    When does one lose salvation?

    When Jesus says that he is referring to false prophets. People who have false teachings. Not how you behave, but what you teach. That's the context of that verse. How do I know this? Well read the verses before it... It is literally talking about false teachers, and what they teach. You should...

    When does one lose salvation?

    Amen that verse can also talk about during the time of tribulation after the rapture because it says last days which wouldn't apply to us.

    When does one lose salvation?

    But you are twisting what the verse says... The verse doesn't say cut off from Christ. The verse says the branches are cut off... Meaning the parts of yourselves that bear bad fruit are cut off, this is a positive message about sanctification in your walk with him... It says branches, not the...

    When does one lose salvation?

    Yes, I know. But again my original point is that salvation is a gift of God and not of ourselves. We respond with faith. But we can't lose it. It is not of works. If someone says you can lose salvation by simply not believing in Jesus anymore, I have a little more compassion with that... But if...

    When does one lose salvation?

    That doesn't prove you can lose your salvation at all... Again please explain why you believe those verses mean that? Cuts of every branch in me... Does not mean cuts all of you off and throws you in hell. Do you not see this is talking about the imperfect parts of us that does not bear good...

    When does one lose salvation?

    No no no that's an extreme form of Calvinism. But just read the verse below. He draws all men to him. John 15:6: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you"

    When does one lose salvation?

    I know that. I was just trying to illustrate the point that if we could lose our salvation over something we do, it would no longer be not of ourselves as scripture says. He chooses us.

    When does one lose salvation?

    Not at all dude... Please explain why you think that.

    When does one lose salvation?

    It's a direct quote from scripture... Not my opinion. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" Are you still denying now that salvation is not of ourselves? Scripture says it directly... /:

    Why did Adam and Eve sin if there was no sin?

    No I'm not saying it's ok to keep sinning. I am just trying to show the difference between the flesh and the spirit. The spirit is your new man, and God calls us to forsake the flesh and crucify the flesh and live out the new man. But your flesh hasn't been perfected... Your spirit has been...

    When does one lose salvation?

    It still doesn't prove you can lose your salvation. Salvation is not of yourselves.

    When does one lose salvation?

    The verse in Hebrews actually confirms Once Saved Always Saved. It says it's impossible to renew someone to repentance again, meaning it's impossible for someone to get saved again after falling away because Jesus' sacrifice was for all sins... They can't gain their salvation again and repent...

    Climate change - hoax or reality?

    Nothing wrong with environmentalism but just don't take it to the extreme where you worship the creation rather than the creator. Respecting the creation, respecting God's earth and not polluting it, is all fine and dandy. Man causing climate change is a hoax but man causing pollution isn't, as...

    Why did Adam and Eve sin if there was no sin?

    Wrong. You are using ESV which is corrupted. KJV literally says "Can't sin" not continue in sin... See how these corrupted versions twist things around? KJV is saying you CAN'T sin, your new spirit is sinless, it can't sin. That's what lives on for eternity. "and he cannot sin, because he is...

    Is it impossible to lose your salvation?

    Nope. That's works salvation and that is heresy. You don't seem to know God very well and his unconditional love for us. He doesn't see us in sin when we are in Christ and he doesn't condemn us anymore.

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    Incorrect. You are not giving the holy spirit credit. God can work on us and change us after we get saved. But if you think you must clean up your life before getting saved, so a drug addict turning from drugs before they obtain salvation, that would works salvation. We are not saved by works...

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    This afternoon I repented of what I wanted to eat for lunch. I also repented of what course I want to take in university in the fall. What does that have to do with sin? It literally means to change your mind in Greek... Just as when Jesus was preaching, what does changing your mind from dead...

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    May I ask why is man making up their own definition of the word repent? Why are people making a new theology of it when Jesus was saying the word not as "change your mind". Just like any other word can be used. Could using this in the wrong context keep people unsaved?

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    Turning away from sin is useless without the holy spirit.… You can't mix turning from sins (which is a work, for example, a drug addict has to do the work to try to not take anymore drugs or go to rehab, etc. and in Jonah turning from wicked ways is described as a good work) with grace. You...

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    But why are you making up your own definition of the word repent? When in Greek it doesn't mean to turn away like you say, but it is a statement to change your mind. Jesus never says change your mind from sins... Man added that later on. Just read the bible and you will see nowhere does it say...
