mercy but not the justification provided by the blood of the Lamb. Or just who Christ led captive? Or whether all the OT saints believed based on Christ preaching...

A. W. Tozer suggested, in his book Pursuit of God, that a useful exercise is to turn the beatitudes on their head to contemplate what non-Christians might look like. An interesting corollary is that the opposite of truth is not falsehood but evil...

You can keep proclaiming unbiblical nonsense, Sir. You simply ignore the compelling evidence. You deny God credits our faith or not. Thus you simply do not grasp Romans 4. You claim automatic salvation when you believe your are automatically saved. That ignores Romans 4. You claim human...

Sorry Sir, but you are just posting nonsense. Just because someone believes superficially, or does not believe He is their Lord, does not automatically save the person. Pushing automatic salvation that can be lost is a long way from the biblical gospel.

Cursed are the prideful, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Cursed are those who have no regret, who see the harm they themselves caused, but respond with "oh well." Cursed are those who reject God, who dispute His law, and see themselves as their own law. Cursed are...

Yes, when we carry our "cross" each day, we are striving to put to death "self" so that only Christ rules our life.

Not a problem as Soils #2 & 3 were never saved. Soil 2 lacked commitment and fell way, and Soil 3 produced no fruit, thus was not indwelt. God said Soil #2 was temporary, thus not given "eternal" life. Soil #3 produced no fruit, thus unsaved. John 15:5

An old chestnut says mercy is not getting what you deserve and grace is getting what you do not deserve. When God withheld His wrath and did not punish the Old Testament saints for their sins, it was an act of mercy. When God justifies New Testament saints, it is an act of both mercy and...

You need to address what I said, rather than copy and paste non-germane verses. Jesus died, shed His blood, to provide the means of our justification, our reconciliation. He was raised to provide evidence upon which we can put our complete faith in His name. Adam sinned, and the result is...

I understand NT scripture to clearly teach, once saved, always saved. There are, in my opinion, two cases for those trying to support loss of salvation. 1) A saved person, starts advocating false doctrine. They are then are said to have fallen away from "the faith" referring to proper...

Sorry for the delayed response to the OP. This post does not address any of the following pages of replies. 1) What is the difference between "forgiveness" by God, and "justification" by God? First we need to focus upon a particular kind of "forgiveness;" that provided by the application of...

Christians should not make up things and then attribute them to others. If you do not know what I mean by repurposing, just ask.
