    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    You can word it to death and try to explain it away, but I'm simply citing and following the scriptures in a logical manner. It ain't rocket science.

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    Don't know who you "debated", but it definitely wasn't someone of the church of Christ, nor are coC ministers that stupid or scripturally ignorant. The coC doesn't believe in nor preach tithing as it's not a requirement of the NT. The bible does not define an amount or percentage but rather as...

    1 Peter 3:21 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy...

    Faith alone, faith plus works? Something is missing in this discussion

    Great! I don't care about "Church History" that people adhere to and believe in more than the actual word of God, or the so-called "Church Fathers" meaning those subsequent to the original apostles and their teachings captured in scripture. You can follow and believe whatever doctrine you like...

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    Yes or no 1. Do you believe that the scriptures teach belief and faith are required for salvation? 2. Do you believe a cording to scripture Romans 10:9 that confession of your belief is required for salvation, also confirmed by the example of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8? 3. Do...

    So what? Does that somehow validate non-scripture giving it the same or even more credence? Do the words of the did ache supercede the words of the bible? You can believe that if you like but I certainly don't.

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    Personally, I'm done with these scriptural fool's Lamar, who go to extreme and ridiculous measures to twist language and distort the simple truth, in vain attempts to justify an unscriptural position. They are not worthy of further consideration or continued dialog. They have no interest in...

    Faith alone, faith plus works? Something is missing in this discussion

    Scripture is Scripture not what some believe it to be. It was already quite apparent the early church of the bible was already experiencing problems and was starting to go astray bring influences by false teaching and doctrines. Why would we then think that the church and doctrines were not...

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    In the examples of the bible none of the conversions resulted after some extensive period of study. What does being a pagan have to do with anything regarding the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch? Nothing! So, what's your point? The facts are Philip preached Christ which preaching of the...

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    Your words are exactly that: just your words. Nonsense. Nothing to interpret in those verses of scripture, nothing to explain as they are self explanatory. I'm sure when people were preached the gospel in biblical times by the deciples, they had to sit down with everyone and elaborately explain...

    Explaining? They are plain English and need no explanation!

    Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the...

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    What was the gospel as preached to the Ethiopian eunuch by Philip in Acts 8? What did it include? What was exactly preached by Peter to the Jews on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 and what was the result as recorded in Acts 2:38-47? Between these 2 accounts you have the essence of the complete...

    Are gifts evidence of salvation?

    You don't even know what the gospel really is. I have nothing to repent of. I'm doing the Lord's work trying to correct false, unsaving doctrine such as you're propagating and opening eyes such as yours.
