@NLDconservatief@PurdToaster@5Solas@OrthodoxChrist2 As an observer, that has not seen the Chosen, it seems as though that point is relevant.
We must fear the Lord.
We must preach the gospel to every creature.
“Beware the leaven of the Pharisees.”
If there’s a log in your eye; I don’t want to ask you for directions.
@Dat5thbassdoe@niclucylife What I said was a quote from Jesus.
If His words can lead me astray, so be it.
I’d much rather foolishly believe what He said.
@CarolynCalfo@TheBasedTrinity@dragodimitrov Did you notice the original question was about an evangelicals belief on salvation?
My response was a direct quote from Scripture.
What about that causes such defensiveness?
“Faith without works is dead” is not an argument against confessing with your mouth at salvation.
@DietAndy25@Austin_Mathew_ God promises that David’s house will endure forever.
That’s definitely talking about lineage and eternity.
Past that, what is genetics other than dust?
@Thevine_ntwk Whatever you have envisioned as “far in life” or successful;
The plans in a man’s heart are many but it’s the Lords purpose that prevails.
Be prepared to reframe your vision.
You reserve the right to grow smarter.
I’ve answered your query and declared the fruit of my works.
Only the Lord Jesus could save me.
For any sinners that may come across your engagement farming;
Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.
You will be saved
@TheBasedTrinity@dragodimitrov Which also brings me back to my question, “what do you need saved from?”
He rewards everyone according to what they have done.
What have you done?
Are you righteous?
I most certainly am not.
I am in need of a savior.
@TheBasedTrinity@dragodimitrov Because my familiarity with Scripture is lacking; would you be so kind as to point me to the verse(s) that refute the original statement while simultaneously supporting yours?
It would be good to become familiar.
@TheBasedTrinity@dragodimitrov Conversations come in many forms.
Not all answers come in straight lines.
If following the template you prescribed is the prerequisite for engaging in further discussion; respectfully, I decline.
If you have an answer to my question, I’d be happy to circle back to yours.
