1 | One example of loosing salvation NT | Luke 8:13 | Nosnarc | 88853 | ||
You may have had this one already, but how about John 10:28 and 29, "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand." (NKJ) There is no link between falling away and losing one's salvation. God Bless |

2 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | Nosnarc | 88806 | ||
In my understanding of Scripture, this (tongues) all hangs on the (mis)interpretation of Acts Ch 2 vv 1-13 (esp 1-4). I now attend an Elim Pentecostal church - this is the one my wife was attending when we got married. Whilst I find the outpouring of praise, worship and enthusiasm for outreach as well as general enthusiasm normally uplifting (this is one of the reasons she wanted to stay in this church), I do find that I cannot come to terms with their - and increasingly more peoples - interpretation of this scripture. It seems plain to me that the people around the Apostles at the time all heard their own languages (vv 4, 6 and 8), and not an incomprehensible babbling. Also the gift of speaking in other tongues/languages is given for the benefit of the unsaved and not the church (I Cor 14: 21 and 22). Prophesying is for the edification of the church.(Also see further down*) To me this seems to have been altered in the 'modern' church. If we look at Paul's listing of the gifts given by God (I Cor 12:28), tongues/languages is far down. Yet this gifting is being given more and more prominence (sp?) in this day and age. At times I think that 'the church' wants the miraculous but is not too interested in the seemingly 'mundane' aspects of church and serving The Lord. (*)Prophets and teachers are way up there as far as Paul is concerned. I would suggest therefore that this is the same with God, if we take the Bible as the inspired Word of God. Sorry, didnae mean to go off on one there. It is something I feel quite strongly about. I could go on, but I'd better shut up . . . God Bless David Cranson |

3 | Righteousness by faith NOT WORKS!!! | Rom 4:6 | Nosnarc | 88793 | ||
Yes indeed(!) :o) Yet this does not preclude the continued living out of a life dedicated to The Lord Jesus. James chapter 2 is very interesting in this matter, especially vv 17 - 26. Faith and works, I believe, should go hand in hand. Not that works alone can save us or give us righteousness, but that by these works our faith is shown to others, and indeed is helped to grow in our own being. Also Philipians 2 vv 12 and 13 - "work out your salvation" - not that this salvation is gained from our good works (see Eph 2: 8 and 9), but that we grow and work on in the salvation which we have, letting others see it, and, again, letting that salvation grow in us through the works and actions we do. | ||||||
4 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | Nosnarc | 88851 | ||
I respectively suggest that the Sabbath is already on the 7th day (Saturday) anyway. The first day of the week (Sunday) and the Sabbath are not one and the same. | ||||||
