Abigail Your "You are using these verses to prove OSAS..."OSAS was invented by Dr. R. T. Kendall. It is *NOT* Calvinist! Whereas I am. Therefore I would not try to prove it in any way. Some input for you - "Dr. Kendall is not an advocate of the Calvinistic view of perseverance, for he considers that in one important respect the Calvinistic teaching has contributed to the undermining of biblical assurance. Wherein, then, lies the difference between the Calvinistic view of the believer’s security and the viewpoint of Once Save, Always Saved ? In a nutshell, it is that Dr. Kendall believes that regeneration makes sanctification only ‘possible’ because, he wishes to argue, a Christian may be saved without being sanctified. ‘Sanctification was not a prerequisite for glorification, or Paul would have placed it in line with “calling” and “justification” [Rom 8.20]’ (p 100). This is no slip of the pen on the author’s part for the main thesis of his case is repeated four times the first 43 pages: ‘I state categorically that the person who is saved will go to Heaven when he dies no matter what work (or lack of work) may accompany such faith. In other words, no matter what sin (or absence of Christian obedience) may accompany such faith’" (I.H. Murray) |

Abigail"And moreover, Christian, remember how many backers thy evil nature has. As for thy gracious life, it finds few friends beneath the sky; but thine original sin hath allies in every quarter. It looks down to hell, and it finds them there, demons ready to let slip the dogs of hell upon thy soul. It looks out into the world, and sees "the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eye, and the pride of life." It looks around, and it seeth all kinds of men, seeking, if it be possible, to lead the Christian from his steadfastness. It looks into the Church, and it finds all manner of false doctrine ready to inflame lust, and guide the soul from the sincerity of its faith. It looks to the body, and it finds head, and hand, and foot, and all other members ready to be subservient to sin. I could overcome my evil heart if it had not such a mighty host of allies, but it makes my position doubly dangerous, to have foes without the gates, in league and amity with a foe more vile within."

KK and Abigail I get the feeling from your posts that you have missed a point here. Note. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10.Before the sheep can do anything in this verse, - THEY are claimed by the Lord. HE calls them "MY SHEEP" This is not just any sheep - But HIS sheep HE knows His own. The previous verse identifies the alternative flock which are NOT "MY sheep" Note. 26 But ye believe not, **BECAUSE** YE ARE NOT of my sheep, as I said unto you. Thus to "hear" and to "know" (and hence to follow), belongs to the flock of Christ, and not just anyone. Also the promise of verses 28+29 are for the chosen elect of God. John 15:16 Ye have NOT chosen me, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. |

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness"Original Mistake is to reject the Word of God. Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves" Action of God is give them up to their carnal lusts. Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Action of God is that all the people are culpable. Psalm 94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off." Judgment is already in progress! |

We keep trying to convert JD and Yamil, but it is as if there is a wall between them and the Biblical Truth.cbcpreacher This debate is more than just discussion it is the preaching of the truth unto salvation - "for those who can hear." Look at JD's remarks he even posits that the sinner doesn't require the Holy Spirit's (indwelling) work unto salvation. Yamil appears to follow the same erroneous path. As L.R.S. says this is the world of the religionist. JD You are peddling salvation by works. Please remove yourself from the Roman Catholic Church forthwith. |
