How is Romans 10:9-10.. NOT a sinners prayer? It's a sinner.. Talking with God...(that's alot of what prayer is) Confessing their sin.. Believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Most gospel tracts like The Four Spiritual Laws from Campus Crusade that have a sinners prayer...

Best answer I heard is some sort of self limitation. He cant no longer be God, or lose any attributes of Himself but He maybe could voluntarily limit.

You get alot of different responses here. Going to a bible believing pastor is the best idea. Anyway.. I say compare Romans 10:9 with Acts 10:28 and John 3:16

God knows our response to Him. How our heart is. Does He really need us to literally speak? I'm not sure but surely silent prayer would suffice

Perseverance of the saints.. if it was about eternal security... Should be 'preservation of the saved' ! 😀

Well the thief on the cross that Jesus converted.. Asked the other criminal on the cross.. dont they fear God? Acknowledged he was a sinner Knew Jesus had done nothing wrong Asked Jesus to remember him in the Kingdom. This shows this thief believing in Jesus. And Jesus also knew the man's...

Yeah just something I read.. lizard brain isn't in scripture..just a tendency in some to be in that mode more than think things thru. Happens to some with anxious thoughts Anyway.. it's the comfort of the scriptures to go to for assurance

A thing I read recently.. people sort of have 'lizard' brain.. where emotions and feelings can be too much..flight or fight..and then the other side is more nous.. logical.. reasoned. People tend to go into the lizard brain mode more than the other side. Gods Word engages both sides of the...

Yeah.. I know what you are feeling. My anxieties get the better of me. Sometimes I think.. am I really saved? Like you say.. I've prayed the sinners prayer. But yeah it's up to God whether I was saved at that point. Assurance though I see in Roman's 10, 9-10 .. John 3:16, 5:24 among many...

No just saying the OT system of faith in God had been done away with the New Testament system of faith in God. So it is service in the local church rather than the synagogue. Serving thru the ten commandments without the OT system of laws

I think we are free to observe the feasts but there is no New Testament commandments to do them. New Testament church system of the faith of Christ isn't about that. The other way to look at the feasts tho is knowing they foreshadow Christ and so can celebrate them that way I guess

Yeah have a look at the whole of the chapter around the verse. Then you get the context and find the real meaning. Romans 10 is a good chapter for supporting receiving Jesus as your Saviour. He doesn't become Lord .. top priority in your life straight away.. You receive Christ by...

I disagree because our spirit is in dwelt by the Holy Spirit when we are saved. So if we say we can leave Him... that is leaving something inside us. Like saying you can be unborn. Or no longer be biologically connected to your family. Of course we can grieve the Holy Spirit. And we will...

A human being has a body, mind and spirit. That is one being with three distinct aspects. There is also no point where a human being doesn't have these while being alive. This analogy is limited to describe the trinity also but it's another useful picture

Yeah I see. Seems with the oneness point of view .. sometimes Jesus is not God... sometimes is.. same with the Father and Holy Spirit. But the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have and always will be existing as God.

I see it as the one being God.. manifesting Himself in three images/expressions. There is probably problems with this view but I find it difficult using the term 'persons' because it makes me think of seperate beings. Anyway.. Jesus is God, so is the Father ..so is the Holy Spirit

You all heard of the Jewish concept of agency? Its related to when Jesus was doing things 'by the hand of the Father' and when He was talking about being 'one with the Father' The concept is along the lines of the agent of someone being 'as if they are the person' So it shows Jesus'...

There was a holding place for people .. one for saved and one for unsaved.. The saved person could not go to the unsaved persons place and vice versa. Hades doesn't always mean eternal hell.. it can also mean 'abode of the dead' The saved person would have been in Abraham's bosom... waiting...

What if your spouse leaves you?

Again have a look at the kind of sacrifice in the surrounding chapter.. You've got animal sacrifice. Where someone who used to sacrifice animals under the OT system can no longer do it to please God under the new covenant. If we sin willfully we cant go back to the old system of sacrificing...
