Sin is...

[Faith Alone 1 Cor 15:1-4]

Only God is perfect and there is only one God , that makes us all sinners because we are less than God so no matter what we miss and will miss the mark - sin .It's simple , but many people brag on themself how sinless they are nowdays or they say that they never sin...

 

[Hammster]

So you believe faith is just believing that's it?

No, not "just".

 

[Hammster]

If so you should look at NT salvation itself repentance, baptism, holy Spirt reception. Also look at the Greek words for believe and faith, for believe it's pisteou I believe which means to act on that belief... in fact there's even a bible verse where I believe pail it is addressed a group and says have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed to indicate this. Faith stems from the Greek word pistis which means to be reliable, dedicated and converted. You are justified by faith and faith itself involves action and a changed lifestyle. Because you have faith in God and his word you will repent, be baptized and get the Holy Ghost.

You aren't made righteous by your actions. But work that pleases God will follow just as growth follows birth.

I can't tell if you agree or disagree lol

It was meant to be thought provoking and soul searing.

The standard for entry to the Kingdom of God is perfection.

Now we can really have a conversation.

 

[TheSeabass]

Not so. Christ is just that good.

Sin is what separates one from God, sin is THE reason one is lost.
Then evidently there is no such thing as sin if sin cannot cause the Christian to lose his salvation. Has the man made idea of eternal security done away with sin to where it no longer exists?

That's a false dichotomy.

Baptism and Holy Spirit reception don't require hardcore actions though just acts of faith... the Holy Ghost is free and with baptism you just get in a pool... you guys act like these are hardcore works in a sense like fasting or helping with charities these are just components of the acts 2:38 salvation processes. Being baptized, repenting, Holy Spirit reception is what makes you avliable to be used by God and walk in faith they aren't the same as works

We aren't justified by baptism.

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

We aren't justified by baptism.

Does justification status= saved status?

 

[Hammster]

Does justification status= saved status?

It means we are considered righteous by God based on what Christ did.

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

It means we are considered righteous by God based on what Christ did.

So in other words saved correct? Saved from a destination to hell, saved from sin whatever?

 

[JIMINZ]

Your spirit is. Your flesh isn't.

.
What does it mean to you that your flesh isn't

.

 

[Hammster]

Saved from hell. Sure.

 

[JESUS=G.O.A.T]

Saved from hell. Sure.

So why wouldn't baptism go under that if it washes away sins according to acts 22:11 I believe and some other scriptures if it's part of being saved from dannation

 

[Hammster]

.
What does it mean to you that your flesh isn't

.

That we haven't been redeemed. We will still sin as believers. Paul lays it out pretty good in Romans 7.

 

[JIMINZ]

.

Lets stick to what your belief is.

A question for clarity.

From what you said above, I am not sure as to what you believe.

Is it your Belief, after a person becomes a Believer, and gains Salvation, they remain sinners?

 

[Hammster]

“But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭22:11‬ ‭NASB‬‬

???

 

[JIMINZ]

What is Redemption?

 

[Hammster]

What is Redemption?

Is this an inquiry or a cross examination question? It will help me shape my answer.

I am asking the question in order to find out what you meant, in the way YOU used the word.

To say we haven't been redeemed, what did you mean when you used it?
