Does Galatians 6:9 contain a causality that could imply works salvation? I think you answer is very interesting, and pointing out flaws in assumptions is certainly a valid way to answer concerns in a passage... So +1. But I'm not sure that Paul is not arguing with a people who are saying you have to merit salvation by doing the works of the law is consistent with 3:2-5 or 5:4-5 |

What are the possible interpretations of 1 John 2:19? Anyway, I think this is a great answer. So would a conditional security friendly paraphrase of the passage be something like: They went out from us, but they left the faith and were not of us anymore. Because if they were still of us, they would have remained with us, but they left so that it would be revealed that they left the faith. |

What are the possible interpretations of 1 John 2:19? What I actually meant was that CS laypeople often hold the "whoopsie" position. Edited my comment to clarify |

What are the possible interpretations of 1 John 2:19? Regarding common CS positions, I'd agree that the doctrinal stance among CS teachers usually (but not always) tends towards what you described. But the "whoopsie, where'd that salvation go" view is pretty common (in my experience) among CS laypeople. I've known a lot of people who have been under the impression that if they sin, they lose their salvation until they can ask forgiveness (ask someone whether suicide is a mortal sin, and this view comes out). Perhaps the conception of these people is what the ES folks are targeting. |

What are the possible interpretations of 1 John 2:19? Thanks - so if I understand, the "would have" in the NASB is not necessarily supported by the Greek? |

What is the difference between “righteous” and “just” in the NT? @swasheck, here it is: christianity.stackexchange.com/a/6894/971. I don't think you were unclear. After I read it a second time, I wasn't sure how I had come to the conclusion I had... Also, you should be able to see the full original question (which includes your quote) in the edit history. |

What is the difference between “righteous” and “just” in the NT? Based on @Mallioch's answer, I think I misinterpreted what swasheck wrote. Rephrased the answer accordingly. |
