Yes I have clue. It is called Scripture and Tradition taught by the Church.
Well, there's a clue too. Tradition is "taught" by the RCC, and has NO PLACE in Christianity. It is the Word of God ONLY that we are to follow.
Mark 7
4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they
observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles. )
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
7
They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8 You have let go of the commands of God and
are holding on to human traditions.”
9 And he continued, “You have
a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
Well, so much for "traditions". According to Jesus.
Tenses of salvation is an an odd teaching I do not agree with.
Then please answer my questions to show that it is more than "odd" (meaning that you're simply unaware of it) but wrong. Otherwise, all you've got is an opinion.
Now if you.can cite a scripture saying someone is saved rather than will be saved, post it. Please use a real translation not one of those new ones that change the meaning. KJV, ASV, NIV ,NASV will work fine.
My pleasure:

has saved you; go in peace.”
