Can a Christian lose their salvation? Or, are there former Christians?

    I completely agree with you, it's very important to mingle with other Christians. And i do. I have many Christian friends, some of us get together for Bible study when we can. I know i would never find the "perfect" church to go to, but for me i'm very comfortable just meeting with my friends. And believe me, we all don't see eye to eye either, so we have some very interesting conversations! :)

    Ha! I guess so. Look at me and Quantrill today, so hot under the collar. But he's still my bro in Christ. Nothing changes that.

    Dont fall into the same trap that the atheists try to use, where they keep using many words & tail-chasing over many posts, thinking that they can win the arguement by wearing the other side out. [​IMG]

    Using the same lingo as in "Name That Tune, " I can make my point in 3 (posts)! [​IMG]

    Everything beyond several volleys is but trying to verbally arm-twist the other side into submission, which usually ends with bad feelings & with name calling.

    I praise God for that sister. Thats encouraging. And when you meet with your Christian friends, you are the Church.

    He's convinced I did it on purpose. Or he's using it as an excuse to digress. Either way, he plans on keeping up this charade as a shield against any further debate.

    No, that was me responding to a post by another and it was falsely labeled as you already falsified. And that is the result. Confusion. See, how your actions snoball.

    When you see the green light after my screen name it means that I am not only here but also vivedly participating.
    When you don't see the light it does not mean that I am not here, it only means that I am not participating.

    Really? Are you wanting to continue the debate or are you just trying to draw me into silly semantics again. I'll assume the former and remind you that post #54 was the last post of any substance relating to the OP. Meaning, it's your turn.

    Thanks for clarification.
    The answer is the same, - to participate.

    I am also very interested in your posts related to topics. I find them very refreshing on this subforum. I also find your ideas and readings worth of understanding.

    Why do you think I am still here?

    Oops! My bad. Missed that little guy. You'll find no dispute that the initial act of grace is by God and without that, nobody can come to Christ. So yes, we are saved by grace. But that translating into being unable to revisit that decision is where the disconnect is. When did this happen that man lost his free will?

    No, we are not talking about grace. We are talking about faith. God gives man the faith. Faith is a gift.
