Transferred into Christ?
Some say God does not transfer chosen human spirits into Christ's spiritual body. But scripture not only says this is exactly what God does, scripture also describes the results (benefits) of having been transferred.
Colossians 1:13 NASB
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.
1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the... -
The Willful Sin of Unbelief
I've put this off as long as I could not wanting to face the reality of what I'm about to write. I feel ashamed and not worthy to even write about those before me who suffered so much for their faith in Christ. I've lived a life of leisure in Christ, and it breaks my heart to consider those of whom I'm about to write.
I'm sure everyone is acquainted with the Scripture where the apostle Paul took donations and gifts from the Gentile Churches to the sufferings saints in Jerusalem. I want to... -
Essential Doctrine from the Bible
The central premise of Bible alone Protestantism is.
The Bible is the sole rule of faith.
And the Bible gives clear teaching such that sincere believers will all agree on essential saving doctrines taken from scripture.
Examples of the premise.
“There are some things in the Bible that can be tricky to grasp. But that doesn’t mean that they’re impossible to grasp. And the perspicuity (clarity) of Scripture assures us that even when they are hard to grasp, the Author intends His words... -
Are Gods Elect ever the workers of iniquity ?
Ps 5:5
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Matt 7:23
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Are those God Loves, Christ died for, workers of iniquity before God ? The answer is absolutely NO.
Yes naturally speaking, those God Loves and Christ died for are by nature sinners, even the very worst of sinners, however they are not the workers of iniquity that God hates and those whom Christ... -
Unconditional Salvation
One night long, long ago, the Angel of Death descended on Egypt bringing death to the first-born. God instructed Moses that each household would take a Lamb without blemish,
Exodus 12:7
"And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it."
And God told Moses,
Exodus 12:13
"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the... -
OSAS Trap
One of the most pernicious doctrines is “once saved always saved”.
It was always known that serious/mortal sin cut a soul off from God and life.
Many holding to OSAS develop rationalisations of sin and become mired in sin, they don’t treat it seriously. “ I’m saved by the blood already, I’ll just say sorry and move on “ won’t cut it with mortal sin. They compound their sin and blindness.
Mortal sins require confession and absolution from an Apostolic Successor as Jesus ministers and... -
Who Decides?
Say God commands the lost to love God with all their heart, mind and spirit. Who decides whether a lost person meets that command? The person who is keenly aware of his or her shortcomings or God? What if the person did his or her best, gave it their all? Can God determine with perfect justice the command was fulfilled? Yes of course He can.
How about the command to love others. Who decides whether a lost or saved person meets that command? The person who is keenly aware of his or... -
Grace Alone
GRACE ALONE
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Grace, by definition must be alone. Once you have added anything to it, it is no longer grace, but wholly of works. This religious generation shouts, "grace, grace, grace" while declaring that God has done His part, Jesus has done His part, and now you must do your part. The grace that "saves" in modern... -
Can you still be christian if you reject Paul's teachings?
Christians are someone who follow Jesus , if you believe and follow the words and gospel of jesus christ but reject paul's teachings, can you still call yourself christians? -
Does God command the lost to do something they are unable to do?
Another poster has asserted God would not command someone to do something they were unable to do. Is this true?
I find examples throughout scripture where people were commanded to do something by God they were not able to accomplish WITHOUT the intervention of God.
1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind spirit. God commanded it. Everyone that believes they are able to keep this commandment please say so directly.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love one another. Love...
