Featured Ye reject salvation by grace !

I never said that I base my salvation on what I have done. My salvation is through Christ's blood on the cross, not of anything that I have done. I have faith that He paid the price for my soul. As it says in Ephesians, and which you agreed to: By faith through grace, and not of ourselves.

I asked the question: does not scripture say, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." You said that it does. I said that I have called upon the name of the Lord; and you now say that I base my salvation on my own works.

I merely asserted that I obeyed scripture -- which, by the way, was the premise of your opening post: Obeying the command to "come."

Either I obey scripture, or I reject it. Which would you have me do?

Asked and answered. Let he who hath ears, hear.

 

What did you DO to get saved?

 

Scripture says that we are saved by His sacrifice on the cross. Scripture also says confess with the mouth, believe, and call on His name, and you shall be saved.

I have obeyed scripture. Are you telling me now that I shouldn't obey scripture?

I have been straight up with you with my answers; yet you won't answer this one. Do we follow the commandments of scripture (per your opening post: "Come" and now, Romans 10), or do we reject those commandments?

 

When and how did God reveal your salvation to you? Please share!

 

Of course it's important. You're basically telling us to reject Romans 10. If we reject that scripture, then we must know what the alternative is.

 

As I said in my previous message, we are saved by His sacrifice on the cross.

Now please answer the question: Are you telling us not to obey Romans 10?

 

Sounds mystical, even existential, to me.

 

I agree.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

 

Please. I have posted nothing contrary to that, so your statement that I do not believe it is childish. Are you God, that you may know the hearts and minds of other men?

The truth of the matter is scripture: He died on the cross that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. He sacrificed His life for those that believe; those that believe not shall not see life, but the wrath of God abide on them.

Obviously from scripture, the answer is not "everyone," but "whosoever."

But Romans 10 says "confess and believe, and thou shalt be saved"; it goes on to say "call upon His name, and thou shalt be saved"; then it explains that we can't call unless we've believed, and we can't believe unless we've heard. So why do you rail against what scripture plainly says?

 

Your question is not a "yes or no" question. I already answered; so either you didn't understand the answer, or you need to define what you mean by "everyone."

 

In Romans 10 Paul did not qualify the words "whosever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved" but simply stated those words in regard to preaching the gospel by men (Rom. 10:13-16).

God has not called you or me or anyone else to qualify the words "whosover beleiveth" but rather called us to preach that to those we share the gospel with. Nowhere, does the Bible ever qualify "IF you are an elect, this gospel is for you." I dare you to find such a qualification.

My point is that you more worried that the non-elect won't be saved that you must qualify what the scriptures don't qualify. Instead we are simply to proclaim "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" and let the Lord save whom He will.
