I heard her wonderful, heart felt speech in which she thanked her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ✝️

Amen! Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

It's very sad and it's a shame that human pride will not allow these folks to trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. Their hands are full of their works and they will not let go in order to receive Christ through faith.

Your misunderstanding of the text culminates in salvation by works. Been there, done that. Prior to my conversion several years ago while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I basically defined faith "as" obedience/works too. Yet faith is the root of salvation and obedience/works is the...

I already thoroughly covered this with you. Go back and read posts #54 and #63 again.

Here is a quote from Facebook that I recently came across: :contemplate:

The same position I heard in the CoC that I temporarily attended several years ago is the same position I heard from other folks who attend the CoC on various Christian forum sites as well. No exceptions, huh? So, I'm only magining what I clearly heard and the CoC is just misunderstood. Got it.

I already thoroughly explained this to you in posts #54 and #63 but unfortunately, I can see that the truth just continues to go right over your head. :(

So, the Jews did not repent until after they were baptized according to you? So repentance in essence is baptism according to you? Being baptized signified that the Jews repented. Refusing baptism signified that the Jews refused to repent. Repentance precedes baptism and forgiveness of sins is...

I don't appreciate your slander. You don't seem to understand Jesus' question in Matthew 21:25. The question was in regard to John's authority to baptize The legitimacy of John's ministry as being ordained by God in heaven and not about which baptism is being performed (Spirit baptism) or water...

Remission of sins is signified but not procured in water baptism. Luke 7:29 - When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God/acknowledged God's justice, (signified by) having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's...

Is the CoC divided on this belief? I've had other folks who attend the CoC claim that is their belief, so I know what I am talking about. Maybe you are the exception? :contemplate:

Matthew 3:11 - As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Was that natural H20 that John baptized people in? Do you understand the difference...

:Laughingoutloud: Saving faith trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Actions which follow are works. How is my faith dead when I have been made alive together with Christ, saved by grace through faith, not works, created in Christ Jesus unto/for good works. (Ephesians 2:5-10) After my...

Your ignorance of faith and works in the Bible stems from being spiritual discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14) Just like the Jews in Romans 10:1-4, (difference in style but same in substance) you have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking...

I see nothing in the statements that imply that we are saved by baptism. (Luke 8:12; John 1:12; 3:15,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26) If the Jews were genuine believers, then they would not have refused John's baptism, but John's baptism was for "in regard to/on the basis of" forgiveness of...

Neither Jesus nor John the Baptist taught that water baptism is the basis or means by which we obtain forgiveness of sins. The apostle Paul already took care of that. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:2-6; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9) Don't let Jesus' play on words here in response to the...

In your desperate effort to obtain salvation by works based on your personal definition of non-boastful works, you continue to cling to your works-based false gospel and stubbornly refuse to believe the gospel. Until you receive a new pair of bifocals you will remain in a state of confusion...
