You are making no sense. Being saved (from sin), regenerated, being born again are the same thing. A nonbelieving person or agnostic can read the bible, become a believer, and also understand how to be saved/born again/regenerated, if you choose to use that word, etc. The word of God is powerful...

UFO maybe?

You better read the inspired word of God again, and again, and again, etc. if you think it's only for "God's born again children".

Then why would God go to the great lengths he did having inspired writers pen his word if not for uscto read, learn from, and apply to our lives using our hearts, minds and intellect? Your conclusion makes no sense.

Your comments are unscriptural, not correct, and are in direct conflict with scripture. Baptism furthermore is not a work. What exactly does that mean, a work? A work of the law? A work of the flesh as those listed in Galatians??? It's a command to be obeyed, and furthermore, everything and...

Agreed that water baptism is not for the purpose of priesthood, although priesthood is a byproduct, because those that are Christians are priests. Baptism, commencing with the baptism of John is for the same purpose. John's baptism was the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Luke...

We're NOT all lower case or any case catholic. The church is simply the church and it's Christ's church, Christian. UNIversal infers one; uni. We are not all one although we should be, but are divided by man's doctrines and traditions such as exemplified by the "catholic" and/or "Catholic" church.

No different or more special than others Jesus forgave during his earthly ministry such as the woman caught in the act of adultery. All done while Jesus was yet alive under the old covenant wherein baptism was not a requirement nor became one for salvation until after the death of Christ.

To wansvic: Here it is and also Acts 2:38. And you're missing a key point in your understanding. Acts 2:38 says upon baptism into the Lord you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, which is the Holy Ghost itself, NOT the miraculous gifts of the Holy Ghost listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, which are then...

as I said before, believe what you like. Goodbye 👋

There are translations that say "God is Spirit" not "a spirit". Even the interlinear in the Greek says God is spirit. There's a difference. The Spirit of God is separate from God. "The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters", not God himself, but his Spirit. And seeing Jesus is seeing...

That's not what I said nor what the scripture means. The "no more sacrifice for sins" is not talking about Jesus sacrifice, but rather the sacrifices under the old covenant. Read it again and slower and more carefully. Like Peter said of Paul's writings 2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his...

So called Apostolic Tradition when straying from scripture us exactly the problem and exactly what is warned about in the scriptures, adding to or taking away, or not strictly obeying thecword of God. You mentioned infant baptism as a tradition. This one, unscriptural, thing alone is a major...

Paul is reminding the Hebrews and refreshing their memories by comparing by comparing the old to the new. You have it right but it's not that the text is to the unbeliever but simply to the converted Hebrews because of the danger of their potential to fall away and the problems with the old...

The world is doomed, so everything is downhill.

You cannot justify wrong by time or the amount of people that adhere to it. Because there was a significant amount of time that had or has elapsed, and tradition established thereby doesn't justify what was going on if in fact it was wrong and inconsistent with God's word.

You've answered your own question citing Hebrews 6. Those once enlightened, meaning saved, and then falling away. A warning which to them was rejecting Christ after having accepted him and falling back to non-belief and traditional Jewish belief.

No it doesn't, not at all norvam I wrong nor the scriptures. The thief was forgiven mo different than the adulterous woman. It was while Jesus was yet alive, doing so under the old covenant not the new. Baptism was mot an issue for salvation then as it is today and should nit even come into...

The thief on the cross misconceptions Post #1 Post Thu Oct 20, 2022 5:10 pm I continually encounter people trying to justify that baptism is not an absolute necessity for one's salvation by use (erroneously) of the thief on the cross as justification, as he was not baptized but yet saved by the...
