The bible makes very clear what is right and wrong . Acts does . it says specifically where the error was .
.

The error is in your understanding.

Do a scripture search of Paul explaining = "my Gospel".

Take a look.
Then you'll read in 2nd Peter where Peter says that Pauls letters are "scripture", at that time, before the NT was written.

Of course, @Behold.
Before you can be buried and risen with Christ, you have to die to self.
That's repentance.

No,
you dont have to die to self, before God will take you.
You dont have to clean up and be good, so that God will save you.
What is this junk you are teaching now.
You go from worse to the deep end the longer you are involved with a Water Cult.

Listen.. "God justifies the UNGODLY">...... Romans 4:5
See that?
Are the UNGODLY dead to "self" yet? Are they clean first before the Blood of Jesus cleansed all their sin?
Does God save you as "Grace through faith", or is it "salvation through self denial"?

So, you teaching that a person has to die to self, as Repentance, is just more horrible theology.

Listen.
Real Repentance, is turning from unbelief, TO Belief in Christ.
An unbeliever REPENTS of their UNBELIEF, and this is to turn TO FAITH IN Christ.

I didnt say there were contradictions in the NT.
I said to justbyfaith that to rightly divide the word, you you have to use some keys...

2 i listed, already.

Also, the Grace of God, is the Blood of Jesus.
Its God coming here, as a Man, to give us His Righteousness.
This Grace of God, is a GIFT.
"the GIFT of Righteousness".. ""the Gift of Salvation".

Two things . PETER DID MEAN water baptism . And number two , HE also says what just by faith DID NOT PUT IN
that while this is not what saves us , SEE .
BOTH SIDES are being decieved . I AM TRYING so hard to get folks back into bibles , NOT INTO INDOCTRINATION .
cause ya both have been INDOCTRINATED . I SEE IT in you , and i see it in him too

If water could save you, then everytime you took a shower or a bath, you'd be saved again.
Or, everytime an unbeliever took a shower, or a bath, or swam in an ocean, they'd be born again.

A.) Sorry, no.


Salvation has nothing to do with water.
Salvation is something that GOD does for you, as "the GIFT of Salvation".
There is no water in that GIFT.
Believe it.

I didnt see your question about "this" pope.
What is the question?
He's the next one.
He worships mary.
He does not believe in "Justification by Faith, without works".
He believes that Water regenerates the Spirit.

The one good thing about him, is that he Called out Joe Biden.
So, that's good.

Yeah he might have called out joe biden , but this pope is the most deceptive pope i have ever seen in my entire life .
And no i didnt approve of the other popes i seen either . This one , however, is highly deceptive
due to how he panders and acts like he is for everyone . Yet preaches the most deadly religoin to man .
HE does it under the guise he is a christain . But i wont just expose him . there are many who do the same thing
even from protestant pulpits , and from liberal ones too .

You have a one track mind . I NEVER SAID water saved you . Lets not lump everyone in one group .
pay closer attention . I said what peter said . Peter himself knew we ought to be water baptized ,
But he never said its the water baptism that saves one .
ITS like i said my friend . True lambs will simply do and love TRUTH . And ye shall know them by their fruits .
He who loves sin , he or she who can overlook something JESUS taught and his apostels did , they DONT KNOW HIM .
WE should be water baptized . JUST know its only FAITH IN JESUS that saves .

Look at the "RISEN" Part.
That is the part that matters.
Not the buried part, deceiver.

How are you RISEN? = is not how you are buried.

You are RISEN.......that is BORN AGAIN.......and how? "through the operation of GOD".
See that "operation of God"?
That is NOT The city water supply, deceiver.

That OPERATION< is GOD BIRTHING YOU into HIS SPIRIT.
HOW? = BORN AGAIN.
That is the "operation of GOD, made without hands'... in verses 11-15.
That is the "spiritual Circumcision" found in Colossians 2:11 , that you MISSED, because a Water Cult has your deceived head under the water.

