    THE CHURCH

    All through the Bible people that are assembled together are called a church. It is an assembly of people. I, personally , do not think of it as a man ran, man organized, group that has put a name on their group such as Baptist, or any other name. The church of His body, the assembly of the...

    OSAS Scriptures

    All scriptures from the NKJV 2 Cor 1:20-22 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee...

    WHATS MISSING.

    What seems to be missing is that those that teach a child of God MUST have works to show their faith have hung the statement of James that “faith without works is dead” around the necks of those “IN CHRIST” who believe in Jesus‘ work on the cross. To these we are just required to keep the law...

    What do you trust in?

    I cannot see how people can place their trust in religious organizations that are based upon that religious organization's interpretation of Bible scripture. Think about the time of Jesus Christ. There were all kinds of different beliefs. The Pharisees believed salvation was in the promises...

    The Gospel

    1 Cor 15:1-4 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    Two places in the Bible that I do not feel support baptismal regeneration (water baptism necessary for salvation) are as follows. 1 Pet 3:18-22 18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by...

    What Jesus said about the religious

    When you read Mathew 23: 1-35 we see what Jesus said of the religious Pharisees of the time. Fast forward to today and we can see that what Jesus said is true in the religions of today. Matt 23:1-16 Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees (Mark 12:38-40; Luke 20:45-47) 1 Then Jesus spoke to the...

    The Barren Fig Tree

    Luke 13:6-9 6 He also spoke this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does...

    Peter's sermon

    Peter's sermon on Pentecost: I believe that Peter's sermon has been taken out of context and used as a blanket sermon about repenting and being water baptized. This article is my attempt to prove, by the scriptures, that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT“ and understood that the message was to the...

    THE GREATEST GIFT EVER GIVEN

    WAS GIVEN BY THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE PAID THE PRICE FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND. Heb 9:22 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. NKJV Eph 1:7 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the...

    Evidence of a great doctrinal apostasy

    This is the background of Christ's instruction to Gentiles (through Paul) during the dispensation [age] of grace. 1 Cor 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me [Paul], as a wise masterbuilder, “”I”” have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take...

    COMMON SENSE

    One thing I find missing in religions is common sense. God gave Moses the law of 10 commandment and Moses took them to the Jewish people. They set up a religion that had men as priests. It didn’t take long for the law to become 630 laws. Fast forward and we see that the men in charge who...

    A Common Error

    It is a common error for religious preachers/teachers to assume that the Pauline Gospel of Grace should be blended in with what Jesus and the 11 preached. I feel this is a deadly error that will send many to Hell. Gal 1:8 NKJV 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other...

    Is the Bible an instruction book on how to be saved?

    John 5:38-41 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. 41 "I...

    THE Gospel

    Acts 15:10-11 10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they." NKJV -----What was the...

    Understanding "dispensations.”

    There has been some who say the teachings of Dispensationalists is all wrong. But their knowledge of it is all wrong. Most dispensationalist agree upon 7 Dispensations. However, there are no set amount of dispensations that can be arrived at in the Bible. Paul in Ephesians 2, lists 3...

    shutting up the kingdom

    Jesus said this to the religious Pharisees and I think it happened in the event I described in The Tragic Story I posted and is happening on forums today. Matt 23:11-13 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    These verse are about where a person has placed their faith. Is in God’s work or their own works. Rom 8:1-16 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. A child of God walks in the Spirit and has no confidence...

    MY PERSONAL WALK

    This is my personal walk with God through faith (on 4 pages) I have talked with many representatives of religions. Some of them come to my door and many others are on Internet forums. Although I placed my faith in Jesus at the early age of 9, talking with these representatives caused me to...

    Assurance of salvation:

    These are posted to show that man's works are not a part of a person's salvation. No where in them is a mention of man's works. It only mentions believing in Jesus. John 5:24-27 24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and...
