    Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or Keep the faith until the end?

    That does not say of those that the Father gives Him that He can't lose any of them. That is easily proven by just looking at this verse... John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of...

    Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or Keep the faith until the end?

    I said no such thing. Read what I say more carefully. I never said that people can live righteously apart from Christ and His sacrifice. Not even close. I'm saying that people can choose to acknowledge their sins and that they cannot save themselves and cannot live righteously on their own. Stop...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    You are not reading that verse correctly. It's not only referring to those who are beheaded, but all of those who do not worship the beast, which is all whose names are written in the book of life. In contrast, those who worship the beast are all those whose names are not written in the book of...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    So what? Is Revelation 20 the only passage in your Bible? You need to interpret scripture in light of all scripture and not interpret a passage in isolation from all other scripture. Cherry picking scripture is how cults interpret scripture. You should not interpret scripture like they do.

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    No, the term "first resurrection" is not just something that only applies to Revelation 20, but is something referenced in other scripture as well. Other scripture says that Christ's resurrection was the first resurrection. Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    Isn't it something that his entire doctrine hinges on something that is highly unlikely to ever happen? Without a supposed rebuilt temple where animal sacrifices would supposedly be reinstated and where a supposed Antichrist will supposedly sit, his doctrine falls apart.

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    I, of course, disagree with you on where we will be taken after meeting Him in the air (nevermind that for now, please), but we do agree that it would make no sense for Jesus to descend from heaven, only to turn around and go back there again. Why wouldn't we just meet Him in heaven instead of...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    But, Revelation 20:4-6 refers to "the first resurrection". If that was referring to a mass bodily resurrection of believers then, in your view, that would be the second resurrection and not the first resurrection. You have a first resurrection already occurring before "the first resurrection"...

    And I KNOW THAT MANY JERE BELIEVE IN BAPTISM ?

    I'm not sure what you're asking here. Can you clarify?

    Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or Keep the faith until the end?

    Exactly. So many people (especially Calvinists) take Romans 3:10-12 literally to be referring to all people, but the scriptures Paul is referring to there (Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 53:1-3) are not referring to all people, but rather to those fools who say there is no God. David contrasts those people...

    Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or Keep the faith until the end?

    Agree completely. And believing in eternal security is a very dangerous thing to believe because people can become complacent in their faith and slowly start to fall away over time because of that complacency. All because of not knowing what is actually taught in scripture and not understanding...

    And I KNOW THAT MANY JERE BELIEVE IN BAPTISM ?

    I am not denying that we are baptized in the Holy Spirit when we are baptized in Christ Jesus. That's a different baptism than John's baptism because it is a spiritual baptism. I was simply saying that John's baptism was a baptism of immersion in water. You need to read what I'm actually saying...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    Are you saying that you don't think the "sudden destruction" that occurs when the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night is the Lord's wrath? If so, that would mean you somehow think that the "sudden destruction" from which those in spiritual darkness "shall not escape" is not the Lord's...

    Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS) or Keep the faith until the end?

    Have you never read these verses... John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have...

    Revelation Disproves Rapture

    Right. But, there's no excuse for it. Unfortunately, I think it's partly because a chapter break was inappropriately placed at the end of 1 Thessalonians 4. Did you know one person was responsible for creating the chapter breaks (Stephen Langton in the early 13th century)? That's kind of...