Wake up.
YES . Yes that is true . IT is the operation of GOD . IT is us being born again . I get the feeling
the other guy wont argue this point either .
Its real simple really . HAVE FAITH IN CHRIST . LEARN the BIBLICAL ONE . LEARN the biblical apostels well .
Cause we got us many a deceiver in the land and lands today .
IF JESUS said to do , we do , if he said not to do we do not do . Let us learn the truth in the bible
and not the twisted understandings of many a man , many men gone wrong .
Just have faith IN CHRIST , and do as did the apostels . LIke i said even by reading acts
we know there were some errors early on . BUT the bible makes it clear those were errors .
Just simply read the bible for ourselves .

Yeah he might have called out joe biden , but this pope is the most deceptive pope i have ever seen in my entire life ..

Its good that we have Christians that we can admire.
I admire many "Saints".
Now of course, we are all "saints', if we are born again, but, most have the idea of a Saint as a famous Christian who lived long ago.
One of my Favorites is St. Francis.
So, when i learned that this Pope chose this Saint as his Pope ID, i felt kinda queazy , to be honest.
He's not worthy to tarnish that title, yet, he's so carnal that he couldn't resist it.
I think "Pope Joan" would have been a better ID for the man, but he chose Francis, unfortunately.

Listen, Christians can be horrible people.
They tend to judge, they tend to be self righteous, they tend to be greedy, and not help the poor.
They gossip. They are lazy. They Backslide. They dont study the Word.
A lot of Mods on Chrisitan forums are someone's carnal "buddy" or "friend" who could not quote 3 bible verses if you put a gun to their mother's head.
Christians complain about insignificant things, they whine over nothing... they always want to be first,.... and a whole lot of them live on Forums like this one to try to destroy someone's genuine faith in Christ and replace it with Water and Self Effort and Mary.

In the real world real Christians drag themselves to Church on a Sunday Morning, and put on a spiritual act, that disappears as soon as they are on the way back home, and this act show up again the next Sunday morning.
And these im describing, are going to heaven.
They are the "body".

Occasionally tho, someone sells out, totally commits, says...>"God here i am... choose me, i am all in, im yours"""" and God uses that one a lot.

Yeah he , like even i once was , can lip the name of JESUS , yet he nor i even KNEW THE TRUE JESUS .
HIMS a false one all right . so was i . While i do hope he repents , though , its my duty to warn
all to steer clear of false ones . We must . Folks are heeding , it seems , so many voices today
YET ONE VOICE they heed not . THE VOICE OF the Great shepard JESUS CHRIST .
AND as i said i dont judge them , I WAS THEM , but i do warn against them for the sake of my beloved family
MY family are those who do the will of GOD . AKA they follow THE LAMB , THE KING of kings .
And if i spot even one straying into a dangerous area , FROM MUCH LOVE I WILL WARN THEM . DO NOT DO IT .

Do you live in a small room, that has no windows, atop a high building that exists inside a pipe dream?
Have you ever actually dealt with other Christians as any type of Minister?

Maybe you should get out more, amigo de christo. ????
Try the real world, where real Christians drag themselves to Church on a Sunday Morning, and put on a spiritual act, that disappears as soon as they are on the way back home, and this act show up again the next Sunday morning.

I do get out my friend . ANd by grace i can discern those who truly follow and those who were nothing more than i once was , LIP ONLY .
And i dont mean if one errs i automatically think they are false . NO . But you can see a difference
in those who are HIS verses those who are lip only . ITS THE FRUITS .

The Devil fakes Spiritual Fruit.
Its what his ministers do.

WHen i showed up here some months ago, i wrote a lot of Threads that taught how to "spot a heretic".

Here is how you do it.
You find out one thing.
Do they give all Credit To Christ for saving them and keeping them saved...
Now notice this part...>"keeping them saved"..
See.... the heretic, does not believe this, and can't.
And sometimes, once they are caught, on a forum, they will lie.
But generally, and most of the time, a heretic will spotlight themselves by not being able to give Christ ALONE, CREDIT for Keeping them saved.

