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 that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ - (was it to the Jews and the Gentiles, or just to the Jews?)...

I, personally, believe that the only sin that condemns a person in this age of God’s grace is the sin of unbelief. Belief = faith, trust, confidence. In the Garden it wasn’t eating the apple that was the sin. The sin was unbelief in what God said. Eve believed Satan rather than God...

The Roman Catholic Church claims that the early Christians were all Roman Catholics, and that (aside from the Orthodox Church) all Christians were Roman Catholics until the Protestant Reformation. It claims that the Apostle Peter was the first Pope, ruling from Rome. It also claims that it gave...

This article was written by me and used on Christian debate sites. I believe it to be true based on the scriptures given. - Subject: Built on the wrong apostle: - It is believed, by many, that the grace church was started by Peter on the day of Pentecost. But if you look close all that is...

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 examine what I really believe about God and my relationship with...

James and Paul on salvation: The most serious area of disagreement between James and Paul is their explanation of salvation. James indicates that good works must be added to faith to produce salvation. James 2:17-20 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But...

I believe that true repentance is necessary for the child of God. But that repentance is not a ritual that is done when they think they have sinned. It is a humble attitude that a person knows the need for Jesus’ work on the cross to save them from their sinful condition. I believe in a...

It has been my lot to find out, first hand, the results of those that teach sinless perfection in the flesh; that God changes our sinful flesh nature. The result of this teaching causes many to give up hope and turn away from Jesus. - When I was about 25 years old I worked for a factory in...

Question, Did Jesus' shed blood on the cross pay for all the sins of the world?

It is said that faith is not faith unless it has works as a result. Many use the statement “you have to reach out and take it” as an example of having to do the work of taking the free gift of salvation. --- That is the way a man might see it. However; “Faith is the substance of things not...

Galatians 2:6-10 6 But from those who seemed to be something — whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man — for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had...

James 2:20-21 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? (NKJ) FACT! No, Abraham was not!　 ---- according to the scriptures He was accounted righteous (JUSTIFIED)...

: The religious Christian Church is (and has been since the RCC came into existence) teaching a blended, harmonized gospel that takes what Jesus and His Apostles preached to the Jews which included the Law and what Paul preached for the grace Church that excluded the Law and mixes them together...

1 Tim 1:14-17 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy...

Those that do not believe in OSAS are the ones that believe they save themselves by not sinning in the flesh. Those that believe in OSAS are the ones that believe they are saved by what Jesus did on the cross and not by their ability to not sin in the flesh. Phil 3:3 3 For we are the...

God has chosen the sinner instead of the self righteous 1 Cor 1:27-30 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things...

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 gospel...

Paul’s “in Christ” doctrine based on 15 scriptures 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God...

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 that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ (was it to the Jews and the Gentiles, or just to the Jews?) Acts 2:31-38 (NKJV) 31 he...

The sin that kept the Jewish people out of the promised land was the sin of unbelief; God told them to go into the land and that He would drive the people there out with Hornets. But did they believe God? No and therefore God made them wonder in the dessert for 40 years. Jesus came to Israel...
