Yep. Grace is ultimately required. That's God's part, after we are obedient and do ours.

Your words. You don't know what you're talking about. And the baptism with fire HAPPENED. Read Acts 1 and 2 which discusses this; and it happened to the apostles. That's not the norm nor does it happen today.

Read the original Greek in the interlinear. The word is "eis" used in both Mark 1 and Matthew 3 for "in" and "for". There is no inference of what you're suggesting the wording means. It's clear, so clear a blind man could see it. And you continue to cherrypick scripture. Do you really think that...

Yes it's s command and by being obedient and fulfilling it remits sin. Being disobedient and not fulfilling means you're still in sin, and if in sin you're not saved. Pretty straight forward.

The work of what law is baptism?

There is no such thing as "works salvation" as relates to baptism. It's a matter of obedience. If God says do it, you either do it or not. And in the case of baptism, it's a very obvious command, so, do it or not. Your choice.

You make no sense, and you still don't understand the significance and distinction between the old covenant and new as relates to the thief. Even if the thief was baptized previously, it would have been unto John's baptism, which was and is not the same as being baptized into Christ. All those...

Here's a repost if mine from elsewhere on this forum whuch should clarify for you the misunderstanding you have of the thief on the cross Also, baptism is an absolute requirement of salvation. REPOST I continually encounter people trying to justify that baptism is not an absolute necessity...

It's not infividual baptism of the Spirit as referenced in Acts 2, that is simply the indwelling of the Spirit which as stated, baptized believers receive per Acts 2:38 Gift (singular) of the Spirit or Holy Ghost. And no, it's not John 3:3-10, but rather Luke 3, and specifically verse 16 which...

We, each, receive the gift of the Spirit individually per Acts 2:38. That is not the baptism of the spirit such as in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. That and Acts 10 are 2 unique events that happened twice per the scriptures in this unique fashion and doesn't happen today. The Holy Spirit...

Actually, your question should be rerestated to say they should teach that fornication IS marriage, since it constitutes the joining together of the flesh: that IS marriage in God's view and according to his word.

Once saved always saved is inconsistent with scripture. A simple read of Hebrews will confirm this as it contained clear warnings to the newly converted Hebrews regarding falling away and its consequences.

Simple answer is in Acts 2 :38 which tells you when we individually receive the indwelling of the Spirit: the same time we're baptized, at the point that our sins are remitted and we're saved and added to the body of Christ by the Lord which is his church per Acts 2:47. Born again. So therefore...

Just one statement you made, copied below, which I assume you are referring to Acts 2 and not 10, because you then cited passages from Acts 2. In both cases, the Holy Spirit fell unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands first, and did so as a sign to those present as heavenly...

Yes. Acts 2 and 10 were not the norm but unusual exceptions for an unusual reason: to start the church, so the Spirit fell as a sign to those present, to validate the event. No other time recorded did the Spirit fall on anyone in such a manner unilaterally or without the laying on of the...

Just for further clarification, prophesy was in biblical times, the words that God specifically told the prophet to say, not the prophet's own, not paraphrasing God's words, but God's specific words. Also, interpretation of scripture, as your earlier examples here were, are not prophesy. It's...

Likewise. Before I became a Christian many, many years ago, I was invited to visit a church of God, and kind of on queue, everyone started blabbering incoherent nonsense at the ssme time for a while, and then they all stopped. That was it. Totally rediculous and unscriptural. Needless to say...

You can't be saved while still in sin and aren't, and sin is remitted when you're baptized into the body of Christ. Read Acts 2:38

Yes, I think you ARE dreaming for sure. It's not people, us, that dispute it, it's God's word that does. God is who disputes it.

Also, Jesus is seated at the right hand of God
