    Conditional salvation??

    Jesus said that more than once that if we do not forgive others, we will not be forgiven. My question is this. Does this make forgiveness conditional? Does it mean we do not have to be forgiven of sins to be saved if we choose not to forgive those who sin against us? What do various ones of...

    One cannot believe OSAS without believing in 5 points Calvinism

    I am sure some might disagree with me but it is illogical that one will always remain a Christian without accepting double predestination, unlimited atonement, etc.

    Is all that is required for salvation is believing in Christ and Him crucified?

    Is all that is required for salvation is believing in Christ and Him crucified? Some appear to believe this based on 1 Corinthians 2:1-2. Is this true?

    The prodigal son

    I’m wondering if the prodigal son is also for Christians who fall into a lifestyle of sin but come back to repentance?

    OSAS does not survive the "sola scriptura" test. Now what?

    And "yet" not one single verse saying that all who are born again will "persevere firm to the end" or that those who "fall from grace are saved anyway". They are if they are still born-again. If they have lost their salvation "severed from Christ" and "fallen from Grace" Gal 5:4... then they...

    Forgiveness revoked

    Methodist and Adventists and perhaps even some Catholics believe this Bible teaching about "forgiveness revoked" -- what do you think of it? Matt 18 32 Then summoning him, his lord *said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Should you not...

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    I believe it is possible for a heaven bound Christian to end up condemned. There are many passages describing this but I believe the parable in Luke 12:42-46 is one of the clearest. In this parable, the word "manager" is singular, showing that there is only one faithful and wise manager being...
