    Baptism is it required?

    Think of it like this...can a person be saved if they continue in a homosexual lifestyle? Most would say, "no". So then does being "straight" save a person? No. Obedience is born of saving faith. This kind of faith saves a person. Show me a person who seeks to obey the Word of God out of...

    Baptism is it required?

    I believe that many well meaning Christians are teaching a “gospel of disobedience” meaning they soft peddle the Lord’s commands teaching an “easy-believism” designed to help add members and tithers quickly without a hitch. LOL

    Baptism is it required?

    (treeoflife;54144) People thinking that someone MUST be baptized to attain salvation, or that one could lose their salvation by not being baptized... is baffeling to me. It makes me wonder what else they think a person must do to attain salvation... or what things they could do to lose it...

    Baptism is it required?

    (treeoflife;54142) Actually, you are incorrect. Jesus died before both of those cruicified with Him.John 19:32-34Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not...

    Baptism is it required?

    (kriss;54136) John baptised with Water because the Christ spirit was not avaiable before his death. Water is nothing but symbolic it can save no one only Christ saves there's one baptism of the holy spirit that comes with acceptance and repentance Christ is the living WaterJhn 7:38 He that...

    Baptism is it required?

    Ephesians mentions "one baptism":Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord, one faith, one baptism,Many use this verse in an attempt to pitch water baptism against spirit baptism. I don't believe that's possible. There are two facets to one person. A man is both physical and spiritual. We have body and...

    Baptism is it required?

    I believe that baptism is a command of Scripture. Failure to baptize, as a church, is a failure to obey the Lord’s commission… or refusal to be baptized as a believer is disobedience. I don’t believe that water baptism saves a person…but disobedience can cost one their soul. God desires that...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;54086) I'm glad that is what the Lord has had you and your wife do, for you.Biblical modesty has nothing to do with pants. Isaiah 47:1-3, which you use to a thigh reference, is a stretch to say the least.“Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;54073) So you believe that *typically* this is true. This means that though it is *typically* true that a dress is more modest than a pair of pants, in your experience, it is then *possible* for it to not be true in all cases. That being said, a skirt *can be* immodest... and even...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;54069) Different argument, because today we know it has serious and obvious health problems related to it. However, if you were to bring the same issue up a few hundred years ago, it would not have been an issue, as no health issues were associated w/ smoking. Also, nicitine could...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;54058) Look, you're saying that pants are immodest, while quoting scripture that does not actually address the wearing of pants. This not siding with scripture. However, if you are going to take that stance that you are siding with scipture... be forwarned... it causes more damage...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;54049) I'll just say I agree. There is nothing gender specific about pants, which is the key to the verse that was used about not dressing as a man dresses, or man like a woman. Pants are not gender specific.However, if a man started to wear WOMEN'S PANTS (with cute little...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    I can't believe so many Christians would cave in to modern culture so easily. I don't believe a woman is in "sin" for wearing pants. However, biblically speaking, they are immodest. "Women's pants", are a modified spin off of men's pants. Technically there's no such thing as bonafide...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (kriss;53989) It never was about women wearing pants it was written when both men and women wore skirits lets use some common sense here Pants were not worn by either sex so how could it be talking about women wearing pants when no one wore pants. The style could change tomarrow and both men and...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (treeoflife;53977) We're still talking about women wearing pants right? There are many cases where a dress, even to the floor, is way more immodest than a pair of pants. I agree, a dress can be immodest also. However, women's pants are primarily designed by the industry to accentuate the...

    Should Women Wear Pants?

    (kriss;18222) I was asked the other day if it was a sin for Women to wear pants. Heres what the bible says on this.Deu 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. This...

    Universal Reconcilation? (Christian Universalism)

    (treeoflife;53949) If you believe this (and I also believe this), then explain this. Because, I believe this but cannot believe in universal salvation because as you said, not all will be saved (as God has given us His Word on this).Universal salvation means that everyone, universally, will...

    Universal Reconcilation? (Christian Universalism)

    (treeoflife;53679) I agree, Jesus did die for ALL men. However, not ALL men will be saved. We must understand the difference, but also remember that He did die for all sins... yes... Amen.I would argue even that MANY more people will be saved than many Christians have understood. However, not...

    Universal Reconcilation? (Christian Universalism)

    (thesuperjag;53678) Flesh is not a soul. It's been proven in this very scriptures.Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:II Corinthians 5:8 - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the...

    Universal Reconcilation? (Christian Universalism)

    (treeoflife;53674) *IF* He is lifted up (He spoke of His death) he will draw all men to Himself. This simply doesn't mean that all will be saved from the second death when He is crucified. There is a much different meaning to this that doesn't contridict God's Word. Not all will be saved...
