No dear friend. Condemnation the scriptures state is to those who do not believe period, always in the present tense.
I recommend that you, dear friend, parse John 3:18 and 2 Thess 2:12. The English wording is "have not believed".
In John 3:18 it is a "perfect indicative active" in the negative. iow, they NEVER believed.
In 2 Thess 2:12 it is an "aorist participle active" also in the negative. iow, they NEVER believed.
The English translation translates the message very well.
You claim it is those who "do not believe" period. As if you have the last word. Well, you can remove your "period" because the Greek REFUTES your 'last word'.
Condemnation is for those who "have not believed". Which means they NEVER believed.
And that is the point. It's NOT about this "continual believing" for salvation theory. It's about whether one HAS EVER BELIEVED. If not, they will be condemned.
If someone believed yesterday and does not believe today they are an "unbeliever" in the present tense "now".
So what? Proves nothing. The Bible NEVER describes or refers to such a person as an "unbeliever". The biblical word is apostate. Look it up in your dictionary. It means someone who no longer believes what they once did believe.
What you still haven't proven is that salvation can be lost. All you've got is assumption and presumption.
All I am hearing in your posts is denial of the scriptures shared with you.
To be clear, the denial is of YOUR claim of what the Scriptures say and teach.
What you do with the scriptures shared with you is between you and God.
They sure are! And I daily ask for guidance into the truth. I ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate the truth every time I read His word, which is also daily.
Maybe you don't realize, but no one wants to be wrong. Neither you nor I do. But one of us is definitely wrong, because our views are diametrically opposed. You may want to start praying.
[QUOET] You should be aware though and this is very telling, that you have not provided a single scripture that says we can believe yesterday and not believe today and receive eternal life.[/QUOTE]
This is evidence that you don't read my posts. I already responded. I said I don't have or need to because Jesus covered the issue clearly. He said those He gives eternal life shall never perish.
And, to use your own failed technique of requiring specific wording to support my view, I'll turn it right back on you. You have not provided a single Scripture that says we can lose salvation.
So, there you go.
Yet it is God's Word that explicitly states those who depart the faith (stop believing and following God's Word) are not in a saved state with God and do not receive eternal life.
OK, then. I'll bite. Please quote the single most clear verse that supports your claim. But this time, don't punt and merely claim that I've been given many such verses.
I'm asking you specifically for the single best and most clear verse that says what you claim. Since you "claim" there are many such verses, picking out the single best one shouldn't be too difficult.
