Do really think that the complete requirements are always stated? They never are nor does it make sense when considering the context of the various letters and who they were written to and why. The various documents are not a and were nor considered to each be a textbook which is why you must...

Romans 10:9 is equally true and also a requirement but not as a stand-alone scripture. When you consider all pertinent scriptures related to salvation, you end up with the following short list of requirements 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and...

You can read a lot of things, the vast majority of which is false. The scriptural fact is, you're not saved, meaning your sins have not been forgiven, until you were immersed in water, baptized. Acts 2:38 makes that 100% clear. Also the scriptural fact is you receive the gift of the Holy...

Not even close to the same thing. I've been a member of the coC for nearly 50yrs.

I'm simply reading, obeying, and applying the scriptures which is not misunderstanding, disobeying, or ignoring as you choose to do.

Following the clear commands must not be confused with works so-called. Everything we do here requires physical action and such actions that are done in the form of command must not be confused with works of the flesh or of the old law which is no longer in force. To call baptism a work as some...

But in order for Christ to do something it requires first us to do something by our being obedient.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The simple fact of the matter is you must do them all in order to be saved.

It's available to the whole world but that doesn't mean the whole world is saved.

The scripture cited defines only one of the requirements of salvation, that of belief. When all pertinent scriptures are taken into consideration as they should be and not just cherrypicking only one, you end up with the following composite list of requirements for salvation. 1. Belief and...

Here we go again. Another person that either can't read or chooses to ignore the clear word of God. Baptism, according to the scriptures, is a part of the salvation process. Without being baptized, you're not saved nor are you a Christian pr member of the church, the body of Christ.

I read your opening post and you're not quite right. What you've stated will not save your soul. When ALL pertinent scriptures regarding salvation, you end up with a short list. 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of your belief 3. Repentance 4. Baptism, immersion in water, fire the...

It would be no different than praying to a dead squirrel. Is it OK, sure! Does it make sense? No. The bible says all Christians are saints. The bible also says there is one mediator between man and God and that's Jesus Christ.

Repost The unforgivable sin answer is in verse 30 of Mark 3 as relates to verse 22, insinuating that Jesus is in fact aligned with the devil or Beelzebub and his spirit is unclean. Mark 3:22-30 22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of...

Think what you like, but make careful comparisons to the bible, our guide fir everything, when considering the church, how it's organized, how it functions, what it teaches and believes, and most importantly of it adheres to the scriptural plan of salvation and can really save souls. You can't...

It's upon belief that you must take action however, and OBEY the gospel. So it's more than belief which is only the start.

Regarding no musical instruments, the reason is because there's no record of musical instruments used in New Testament worship. And the basic philosophy is to speak where the bible speaks and remain silent where it is silent. Personally, I enjoy the a capella singing with no instruments. One...

FYI; I've been a member ofvthe church of Christ for nearly 50 yrs and it is 100% scriptural based. You are saturated with scriptures during sermons and not opinions, nonsense, or man made-up ideas.

To your point of the post, you must also consider the foreknowledge of God and predestination which go hand-in-hand with election. See below for consideration. Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all...

we all become part of the body the same way by being baptized into it which is the new birth. There are no scriptures that define how you place membership with a different configuration, as that really wasn't an issue back then nor should it be now for that matter. And all the local...
