Are we allowed to believe the bible itself, which states there are a bunch of other writings and prophesies by bible-acknowledged prophets when those works are NOT included in the collection of books chosen by some group of men to be bound into a volume called the "bible" (a volume that was...

God was pretty ingenious in his handling (and separating in time) of these matters. GOD sent John the baptist to establish the way of the Lord (Water baptism for REMISSION of sins, [perhaps you say repentance for remission]) slightly BEFORE Jesus' earthly ministry began... and He established...

Not that I have high hopes that you'll agree, but he had already mentioned the spirit baptism in the verse before. Prior to asking God about that one, I'd thought it couldn't mean anything but the same thing you do. Ephesians 4:4-5 KJV There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called...

The word "AND" is not a word of replacement. Jesus said we are required to be born of water AND of spirit. One is NOT a replacement for the other. We are to receive Baptism in Water AND Baptism in Spirit.

Baptism ISN'T a work of righteousness that WE do. Baptism is done TO us... but only if we "accept" (submit to) the gospel. Love in Jesus, Kelby

NOTE: Post has been updated, perhaps after replies were made.

Only if they accept the gospel to the point of submission TO it. The gospel includes repentance (change of heart) and baptism FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. That last part has to be done by a man sent of God, Hence the admonition: John 20:23 KJV Whose soever sins YE remit, they are remitted unto...

I see this being overlooked by MANY, so I'll just say it here as a point for all. After Jesus' resurrection, as Jesus was sending his disciples to baptize, Jesus told them YOU are being given the power to REMIT OTHER PEOPLE'S SINS and if YOU don't remit THEIR sins then those people's sins...

You're the first person in the BDF that I've seen who recognized the connection between the Rev 22 account and the Proverbs account of the SAME principle about not adding to God's word. It's also stated in Deuteronomy(?) but I don't remember the exact wording to look it up right now. My...

EXACTLY!

What I said IS respect. But I'll forewarn you that I'm currently debating how to handle you. You COULD be answering this because you want to be helpful to me or Katia... or you could simply be giving another negative reply. If you're truly a kid (child, youth, minor) as your name implies...

Prov 1:7 is not talking about a general fear of being near God. It's talking about being afraid to knowingly do something that is hurtful in his presence (because of knowing how God hates evil). Micah 6:8 is saying (similarly) that God is LOVE and love does no harm to its neighbor...so you...

@HisKid Now I have a question for you. Are you able to see my answer as showing honesty and wisdom... or do you only see evil? Because if you only see a person as speaking evil, it is hard for that person to share wisdom, no matter how much they have or how honestly they share it. Love...

Somehow I knew someone would ask that. I almost dismissed it as slightly absurd like the question of "On what will you trip next?" BUT, in thinking further I have a LOT of incomplete and possibly errant doctrines. For example: It seems that some things existed before the creation... Like...

BTW, this thread is not a battle of one person against another. It's us against errant or incomplete doctrines, of which we all have at least a few. Whoever says otherwise is like that man that says he has not sinned. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Your statement earlier was that a person's deeds could NOT be accepted by God until AFTER a person is "saved"... Yet, in this quote, you are stating that Cornelius "was saved WHILE Peter was preaching the gospel". But His deeds were accepted by God BEFORE Peter preached to him. Your doctrine...

Two salvations? That's a new one to me. I'm not generally agreeing with it because I'd say that anything instant plus any/all things that take time are all part of the single and complete salvation God is offering us...And some people decide they only want part of it... BUT... there is also...

I guess I could/should have included this other foundational statement in the false category when comparing it to the Cornelius account. Acts 10:4 KJV ...Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. Acts 10:35 KJV But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh...

I like the beginning of that explanation because it sounds good, but at least one of the base premises is a wrong assumption. And it only takes one scriptural example to highlight it. Here's the faulty premise that you presented...: And the scriptural example that shows it is wrong is...

FreeGrace2 asked for the explanation. I gave the explanation. That doesn't mean many people are going to believe it. Love in Jesus, Kelby
