Thank you sir! Yes much of what James writes about is what we do with faith already given to us through salvation. Not that if we don't build on our faith we lose salvation.. or that we were never saved to begin with. Like you say.. a saved person will have fruit from being saved.. but self...

He is referring to Himself. Peter's name in Greek is a small piece of rock... Jesus name is a big piece of rock. Petra and Petros.. can't remember which is small and big. If that isn't enough to establish it is Jesus.. Jesus has His local assembly (NT church) before Pentecost, in action...

You gotta go to the Bible and see how it defines what the gift of tongues is. That is it. Go to Acts 2... go to Corinthians.. seek it out. Also go to concordance and read the context. That's all. Don't rely on opinion. Only Gods Word.

Regarding the 'fiery expectation of judgment that will consume the adversaries ' from Hebrews 10:26-31. First again.. context of sacrifices in this chapter is mainly animal sacrifice, being the system of service in the OT that failed as people started to believe that doing the rituals actually...

Inheritance in this.. is about rewards.. those who have built on the fath.. been faithful have greater rewards than those who were saved and then got in the cares of this world. Why? Because scripture does not contradict itself.. compare Galatians 5 with John 3:16, 3:36 and 5:24. And also in...

Yeah that's one good picture of 3 in one. There is also the light prism.. the various shades of colours coming thru a prism from one light going into it.. with variations of 3 colours. You also have ice, steam and liquid. An egg has yolk shell and flesh. There is 3 in one all thru creation...

Regarding 'if we sin willfully, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin' First.. believers sin willfully alot! If not thru deed.. in their minds! Believers who post in this forum probably spend significant time on the internet. I think that is a fair assumption. Therefore there is...

I don't think calling them essences or expressions is heretical. It's different terms for the same thing. If each of the 3 is fully God .. and God isn't changing from one to the other like modalism... then there is no difference. I don't like persons only because it makes me think of 3...

One TRIUNE God. There is no 3 separate beings here. But expressions/essences of the one God. The Bible has Jesus being around before He was in human formation as one with the Father as the Word. The Holy Spirit is God's Spirit, which was there at the same time with the Father and the...

Yeah.. like most names you'll see variations. Independent baptists are distinctive by each church being completely independent of any other organisation. They might help eachother out as churches but not part of each other. It's trying to keep to the biblical model of NT churches.

Okay.. independent baptists have similar doctrine to the Waldenses and Paulicians and Donatists. Immersion baptism only of believers and not infants. Re-baptism of those who were baptised in false churches. Seperation from the state and independence of the local church, salvation by grace thru...

Have a look also at some what some ancient christians believed (beware though-- some of the writing about them is from there persecutors who call them heretics even though they were mostly sound, pure in the faith): -Waldenses -Paulicians -Donatists

It was translated a very accurate way base d on sound texts.. considered one of the most accurate translations to the original texts. It does though have church of England influences with some previous Bibles having 'congregation' and 'assembly ' and not the word 'church '... I think they...

Okay... that makes me a little less hung up on the use of persons

Yea i see it as one being God.. expressing Himself in three expressions. I know it isn't the best analogy.. because it makes Jesus an 'expression' but i don't like the word ' persons ' because there is no separate beings like 3 gods

(John 4:23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. (John 4:24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:25) The woman saith unto...

God's Spirit is the Holy Spirit

The Father is greater than I.... Jesus says this.. and then guess what? He ascends! He is then one with the Father ..equal. So Jesus isn't inferior

They may not be the same.. but they are not seperate. Jesus didn't come down as the Holy Spirit to empower at Pentecost.. but Jesus did speak to the churches in Revelation as well as the Spirit. Also in Revelation.. Jesus is referred to as the same terms as the Father.. the alpha and omega...

Okay well here is the verses: (John 10:34) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (John 10:35) If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; First thing-- gods is small g.. indicating Jesus isn't talking about...
