Not to belabor the point of who it's addressed to solely, but the answer can clearly be found after his preamble and letter opening statements which takes up the first 2 chapters; then in Hebrews 3, he starts by a continuation of his opening statements by saying the following in Hebrews 3:1...

Enlighten me. What does it say? When you consider these in total, which are all relevant and related, what do they say?

Not in the bible there isnt

And the way you get the gift of the Holy Ghost/Spirit is on accordance with Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Yes. It's old covenant and mot applicable yo us today as Christians.

"Christian nation" is a misnomer as it implies all on that nation are saved individuals. And murderers are murderers. Unless they believe, confess belief, repent, and are baptized, they are lost. There also is no such thing as last minute salvation upon your death bed. It still requires the...

The answer to what it is can be found at the end of those passages, verse 30 of Mat 5

Simple answer, yes.

A repost of mine from another forum that covers this subject and more. Matthew 16 analysis - Peter being the first so-called pope and provided with the keys of the kingdom Matthew 16:15-19 - Catholics erroneously use these verses, and primarily verse 19, as rationale and justification for...

Your premise is a bit skewed. Belief doesn’t equate to being a Christian. Also, read the warning to the newly converted Jews in Hebrews 6:6-7 regarding falling away which still is applicable if one does this today. And murderers can be saved. Jeffrey Dahlmer was saved while in prison. He was...

Yes, but you 1st must be saved (from sins committed) then repent for sins subsequently committed.

All negative. It's viewed as an abomination.

Hebrews is clearly written to Hebrew Christians, those newly converted to Christ, as can be evidenced by the wording and warnings within the book to those converted Jews. It also sounds very much like Paul stlye of writing.

Its a false doctrine.

The new covenant began with the death of Christ. Read Hebrews 9:16-17 16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

The miraculous gifts have all ceased or have vanished away and no longer are required. And yes, we now have the bible to guide the church and not piece meal gifts.

Church doctrine should be solely founded upon God's word. If not, leave that "church" immediately.

Absolutely. Scripture only. There are sufficient warnings in the bible for not obeying, and adding to or taking away from the word of God.

Once. You're baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Afterwards if you sin, repentance is necessary, not re-baptism.
