the bad fruit of once saved always saved

[malcolm]

Greetings.

This book approaches the subject from a slightly different perspective than normal, and it is sure to prove challenging to those on both sides of the debate on eternal security.

Thank you for your time.

Phil 1:9-11 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.

in Christ,
Malcolm

I saw the title and was going to ask if you had been talking to Rapt.

[dizzle]

And Malcolm, I have not forgotten about our conversation, I just have been busy beyond utter belief. I was glad to see you still kicking around here. I do hope you are at home here.

[Solly]

Ha, I was going to ask if he WAS rapt. Gee I miss him. After all, Explosived has turned up.

[dizzle]

Explosived has turned up here?? I mean that would be cool, but I have not seen him... have I missed something? And Rapt would be welcome as well of course... I have not seen Rapt posting anywhere lately.

Ex has signed on as Ed Jones. I spotted him here (http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1070&perpage=15&pagenumber=3)

Oh okay, thanks. I missed that one.

Psalm 4:3 (ESV)
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.

1 Thes. 1:4 (ESV)
For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

Job 19:25 (ESV)
For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.

Romans 8:16 (ESV)
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

1 John 3:2 (ESV)
Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Isaiah 12:2 (ESV)
"Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation."

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

Yes, I have to say this is one of the best message boards I've found. I certainly feel at home here - if only because its one of the few boards I've not been banned from yet! :teeth: People usually say what they mean here and that's always a good thing. Hot or cold. None of this lukewarm stuff! :thumb:

I appreciate you remembering our "ongoing" discussion, but please don't worry about it. I'm taking a bit of a break from message boards in general right now, and only popped back here to let folks know about this book (which I obviously recommend).

www.badfruit.ws will explain all about it. There's actually a lot more to it than just the title. I hope some people will at least be interested enough in it to order a free copy!

love in Christ,
Malcolm

Interesting change of subject. :smile:

About women wearing head coverings, I say what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11.

1 Corinthians 11:5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved.

in Christ,
Malcolm

Can a Christian Lose His or Her Salvation? by Greg Johnson Highly Recommended!
A large number of those who embrace Arminian theology tend to confuse the Reformed Doctrine of "Perseverance" with the Antinomian doctrine of "once saved always saved". This article clearly explains the difference.
Most Arminian arguments againt Perseverance tend to be against the unbiblical antinomian Once Saved Always Saved doctrine, not the biblical doctrine of Perseverance.

How can you guys believe in gods or goddesses in this day and age? I mean, you are discussing this in CYBER SPACE for pete's sake..

Do you really think there is a jeisus christ running around like some sort of leprechaun and that he's going to bring the chosen few a pot of gold? PLEASE. GROW UP.. There are no messiahs or ghosts or magic gods..

You are no different then the Hindus or the muslims. Your all the same.

Away ye trolls...

Yeah, and not only is there no God, but there is no grammar either.
