Paul did not teach Perpetual Belief Alone-ism for salvation.

There's a difference between being a person and talking about your personal life.

Then you should use your real name as your profile name then.

Like I said, I don't have a counter case to pit against yous. I'm just questioning yours.

But it seems like you already have an established belief on this topic. If this is the case, then one needs to make their case biblically to prove what they believe. If not, then what foundation are you standing upon?

 

[Servus]

What do you make of Peter telling Simon the sorcerer to repent and pray to God that he may be forgiven for his trying to pay for the Spirit in Acts of the Apostles 8:22?

What do you make of the prodigal son desiring to confess that he sinned to his father and before all of heaven in Luke 15:18? Was not the prodigal son seeking to be forgiven of his sin before his father? Is not this a parallel between our relationship and the Lord?

Like most other Christians I don't have your anointing, so what I make of it is irrelevant.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

I'm saying you're saying most Christians don't have your anointing.

But that doesn't answer my questions. Again, how many do you think today are a part of the narrow way? 1 billion or less than 1 billion?

I do not see how this response is productive to having a bible discussion. What verse or set of verses do you want to use to prove your belief is the truth and it disproves what I have shown with Scripture?

How can anyone have a productive bible discussion with someone who thinks he has a special anointing most others lack?

I believe God can reveal the truth to a person if they are open to such a truth. Unfortunately, old beliefs are like comfortable old shirts or pants and they are hard to get rid of when they start to become worn, faded, and or they have holes in them.

I figure from what you're saying it's just you with only a few others.

And you're the one the truth has been revealed to.

I'm sorry I wasn't more specific. I figure from you're saying it's just you with only a few others, which would be far less than 1 billion. But since I'm going by what you're saying, I'll leave it up to you to provide a more exact figure.

I honestly do not know any exact number. But I do know 1 billion seems way too high. But what do you believe this number is close to? By your stated belief it makes it appear like 1 billion are a part of the narrow way because you adhere to the Protestant branch. Would I be correct on that assessment? You seem to even agree with Orthodox, which would also increase that number, as well.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

And you're the one the truth has been revealed to.

Again, I am not sure how these kinds of statements prove your case that your belief is true with the Bible. Please contribute something in defense for your belief using the Bible please.

You seem to even agree with Orthodox, which would also widen that number, as well.

I said what I figure most Christians to interpret as opposed to your interpretation that it's just you and and few others that have your special anointing. Or put another way, according to you most Christians are on the wide path to destruction. So again, you being the anointed one, your assessment is the only one that counts.

I'm just acknowledging your claim to have a special anointing that most other Christians lack.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Okay, I am moving on unless you want to defend your belief using the Bible.
If you just want to continue to make unfruitful comments on my belief in God's Word, then have a great day.

And may God bless you.

One thing though, how can you call establishing that you have an anointing most other Christians lack as unfruitful? After all it is written, you will know them by their fruit.

Jesus said,
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (Matthew 7:18-19).

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit.

What makes the tree a good tree?

You may have to ask the gardener?
