ECT We are made perfect by redemption, however,

[Cross Reference]

Such perfection not acted upon is no redemption at all. cf Col.1:28-29 KJV. But, "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" Romans 10:14 (KJV) Given this, might it not be said that the gospel is as much a warning as it is the "Good News"?

Acting upon the gospel is to believe it and confess it.

Great! Now act upon the "perfection"!

Perfect salvation of Redemption, handed you on a Golden platter, is the Gospel. What you do with it is the question. Will you work it out in you with fear and trepidation or not? Redemption is a gift without asking for it. Salvation is not.

Paul is calling for those who will preach the Gospel.

"And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:15)

False teaching, no scripture says that!

In fact, all for whom Christ died, by that redeeming death alone for them, they have been perfected forever Heb 10:14

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Hey, let's just crash jam a bunch of passages together! What on earth does Col 1:28 have to do with Rom 10:14, or what do they have to do with being perfect. I thought at least you would take up the question of that expression in Hebrews where it is used over and over, but actually means justification; ie, it never was intended to mean personal perfection.

Why, when "Personal" Perfection redeemed you?

What you do with it is the question.

I will rest. I will reckon myself seated with him and dead to sin.
