    Look, there is only one God, period. In the Old Testament Deuteronomy 6:4. In the New Testament John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 4:24 says, "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth." This...

    Bingo! That's why the angel of the Lord is not an actual angel. He's the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ. Did you not read what I wrote? Read it again. IN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, bluto

    Thanks for your answer! Let me first say that your "sort" of right. The "Shaliach" principle, or the law of agency deals with the status of a person (known as the agent) acting by direction of another, the principal, and thereby legally binding the principal in his connection with a third...

    Since you quoted Genesis 22:17 I have a question for you?

    What if you die before water baptism?

    I am not "assuming" anything. Your the "assumer" around here. Here is what Greek Scholar A.T. Robertson says at Acts 10:47, " Verse 47 Can any man forbid the water? (Μητ το υδωρ δυνατα κωλυσα τισ?). The negative μητ expects the answer No. The evidence was indisputable that these Gentiles were...

    Was Judas Iscariot saved?

    Well, according to Acts 1:25, "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." The Apostles recognized that Judas fell away by his own choice and by his deliberate, rebellious sinning. He went to his own place, that is, the place he had chosen, the...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    I was not aware that you knew the operation of one's mind! How do you know that the thief might have been baptized by John the Baptist at Luke 3:3 and Mark 1:4? What did he do get baptized and then got involved in a life of crime? :rolleyes: Of course The Great Commission was not in effect...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    You said, "Saul of Tarsus persecuted Christians UNTIL…he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Acts 9 He was blinded by a very bright light but Jesus talked to him and told him,” I am Jesus…” Saul BELIVED and asked Jesus, “What do you want me to do?” Tell me what I am missing in this thread? You...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    Well that's easy to answer! I'll just say, "It is not my call to make.... that decision is WAY above my pay grade," I would also add what James said at James 2:15-17, "Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and hopefully you will run into somebody that can answer your question? Does that sound...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    Wait a minute, I never said that one should not get baptized. I'm saying water baptism is not required to receive salvation. You then said this: "I will explain that to you when you explain to me why Jesus LAST, FINAL instructions to his disciples was:" Wait a minute, I ask you first to explain...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    Not at all, I just haven't gotten to it yet. Since you brought it up I will address your question? You said, "Because that was a one-off event that Jesus himself did. Name another person that was saved without baptism? We'll wait... Your the one saying, "that was a one-off event that Jesus...

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    :rolleyes: Let me put it this way, where in the Bible does a person who is facing death on a cross as the thief is come to the conclusion of getting water baptized before Jesus told him he had too? "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:42-43. Now, you do have...
