Subject: "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! |
Bible Note: "You quote a scripture (Romans 8:5-9) written by Paul. He is speaking to those who have already received salvation by responding to the gospel, in other words they are CHRISTIANS." Paul is speaking to Christians, but he is describing life without Christ. Notice that Romans 8:8 says that the people who cannot please God are those who are those in the flesh (i.e. non-Christians). Notice that the very next verse says that you are not in the flesh if he has the Spirit of Christ (i.e. is a Christian). "My point is there is only one body and that body is the church, the CHURCH OF CHRIST." Of which I am a part. "The only theology in the New Testament is that of the church of Christ. My goal is to learn the truth of this theology and spread it." Mine, too. " I agree with you that the Holy Spirit acts on hearts that are willing to receive the gospel of truth, but that action does not save a person, only obedience to the commandments of God, through Jesus, accomplish this." And do you obey all the commandments of God or not? Under a system of works/obedience, if you don't fulfill God's commandments perfectly, you go to hell. Good luck! --Joe! |
