ArchivedOSAS revisitedAineo, you need to stop with the slanderings, it is sickening. The lexicons and dictionaries are what defines the meaning, not me. You simply want to ignore them in context. This paragraph deleted for violation of Forum Rules. If your only defense of OSAS is to resort to childish trantrums maybe you need another enforced sabbatical. Characteristics of a born-again believer:
And for nearly the tenth time, how do you reconcile this comment from your previous posts: Then claim that Billy Graham and Mel White and others have already become apostate, if your definition of apostate equates to the "loss of salvation", then your at a loss because your argument not only displays fallacy but conflicts with sound doctrine. Paul taught apostasy or the falling away from the faith, he did not teach that those who actually "fell away" were in FACT saved. Then you have the audacity of saying that I denigrate the Holy Spirit and Jesus? That is called slander. You have YET to prove that those who have "departed" "fell away" (aphistemi) once possessed Salvation which has been my premise from the get go. The only passage that states that a "believer" can actually depart from their belief is found in Luke 8:13, and even that verse does not validate that those who "fall away" actually once obtained Salvation. The word for "believe" is (pisteuo) and is found in James 2:19 where it states that the demons also "believe" (pisteuo). Now you can argue that no demon is going to confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, however that argument is faulty because the same can be said about a person that believes (just as the demons) while not confessing with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, then "fall away". Furthermore, the demons of Gadarene fully acknowledged with action that Jesus is "the Son of God" (Matt. 8:29). I certainly hope that in your next response that you will not continue with accusations but stick with the topic "Salvation" and whether or not one can lose it, which BTW you have yet to prove. God Bless! |
