  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    Except I'm not arguing using probabilities. I'm using the bible to make my points. I made my points scriptually at the begining of this thread and you are welcome to argue them if you'd like. Romans 6:9 says, "For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again" You...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I got you now. Yes, there are some wolves among the sheep posing as sheep who were never saved like you say.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I didn't respond because I wasn't completely clear of the point you were getting at, particularly with the second from last sentence of post # 70 and also with this post.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    Yeah, but no Christian commits apostasy unless they are switching faiths, but that makes them not a Christian if they do that. For a Christian, once saved always saved.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    A, but not B. Disobedience is not apostasy, nor is does it relinquish salvation.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    Are you talking about apostasy or saying no via disobedience? I mentioned that I agree that a Christian can commit apostasy at any time: that is, they can switch religions.

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I'm not arguing the point you just made. Everyone has a choice to say no to believing in God. Those who reject God do not have salvation. But those who do not reject Him do have salvation when they come to Him through faith in Christ. By coming to Him through faith in Christ you are in fact...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I don't think it is possible for a true Christian who is saved to reject the gospel they have come to know so I am not able to answer your question. (Some may turn to Hebrews 6, but that is saying something different than this. That is not talking about a CHristian who rejects the Gospel, but...

    There are NO contradictions in the bible

    Why are you using such huge font? The point I would like to make here does not go with this thread. Please post in the thread "We cannot lose our salvation" for your response. But we cannot lose our salvation if we claim that Methusela died at 968 instead of 969. That's crazy. THat is...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    I'm not asking anyone to justify their salvation in this thread. It seems almost quite opposite what this thread is about actually. This thread is to reassure Christians that they are saved. Not questioning to check if they are. I think you are alluding to the verse that speaks of, "Do not...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    :eek: You mean God didn't change the way of doing things from the Old Testament to the New? I think He did. In the old testament, salvation was only offered and available to the children of Israel. At times others were drafted in, but those were rare occasions. When they were drafted in...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    That is what we are talking about. I hope you don't get hung up on semantics. The topic at hand is: Can we forfeit our salvation. I'm testifying that we cannot, with one exception. The exception is apostasy. If we suddenly become Muslim, or call on another god, then we just forfeited...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    Okay, this.... The best bible interpretation uses the bible to interpret itself. There is a series of things to think about. First we look at the verse and try to interpret what it is saying. Then we look at who's speaking and gauge where they are coming from. Then we look at the passage to...

    We Cannot Loose Our Salvation

    God commands us to live holy because He is holy. We are still commanded to live upright and without sin through Christ who helps us to not sin. This command to live uprightly does not have a price tag of our salvation with it. We live justly because we are followers of Jesus and He makes us...
