OZOS wrote the following on another thread:
"FACT #12 NO ONE received eternal life until AFTER Jesus sent the Holy Spirit.'
According to the lord Jesus the holy Spirit would not be sent until the Lord Jesus departed the earth:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you" (Jn.16:7).
So according to SOZOS while the Lord Jesus walked the earth no one received eternal life.
If we believe the words of the Lord Jesus we can see that believers were receiving eterna llife at the time He walked the earth:
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (Jn.5;24).
The Greek words translated "believes" and "has" are in the present tense which means that when the Lord Jesus walked the earth those who were believing had eternal life right then and there. The Lord Jesus also said that those believing at that time are "crossed from death unto life." Let's see if OZOS will actually address the words spoken by the Lord Jesus at John 5:24.
According to the Lord Jesus believers were receiving eternal life while he still walked the earth. But OZOS would rather make the Lord Jesus a liar than to admit that he is wrong.
