Featured Paul’s very clear warning about today’s #1 disastrous doctrine

This is what Peter said about our Salvation being kept by God
1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
What say you of this passage?

I believe the Calvinist have the easy believe system down pat. They don't even have to believe. They are saved so they can believe. Faith is a gift not something you generate your self. Everything is left up to God to do. You do absolutely nothing, not even believe to be saved. There is no conviction of sins, no being convinced in order to have faith, no faith first. No thoughts of being saved, it just happens. No seeking God for Salvation. No submissions to the power of God's love. Talk about easy, it seems to be the ultimate of easy.

What must a sinner do in order to have God save him then?

 

How is salvation evidenced in the life of a Christian? What is the fruit, which the Spirit of God produces in the life of the Christian? Can this fruit be manufactured by your own efforts outside of the work of God's Spirit?
Salvation is solely from God, but the process of sanctification is ongoing as we walk with Christ and carry our cross. Christianity is not for the faint of heart. Read Hebrews 12 to understand the discipline we receive as children, adopted by God.

 

Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Amen, but there are some here who seem to add to add good works into that mix!

 

It is the work of the Holy spirit to confirm us into the image of Christ, for as paul stated in Galatians, saved by faith alone, the work of the Spirit, how can we go back to good works and keeping Law to mature us now then? Saved by faith to faith, as Romans stated...

 

Sure show me these 10 verses

Who is the one keeping us, ourselves, or Jesus the High Priest, the Spirit the sealer?

 

Good works come after Salvation not to keep Salvation but simply because we were created to do good works.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
We are like dogs trying to please our master by doing what He wants of us. Some never do any good works. I'm not there judge Christ is. I do good works by giving my testimony about my Salvation to others. By Helping others, by giving. and loving my neighbors. These are the easiest. The toughest things are always remaining humble and kind. Never allowing my self to be high minded.

Yes, good works are evidence of a new life in Christ, but again, some seem to see God as basically telling us to obey well enough and long enough, and He will reward us with eternal life!

 

Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
these two verses tell me you have no idea of what you are speaking about.

Jesus told us to believe in God, and believe on Him, the One God sent to be the Messiah!

 

You say: The doctrines of grace are not backed up by proper scripture.

Please prove this.

Find the verses used by Calvinists and show me how they are improperly used to express the idea of:
Total depravity
Unmerited Favor
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Persistence of the Saints

Second, show me the proper scripture that you use to show:
Limited Depravity
Merited Favor
Unlimited Atonement
Resisted Salvation
Loss of Salvation

I will wait for you to provide scripture for all of the above.

 

Might be awhile for him!

 

Nonsense.
Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Many claim Salvation yet true salvation is not invisible. True Christiansare tender of heart loving and caring for there brethren. This verse was writen for those who believe for a short while but there belief wilts and dies. Ithere seed was planted in poor soul they had no true understanding. They had no root they simple were never saved.
The very bottom line is the last verse in this chapter.
Heb 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Simply they never fully believed.

Just as in Israel there were many who professed the Lord was their God, and yet under trials showed true colors, same fashion in the church when tough times hit!
