“Remember the Sabbath…and keep it holy” is the only one of the 10 commandments that is NOT taught in the New Testament. Was it still practiced by the Jews? Yes, of course; but not by Christian’s. Acts 15:31 that you quoted is a fact. The Jews in the New Testament who followed Moses and...

If you are looking for a particular car to purchase, how would you go about finding it? Wouldn’t you look for the right model; year, color,, horsepower, automatic or standard transmission, the essential accessories—like power brakes, power seats, sunroof, etc??? You find the church of Christ...

The covenant that God made in Exodus 34, including the 10 commandments, was made ONLY with the Jewish nation. It was not a covenant with the gentiles. When Moses is speaking in Deuteronomy 4:13, who was he talking to? He said, “ He declared to YOU His covenant…” who is the YOU to whom God...

Yes, Jesus has shown how great He loves us by giving us His only Son as a sacrifice so that we may be saved. He has shown us in other ways also: by giving us the Revelation of Himself and His will—the Bible. He has not left us without direction or guidance, or with no information on how we are...

Let’s start with the Bible. What is the Bible for? It is a “REVELATION” from God. God, himself wrote it. 2 Timothy 3:16. You want to know what God says about a particular subject ? Read the Bible. 1 Corinthians 2:16 says the Bible is “THE MIND OF CHRIST.” If you want to get to know God...

First of all, I’d like to know what scripture in God’s word tells you that “laying on of hands was because it was all new and the understanding was not yet established.” I’ve never read that. If that is just Your idea, then it is nothing more than your opinion and not fact, nor true. Unless...

I believe every scripture in the Bible. But not necessarily your interpretation of scripture. The books of Roman’s and Corinthians were written to Christian’s, saints, children of God, the saved— not to non- Christians. So of course it talks about our justification and redemption, but he is...

There are only two times in the New Testament where anyone ever received the “Baptism” of the Holy Spirit: 1) Acts 2 and 2) Acts 10. The rest of the time they received the Spirit by the laying on of the apostles hands or by being water baptized for the remission of sins. Holy Spirit baptism...

The prophets Isaiah, Micah, Joel, and Daniel all prophesied that God would establish His kingdom in Jerusalem. That dream that Nebuchadnezzar had about the image in Daniel 2, represented future kingdoms of men. The “feet” of the image represented the Roman Empire. A stone was cut out of the...

You rarely give any scripture that backs up what you teach. God says that whatever you do in word ( teach) or deed ( practice) do it all by the authority of the Lord. Some of what you teach is Bible based; some is not. The Bible portrays hell as a place of eternal punishment. It does not...

Yes. You are right and I had not thought of Naaman’s first rejection of God’s word as being parallel to people of today and how they also reject God’s word for a different way that they think is better. Exactly the same. If Naaman had continued in his refusal to obey God’s instructions, he...

I believe you were the one teaching “Union by water” in your post # 56. When you posted “Union with Christ is by faith, not by water.“. I was simply using the wording in your illustration. I’m not the one reducing Romans 6 to Union by water. I was very clear in my post # 53 that the Union you...

UNION WITH CHRIST: BY WATER ROMANS 6:3-5

The Bible is very clear about HOW we are “United” with Christ. “Do you not know that as many of us as were BAPTIZED into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through BAPTISM into death…For if we have been UNITED TOGETHER in the likeness of His death...

On Grace and Baptism To say that baptism is essential to salvation does not at all contradict the truth that we are saved by grace. We can never earn our salvation. Baptism is a CONDITION of salvation. Dipping 7 times in the Jordan was a condition for Naaman to be cleansed of his leprosy .2...

I was responding to a statement by Mailman that said, “Your problem…is that you put repentance, confession and water baptism AFTER faith…” Then he said, “Repentance comes BEFORE faith.” The Bible does not teach that “order” of repentance, then faith. Here is the order the Holy Spirit gives...

No one is denying that faith is important or that it is one of the things the Bible teaches that saves us—along with “repentance”, Acts 2:38, “confession”, Romans 10:10, and “baptism”, 1 Peter 3:21. They are all necessary according to the Holy Spirit who wrote the Bible.

No, I’m sorry, but it’s not me that puts repentance, confession and baptism AFTER faith—it’s the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 puts repentance and baptism AFTER FAITH. Repent and be baptized. If repentance comes before faith then so does baptism! You would have us believe that the Hews there do not...

That may be true, but that still does not justify taking a passage completely out of its context and using it to teach something different from what the passage is talking about.
