So you think that even though they are told that they have eternal life in the Son (1 Jn.5:11) that their salvation is not a done deal?
I'm just going by what I read in Peter.

So you are saying that those who received John's epistle had a done deal in regard to salvation but those who received Peter's epistle did not have a done deal?
What about this passage from the pen of Peter?:
"Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you" (1 Pet.1:9).
Go ahead, sort out the above by Anderson so that it says what YOU are clearly reading INTO his words.
I didn't say either of those things, did I?
I don't know, Jerry. I'm trying to understand why Peter does not say the same things that Paul does. True, some things sound similar, but not as the "already done deal" that our salvation is. Nothing about being baptised by the Spirit into the body of Christ....or being created IN HIM as new creatures. Why is there such a difference if they are the same thing?
In what sense will believers never die?
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die" (Jn.11:25-26).
Hi Jerry , and why is the CONTEXT is Jewish ?/
And in verse 24 where Martha says " I know he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day , IS WHEN ??
Dan, the reason the context is Jewish is because the Lord Jesus' ministry was to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And the resurrection referred to is the resurrection which will take place on the last day prior to the coming earthly kingdom.
However, when Israel was set aside then the Jewish believers received a new inheritance when they were baptized into the Body of Christ. Now they will be raised up at the same time as all those belonging to the Body of Christ:
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).
For some reason you are under the impression that not all of the first century Jewish believers were baptized into the Body of Christ.
Why do you think that only some of them were baptized into the Body? Surely you can give verses from the Scriptures which support your view. I will wait for them.
Here is what you said:
Do you deny that in the following passage that those who received Peter's epistles had a salvation which was a done deal?:
"Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you" (1 Pet.1:9).
The subject I was discussing is the fact that the gospel of Paul, the gospel of grace, was preached to those who received Peter's epistle:
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Pet.1:18).
Does that not speak of the gospel of grace?
Or is it the gospel of the kingdom?
So you're refusing to answer my questions again.
I didn't say either of those things, did I?
Hi and in Acts 18:4-8 , Paul was preaching to Jews !!
You asked a question and I answered it. Here is your question:
Then I quoted you saying those things. Ask me another question and I will answer it. Then I will ask you a question.
Fair?
You quoted me saying this, but you didn't answer anything.

What's in "bold" answered your question:
Really?

So what's your point? I am having a difficlt time understand what you said in your last post.
Sorry!
Yes, really! To recap, you said in "bold":
To your remarks about the salvation of the Jews not being a done deal I then said:
So you are saying that those who received John's epistle had a done deal in regard to salvation but those who received Peter's epistle did not have a done deal?
What about this passage from the pen of Peter?:
"Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you" (1 Pet.1:9).
Then you said:
Again, you did say the following:
Peter said the grace that "should come", as if it was a future event.
The prophets "prophesied of the grace that should come." Peter was not speaking of grace coming to them in the future. In fact, Peter described them as being the people of God (1 Peter.2:10) and then later in the same chapter he tells them that the Lord bare their sins in His own body on the tree (1 Pet.2:24.
Peter also told them that they were redeemed by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus and that they are "born again"!
How can you even imagine that their salvation was not as much as a "done deal" as the Gentile's?