Here is how a heretic sounds..

"well of course Jesus is the savior, but, there is more to it, then just JESUS......see, you have to....do, and do, and do, and then you have to be sure you dont do, and dont do.. And if you get all those "dos" and "don't's" worked out, you just might get yourself into heaven if you dont mess up.

or they sound like this..

"well sure i know that Jesus saved me, BUT..........BUT.............BUT..........BUT"...

So, see that "but"?
That is LEGALISM about to show you how to keep yourself saved, or not "lose" your salvation.
Thats a heretic, every single time.

And then there are the water baptized who are not born again, but think they are because they got wet, immersed, or sprinkled, when they were 2 yrs old, or similar.

We have two forms of heretics concering this .
First point . YOUR RIGHT , ITS JESUS ALONE that can keep us saved that saved us and can keep us from falling .
But if we dont continue in HIM , Dont expect a good end .
The SPIRIT unctions us on what to do and what not to do . IT DOES THIS all on its own .
But the flesh is a monster . And sin can harden a heart .
SEE a true lambs KNOWS that ONLY JESUS saves , THAT ONLY HE can KEEP US SAVED .
And a true lamb knows , WELL if JESUS said it , ITS TRUE .
Thus if a man continues not in HIM , well they will be cast out , just like he and paul said they would .
SEE , either we trust men who tell us this is not so , OR WE TRUST and TAKE JESUS at HIS every word and every warning .
EITHER we trust men of today , or we trust what the first apostels said and wrote .
AKA . LET us pick those bibles back up and let us ensure that we are really following JESUS and not men .

No,
you dont have to die to self, before God will take you.

Rom 6:6, Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Gal 5:24, And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.


Being self-crucified, is past and present tense for those who belong to Christ.

Look at the "RISEN" Part.
That is the part that matters.
Not the buried part,

The buried part has to do with identifying with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.

Going under the water is in fact a confession of Jesus Christ.

See Matthew 10:32.

deceiver.

2Co 6:4, But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
2Co 6:5, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2Co 6:6, By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
2Co 6:7, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2Co 6:8, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;


I would point out to the casual hearer that the one accusing me of being a deceiver is the one who denies indwelling sin in his doctrine; and therefore 1 John 1:8 condemns him as deceiving himself and also says that the truth is not in him.

And therefore, while the passage that I have quoted above applies to me, it does not apply to him.

If water could save you, then everytime you took a shower or a bath, you'd be saved again.
Or, everytime an unbeliever took a shower, or a bath, or swam in an ocean, they'd be born again.

A.) Sorry, no.


Salvation has nothing to do with water.

It has to do with the name of Jesus Christ as you are baptized in water. It is the name of Jesus Christ that saves (Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12). Going under the water represents your identification with Jesus Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is confessing Him before men (Matthew 10:32).

YES . Yes that is true . IT is the operation of GOD . IT is us being born again . I get the feeling
the other guy wont argue this point either .

I would only point out that we are born of water and the Spirit when we are born again (John 3:5).

Here is how a heretic sounds..

"well of course Jesus is the savior, but, there is more to it, then just JESUS......see, you have to....do, and do, and do, and then you have to be sure you dont do, and dont do.. And if you get all those "dos" and "don't's" worked out, you just might get yourself into heaven if you dont mess up.

or they sound like this..

So, see that "but"?
That is LEGALISM about to show you how to keep yourself saved, or not "lose" your salvation.
Thats a heretic, every single time.

So, was Paul one of these heretics when he said the following?

Rom 11:20, Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Rom 11:21, For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22, Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

So, I feel like you are trying to say by this that true ministers will bear bad fruit in front of everybody.

Here is what Jesus said.

Mat 7:15, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17, Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18, A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19, Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20, Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Please note; a corrupt tree cannot bear good fruit.

How then can false ministers fake good fruit?

They will be exposed as the hypocrites that they are, sooner or later.

Is Paul one of the heretics that we are to avoid?; because he most assuredly wrote Romans 11:20-22.
