    What Do You Actually Have To Believe To Ensure Salvation?

    Whether it's for me or someone else makes no difference, answers are needed to these basic questions. I don't seem to have received them, which concerns me for your sake because I've read the gospels & the new testament and people got answer that changed them, miracles resulted. In the gospels...

    What Do You Actually Have To Believe To Ensure Salvation?

    well, yes, no offence but I would even wonder if the person saying it was saved because it's all subjective, I don't see any proof of God in all the religious opinions I've heard over the years... others I have spoken to say "just accept it by faith", kind of tautological, I'm saved because I...

    How To Know If Your Truly Saved

    Well, the church in the bible were perfectly willing to say 1) that believers had not received God's Spirit, and they were able to say precisely when they did receive! Important note: They also taught that you are not saved until you receive the Spirit: - Titus 3:5-6, John 3:3-5, Romans...

    What Do You Actually Have To Believe To Ensure Salvation?

    Pls don't use clichés like "believe in Jesus", Jesus taught that many who say they believe in him will told "I never knew you", so how can you know you are saved?

    Who Are The Peacemakers?

    Plenty of non-Christians do that, most mothers do it for their children, most teachers do it aty school, most police do it on the streets etc. What makes you sure?

    Who Are The Peacemakers?

    Didn't they team up with a guy called Gerry to sing: "how do you do", "Ferry across the Mersey", "you'll never walk alone" etc Ah no, that was Pacemakers. Seriously, peacemakers must be people who know God's terms for peace, which is to receive His New Life and live it. Peace means unity...

    Must Someone Pray In Order To Be Saved

    I was brought up Anglican, but I only went because my dad wanted me to go, there was nothing inspiring there for me so when I left for University I stopped going. While there I started to consider the purpose of my life, and realised I didn't have one that satisfied me, "the world was my...

    How To Know If Your Truly Saved

    6) understand that he saves by giving you his Life, when you receive His Spirit (become "born again") - Titus 3:5-6, you should also accept thay you are dead in sin until this happens, shown by being baptuised in water unto Jesus' death. 7) ask for (crave, thirst, accept your need for) His...

    Does "the Gifts" List Refer To What Different People Get When They *become* Christians?

    It says: "to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits...

    Daniel And Six Musical Instruments

    Most people would describe it's sound as shrill, to scare enemies in battle, not sweet as the name dulcimer suggests, so I'm not really convinced that the dulcimer is in fact a type of bagpipe, I prefer this. This is a subtle, soft instrument that would not have been heard whan all the others...

    Parable Of Lazarus And The Richman

    No, the scriptures clealy teach that when you die your soul is asleep not tormented. This is a parable, the specific details mentioned show it to be a kingdom parable rather than one of personal salvation. Abraham's bosom is the Abrahamic Covenant, Lazarus represents the house of Israel . . ...

    What Is Required For Salvation?

    You are in an unsafe, unsaved and un-blessed state until you hear God's opinion, and do it.

    I Am A Sinner.

    You obviously have a respect for God's truth, as Paul (Saul) did: "I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. ...I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against...

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    Of course, you don't honestly believe that God has done away with some or all of these his workings do you? Please specify your belief.

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    The scripture teaches that tongues is unknown to the speaker, it is to get beyond his / her understanding and minister the love joy and peace that passes understanding. All need this that ius why all of God's Children are given the ability at new birth. Far and away the main use and purpose of...

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    Miraculous unlearned language for praying to God (not preaching to men as some teach). " they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4) "he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God" (1...

    What Is Required For Salvation?

    It is... but even those words are a cliche, making your idea just as vacuous as many others . . . unless you say how you get into that relationship, uning clear instructions that result in salvation, not opinion.

    John 14 Vs 21

    No, Jesus didn't come along and re-issue the 10 commandments, he commanded to repent, believe in him, get baptised and be born again (receive His Life), which he first needed to lay down at Calvary. The disciples received it at Pentecost (Acts 2:4, 33), the same is to be received today (v39...

    The Baptism With The Holy Spirit (A Scriptural Study)

    I can't think of a verse that specifically says tyhat, but that is the whole ministry of Jesus under the new covenant! Here's the nearest I can think of: Isaiah 4:4: When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the...
