Peter is not saying Christ went to prison and preached to those spirits. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which (the Spirit) also he went and preached unto the...

John's baptism was not a baptism into the death of Christ and John's baptism was replaced by the baptism of the great commission per Mk 16:15-16; Matt 28:19,20 which is a baptism into the death of Christ. Therefore John's baptism is not the baptism the NT requires of us today, that being, a...

No, it's not correct. If we go back and look at the context in Matt 19 and Mark 10, nowhere does it say the rich young man lied to Christ or that Christ accused him of lying or condemned him for blatantly lying to Christ's face nor was he accused of "self-righteous" works. The man asked Christ...

---Heb 9:16-17 makes it clear about lasts wills and testaments. A testament is only in force AFTER men are dead, not before. Hence it was impossible for Christ's NT to be in effect while He was still alive. I have a last will and testament but it will not be in effect until some point after I...

Those that lived under the OT law will be judged by that law as those of us today who live under the NT gospel will be judged by that NT law. Christ took the OT law out of the way replacing it with His NT (Eph 2:14-16) therefore there was a change of law (Heb 7:12). How can someone be judged...

All of us today are under the NT gospel of Christ and all saved under the NT gospel will be saved the same exact way thru belief repentance confession and baptism.

No, people will be judged by the law under which they lived.

Hi, The examples cited occurred while the OT law of Moses was still in effect, hence they cannot examples of NT gospel salvation for they occurred before the NT gospel of Christ came into effect, (Heb 9:15-17). NT gospel salvation requires one to believe (Jn 3:16) repent (Lk 13:3) confess...

Yes. The "one baptism" (Eph 4:5) that is in effect today is the baptism of the great commission which had disciples water baptizing men in the name of the Lord for remission of sins (Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15-16; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47-48) and the thief could not have been baptized with this baptism...

Hi Good post. In addition to what you posted about Heb 9:16-17, another reason why the 'thief argument" fails is because it is based upon the ASSUMPTION that the thief had never been baptized. There is no verse that definitively states the thief had never been baptized as there is no verse...

The Bible says ONE baptism but you claim "that does not mean there is not a baptism that God does upon all believers" which would be TWO baptism, not one. Your argument dies due to mathematics also.

No verse in the NT says one must be acted on in some miraculous way by God or the HS first before one is able to understand God's word. Such would make God culpable for those who cannot understand and respecter of persons of those whom He acts upon to give them the ability to understand versus...

Abraham did not have faith only, he faith included obedience in leaving his house land and kindred and offering Isaac, Heb 11:8,17). No one including Abraham can be made righteous in disobeying God. Abraham was already in a save covenant relationship with God prior to Gen 15...Abraham was 'of...

Rom 4:5 does not teach justification by faith alone nor justification by perpetual faith alone. Faith onlyist will NEVER produce a verse that teaches salvation apart from obedience to God's will. Salvation is by God's grace and man's obedience...only those who obey are the recipients of grace...

Not a single verse you cite eliminate obedience from salvation, such would contradict 2 Thess 1:8 that logically requires one to OBEY to not be in flaming fire. Rom 4 eliminated the flawless works required by the OT law from justifying Abraham and Eph 2:8 eliminate works of merit men could...

The Bible does NOT say that the Light is not something mysterious or unknown. Those who DO truth come to the light, Jn 3 and truth can be known, Jn 8. Christians cannot walk in the light (1 Jn 1:7) if they do not know what the light is.

My point from 2 Thess 1:8 is salvation is IMPOSSIBLE apart from obedience. Hence belief only cannot save being void of obedience in doing what CHrist says, Lk 6:46. John's water baptism was replaced by Christ's water baptism of the great commission and that water baptism is required to be...

---Again, there is NO APOSTLE alive today passing miraculous gifts to men by laying on of hands. ---the Bible teaches miracles were for a particular time and purpose, thy would lasr TILL (time limiting word) they fulfilled thoses purposes which they did by the end of the first century in bring...

Acts 2 with the Apostles and Acts 10 with Cornelius are the only two places in the NT where the Lord baptized men with the HS. No other place in the NT is anything called baptism with the HS. Acts 8 or 19 the APosltes laid hands upon men passing on an Apostolic gift to that person, this is not...

If Christ did not fulfill the OT law, then the man known as Jesus was not the Christ and ALL the OT law is still in effect, every jot and tittle of it leaving the NT incomplete and non-binding. Yet we know He did fulfill the OT law and prophets from Eph 2:14-16 and Col 2 hence there was a...
