I believe the Gospel. Christ and Him crucified. There is no other way. When we believe that Christ alone has died for our sins, we walk in the light. You see, it is all about God, not us.

All of this time, I have been declaring Christ and Him crucified while you declare righteousness in the Law.

In Christ
Daniel

Actually, most (and possibly not all) Eternal Security proponents only believe in a half gospel or a milk type only gospel (i.e. The gospel's initial portion that tells them to believe in His death and resurrection - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This is the milk of the Word that the Corinthians could only accept. It was the only message they could bear because they were still yet carnal (See 1 Corinthians 3:2-3). It's why Paul said he came not to know anything among the Corinthians accept Jesus and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2) because they would not be able to bear the second half of the message of the gospel (i.e. the meat of the Word).

The majority of Eternal Security proponents do not believe in the Bible's full or complete gospel (i.e. the meat of the Word). The second half or truth of the gospel is that Christ died so as to redeem us from all iniquity and so as to live holy and be zealous of good works.

Hebrews 5:9
"And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, NKJV

Ephesians 5:25-27
25 “even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Titus 2:14
“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

Romans 1:16-17 says,
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." NKJV

What is this faith look like?

James 2:17
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”

James 2:24
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”

James 2:18
“shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”

Hebrews 9:14
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.”

Titus 3:8
“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.”

1 Peter 4:1-2
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God

Colossians 1:21-23
21 “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.”

Colossians 2:6-7
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,as ye have been taught,”

1 John 1:7
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

Jason,

You testifies against yourself. For you put a yoke on others that you yourself are not able to bare.
The Bible testifies against you. It says man is wretched. It says our righteousness is as filthy rags. It says that the best state of man is nothing but vanity (sin).
Life itself testifies against you. No man has ever achieved what you are espousing since the Cross of Christ. Name the sinless men since Christ's resurrection. If your doctrine is true, we should have a list of men that have reached perfection, men who sin not.

Christ is the way, the truth, the life. He provides the covering, it is His righteousness that is imputed towards us. We cleave unto Christ!

In Christ

The Gospel is...

Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. He was buried and the third day He rose from the dead according to the scriptures.

I am screaming it from the highest mountain.

I already addressed these verses and showed you that you are in error with your interpretation on them.

You said:

Ah yes. John 14:6. I just came across this verse a few minutes ago before I came back online here.

But read John 14:6 together with Matthew 16:24 and slowly think about these two verses and how they are related together.

John 14:6 says,
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Matthew 16:24
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Do you get it?

Jesus is the way the truth and the life and yet we are told that if we want to come after Him (who is the truth and the life) we are told by Jesus to deny ourselves, and to take up our cross, and to follow Him.

That is the meat part of the gospel or the second half of the complete gospel that you do not want to hear.

I get it, I cannot depend on myself...I cannot depend on my righteousness.

It is Christ and Him crucified.

Thinking you have and actually doing it are two different things.
As you say, you sin...you are of the devil.

The list Jason, where is that list...I can start it for you.

Jim Jones

In Christ
Daniel

Actually Jim Jones is closer to the belief in Eternal Security because he taught that you can sin (commit suicide) and still be saved. Today, various believers have already committed suicide with the thinking they are saved because of Eternal Security.

Suicide & OSAS:
A tragic story of an OSAS believer.

Mass Murder, Suicide, and OSAS:
A tragic end of an OSAS believer.

Well, actually, the Bible gives us the answer in Hebrews 10:26.
Jason, you do understand Paul is talking to Israel here. If you return to the Law, Christ's sacrifice is for naught. It is ineffective.

As for error of thinking that the book of Hebrews was written exclusively to Israel:

Have you ever read this verse in Hebrews before?

"For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;" (Hebrews 3:14).

Also, if you were to keep reading in Hebrews 10:26, it says this,

27 "But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" (Hebrews 10:26).

Can you imagine a child raised by parents who threw them out of the house everytine they broke one of the rules. And they wouldn't be allowed back in until they earnestly repented?

Or a child who was told if they weren't dead to breaking the rules, in respect of never breaking them they would be thrown out of the house?

Some think God treats his children that way

Jason are you JW or

No. I am not a part of any denominational affiliation or name or group. I believe in the Trinity (i.e. the Lord our God is one God who exists as three distinct persons). Jesus who is God (Second person of the Godhead or Trinity) came down into the flesh and blood body of a man.
I believe the Bible alone is our sole authority. No man made traditions or church or extra book should be added to the Bible.

You said:
Thinking you have and actually doing it are two different things.
As you say, you sin...you are of the devil.

In Christ
Daniel

1 John 3:8 is talking in the present tense.
Believers are forgiven of past sins if they confess them.
But a true believer will be characterized by a life of holiness and good works.

See 1 John 1:6-7 and then compare it with 1 John 2:3-6.

True children are chastened by God to repent of their sins. God will correct the true child of God and not the bastard son because the bastard son does not want to be corrected.
