Eagleone replied; If one reads the text in the Greek one would understand that your salvation is secure in Christ.
ES I would love you to give this attention it deserves. I am going to sit over here in the corner eating my popcorn
Can't right now as I don't have my resources available, but maybe latter.
Why did you invite e-s into the discussion of which he was not a part?
You’re going to then sit back with your popcorn and watch the show?
That screams *pot stirring* if nothing else does.
Since Christ is not the weak link in this matter, I would invite Eagle to show us how saying a prayer that is nowhere to be found in God's word constitutes a contract with the Father that no matter how far we depart from his commandments, he is bound to invite us into his rest, considering especially that the Son has declared “He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.”
If we stray from his commandments, as have all of those promoting OSAS, and rejecting Torah, how can we be considered to have endured to the end? It seems that the requirement to be shown grace is to have confessed, repented, and begun the walk toward righteousness:
1John 3:7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
Our sole security is knowing that he has written his commandments on our heart, because we now desire to do his commandments.
How can one that not only has no desire to do his commandments, but vilely attacks those that do, have any such assurance? Wake up and smell the rot! .
