    When are God's Elect Justified?

    That's actually the words of Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Of course, I know you have your own doctrine that you follow, so you are free to reject what Jesus said...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    The promise is to whoever in the world who believes.

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    The resurrection and rapture occur at His coming. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 JLB

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    We know His will is for the world to be saved. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Whoever believes. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes sir! I am in good company here! Christians are those who follow the teachings of Christ. Calvinist's are those who follow the teachings of John Calvin. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both...

    Yes. His coming; The Day of the LORD, The Day of Christ.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    How does a "false convert" remain in Christ? You are dangerously applying your own "understanding" to the words of Christ. I find this to be the case more and more, people just making up their own doctrine rather than reading and believing the words of truth and applying them to their life...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Jesus warned us to remain in Him. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6 Here is how we are instructed to remain in Christ - Now he who keeps His commandments abides in...

    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. It doesn't get anymore direct than that. HE CREATED THEM! That means both were created by God in THEIR image. What in the world do you mean "by implication"? Are you implying that God...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    Your main thrust is to bring people into religious bondage by distorting the scriptures. You said - The context was Pharisees complaining about Christ and His disciples NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS not which foods were considered clean/unclean. Does context matter to you? That is a lie!!! Either...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    If you have believed the Gospel message and are born again, then of course The Holy Spirit is in you. Look at these scriptures with me. - As of yet, they had not received The Holy Spirit. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    JLB, on 16 June 2012 - 06:06 PM, said: - because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods? Mark 7:19 What you are failing to grasp is: EVERYTHING YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR MOUTH IS NOT NECESSARILY FOOD. Are poisonous toadstools food? Neither were you...

    Yahwehs Food Laws: Why Hearken

    Speaking for myself - I am dead to the law and it's ordinances. For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    It is good that you want to follow Christ. Baptism in water is a good, holy doctrine of the New Testament Church. However, there seems to be reason why you do not want to acknowledge The Baptism of The Holy Spirit as a different Baptism, when there are clear examples in the writings of the new...

    The Truth About Born Again Christians

    Okay, it is crystal clear you do not understand this scripture, so I will explain it to you. 1 John 5:6 This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. Came by water is...

    Oneness Pentecostal: Biblical or Heretical

    The scripture clearly teaches us that The Word became flesh, not The Father. Jehovah is a perverted name name for God. You can look for yourself Strongs 1943 and Strongs 3050 a compound word. YHWH is the Name which Jesus claimed He was. John 8 Yes He is the express image of The Father...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    1 John 1:7-8 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. First your must be born again! Then you are...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    The word of God clearly shows baptism in water by John the baptist as well as the apostles. The word also speaks of a baptism of The Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues following. Baptism in water is about death burial and resurrection. Nothing to do with the new birth. Born of water refers...
