Outward appearance with the Spirit is one thing, but outward obedience to God with the Spirit, is entirely another. And so, you have responded plainly to my first demand, in order to continue on down the line point by point with you. And I appreciate and like and agree with it. However, I must...

Yes, I understand that you are not all on board with the teaching I offer proving that our words are work, even as God's words are His work. To which I don't see you have addressed at all. You just aren't of the radical faith alone sort, that say we are saved before confession of faith, so as...

The Lord Jesus does, unless you believe the prophets and apostles were just writing for themselves and their own lordship. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy for by faith ye stand. The ones that lord it over women in the churches, are those commanding...

Ok. Then fortunately you're not contradicting Scripture by saying we are saved by faith alone, before doing the word and confessing the Lord Jesus. I can accept 'culminating' salvation by confession of faith, though I believe it is more accurate to say we are saved at the moment of confession...

You're welcome. I'm not used to many Christians on this site being polite and unflushed when disagreed with. With you, I think we can be most amiable in disagreement, and perhaps might come to some agreement. And while I enjoy the Scriptural exercise of going back and forth with different...

The new ordinance of Christ for His churches, that was not in the OT, is that worshipping and honoring God, is women ought cover their heads with long hair, and men ought not let their hair grow to cover their heads like women. Like outward circumcision, it's not a sin to wear a head scarf...

Making sense of Paul's teaching on covering or uncovering our heads, is a perfect exercise in disciple for dividing the word of God correctly. And the simple way to rightly divide the word of truth, is to first rightly divide between what is written and what is not, and teaching only what is...

Other than belief unto righteousness from the heart, and confessing the Lord Jesus, of course. No man recieves the Spirit of Christ before being saved by confessing Him as Lord. No man is boasting about anyone or anything, other than Jesus Christ, when confessing Him the Lord and God and...

Dear faithwilldo. You're inserting your own carnal timeline into Scripture. You say after, where no words of Scripture says so. The verse only says that to confess Jesus is Lord, it must be by the Spirit. When Peter confessed by the Father, that Jesus is the Christ, nothing says he 'had the...

Amen, you confirm Jesus and James, that we are justified by our words as works of righteousness, and not by faith only. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this...

Are we saved before confessing the Lord Jesus with our mouth?

And those that confess the Lord Jesus with their mouths shall be saved.

It amazes me how some people don't understand simple English. God says we must confess His Son the Lord Jesus unto salvation, and others say we must not, because we are already saved by our own faith alone.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Purging our hearts and minds of lust and filthy imagination of the world is the first work of them hearing, believing, and obeying the...

Confession with the mouth is the first bodily work unto salvation, but it is not the first work we do to be saved. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will...

Woa. I just had to delete my final post to you. I am ashamed, because I doubted your honesty. I too at times have just posted what I believe without arguing. Recently I took a break for about a month without posting. I believe that's why Paul walked across the Isthmus alone, after disputing in...

Not at all. I'll just miss your arguments with those that disagree with you. But, as I said, maybe I will take up that mantle for you. However, I'm wondering why you speak me as an enemy of yours. Strange. We used to be such bosom buddies and tag team partners in preaching righteousness without...

Good, you've even forgotten all about it. Nevermind then. I'm still wondering why such a disputation warrior such as yourself is all of a sudden so against disputing doctrine of Christ from the Bible. Strange. But, nevertheless, since you'll no longer be doing so, and not arguing with anyone...

Halleluiah brother Gilligan. Skipper would give you a pat on the back. This is an honest challenge to what I argue, and to tell you the truth I don't have ready answer for this particular point. One difference I can think of is, that our words are works like God's, except that we can judged for...

Good, glad to hear your not offended in the least. Now, if I can figure out why you are a born-again non-disputer, after having been an ardent one for so long. Even to the point of doubting anyone disputing in the Scripture to learn and know the truth of God, are 'Christians'. And when there...
