    Salvation: A doctrinal dilemma

    This has been discussed a million times. Acts 2 and Acts 10 are anomalies not the norm. In both cases, the Spirit fell in advance to show God ordained what was happening and in both cases, the church was started first at Jerusalem amongst the Jews, and then in Caesarea amongst the Gentiles. THAT...

    Salvation: A doctrinal dilemma

    To trust all of it is then to do all of it which unfortunately most don't, and rely on only those scriptures they like, and do in fact disregard the rest or relegate them to a lower position.

    Is Total Victory over Sin Possible?

    Victory over sin is via Christ. Does that mean we don't sin? Not really, it simply means Christ's blood is always there to continue to cleanse us. And read very carefully Romans 6 and 7. You're dead to sin being buried with Christ in baptism.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Believe what you like. The words are the words that your continued narrative don't negate or change. Belief + baptism = salvation is what Mark 16:15-16 clearly says. Not just belief, not just baptism, but both. God knows the hearts of men and knows who believes in Him therein and your...

    Saved by faith alone?

    It doesn't clarify. It's a continuation of the primary statement in the prior verse, identifying the consequences of not complying, namely that of not believing. If you believe you will confirm your belief by being obedient and further follow the command and be baptized. Obviously, if you don't...

    Saved by faith alone?

    That makes as much sense as your correction of everything in the bible.

    Saved by faith alone?

    You have just proven my point by your response and have exposed yourself. You are funny, but not really, because your message is false, which is sad.

    Saved by faith alone?

    I ain't the one saying it. The bible says it! Jesus own words. Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

    Saved by faith alone?

    You for sure certainly don't know the truth, as you continually demonstrate it by going way out of your way in feeble attempts to distort the plain, straightforward words of scripture by offering your convoluted, complicated logic as to why the aforementioned straightforward, simple words of...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Believe what you like, but one thing's for certain. You absolutely cannot be saved until you're baptized into the body of Christ. Believe it, deny it, it doesn't matter. The words of scripture are clear and what you believe won't change

    Saved by faith alone?

    Unfortunately, you are wrong. It IS the physical act of baptism. That's obedience. No different than the physical act of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 where he dipped 7 times in the filthy waters of the river Jordan as was told he must do to cleanse his leprosy. Did the act of dipping in the river 7 times...

    Saved by faith alone?

    It's truly sad you either can't read or can't understand the English language No obe ever said or claimed water immersion was akin to taking a bath to remove dirt; that's ridiculous! Nevertheless, the scripture, 1 Peter 3:21, CLEARLY, says it saves us then goes on to explain why, but it SAVES...
