In Search of Truth

1 John 2:18-19 19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. NASU They were not Christians, John makes this clear, they were never of the Faith, so they...

"Fine, since you believe that one must do works that God requires even though they will not justify you here is the one work that will - beleif." Here is the one work that will- belief, this is what you said, so you understand belief to be a work! Therefore faith is a work JOhn 6:26-30, does faith ...

I dealt with those passages, now let the people know what your definition of Apostacy is.

Is it one who falls from THE FAITH?

If Salvation is by only faith, then one does not need to repent or to confess right? Who's faith saves us ours? Is this apart from all conditions commanded by God? To make the false claim that someone is saved by faith alone is not warranted by scripture, if one is saved by faith alone then by no ot...

Are all passages that talk about faith talking about our faith?

What is "the Faith" and how does it apply to us and contextual study?

Gal 2:16 16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. NAS...

Rom 8:9 9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. NASU Does this passage teach that one can not have the indwelling of the Spirit yet still be saved? Does this passage...

Gal 5:3-4 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. NASU Did you say HYPOTHETICAL?!?!? :? So hypothetically there were no Judaizing teachers teaching a false perverted gospel. So hypothetically there was no threat of these Christians...

I would like you to explain how one can fall from the faith if he was never in faith.

Define APOSTATE! Honestly!

Rom 8:35-39 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." 37 But in all thes...

Have you joined a church and you feel it is the one true church? Why How does it measure up to the standard of Christ? Can you look at everything in that church and give an account for all of the worship, all of the entrance into that church being in agreement with the N.T. church. Maybe you were ra...

Acts 19:1-7 It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. 2 He said to them, " Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." ...

The once saved always saved is a false doctrine, anyone that is not faithful unto death will not recieve that crown! Rev 2:10 Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. NASU What happens if you are not faithful, does this mean you were never a Christian? 2 Peter 3:17-18 17 You t...

How is one saved? Is it by faith alone? Is it through obedience to God? Is it both? Is salvation conditional?, is there anythings that we can do in order to receive salvation? Is repentance required for salvation? Is believing really needed on order to be saved, it is something we do right? What abo...

You proclaim that one can be in the church yet not be a Christian? You proclaim that not everyone that is in the church is saved? This is contradictive to the church that Christ died for, his church, if you are saved, a child of God you are in the church. These Galatians were added to the church the...

So you teach more than one gospel one for the people at Pentecost and one for cornelius and us, do you teach a different Gospel for the samaritians in Acts 8. So simply you are a dispensationalist that teach more than one gospel plan of salvation in the N.T. In the rest of the N.T there are no other...

One is added to the church, one church in which Christ died for His church not our church. As for identifying ourselves with congregations is a mer identity thing within His church not our church, of course you have many people going to man's churches such as Luthers church, Westly's church, the Pop...

Galatians 5:1 A. They are Christians, brethren, sons 1. Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. a) “Keep on standing firm” in the freedom that Christ bought for you. b) The liberty signifies the freedom from themselv...

Cornelius was not saved just by hearing a message about Christ, unless you are a dispensationalist you must make accounts for the mixing of Holy spirit baptism and water baptism. If Cornelius is our example of being saved because the Holy Spirit fell upon him and they spoke in tongues then I am stil...

When was Abraham saved? When was David saved? When was the Holy Spirit poured out onto all mankind? Read Acts 10:1-4 the description of this man seems to fit many O.T. figures who were waiting for the Messiah. According to the N.T. the blood of Christ cleanses those in the past as well, is it possib...

Does the N.T. specifically say to use Musical instruments? It does say to use one instrument "The heart", to sing with the heart! If the bible is silent on any particular issue why do we feel obligated to fill in the blanks. What is the pattern for N.T. worship when it comes to worshiping GOD. When ...

In accordance with this thread, I was wondering were everyone stood on the subject of apostacy? What is it, what is it really? Looking at the original language helps us better understand the truth about once saved always saved. I would like to articulate my argument from Galation 5 where Paul is tal...
