Incredible statement to claim "all works are the same" when it is evident they are not the same..... God's works the same as Satan's works? righteous works the same as unrighteous works? Good works the same as evil works? Works of merit the same as obedience? Romans 5:19 "For as through the...

It is clearly evident that preaching the gospel is a work, it is a labor. (1 Cor 15:10-11) it is some thing done. Jn 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest...

in 1 Cor 1:17 Paul does not even mention the noun "baptism" nor does he ever say the noun baptism is not part of the gospel, men add those ideas to the text. Paul was putting more emphasis on teaching over the verb baptizing not to the exclusion of either teaching or baptizing. 1 Cor 1:13 Paul...

The issue is it takes a WORK for men to hear the gospel whereby they can come to have faith. That work of one person teaching another person does not make salvation merited or "works based" no more than one person baptizing another person makes salvation merited or "works based".

God had a twofold purpose with Pharoah, Rom 9:17 ".....that I might (1) shew my power in thee, and (2) that my name might be declared throughout all the earth." Did God accomplish these two things with Pharaoh? YES. Did God accomplish them by violating Pharaoh's free will through ordination...

These actions do not describe God as loving, just and righteous as the Bible describes God, but rather it describes the action of someone evil and sadistic to cause innocent men to sin against their will just so God can then punish them. What kind of satisfaction can this type of sadistic...

If a man can't be saved until he hears the gospel, then that man is depending on man to be saved through teaching the gospel. Again, no difference.

Not different at all!! If one person water baptizing another is works based salvation then one person teaching another the saving gospel is also works based salvation.

The context of Acts 10 or 11 does not teach this idea, you add this idea to the text to get around the COMMAND to be water baptized given to Cornelius. In Acts 8, the Spirit sent for Phillip to teach Jesus to the eunuch and for Phillip to water baptize the eunuch. Points to note: -----if...

The Bible says there is ONE faith and ONE body (church, Col 1:18). Man says there are many faithS, many churchS. The Bible says God's word is truth and truth never contradicts itself. Man says contadictions are acceptable and man can choose his own doctrines and faiths for himself to believe...

But where is the free will if the author determines for Frodo what Frodo does? Take Jonah's example. First, if all has been preordained by God, why even bother to command Jonah to go to Nineveh when Jonah can only do what God has already predetermined for him to do? The commands given to men...

Hi, The Christians I see are those of their own will chose to obey the gospel and become a Christian, they are not Christians because of a arbitrary, unconditional choice God made for them. 2 Thess 2:14 people are called by the gospel, but only a few answer that gospel call by obeying the...

Philemon's salvation was possible by Paul's work in spreading the gospel. v19 "I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides." If not for Paul doing the work of evangelizing, Philemon would have been...

This does not address the issue you raised. If one person baptizing another perosn creates a "works based salvation" then it is also true that one person working in carrying out the great commssion to teach and baptize others to save them also creates a works based salvation. If Rom 11:6 says...

Thanks for those kind words.

Hope you're having a good day.

But the great commission requires "the work of another to carry out that command" of the great commssion to go, teach, baptize making disciples. Christianity is a taught religion and God through the great commission will have the gospel spread from person to person, generation to generation by...

Below I posted an article on the term "legalism". It is interesting that the term legalism is not found in the BIble in Greek or English. It was coined after the time Luther came up with His idea of faith onlyism hence those who would not conform to this false idea were labeled "legalists"...

Wikipedia defines a false dilemma or a false dichotomy as: "an informal fallacy based on a premise that erroneously limits what options are available. The source of the fallacy lies not in an invalid form of inference but in a false premise. This premise has the form of a disjunctive claim: it...

The Bible is truth, it does not contradict itself so when one verse requires belief to be saved than all other verses harmonize with that. When one verse requires repentance then all other verses harmonize with that. When one verse requires confession, than all other verses harmonize with...
