Water saves no one but being baptized, immersed in water, into the body of Christ does

It, God's saving grace, IS 100% dependent upon our doing something which you erroneously call a "work". It ain't a work. It's obedience. Doing what we're told. Does he save without belief and faith? No. Neither does he save without us doing whatever is required of us. Repentance, confession, and...

Jesus truly saves us but only after we've been obedient

Baptism is symbolic but that doesn't mean that it's not absolutely essential. Peter says Baptism saves us. We're told it washes away sins such as in Acts 22:16. Symbolic yes, because it's not the water itself, but it's obedience no different than when Naaman finally obeyed, dipped 7 times in the...

A good example of the gospel, the 'good news' and it's message, would be the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Not only was Jesus preached, but obviously, although not overtly stated therein, was sin and the need to be baptized as a remedy. Look at verses 36 and 37 below 36 And...

A short study I had written and previously posted on the subject of predestination based on God's foreknowledge. Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all that will occur within the entire expanse of...

When the inspired word of God is written it becomes scripture. Greek words graphe, graphes, graphas, etc. (derivatives) = writing or writings

Yes. When that which is perfect is NOT talking about Christ since he is not a "that", nor is it talking about the great day of the Lord. It's speaking not in universal church terms either. I've written and posted about this previously. It's talking about the perfection of the body of Christ...

All have sinned, so, what is the remedy to remove sin according to the bible? It's not by following the "Great Commandment" you cited.

The spiritual gifts, all of them, those listed in 1 cor 12:8-10, were enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands, and they are dead. Study the scriptures regarding this i would suggest.

How to "test a spirit or prophet"? Simple: there are no prophets today. The gifts of the Spirit (miraculous manifestations) have ceased long ago including prophesying. And now we have scripture to check and double check false teaching/teachers or the spirit which drives them.

Stick to the question which relates to the democratic party and voting for it, and if so doing, is it a sin in and of itself. So, what's a matter of the heart? I'm simply pointing out how the democratic party is inconsistent with God in general, in principle.

Forget pio and turn to God's word to understand salvation and what the bible says of those that desired it. Once they believed, what did they do as was told to them according to the scriptural records? They were told to confess their belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8, consistent with...

A sin, no; just stupid. God is not progressive nor liberal. He is the same today as yesterday and as will be tomorrow, as is his word.

God's foreknowledge addresses this question

That's part of the requirements as was done by the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. But after he believed and confessed his belief, he asked what would hinder him from being baptized, so it's obvious that part of Philip's preaching of the gospel to him also included the need to be baptized, which he...

I didnt say God is, but but has a soul. And because God also has a soul too, it doesn't mean he had a beginning within the loins of anything prior to him since he has no beginning or end. It simply means he too is a conscious being as are we and as are animals as you mentioned which I am aware...

It sounds like you're confusing spirit and soul however, since you said "our spirit needs a house" but then go on to again refer to the soul. As the original poster pointed out, as did my repost, they are not one in the same; two distinct things

100% agree. I wrote and posted on this here and elsewhere previously. Here it is once again in support of your post. First of all, what is the soul? Some equate it with the spirit, but that's not correct. Some think that God gives you a soul which is also not correct. See below repost of mine...

God has. Goodbye
