Weeell.. Matthew 18, vs 15-18 are about resolving sin issues.. so it would follow that 19 also is about this.

Another part of this.. We have the Kingdom of God The Family of God The church of God They aren't the same. Family comes inside the Kingdom Church comes inside the Family The church.. being the institution of the local church. Singular word standing for all of Gods churches. Like 'the...

Well look at the surrounding verses.. They are about resolving sin issues with other believers. So.. the binding and loosing.. is about church discipline. Check Mathew 18 In particular verse 19 Its God approving a process of disciplining a sinning brother

On a side note there were always Christian churches that didn't need to reform.. around before Catholicism and kept a biblical faith all thru. Course I'm speaking of the protestant reformation History has records of these Christian churches .. mostly calling them heretics because the history...

Have a look at the 'where there is remission of these.. there is no more sacrifice for sins ' .. Check the context.. what kind of sacrifices are in this chapter ? I think you'll find its animal sacrifice.. So if some one trips up in sinning.. they can't go back to the OT system of...

Christians can be deceived.. still have a sin nature even though saved. But the Holy Spirit will encourage and rebuke them to change.

Where I get annoyed is when people might say.. they aren't doing good works so they were never saved to begin with. I believe that the presence of the Holy Spirit in someone's soul will bear fruit in that persons life.. but that may not be completely obvious to someone looking at them from the...

When Jesus died on the cross.. He descended to the holding place of paradise.. that held those awaiting to be resurrected from the dead.. they got resurrected and were seen alive afterward. So before Jesus ascended to heaven he set free those waiting

If you have had sin forgiven and you can't be perfect.. how does then sin undo eternal salvation? The Holy Spirit will convict and rebuke a born again person ... but not no longer forgive them. Forgiveness undoes the power of sin over our lives. If Jesus doesn't forgive future sins .. we...

Yeah that's right. Well then every believer is an 'unassembled assembly'

Here is a thought... Where in the bible is every believer called 'the church' ? Matthew 16:18 has Jesus referring to the church.. but this would be in the sense of the institution of the church... of local and visible churches plural. Why? Because Jesus refers to local church discipline with...

Yeah... born of water and the Spirit Water.. water of the womb Spirit... born again later having recieved the Holy Spirit.. John 3:16 and Romans 10

Water... water of the womb.. natural birth Later... born of the Spirit at salvation. No water baptism involved.

Yeah that's not committing the unpardonable sin. In the bible, when blasphemy was being referred to in Matthew 12:32 .. Notice.. who is Jesus talking to? What were they doing ? Because I think you will find Jesus was talking to unsaved Pharisees and they were attributing Jesus' work to the...

Born again... John 3:16... Roman's 10...believing in Jesus that He is God and that He died and rose again, that He can forgive your sins. Baptism... by full immersion in water. After salvation. Declaring you are living for Jesus publicly. Someone could believe and be saved and get baptized...

In talking about faith and works, you gotta look at the context of what kind of faith is being addressed. * There is saving faith * There is on going through your life acts of faith They are not the same thing, and the going thru your life faith doesn't determine saving faith. Saving...

Baptism in water by full immersion-- not about eternal salvation... happens after being saved.. not for infants Baptism of the Holy Spirit-- can't see any scripture where it is about eternal salvation.. can see scripture where it is about God empowering assemblies of believers as His churches...

Ya in New Zealand we have the Methodist church embracing mysticism. Integrating the Dalai Lama's teachings into worship and also deemphasising the deity of Christ.

Yes David had the Holy Spirit empowering his kingship... so did other OT kings.... that's one example.. there are many

Yeah, if you believe that Jesus died and rose again to save you from your sins and you have asked Him to forgive you of your sins.. then you are saved eternally. And yeah.. that He is God. Romans 10: (Rom 10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart...
