    Is it too late?

    Well speaking for myself I may be old fashioned, I believe the bible but I am not legalistic. I believe the bible.

    Is it too late?

    No. When you kiss the ring of the pope you are saying that he is your superior, your lord. You are showing total submission to him.

    This has been answered in another thread, but you still have your eyes closed.

    Saved by Water

    Actually since Christ Jesus was a Jew then on the eighth day he was circumcised. As far as your wanting to add your work to the already finished work of Christ Jesus well that question has been answered many times in this forum. If you do not wish to accept the truth of scripture then I am not...

    Saved by Water

    I had started to write a response to this but then I thought why bother. You have had many people point out the error of your views but to no avail. I interacted with another Oneness Pentecostal and we went through all the same scriptures that you keep going back to. He, the same as you, could...

    predestination vs freewill

    You will never be conformed to the image of His son unless you are saved. If you think that God only calls those that are saved you have warped view of God. God loves the world Joh 3:16. Christ Jesus draws all to Himself Joh 12.32. If God only called your select few then all those that were not...

    predestination vs freewill

    Since faith = trust in something or someone. You have the HS indwelling them before they trust in Christ Jesus.

    predestination vs freewill

    But what does the text say "He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son" We are not predestined to be called. Question for you If we have already been elected as some say then why does God have to call us?

    predestination vs freewill

    I think you are missing the point of the text. God knows all that will come to faith in Christ Jesus. And those that do come to faith are predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus. God, through creation or the gospel calls all men to Himself. Some reject the call others do not...

    Saved by Water

    As I said before you have placed your salvation on a work that you do. You do not trust in the finished work of Christ Jesus. So when you stand before God and He asks you why He should let you into His heaven are you going to say "because I was baptized or because I trusted in the finished work...

    Saved by Water

    What you are missing is that in each case is that they all believed first. What is the condition of having your sins forgiven it's FAITH. (Joh 3:16-18) When you insist on baptism as a requirement then you are adding a work to salvation. You are making man the decided in their salvation. If...

    Biblical Eternal Security vs 'Calvinistic Eternal Security' -by Gregg Jackson

    Your own words show that man has a free will. "What happened was the devil DECEIVED him into believing that there would be no consequences he is in effect saying "go ahead you may freely partake of the tree, you have freewill in the matter, you won't die" " Your choice of words show that man...

    Saved by Water

    Repentance and faith are God's requirements for salvation (cf. Mar_1:15; Act_3:16; Act_3:19; Act_20:21). Jesus said "Unless you repent, you will all perish" (cf Luk_13:3; Luk_13:5). Repentance is God's will for fallen man (cf. 2Pe_3:9, Eze_18:23; Eze_18:30; Eze_18:32). The mystery of the...

    Saved by Water

    Your not answering the question are you. Lets try once again, Who forgives sin, man or God? It should not be that hard a question for you to answer.

    Saved by Water

    And what exactly does that have to do with John 20:21-23. Are you saying that man can forgive sins? Yes or No.

    Biblical Eternal Security vs 'Calvinistic Eternal Security' -by Gregg Jackson

    So now your saying that made is held responsible for things he has no control over. What kind of theology do you have. You have made God sound the same if not worse than satan. What is wrong with your logic. Step back form the edge and take a serious look at what you espouse. Man has...

    Biblical Eternal Security vs 'Calvinistic Eternal Security' -by Gregg Jackson

    Perhaps you should look at the text in context. What did God say to Adam? For that we can look to Gen 3:17-19 Gen 3:17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the...

    Saved by Water

    This is a followup to the last post. Here is a way to illustrate what the verse means. The disciples go out preaching the gospel, announcing on what terms sins would be forgiven, and if these terms are not accepted, sins would be retained. Some people repent of their sins and receive Christ...

    Saved by Water

    If you think that man can forgive sins then you are, off your rocker. Only God can forgive sins. I have seen numerous times where people have read into scripture what they want to find but I must admit I have never had someone claim that mere man could do that.

    Saved by Water

    This is the only answer that I will give you, accept it or not. Question, who can forgive sins? Luk 5:21 Who can forgive sins but God. God forgave sins of the paralytic Mat 9:2 God forgave sins of the sinful woman Luk 7:47-48 If God can and does forgive sins then who are you to question Him...
