Conditional salvation?

Matt 24:14 He who endured to the end shall be saved.
I looked over your list of verses and saw many were taken out of context and presented is a snippet form...
For example the very first one on your list....."Matt 24:14 He who endured to the end shall be saved."....One has to simply ask, in context, endures what? To the end of what? Is saved from what?

The above applies to the second of the three stages of salvation:

Salvation past = from God's wrath (Ro 5:9) on your sin, through faith alone (Eph 2:8-9),
Salvation present = Christian life of obedience in the Holy Spirit, which leads to righteousness leading to holiness Ro 6:16-19),
Salvation future = resurrection (Ro 8:22-23).

The Holy Spirit (Jn 14:16-18).
Partly true

Ez 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Where do you GET this stuff???

How do you come up with this? —it is baffling to me that someone would take what it does say, and claim it is talking about this other, with NO scriptural context that demonstrates the fact.

We might as well all go to a United Methodist church and listen to the Pablum being fed the sleepy members.
 
Members of Christ’s new covenant of grace by faith and baptism, united to the mediator and having union with God and His saints!

Phil 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

John 17:11
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

John 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

The divinity of Christ and the trinity are Christian doctrines, dogma, divinely revealed truth, those who reject them are not Christians and not in Christ or His apostolic church, (Matt 16:18-19) the new covenant of grace, the household of faith, the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3:15)
 
Live & walk by the spirit!

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

How do we live & walk by the spirit?

(Prayer)

Matt 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

(Alms)

Matt 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.


(Fasting)

Matt 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
