Indicative or subjunctive

Assuming that the translation of Scripture from the Greek was done with the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit and in the proper context.

"Shall be"
"Shalt be"
and
"Wiil be"

or not the same as "ARE"

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16: 15 – 16, NKJV)

is very much different from

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized ARE saved; but he who does not believe ARE condemned” (Mark 16: 15 – 16, NKJV)

Are = present indicative
Is = present indicative
be = present subjunctive

I found this word subjunctive intriguing.

sub·junc·tive
Of, relating to, or being a mood of a verb used in some languages for contingent or hypothetical action, action viewed subjectively, or grammatically subordinate statements.

So one could conclude that

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16: 15 – 16, NKJV)

implies

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized is contingently saved(or hypothetically saved); but he who does not believe is contingently condemned (or hypothetically condemned)” (Mark 16: 15 – 16, NKJV)

So what are these contingencies?

or one more definition is in order.

will

1. Used to indicate simple futurity: They will appear later.
2. Used to indicate likelihood or certainty: You will regret this.
3. Used to indicate willingness: Will you help me with this package?
4. Used to indicate requirement or command: You will report to me afterward.
5. Used to indicate intention: I will too if I feel like it.
6. Used to indicate customary or habitual action: People will talk.
7. Used to indicate capacity or ability: This metal will not crack under heavy pressure.
8. Used to indicate probability or expectation: That will be the messenger ringing.

So when it says "will be saved" it really means that God is expressing a forecast(futurity) of one being saved, and of a likelihood or certainty ofbeing saved and willingness of wanting you to be saved and intention of you being saved and you have the capacity or ability to be saved and a probability or expectation of being saved along with some which has some contingencies applied to it.

So is Salvation guaranteed with absolution? NO!

Your Salvation is hypothetical and is contingent.

So I ask what are these contingencies?

Read the New Testament and you will find almost a hundred of these contingencies.

 

P.S. all grammer information gotten from Dictionary.com

 

Based on the above statement, if we hold fast, we are contingently saved.

THAT IS RIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE A PRAYER OF BEING SAVED. Holding fast is one of the many contingencies.

Do you see why the OSAS is false doctrine or the Assuredness of Salvation is a false doctrine.

 

I seen this at some Catholic Forums, and it usually comes in the form of this:

I'm already saved (Rom 8:24, Eph 2:5-8)
but I am also being saved (1 Cor 1:8, 2 Cor 2:15, Phi 2:12),
and I have the hope that I'll will be saved (Rom 5:9-10, 1 Cor 3:12-15).
Like the apostle Paul I am working out my salvation in fear and trembling (Phi 2:12),
with hopeful confidence in the promises of Christ (Rom 5:2, 2 Tim 2:11-13).

Assuming that the translation of Scripture from the Greek was done with the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit and in the proper context.

With that being said. We as christians are not required to know the Greek. It have to make the safe assumption that those that translated from the Greek used the proper English in the proper Context.

So what ever the Greek form implies is not pertinent.

Unless of course one wants to say that the only real way to read scripture and understand it as God intended is to learn Greek and read it in the original Koine Greek. Which is not a plausible reality. So we rely on those that did the translation to use the proper english grammar rules when applying from the Greek.

Do you read or write Greek? I don't. And I really don't trust Greek lexicons, since the person writing it is fallible and prone to personal interpretation instead of reality.
