    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    The only thing you seem trained in is deception, projection, and deflection — including your use of AI. When it comes to AI, the one who’s been using it all along is you — not me. And I’ve got proof of it right there from my IT friend. That’s the evidence — plain as day. Numbers 32:23 (KJV) —...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You’ve avoided the actual text again, and that’s becoming a pattern. Calling it “systematic theology” or dismissing it with “citing isn’t exegesis” doesn’t change what Paul actually wrote. You haven’t refuted the Greek — you’ve just sidestepped it. Romans 1:5 KJV and 16:26 KJV both use the...

    Israel.

    That’s a fair timeline, but you’re overlooking how prophecy often carries both an immediate and a future fulfillment. The restoration from Babylon was the near fulfillment — but it never exhausted the promises God made to regather Israel “from all the nations.” Ezekiel 37:21-22 KJV says...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    The reason @ChristRoseFromTheDead keeps missing the mark is because he’s no longer reading Scripture as it is written, but reshaping it to fit his own system. When a person forces Scripture to say what their theology demands, clarity gives way to confusion. That’s exactly what Paul warned about...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That reply from ChristRoseFromTheDead (“Justification doesn’t depend on the resurrection at all…”) is a major theological misstep, because Scripture explicitly says otherwise. Another example why all on the forum should ignore him. In fact, his statement flatly contradicts Romans 4:25 KJV — “Who...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Your reply clearly tries to blur your precise exegetical distinction by reframing it as a “systematic theology opinion,” when in fact I supported it with Greek lexical evidence and direct Pauline syntax. You keep calling this “systematic theology,” but I literally cited the Greek terms Paul...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    This proves how little you know about theology! You are not even qualified to speak on this subject! That reply from ChristRoseFromTheDead (“Justification doesn’t depend on the resurrection at all…”) is so biblically and theologically incorrect, and I can expose it cleanly. That’s a stunning...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You are such a DISHONEST and DECEPTIVE person. You clearly took your statement out of context. What I Actually Said In my original post (post #1339), my line was: “If He isn’t raised, justification fails and salvation collapses with it — because they’re inseparably linked.” I was not saying...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Actually, Romans 5:10 KJV is precisely defining two aspects — reconciliation and salvation — and even separates them by tense and cause: “We were reconciled to God by the death of His Son…” — that’s the completed work of the cross (past tense). “…much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You’re overcomplicating something Scripture makes simple. God isn’t just the “original cause” — He’s the only cause when it comes to regeneration and transformation. Our cooperation doesn’t create the change; it responds to it. Philippians 2:13 KJV says it plainly: “For it is God which worketh...

    Welcome to the party — it won’t take you long to spot the heretics around here. I’ve been calling out their nonsense since the day I joined this forum.

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That’s a creative construction, but it’s not what Scripture teaches. You’re slicing salvation into artificial “steps” that the Bible never defines. Romans 5:10 isn’t describing two separate phases of salvation — it’s contrasting the cause and the result. “Reconciled by His death” speaks of what...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    So in other words, you don’t actually have a scriptural basis — just a claim you can’t back up. Saying “the NT is filled with them” isn’t an argument; it’s an admission you don’t know where the verses are. If the claim were biblical, you’d be able to point to at least one clear passage instead...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    They never do — most of what they say gets pulled out of thin air. And on the rare occasions they actually quote Scripture, it’s either out of context, pure eisegesis, or just flat-out mishandled. Grace and Peace Acts 17:11 (KJV) “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That line from ChristRoseFromTheDead—“Justification is by faith alone, but justification alone is not salvation”—is self-contradictory. You are trying to hedge against the clear teaching of Romans and Galatians by splitting justification and salvation into separate categories Scripture never...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You’re still merging two different biblical terms and pretending they’re interchangeable — they’re not. In the Greek text, πίστις (pistis, faith) and ὑπακοή (hypakoē, obedience) are never used as synonyms. Paul treats them as distinct — faith is the root, obedience is the result. Romans 1:5 KJV...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You’re adding “obedience” into the verse, but that’s not what James wrote. Faith and obedience aren’t synonyms — faith produces obedience. You don’t handle scripture very well. James’ whole point is that real faith shows itself through works, not that faith is works. Romans 4:5 makes that...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That statement isn’t biblically accurate. It confuses justification (being saved) with sanctification (living out the results of salvation). 🤭 Salvation is the gift of God, received through faith alone apart from works (Eph. 2:8–9). Once saved, believers live out that salvation through...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    This post from @ChristRoseFromTheDead mixes knowledge (gnosis) and obedience into a hybrid “faith + works” concept, then misuses 1 John 2:3-4 KJV to support it. That’s another theological overreach — the passage is talking about the evidence of knowing God, not the basis of salvation. You keep...
