Who said anything about being saved by communion, or taking the bread and wine of the Lord's supper. Jesus is the one that said to eat and drink in rememberance of him. So, do you follow Jesus's words and partake of the bread and wine of the Lord's supper once in a while, or do you refuse...

So you do partake as oft as you do it.....?

If you believe in Christ and you have faith in Christ, and you are born-again, and Christ ordained before that you walk in good works, would you leave the church because you knew Christ expected you to be engaged in the building up of his kingdom, and you had to do something besides say that you...

It would be the same wine as referred to in the bible. Do you partake of the bread and wine on a weekly basis, in remembrance of Jesus Christ?

You are exactly right. We are under no intellectual obligation to accept what science says because they do not know either. Their theories are mostly postulating or guessing.

Do you not take the Lords Supper of bread and wine? (sacrament of the Lords Supper)

That is a fine response, but it did not answer the question. But thanks any way.

Sorry, VCO, do you wake up every morning in a contentious mood. Godsgrace101 says that we're all on the same side of the fence, and the unbelievers are on the other side of the fence. And you respond by saying, NO, only born-again Christians are saved. And then in ALL CAPS, you say, YOUR...

I certainly will not be judging whether a person is doing what the Lord wants them to do, there are billions of individual situations that are complex and for a normal man, impossible to adjudicate. So don't worry, I will not be the judge of anyone. There is, however, a sign that generally can...

Very interesting to see how different translations of the bible can push you down a different path of believing. Philippians 2:5-7 American Standard Version (ASV) 5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality...

Jesus is only going to be faithful to those that are faithful to him. Those that come to believe in him through the Holy Spirit, those who have faith in him, and are faithful to him in doing those things that have before been ordained for them to do. Jesus says that those that believe in me...

Paul tells us to be continually engaged in well doing. It is not a good work to believe and then we can go to the couch and watch TV until Christ comes. Right?

mailmandan says: So patient continuance in well doing, seeking for glory, honor, and immortality (verse 7) is not set forth as the means of believers procuring eternal life, but is a description of those to whom God does render life eternal. You are right, and those that think they are saved...

If we have a part in our salvation, why do you feel that we devalue the ministry, work, power and promises of Christ?

Thanks BillG, you are a good Christian.
