If believeth and is baptized means believe only then heareth and believeth must mean hear only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is God culpable for the faithless therefore is at fault for the lost?

Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Hearing only saves?

If one can be saved (not condemend) by disobeying God's command to be water baptized, then can one be saved (not condemned) by disobeying all God's commands? Where does the Bible teach "disobedience unto salvation"?

--So obedience in doing God's will is a work of merit? Noah building the ark was a work of merit wherefore God owed Noah salvation from the flood? Naaman dipping 7 times in the Jordan was a work of merit wherefore God OWED it to him to heal him? --Water baptism is a command from God yet you...

You fail to address: --why would Jesus tell those people "YOU believe" if God is to do the work of believing for them? --Whose culpability is it if they did not believe? --Why would God command men to believe, as the jailer in Acts 16, if God does that work for men? --how can the Bible...

You CONTINUE to take Jn 15:16 out of context and make erroneous, out of context applications to it as if man can only be saved if God chooses him when the context is about Christ choosing men to the office of an Apostles not about randomly, unconditionally chooisng men to salvation. Your out of...

Phil 2:12-13 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." The context says those Philippians...

Not a single verse you cite says man is born a sinner. David did not say he was born a sinner, Jeremiah did not say men are born wicked...you assumed that into the verse. Paul says in Rom 3:12 "They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth...

The article was not even able to produce one valid reason against the necessity of water baptism...the article was full of invalid, illogical arguments, replaced Biblical truth with unprovable theological biases, tried to rewrite Acts 2:38 till it's not even recognizable, cherry picks out some...

Jn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Those that "hath everlasting life" and "shall not come into condemnation" are those who...

Jn 5:24 makes gaining and maintaining eternal life CONDITIONAL upon the basis of an ongoing, sustained, present tense hearing and believing and not UNconditional with no basis whatsoever.

If man has no free will, then why does man do the things he does??? If a man committed mass murder but he has no free will then he did not choose to commit murder but God caused/forced him to commit murder. Therefore God has culpability in murder, man was just the 'weapon' God used to commit...

Again, you continue to avoid the words spoken in Jn 6:27-29. The phrase "work of God" shows that God is the genesis of the work given to man to do. No verse says God does the work of believing for man while man sits idle. John 6:27 Jesus said to WORK for the spiritual food that endures unto...

Again, God has commanded man to repent (Acts 2:38) therefore that command implies ability to repent, responsibility upon man to obey that command to repent and accountability if man does not repent. Acts 11:18 when God granted repentence unto life to the Gentiles describes God's role in the...

Again, if God gives commands that are impossible to be obeyed then that would make God evil sadistic unloving unjust. Therefore God's commands do imply ability and accountability. You cannot have it both ways in trying to have God give commands impossible to obeyed then eternally punish man...

Context matters as to who is speaking, who is being spoken to and what is being said. In the context of Jn 15:16 Jesus is speaking to His Apostles about choosing them to be Apostles. He promises those Apostles the Comforter (v26) "he shall teach you (Apostles) all things, and bring all things...

The Bible does say men are sinful, wicked but no verse says man is born sinful, wicked. If one accepts how the BIble defines sin then one must reject original sin, total depravity.

I copied and pasted Jn 6:27-29 word for word from the BIble, you reject that word. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What...

It would be unjust, evil, sadistic for God to command man to do something already knowing it would be impossible for man to obey that command then condemn man for eternity for being unable to do the impossible. It makes no sense in God even giving any commands knowing already obey it. Yet God's...

What I posted was from the Bible in that the type of work (righteous or unrighteous) a person does in this life will be the very basis for the eternal sentence one receives from God on judgment day. There are many just on this forum who claim to "know the Holy Spirit" and yet post many things...
