That's true, but not all. That's not the only passage in the bible that deals with salvation. Belief and confession are not all that's required.

Baptism is in the bible for a reason but you and others ignor and/or disregard it and claim it doesn't mean what it simply says. Tell the Lord it's meaningless. 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...

Don't pray for me, you're the one that can't read and/or understand. Pray for yourself. Goodbye 👋

That is mixing issues. Sure, it's our part to go out and make deciples as well which is my sole purpose for participating on these forums, but don't confuse issues. I always contend that the various NT letters were not written to us, but to others and for others in biblical times and predicated...

Who was Jesus talking to when all these things were said? His deciples. You actually hsve to go back to the end of John 11:54, to see that. So, was the promise(s) to them? Did the promise(s) come to pass? If so, where is it recorded? Yes, these things did occur and it's recorded in Acts 1 and 2...

The Ephesians hadn't been immersed "in the name of Jesus Christ," per Acts 2:38 (by his authority) nor "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Mat 28:19 (by the authority of) and only unto John's baptism of repentance for the remission of sins but not in or by the...

Great! Believe what you like. Goodbye 👋

You can disagree all you like but it won't alter the simple truth.

Baptism is water baptism unless otherwise stated. Yes, it's predicate is John's baptism. Nothing changed except being baptized into the Lord for the forgiveness of sins as opposedto John's. The Ephesians in Acts 19 were initially baptized unto John's baptism but were re-baptized into Christ. Was...

You're delusional. It's a requirement of salvation instituted by the Lord himself. Mk 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. pretty...

It's the faithful part. We must do our part and remain faithful. That's the part you're missing. It's not automatic and it is a choice WE can make like any other choice. If we choose to deny Christ that's our choice whether it's done prior to or after initial salvation. If it were not possible...

My point was that we must remain faithful unto death as the scripture says and that if we do not remain faithful unto death, there would be no crown of life. This relates to the discussion at hand regarding loosing salvation and as some erroneously believe and have stated herein, claiming that...

Not sure what your point is. Please clarify the point you're trying to make.

Water baptism is NOT a work of "the Law". What "Law"? There isn't any. It's a requirement, a command that must be obeyed. It results from your belief and faith upon which you obey in order to achieve the promise.

Trick question? Belief is only the 1st step. The scriptures reveal belief alone does nothing in and of itself since even devils believe, right? Those that believed in the biblical record were required to do more, i.e., confess their belief, repent, and be baptized. It's only after you've done...

The scripture (rev 2) says we must be faithful unto death to receive a crown of life.

It is extreme to renounce Christ. If a Christian were to do so and become a Muslim, what would his fate be? Would he still be saved by the one who he renounced and put to an open shame again? The Hebrews were newly converted Christians who obviously had a problem of possibly reverting back to...

Your words alone mean nothing. The text is clear if you're able to read and understand. Believe what you like, say what you like, but it won't change the words of scripture. Goodbye 👋

I assume nothing. I'll stick with the text, all of it, and the logic inherent therein.

You do realize that Hebrews 10:26 is not the entirety of the Hebrew letter, right? Read the whole thing! And read all of 10 not just verse 26 as though it were a stand alone. Hebrews 6:5-6 "4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and...
