You may think I am fighting against trust in Jesus tooth and toenail, but my last sentence says different. I want to adhere to both scriptures. I want to trust in Jesus and I want to keep his commandments. I believe a wise man will follow that path. Scripture for the first sentence is by...

God will judge us on whether we believe in His Son Jesus Christ. He will also judge us on living the commandments of His Son Jesus Christ. Do we have to live the letter of the commandments or do we live the spirit of the Law of Christ. We live the spirit of the Law of Christ. No man can...

Not according to John 15:2 John 15:2 King James Version (KJV) 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Notice that the branches that Jesus is talking about are branches that are IN HIM...

Then you also got baptized because Jesus communicated His plan of salvation clearly in the word of God that we needed to believe and be baptized in order to be saved. Mark 16:16. I suppose you were baptized? If so, you followed the right path.

I'm sorry it shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely essential to be damned. He makes it crystal clear that it is absolutely essential for you to be saved, because he puts both believe and be baptized before the word saved. If belief is all that is necessary, Jesus would have said...

I am not the one trying to prove myself right. I just ask him to go and do some research and he will come to the same conclusion that I am right. If you don't think so, then tell me where I am wrong. I will discuss all you want.

Are you kidding? If you figure, because your pastor told you that you are saved no matter what you do because Jesus is there to forgive you immediately, you don't think that the human thought pattern would be, I'll do it and then Jesus will clean it up for me and I will be alright. I know...

Its a good thing that God does not deal with everthing that is wrong in our lives at a snap of his fingers. That is one reason we praise Him.

Paul is talking to the Roman brethren. Because he calls them brethren, I am thinking they are saved individuals. It does not matter whether Paul is talking about Jews or gentiles or individuals. When he says that God will cut you off unless you continue in His goodness, I, as an individual am...

You are not a lot different than other people. We all have our sinful natures to deal with. Jesus has given us the solution to our daily sinning and that is a sincere repentance process. If we repent, he will forgive us our sins, and we can remain clean. The problem comes, when a person...

Don't be kicking the dust off your feet over me, I believe in Jesus Christ like you. But, interpret this passage of scripture? Acts 8:14-17 King James Version (KJV) 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and...

It is based on what I say and it is also based on what you say. I have had many discussions with Christians that tell me they don't have to go to church because they are not under the law any more and do not have to get circumsized or observe feasts and sabbaths. Wow, it is out of hand what...

Thanks for reflecting the question. You could have said something like: Well, these people believed and were baptized by water first and then they were immersed by the HS later by the laying on of hands. But I suspect the laying on of hands by men would not fit your agenda or mode of...

You know what is going on. You are not the common Christian who is struggling to keep their heads above water with the challenges of this world. You are not the common Christian that is tempted by satan every day to give up on Christianity because it is not true. There are billions of...

This is a good question EG, I would like you to explain that to me too.

I didn't judge you, I just ask you to be forgiving to a brother of the gospel that made a slight mistake. No judgement.

It works the other way more often. satan says, you are saved anyway, go ahead and sin, it doesnt matter, Jesus will clean you up immediately. That is the danger logic that is more prevelant than what you said.

Again, you continue to be offended. Simmer down and allow a brother in the gospel to make a small mistake.

Again, BillG it may be way of base for you, but I was not responding to you, I was responding to TT. "Baptism" is like 'believing", if you do what you are supposed to do, then the ordinance of baptism will save you, just like the doctrine of believing will save you. But if you do not what you...

I stand up for Jesus every day. Tell us about predestination? Sounds like what the Mormons believe, you lived before this life? Do you believe what the Mormons believe?
