God is a God of reason. Isaiah 1:18 "Come let us reason together." We are made in the image of God. Genesis 1:27 "So God made mankind in His own image." We all have the ability to reason. 1st Peter 3:15 " Be ready to give a reason for the hope you have."...

Who do you suspect is adding these works to gain salvation?

Change your life (repent) and then believe in Jesus? Acts 2:36-38 “All the people of Israel should know beyond a doubt that God made Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” When the people heard this, they were deeply upset. They asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what...

Could you define what you mean by "works"? Is it works of merit or works of obedience? Is it both? Could you give an example of the works that you suspect people are using to earn their salvation?

Justification does most certainly comes by faith AND works. Justification does not come by faith alone. We may debate what kind of works are needed for justification but not the need itself. This is Bible 101. What kind of works are you talking about?

You are a silly man. I never wrote any of this. You are simply making up comments and then attacking them.

This is clear error. You are reading into the scriptures that they teach that the age of the physical supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit would continue until today. The scriptures do not teach this. This is a claim that can easily be proven if true but you cannot. Your use of "have...

"Credentials"? "Learned"? Satan has better credentials and is far more learned then this self proclaimed atheist.

Who and when did this happen?

Also well said.

Very well said.

If Jesus would have said born of baptism, your would declare "but He did not say it was water baptism". Your theology is but semantics.

This is a terrible analogy. Taking your medication and washing it down is the same thing. Believing and baptism are two distinct things. You are getting desperate.

This is called a "workaround" or "loophole" defense and a sign of a weak theology. We are not to concern ourselves with possible exceptions but obey what is written. John 21:21-22 New International Version When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to...

Your argument is simply semantics. There are many things that can cause one to be condemned besides the lack of the remission of sins. Jesus does not need to state them all to your satisfaction. What does this mean? Absolutely?

Baptism is parenthetical??? In what Bible version is baptism in Acts 2:38 written in the parenthetical? Let me save you some time...not one. I also noticed you claim that the second clause of Mark 16:16 makes void the first clause in the same verse! (Post# 1905) Are you just making this...

It is your post, is it not?

All of Mark 16:16 is in harmony with John 3:18. It's just not in harmony with Faith Alone Regeneration Theology.

You are simply inserting yourself into the pronouns of 1st Cor. 15:1-4 and nothing more. You are asserting that the pronouns apply to you personally because you feel as if you have fulfilled the requirements of the passage (you very well may have) but your confidence does not validate your...

Baptist and other faith alone regeneration theology advocates do not see water baptism and being filled with the Holy Spirit as important. They see the command by Peter in Acts 2:38 as something to be done "because" they already have received the remission of sins and the Gift of the Holy...
