Not following the point you're trying to make, but what I stated is clearly correct, corroborated by the text of the scripture itself as well as all other scriptures. Likewise, the Corinthian letters were written to THEM Not us, Ephesians likewise. Galatians, likewise, and so on. Do they have...

Peter became a Saint the day he was baptized just like all other believers then and now. All Christians are saints when they become Christians, baptized into the body of Christ.

Yes; and Hebrews is one of those letters that is best to read the whole thing from the beginning in one sitting to keep it in context. People never seem to realize that the scriptures weren't written to us today, but to them back then 2000 plus yrs ago, addressing their issues of the day. When...

Just keep believing and following imaginary man made-up false doctrines and you'll be just fine. Goodbye 👋

?? The shepherd IS the elder scripturally. What is this so-called "LEADER" called? What is his scriptural title? And who appoints him? The scripture says elders should be appointed, not elder. And how does God say "you should lead this people"? What you're describing is not biblical.

I've thought about this a lot because scripture does not and cannot contradict itself or does one supercede another as this case could suggest if not looked at correctly. So, what does Mat 28:19 and Acts 2:38 mean?? See my short review of this below which I've previously shared here and...

Read my previous post to another individual, which applies to YOU as well. Post #197 on this thread. CHRIST IS NOT A "That", and if you think he is referred to as such by the scripture in question, or should be referred to as "THAT", you really need to rethink things. Read the post which I...

I see scripture as it's written and without pre-determined bias. Goodbye.

You got it wrong. The Spirit comes to dwell in a person without the laying on of the apostle's hands according to Acts 2:38, upon baptism; we all ger the gift of the Spirit itself, but not gifts. So it's not as you've indicated but the laying on of the apostle's hands were in fact associated...

Actually, Jesus did 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. belief + baptism = salvation

Let me ask you as I've recently asked another person recently who pointed me to a scripture that many adhere to which makes no sense.. What exactly is "that which is perfect"??

In Acts 6, why did the apostles lay their hands on them? Wasn't prayer sufficient to "commission" those chosen? The laying on of the apostle's hands was for a reason, and it wasn't "commissioning" which is not mentioned and your reasoning. Acts 5:12 is included simply to show that it was the...

That holds true for all the scriptures: who were they written to, when, and why, and once that's understood, what can be gleaned from them and what applies and how it applies to us today.

Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God? Yes or no.

I've posted the scriptural justification for that conclusion previously but will repost the scriptures again. It's not my opinion but simply looking at the scriptures and what they say to which there are no other scriptures that say or suggest otherwise. REPOST Stephen was already a baptized...

Do you really think Christ is or should be referred to as a "that"??? Christ is not a "that". Referring to him in such a manner is ridiculous and this is not what is meant by "when that which is perfect is come". Below is a part of a study and commentary on spiritual gifts which also addresses...

The kjv says "since you believed" and the Greek in the interlinear says "having believed" which in both cases is a different connotation than "when you believed" which implies it happens or happened immediately and upon belief only which it didn't. Note that in verse 6 of 19, even after they...

So, one scripture ignoring all rest that establish additional requirements forms the basis for your belief? Lots of luck with that.

Has nothing whatsoever to do with me, my feelings, or opinions. It's simply a matter of what the scriptures say and where that leads you. My point in my response to you was predicated correspondingly as the Romans 8 passage says exactly opposite of what your statement said. Romans 8:29 29For...

You obviously didn't read any of the cited scriptures which say exactly that. Read Romans 8 cited above.
