A saved Christian!

Then You have another one to work on Giver!

What does it take to be saved? I think the best answer to that question is the one the Lord gave in John 6:28-29.

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Here was a perfect opportunity to list all the things we have to do to meet God’s requirements. Jesus could have rattled off the 10 commandments. He could have repeated the Sermon on the Mount. He could have listed any number of admonitions and restrictions necessary to achieve and maintain God’s expectations of us. But what did He say? “Believe in the one He has sent.” Period. It was a repeat of John 3:16, confirming that belief in the Son is the one and only requirement for salvation.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

A few verses later in John 6 He said that this wasn’t just His idea, as if that wouldn’t be enough, but that His Father was in complete agreement. And not only would our belief suffice to provide us with eternal life, but that it was God’s will that Jesus lose none of those who believe. You and I have been known to disobey God’s will, but has Jesus ever done so? And isn’t He the one who’s been charged with the responsibility for keeping us? Let’s read it.

“For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:38-40)

Just in case we missed this promise, Jesus made it again even more clearly in John 10:28-30. “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” The Father and the Son have both accepted responsibility for our security. Once we’re in Their hands, no one can get us away.

and I praise God that He knew I was never going to be good enough to do it on my own. He is all and I am His!

You can't be of a different philosophy than God and have a good relationship with Him. A house divided can not stand.
When you reject God's laws, (i.e. His ways,) you reject Him.
God gives us His laws as an insite into His way of life. What a wonerful thing. Without them we are seperated from God.

1 Jo. 2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (also)

The first question it would be wise for you to ask yourself is: who taught you about God?

Also you quoted a scripture that is not complete, and in this way teaches a lie.
Here is what John said about one saying he or she had never sinned.
(1 John 1: 8-10) If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.”
KJV (1 John 1-8) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

John makes it clear that if one says he or she has not sinned they are a liar. Also John says that if one has been cleansed from all unrighteousness; most people would believe unrighteousness is sin. If one is cleansed from sin then how could he or she be a liar if they admit to being sin free?

What I am sharing is proving that the people who started once saved always saved teaching; totally have misunderstood Paul’s teachings.

The Church before the Reformation knew that OSAS was hearsay. That teaching never was allowed by the true Christian Church.

1 Jo. 2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (also)

I guess I'm abusing all of these too.

Mat. 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Mk. 7:8-9 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
9 He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

Mat. 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [/quote]

predates the cross, the law was in force.

Jo. 12:49-50 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Jo. 14:15, 21 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Scam when comments mislead

Ro. 7:12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Isolated scam....Paul is teaching that the law is good, perfect and Holy but we're divorced from it.

Ro. 16:25-26 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,”“You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Noone said the commandments does not exist, the point is that they're well reprensented by love and we're judge by faith not the law.

1 Cor. 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Dont get twisted, the law says circumcision is the beginning of observing the law. It is understood that the word commands is more appropriate to determine what Paul is saying.

1 Cor. 14:37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

same scam

Eph. 6:1-2 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

The law lives, but we're not under the law

1 Jo. 2:3-4, 7 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.

This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
