Hi Nick, For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is NOT OUT OF YOU; it is God's approach present, not out of works, lest anyone should be boasting. For HIS ACHIEVMENT ARE WE, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them. (Eph.2:8-10) (We won't be eating…[Read more]

Nick, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'Grace seems to be to the saints”. I believe all salvation is of God, by His Grace, and Him alone. We have no part in our salvation, God chooses us, we do not choose Him. Nothing we can do can earn us salvation, “the flesh cannot please God”. Only when we are baptised with the Holy Spirit, and…[Read more]

The reason for this post was my interest in peoples opinions as to what they think is needed for salvation, there are so many different opinions, as in various denominations and/or just personal ones, what is yours?Blessings.

I think you misunderstood me, all wil be chosen at the consummation. All will be saved.Blessings.

All those that God has chosen are, and all will be at the consummation, the creation completed, when God will be All in all.Blessings.

Hi Nick, Yes!Blessings.

Hope I'm not imposing on space in this forum, but I would like to post another interesting article. I would appreciate all opinions. Thank you.THE GRACE OF GOD IN TRUTHThe words of our Lord in Luke 6:32-35 give us an illuminating illustration of true grace: “If you are loving those loving you, what grace* is it to you? For sinners also are l…[Read more]

Hi Nick, not sure what you are trying to say. Could you give some scripture where I can see to what you are refering too?Blessings.

Quote (seek and you will find @ Mar. 15 2008,06:21)Hello chosenone long time no hear, welcome back. I like to say something about the scripture you quoted. Romans 8 : 29  Did you not know that we are predestined to be called? But many are called but few are chosen. Question is chosen to be what. I belief that the chosen ones are the elect that…[Read more]

May I post this interesting article…Our salvation is not out of ourselves. We do not possess it because we have done this or that in order to acquire it. Consequently, boasting is debarred (Rom.3:27). This is because we are God’s achievement. “For His achievement are we” (Eph.2: 10a). We are saved because we are God’s achievement. It is just th…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 14 2008,14:07)Hi CO, The only difference is that CO, by a sad misconception, believes all men are being transformed into the image of ChristHi Nick, just to clarify my “sad misconception”, please have a look at Ro.8:29 …whom He foreknew, He designates beforehand, also, to be conformed to the image of His Son, ……[Read more]

Just scripture.

Hi Shania, WOW! that was some post. I read it with much interest, you did a lot of research and I commend you for the effort you put into it. I haven't digested it all yet, but I will make a comment on one part if I may. You say that in Genesis 1:27 that it says that God made us in His image. This is an incorrect translation, if you look in the…[Read more]

Wrong translation, see the “Concordant Literal New Testament” for a correct translation.viz. Rev 20:13-14 This is the second death – the lake of fire.Obviously a figurative example.Blessings.

Romans 8:8 Now those who are in flesh are not able to please God.Romans 8:28-32 28 Now we are aware that God is working all together for the good of those who are loving God, who are called according to the purpose29 that, whom He foreknew, He designates beforehand, also, to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be Firstborn among…[Read more]

No confusion, death is death, the absence of life. First, second. The “lake of fire” is figurative, it is the second death.Blessings.

22 For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified.23 Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence;24 thereafter the consummation, whenever He may be giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying all sovereignty and all authority…[Read more]

Hi Nick, The “lake of fire” is the second death, see Rev. 20:14-15. Then see 1Cor.15:26-27 “The last enemy is being abolished : death.Blessings.

Hi Nick, try a new search engine! 1Tim 4:9-11 …that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers.
