Subject: How sinful is "fallen away"? |
Bible Note: Joe; In all sincerity; there is and has been a misunderstanding on this issue between those of the Reformed faith and those on the side of the Remonstrants. Whenever an Arminian trys to appeal to a Calvinist using scripture, we cannot help but get the sense that we are misunderstood, and the reply's we receive, indicate that many think that we believe that works maintain our salvation , even though we don't believe that. I never once mentioned works. What I have written is concerning "perseverance" and endurance which is scriptural. And endurance is perseverance. Also faith is a verb, and is not passive, we are to be pro-active in our faith. We are to pray, put on the full armor of God, we are to trust and obey, if you call that works, then I will remind you that even Scripure says: "faith without works is dead" James 2:20 that means life-less, less than saving faith, a dead non-existant faith is not a faith which can ever please God. Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee zach† |
