We don't agree on much, Wansvic, but we do agree on this. God will not overlook sin now that we know what sin is. Whether a believer or unbeliever, sin must be forgiven. For the believer unconfessed sin drives a wedge between himself and God. The relationship with God will suffer, and if the...

I agree that the commandments must be kept, and there is only one way man can do it. How do you keep the commandments?

It means that all the commandments are condensed into one commandment. Notice John uses the singular when using the word "commandment." 1 John 3:22-23 "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is...

You can look it up. Then we can talk about it if you like.

Me thinks you like to argue, lol! If dispensationalism is not agreeing with you just say so! Why does it not agree with you?

When you consider the different ages-- the age of Law, and the age of the Church, the spotlight on what it means will vary. Personally I believe it was designed from the beginning to represent the power of God through His people whether under Law or Grace, temple or church.

It is the literal symbol of what spiritually happened inside the heart. But you will see it the way you want! You have turned the salvation of God into works of a man, it is no longer grace, it will not be accepted by God!

Man is saved by grace through faith, not by a ceremony depending on another man to perform for you! Man saved by ceremony is a salvation of works, and what does Paul say about that? Rom. 11:6 "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of...

And you my friend are making a ceremony performed by a man a necessity for salvation.

The water had nothing to do with salvation, but the acknowledging of Christ through water baptism meant everything. As you go down into the water you are buried with Christ, as you come up out of the water you are resurrected with Christ, a new man. The baptism into Christ that Paul speaks of...

The apostles were very firm on water baptism. If you didn't acknowledge your faith in Christ through water baptism as far as they were concerned, you were not saved.

It was a baptism of repentance. the emphasis was on repenting, changing your sinful ways, acknowledging Christ as your Saviour. That is a good point with Ananias! Paul was saved on the road to Damascus when he said, "Lord what will you have me do." That is the point he surrendered to Christ by...

From what you have given us here we can see that salvation has always been by faith, long before the water baptism of John. It seems to me the "one baptism" spoken of by Paul is indeed the "baptism into Christ," which is the spiritual baptism that takes place at the very instant of salvation...

There are lots of sevens is this book, it is God's number and represents perfection and completeness. The "seven stars" in His right hand are the symbol for the angels (pastors) of the seven churches. The "seven golden candlesticks" represent light, the church is to be the light of this dark...

The baptism of John was one of repentance. Have you not read of the group of men Paul met who didn't understand what the baptism of John meant? Paul asked them what baptism have they baptized with, they replied, John's baptism, then Paul told them John's baptism was a baptism of repentance...

If the translators had gotten it right, it would have said "repent, and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus 'because of' the remission of sins." The idea is that we are saved the very moment we believe and the sins are then forgiven that moment. Then we are water baptized as an outward...

You need to read some of the many promises of God to Israel. Isaiah 11:11-12 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush...

That makes sense since he approaches the scripture literally. He could be one of the many who believe in the mid-trib. That is stating that the first 3.5 years of the tribulation is the wrath of Satan and the latter 3.5 years is the wrath of God, the worst time this world has ever seen of ever...

See David, this is where you fail to recognize Israel in scripture as I have been telling you! God deals separately with Israel and until you acknowledge that you will be left in the dark.

Show me your post-trib view and I will show you why there is a pre-trib view!
