- It's because they were told they were already 'saved' and there was nothing else to do but just believe... Please show any scripture that supports " they were told" they were saved. As far as I know, there is no such thing and I would learn something new if you can provide that.
Sorry, but the requirement for you to answer why Jesus showed those five foolish virgins are turned away needs to be answered first. (And I think you know already that the OSAS doctrines preach that all one need to be saved is just believe on Jesus only, and when they do they are told they are saved right then with nothing else they need do. As of yet, we only have the promise of being saved through our Faith on Christ Jesus, none of us have been saved as of yet, for the redemption of our bodies by Christ is not until the resurrection, and the resurrection isn't past already is it?)
- not merely treat His Grace like a Houdini act when the time and situation suits us.
- Why is it that for a " Anti- OSAS" person, you always come down to such actuations. I have supported OSAS for a very long time and it always comes down to this: that I think I can sin all I want , to support my own purpose. No, sin I will but Paul said Romans 8:1.
- If Christ is in you, what does it mean there is no condemnation?
- Do you have Christ in you?
- Can you show me scripture that says He will leave you?
- Do you still sin?
Maybe you ought to go back to Romans 8:1 and actually read all... that very first verse instead chopping it up to read how you want, which is an example of the kind of Houdini act I was talking about.
Rom 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
(KJV)
Notice Apostle Paul applied a condition with that part in bold. That is, no condemnation IF we walk by The Holy Spirit and not after our flesh.
Can the believer go back to walking after their flesh after they have believed on Jesus and been baptized in His Name. Yes, and that's where the OSAS doctrine of man falls flat on its face. This is why Jesus made repentance of future sins a requirement to stay in that Walk with Him; which is why His answer to how to pray includes asking The Father for forgiveness through Him (Luke 11:4).
