Philippians 2:12 (1)

I was asked about the meaning of Philippians 2:12 by email in connection with a discussion of Once-Saved-Always-Saved. The person asking the question doesn't believe this false denominational doctrine and heard me use Philippians 2:12 to disprove it. I'm glad for the opportunity to give the verse a more focused discussion as its true meaning will do nothing but build up and strengthen the honest truth seeker.

Jesus Was The Vine ISRAEL, Not CHRISTIANS Were The BRANCHES. Mathew-John Describing Jesus B4 The Cross Is OLD TESTAMENT.Mathew 5:17-18 Mathew 7:12 Mathew 1:21 Mathew 10:5-6 Mathew 7:12 No Gentile Salvation B4 The Cross. John 4:22 Ephesians 2:11-12 John 1:29 John 3:16 Talking About The Old Covenant World Of Israel.Jesus Only Took The Sins Of Faithful Israel Away B4 The Cross. John 6:38 John 7:16 Verses 2 John 9-11 Acts 2:42 Galatians 1:6-9 No Other Gospel Than The Apostles. acts 2-Revelation 22

Hey John Candy, how do you reconcile Eph.2:10 "4 we R HIS 'WORKmanship', 'created' (who does the creating?) in Christ 4 good works, which God PREPARED (who prepared?) beforehand that we should walk N them" & John 15:5 "I am the vine, U R the branches. He who abides N Me, and I N him, BEARS (not produces) much fruit; for w/out Me U can do nothing."

Can a Branch Produce Fruit? No, it only BEARS fruit PRODUCED BY THE VINE - U can do NO-THING w/out ME, which means NO-THING, including your works.

This video clearly demonstrates that Norm and Alexander Campbell are and were "perverters" of Holy Scripture!

Many use the word "saved", but normally is used in the place of what should properly be called "Justification". Justification happens BEFORE one works OUT their salvation,otherwise they couldn't work out their salvation because they would have no salvation to work out. If a person isnt Justified,the the Holy Spirit doesnt reside within that person. therefore God wouldnt be "working in" that person. so vs.13 wouldnt apply to someone working FOR their salvation, rendering your exegesis faulty.

[spellbiff]

Work OUT your salvation..."Work out the Salvation you have obtained." it doesnt say Work FOR your salvation..go on to verse 13."for it is God who works IN YOU, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." If you arent saved already, God will not work in you as far sanctification goes. Obviously it doesnt mean you work to earn your salvation. Look at Phil 1:6 "And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
