    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    That is correct, we then have to have Christ is us and we in Christ so we can be freed from the bondage of sin. So we repent and God forgives, but then do we continue in sin Romans 6 King James Version (KJV) 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    We find the following will happen at the end... Revelation 22:11 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. So do you think sin will be part...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    We cannot just keep with the same character full of sin and iniquity, and continue as its slave doing the bidding of Satan. Christ is clear that we have to become free from the bondage of sin, and be righteous or we will not be going to heaven: Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Yes, they can claim they believe and "talk" like they are Christians, and yet... Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    I didnt say that, what the issue is iniquity or sin, Christ will set even the Christians aside who continue in iniquity, and they will not be in His kingdom. Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    The key here is "should not perish" and yet many who say they are Christian will perish, as even the demons believe and yet they know what is coming for them. James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

    How do we walk in the Spirit, not the Flesh.

    John 8:1-9 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    He wrote the Commandments with His own finger, so we have what it means to obey. We can see that we by nature are all servants of sin and Satan, and that as soon as we submit to Christ, we become loosed from Satan’s power, free to obey our Master "unto righteousness".

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    How would you read this verse.... Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    Sheol represents the place of the dead, where both the dead righteous and the wicked go, the grave. No physical, mental, or spiritual activity is possible there because it is never linked with life or any kind of existence, but exclusively with death. The story of Lazarus was a parable, the Jews...

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    ....There are no indications that the soul of Lazarus, or of the other six persons raised from the dead, had gone to heaven. None of them had a "heavenly experience" to share. The reason being that none of them had ascended to heaven. This is confirmed by Peter's reference to David in his speech...

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    Well, the early church believed in the resurrection of the dead with a bodily restoration and fought hard against the pagan belief that the immortal soul went to the underworld immediately after death. But today it is the inverse, and the pagan belief has crept into the church, and become the...

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    In ancient Rome, the pagan priests also picked up and spread purgatory to the pagans, but as a belief in the early church it was not immediately picked up. From earliest times Greek religious beliefs were a strong influence in Italy, and the Graeco-Roman world was essentially one in its...

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    We have this "doctrine" from the Roman Catholic Church.... 'III. THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY 1030 All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    The answer to the lawyer in the story of the Good Samaritan comes to mind.... Luke 10:25-37 King James Version (KJV) 25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    And yet if we remain just "talking" about Jesus and dont do the close walk with Jesus, obeying His commandments, then what? Christ makes clear that at the end, that those who claim they have Christ and yet "heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not," will be surprised. Matthew 7:22-27...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    Many people know about God, but less actually are converted and follow God. As Christ did at Gethsemane we must set aside all and follow Gods will. Jesus came across someone who asked this same question: Matthew 19:16-17 "16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing...

    Does the day of Christ resurrection tell us to worship on Sunday?

    Please give me the text where Christ says that He negates the Sabbath and puts in Sunday, there are none....He came to show them the purpose which He gave the Sabbath, as the Jews had lost sight of it and had made it a burden with all their rules and extreme legalism. As for gathering daily...
