can A True Christian Commit Apostesy?

You are correct it was written to Christians but it was written about the lost. The Gnostics believed that the inner person (soul) and the flesh could not touch and because the inner man was the real person what the flesh did had no claim on the inner person so they denied that they had ever sinned. That made them lost. As to being sinless satan always has to add to or change intent. Saying thta which has not been said, but I am sure you understand that.

 

That's absolutely WRONG.

1 John 5:13

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

 

Hello drfuss,
NC = New Covenant......padeos believe there is an outward administration of the covenant of grace[the visible church]...that is someone can be said to be in covenant with God,,,,but not necessarily saved. They teach that a person can break the new covenant.
They teach that only those who are in the invisible church alone are saved.
So they believe a covenant breaker is a church member who becomes apostate.

 

Ann believe what you want.

 

Thank you. I knew that they believed in three categories of people: heathen, covenant people, and those who are really saved. Of course they believe the really saved are a part of the covenant people. I never heard it expressed as breaking the covenant.

Thanks again.

 

Freeatlast, you might want to change your name. It is evident that you aren't free at all, with the holier-than-thou attitude you portray in most of your comments you seem to be bound up by pride. You remind me of the "Church Lady" in Dana Carvey's skits.

 

Robert I can't say i know anything about those skits, but I thank you very much for your opinion. I will certainly pray about what you have said.
