So is this the "love" you were calling for on the gospel thread? You just recently attacked me on another thread for suggesting that Nang doesn't know the gospel. You implied it was not loving. Hence, you condemn yourself as a hypocrite. That should not be so.
I believe love speaks the truth.

He doesn't, in my opinion. However, you turn your personal perception of "love" into a law and then subjectively measure yourself and others by that standard, denying Christ's sovereignty and rejecting the gospel. Maybe it's time you stopped teaching and started learning, madam.
The bible says that the law of Christ is faith...(new covenant)The bible says that faith worketh by LOVE...(new covenant), and that it does not harm his/her neighbor. It is not harming someone to tell them their error, in love.
If you would stop and consider why those like John W, Nick, and others keep condemning, blood bought, believers, you might understand my frustration...they have condemned me..to hell. Until you sit in my shoes..do not think you have a right to speak in my shoes.

El:
He's not attempting to decide how long a person takes to apprehend the gospel. That's a ridiculous assertion. He's warning others about a person he perceives is threat to babes in Christ, and I agree with his perception.
yes; a person he perceives...by his own understanding of what the gospel is. It is not what he claims it is.
Jesus did NOT demand we have all this head knowledge to be saved. We are told to grow in grace..AFTER we are saved; we do not have to understand anything other than Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Ya know, it wasn't too long ago that you were on this forum truthsmacking godrulz, too. Just because you had some grand revelation from god that hurt your conscience and caused you to apologize and "reptent" of discerning a tree by its fruits, doesn't give you the right to demand that others do it, too.
I did what I did, for the same reason that I see many doing what they do on this board..they read someone else's words about someone and believe it, over the OWN person's words..
I was guilty of doing that; I admitted it..and, yes I was sorry, so I apologised publicly.
I believe God does convict our spirit..and, lead us to a right understanding in all things..you cannot judge what He has led me to see...no more than John W or Nick can judge me..or Godrulz..it is God alone that gives increase..the false type of increase on these boards are coming from the teachings of men; NOT God.
That is my opinion, and I will speak it.
It may get me banned..I don't know, but I would rather be banned than to sit here and read lies and once again, go about and do it myself..once again.
If anyone read godrulz OWN words on what he believed about the DBR of Jesus Christ there is no way they could say he was not saved.
OSAS is NOT the gospel. Adding the law back into the gospel makes faith void..as God's word plainly states.
Many do it..they fall from grace. You cannot fall from what you are not in...just as Israel was the people of God; they fell...when they brought in the law for a purpose it was not made...God said He would graft them in AGAIN...but, while they are cut off..they are cut off...they will be saved...IF they do not remain in unbelief.
We can have assurance of our salvation, ONLY when we are not in a wrong message. Law and grace do not mix.
I had to learn the hard way on that...myself, and I am not ashamed of my past..it led me to where I am today...and, hell can freeze over and I will never stop speaking the truth of the matter.
I agree with you on alot..but, some things we do not agree...the thing is..I have never denied the gospel, but daily I get falsely accused by those whom SURELY do not know what it is, or else they would not tell me to get saved.
