1 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157823 | ||
We are saved by grace. It is a gift from God. There is nothing we can do to gain this grace for ourselves. However that does not mean that we cannot chose to again seperate ourselves from God thorugh our unrepented evil deeds. If you wish to remain saved then you must "continue" in Him. I John chapter 2 | ||||||

Hi David, Welcome to the Forum. Not to gang up on you or hound you my friend:-) How does 1 John 2 tell us that to remain saved you must "continue in Him?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157840 | ||
1 John 2:24 "If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye shall also continue in the Son, and in the Father." That word "continue" seems to me to denote a perpetual growth towards perfection just from the way the text is worded if nothing else. Are we not commanded to grow into all righteousness? Ps. 92:12. Mal. 4:2. Eph. 4:15. 1 Peter 2:2. 2 Peter 3:18 |

Hi David, Regrettably, one verse of scripture does not prove a doctrine! In principle, we look at context and interpret the less clear from the more clear verses. Why don't we go to 1 John 5:13: "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." Theologically, I'm not in agreement with you and do not wish to engage in another debate on eternal security my friend! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
