@2ndTimothyGroup Thanks for the replies. I'll have to post that 3rd thing later. I've run out of time for the moment. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Because of the "big grin" at the end, I'm not entirely sure how to take this post. Was my posting taken as an honest example of maturity? or was that being said sarcastically? The reason I ask is because of that "strange blindness" mentioned earlier. I might call it "compliment blindness" in...

David, I've got 3 things on my heart to talk to you about. All will be said/asked/mentioned in respect, not argument. One is an outright compliment (this one). One is asking your help in an area that I've realized I'm strangely blind (the next one). And the last one is an "I think you...

I've been thinking about your accusation suggesting I "want to earn salvation" both in the quoted post, again in post #136, and the follow-up questions of post#139. What struck me this morning is that the accusation and follow-up questions of Post #139 aren't because you think I could teach...

Someone once said "People read the bible one of two ways...either to confirm what they believe, or to conform what they believe" If you read to confirm, the bible will only become a canvas upon which you project Self. If you read (and pray) to conform what you believe, then God will start...

I think my current favorite example of this is the way Jesus handled the issue of racism when he was confronted with it at the well in Samaria: "Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no...

Very well said. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I just gained a lot of respect for you by reading this and your prior post. (Not because of the support to wansvic but of your use of discernment and clear explanation of exactly where and why you agree, and where and why you disagree, with wansvic) Love in Jesus, Kelby

I was just starting to browse through recent postings (there are a few I should reply to) when this one stood out. And I want to share an experience concerning God's love and his desire to give to those who could not receive based on their own faith. (but will have to do that after taking a nap...

That is an awesome statement! Not that you have cancer but that you used your situation to support and clarify your statement... And you keep good humor. KUDOS! Love in Jesus, Kelby

@Wansvic Regarding Matthew 28:19 KJV "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" : It is written: "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses...

I perceive that you might hold the "Salvation must be one-pieced and/or instantaneous" doctrine that this thread is meant to shine light upon. What makes it tough is that I see a love and zeal of God in you, same as @Blain, and I don't want to offend either of you. That makes it tough for me...

@2ndTimothyGroup , That's also why baptism is not a "work of righteousness which we have done". It is a submission to HIS righteousness...because HE is the one who prescribed it.) "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John." - John 1:6 KJV "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to...

Don't let "the reward of physical dipping" be mistaken for "the reward for faithful submission" (to obtain the promised result). "Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage...

I was contemplating that idea of water baptism opening the eyes. In short, I'd have to say I disagree because I can think of several scriptures relating to the SPIRIT opening things to us... guiding us into all truth; showing us things to come; bringing all things to our remembrance; teacheth...

.... wow.

Hi David, I read both posts and again they cover quite a range. I'll just comment on the following quotes (both from the same paragraph) because they seemed rather important in idea and simple enough to address. I agree that it takes faith to 'cause' a healing. But I don't think that is the...

Where in that post did I say anything about earning salvation? Love in Jesus, Kelby

@oyster67 (regarding examples) I'm asking for something like either of these biblical accounts: "Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: [15] Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they...

Two comments: I take it you skipped the FIRST, THEN, NOW exercise(?) I'm guessing you can post several Billy Graham videos showing where someone is "asking Jesus to be Lord of his life" (followed by Billy Graham telling them they've received the Holy Ghost). BUT... can you provide a single...
