Since we're talking "on the record", how about you show where I espoused a theology of "one and done" (whatever the heck THAT means)?
An A+, with honors, yet!? I'll bet you do. However, your grade was for articulating what I SAID was the gospel, not your combative, imaginative interpretation of what I said. There's a BIG difference. I grade you with an F - failure to even read what I have been stating on this thread, along with Scriptures to back me up, and a failure to defend your accursed gospel. There won't be a retest until and unless you open your heart to the truth. However, when you stand before the King of Glory, you can explain to Him why you rejected His grace and did it "your" way.
CHURCHES aren't in heaven. PEOPLE are.
FWIW, when you post Scripture verses, you really ought to include the references.
There are many of us who know them, but I'd say there are many more who are lurking who don't.
If someone wanted to read those passages in context or more thoroughly on their own, it would be a help to others to post the references so they could look them up.
The OT states that marital relations make men and women unclean.
Leviticus 15:16-18 “If a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening. And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening. If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
Observing that the modern day Judaizers don't follow the Law they claim we must is not mocking Jews or the Torah.
Beautifully done.
av: Oh, are you in favor of the ordination of women also? Which denomination/sect do you represent that supports the ordination of women ?
OK. Help me out here. Just what the heck does that conversation have to do with the ordination of women?
WHY on earth did you drag that into the discussion?
There is no scripture that backs up anything you have posted.
Your misunderstanding of scripture is the source of the confusion.
1John 2 is the clearly worded demolition of all you have posted.
Paul’s epistle to the Romans, and his epistle to the Hebrews, back John up to the hilt.

>> “When you contend that no one can have assurance of their eternal salvation until they die...” <<

Strawman after strawman, when will the fallacy stop?
Assurance comes from enduring in faithful obedience to the end!
Anything less yields the reverse.
“The faith of many shall wax cold...”

Elsie, who you keep failing to courtesy ping when talking about him.
Elsie, who is of Jesus Christ.
This one sentence of yours shows so clearly what I keep saying about Catholics.
First off is that they cannot wrap their minds around the fact that we do not follow men, human leaders. And yet Catholics continually claim that we do that very thing. We follow Jesus.
Our identity is not in our denomination or who that denominations is named for, but our identity is in CHRIST, who died for us to save us from our sins. HE is the only one who can do that. No denomination has the power to save.
Which leads to the second point, that is that this is one of the primary reasons people do not share their denominational affiliation. The minute people do, Catholics, who LOVE their labels and will instantly pigeon hole anyone the minute they can, lay the whole weight of a denomination's teaching or practices on the shoulders of the individual and hold them accountable for the whole thing.
Than you for such a beautiful example of why not to share denominational affiliation.
Rules for thee, exceptions for me.
Where would Christianity be without Paul? Seems to me that he was a tool used by the Big Puppeteer to assist taking the Good News to Gentiles...like me.
So what happens to someone who does not follow the Law as you see it?
Are they saved or not?
I answered you here.
It is not a matter of salvation. More a matter of obedience and love.
1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
It's not speaking as a madman. It's beautifully put.
Do all Catholics agree on every point of Catholic doctrine?
Which is really a rhetorical question because we all know the answer to that.
The very thing that you claim invalidates sola Scriptura, also invalidates *sacred tradition* and your so-called *infallible magisterium*.
No replies yet?
Let me know if you ever get an answer to your question.
It’s been asked before and has had no takers.
Staggering, isn't it?
af:Pop quiz to help you explain what I think your version of the gospel is:
That is the most irrelevant response I have seen in a long time.
And just how does that litany of questions explain what you think her version of the gospel is?
All it is, is questions directed at her, deflecting the conversation away from what SHE asked.
