    THE GREAT COMMISION WAS GIVEN ONLY TO THE TWELVE

    We must look at the entire Bible similarly. As an example, who were the various NT books or letters written to? Us today? No! They were written specifically to those to whom they were addressed, i.e.; the Romans, the Corinthians, the Galatians, the Ephesians, the Hebrews, etc., and addressing...

    What Is the Significance of the Seven Churches in Revelation?

    A few things can be learned which are significant about the 7 churches. One, that they were already starting to stray as was the case even before that. Two, that not only people, but entire congregations can be in danger of losing their salvation for various reasons. Three, that there is a...

    ACTS 2 PENTECOST ***

    Yes, it was the 11 apostles only, not the 120 as some erroneously believe, and it can further be traced to the promise made to the 11 by the Lord which was "the power from on high" as recorded in Luke 24:49 and also that which was stated by John the Baptist as the baptism of the Holy Ghost...

    Smoke weed

    The problem is that you can have a drink and not get drunk, that being in moderation, and in so doing, your intent was not to get intoxicated, wherein you'd be contrary to scripture. However, you cannot say so with weed. Your intent in smoking weed is solely for the purpose of getting high, and...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Apostacy is renunciation That's what I said. That's what Hebrews says. Repentance is the remedy for sin subsequent to being saved. 1 John 1:9 "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Phil 2:12

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    You find the geneology in 1 Chronicles 1 ftom Adam to Israel and the geneology of Christ in Matthew 1, so, if you can trace the Israelites back to Adam, it's all true, including the flood. The other issue, based on a short read if Amos, as stated, finds your logic flawed regarding...

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    Amos 5 infers the offerings and sacrifices were in vain, not that they were not prescribed. God wouldn't accept them. Not sure what you're getting at but your point is not valid based on the 1st one that I checked.

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Yes, you can lose your salvation. One way is too renounce christ after you've been converted as the newly converted Jews were warned of in the book of Hebrews. And, there is a remedy for sin after conversion; it's repentance

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    The belief osas, is a false doctrine to begin with, so the question posed is irrelevant

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    Speak for yourself. I believe it all, 100% as I'm sure many others do

    Is the story of Noah literal?

    Can't pick and choose what you believe and disbelieve from the bible. Believe it all or nothing

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    I only trust scripture. That's all you need.

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit was a promise made to the 11 apostles as the power from on high. Ref Luke 24:49 which was foretold by John the Baptist as well, and fulfilled in Acts 2 as the 11spoke in other tongues.

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    Trying is not important: arriving at the truth is. It's not a contest of you versus me, or my knowledge versus yours, it's a matter of discerning the truth so all can benefit. May the Lord be with you.

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    And the need for repentance is not mentioned by the Lord in Mark 16:15-16, nor is confessionwirh the mouth. Does that mean repentance and verbal confession are not necessary because they not mentioned in this scripture? NO! All scripture must be be accumulated to discern the total of...

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    The question to be baptized or not is a question only among the foolish. It's amazing the great lengths people go to, in a feeble effort to negate the absolute necessity of baptism as relates to salvation. Mk 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel...

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    Preaching as Paul did is of no value without those who are preached to ultimately are baptized, so, what was Paul's mission?? Just to preach without those preached to not being saved, since hearing is useless unless it results in total obedience, thereby being saved. You can believe what you...

    Paul was not under the "Great Commission"

    That's really not what is meant by the verse in 1 Cor about Paul not being sent to baptize. He did in fact baptize some as he stated but the baptizing was done mostly by Apollos. Read a bit further to 1 Cor 3:6 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase
