Oh but there is: https://biblehub.com/john/3-36.htm Most translations say obey. Good try though. Faith equals obedience. No obedience no faith.

Probably, thats how protestants like to do it usually. Believe this list of things and you are saved. But in reality, Jesus said will He find faith on earth? He will find plenty who CLAIM to have faith, over 2 billion in fact, but not many who will actually OBEY Jesus. (John 3:36)

Im not an adventist but I do appreciate you guys not preaching lawlessness like "our position in Christ is not about what we do but about who God made us to be" which would mean that we can deny Christ,rob steal murder and pillage and it all has nothing to do with us being in Christ. Yeey...

I am not even a native speaker and I know what those words mean. Yet im supposed to believe a person from the US; native speaker presumably, cannot figure out what it means?

I agree. Did you read my first post in this thread? I merely agreed with the person that Christ DID die for the elect, AND the non-elect. I said: "Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by...

True. No one denied that.

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Jesus died for everyone, however just because Jesus dies for you does not automatically make you...

Nah. Come back to me in 2 years and the world population has INCREASED, not decreased. I sometimes feel like Christians are just so eager to see the world burn and for Jesus to return they hop ahead of themselves.

Wow! This is monumental. Thanks for this VCO.

Which part of that says he converted?

Another ridicilous claim that the apostle Peter just didnt get it and wasted time baptizing people in water. Paul wasted time as well in Acts 16? What is this modern weird theology.

The problem with the "they corrupted the bible!" argument is that if they did, why be so sloppy and leave the book of Acts unchanged?

Thats why I quoted Matthew, which IS canon.

You guys struggle to understand Name does not mean "First name of someone" Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Corinthians 1:13 When Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 1:13 he was not referring to the wording, “I baptize you in...

This is what im saying as well! "Stop in the name of the law!" means by the AUTHORITY of the law. Same thing with the book of Acts, its a historical book so Luke writes they were baptized in the name of Jesus, in the authority of Jesus, they did what Jesus told them to do

Okay I regret responding to you at all. Beware of this guy. You heard it here first, he claims here in bold that the WORDS OF JESUS are a "tradition begun by the forerunners of the roman catholic church" Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of...

Yeah I know. They baptized like Jesus told em to do it. By his authority. Even the didache records this, why fight all of church history? At the very least dont be cultic about it and discount the baptism of people who did it ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF JESUS in Matthew.

Sadly there is no magic sentence of incantation of words that can change the heart. There are a bunch of devils in the oneness pentecostal camps who baptize in the name of Jesus as well.

Crcumcision in the flesh is done away with. Circumcision of the heart is not a new thing in the New Testament, its spoken of in the Tanakh as well: Jeremiah 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, And take away the foreskins of your hearts, You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem

I agree with you. You are right. IF we are to "Follow Jesus" in the literal sense then we should also be circumcised, keep all the feasts etc.
