@dj2becker saidYes. There is a group of Christians called the elect of God, who are born of God. They cannot sin.
Do you believe Christians exist that never sin?
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:8-10 KJV)
@rajk999 saidBy the way without the Holy Spirit you don’t belong to God. Not something I think worth boasting about.
I have made no boast of having the Holy Spirit. I have never condemned others outside of Christianity, by stating that they will face eternal torment. You have done that .
You can therefore called into question because the Holy Spirit did not guide you to teaching the commandments of Christ. your words are still full of vague church doctrine and in no way resembles what Jesus preached.
So I say again you are a fraud.

You've told me I'll burn in hell.........

@rajk999 saidYou seem to know many things only Jesus would know, according to you.
I dont know. Do you? Only Jesus will judge that.

@kellyjay saidI dont need to tell you what I have or dont have. You however have a need to tell people about your Holy Spirit. A clear sham since you never speak of the commandments of Christ.
By the way without the Holy Spirit you don’t belong to God. Not something I think worth boasting about.

@rajk999 saidSo you mean there’s no assurance of salvation?

@dj2becker saidYou continue with the cross-questioning. You have a point? Make it. Provide a reference and we can discuss it.
So you mean there’s no assurance of salvation?
@rajk999 saidYou’re sounding a lot like ThinkofOne now.
Yes. There is a group of Christians called the elect of God, who are born of God. They cannot sin.

@dj2becker saidI see. Another church doctrine without proof.
The point, in case you have missed it, is that according to what you are saying, there is no assurance of salvation.
Ok then .
@dj2becker saidI quote the bible, which answers your question and i sound like someone who is not a Christian? Little do you realize that you are condeming yourself and Christians who apparently have gone astray with church doctrine so badly that they do not accept the bible anymore.
You’re sounding a lot like ThinkofOne now.
@rajk999 saidConsider 1 John 5:11-13: "And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life. I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life"
I see. Another church doctrine without proof.
Ok then .
@rajk999 saidYou have a tendency to quote things out of the context of the scriptures as a whole.
I quote the bible, which answers your question and i sound like someone who is not a Christian? Little do you realize that you are condeming yourself and Christians who apparently have gone astray with church doctrine so badly that they do not accept the bible anymore.
@dj2becker saidOh .. ok good. Assurance of salvation is for a specific group. All Christians do not fall into this group.
Consider 1 John 5:11-13: "And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life. I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life"
