    Water Baptism:

    The gospel of God's grace is not the same as the gospel of the KINGDOM PROMISED TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL. Neither Jesus or the 12 taught that man was no longer under the condemnation of the law of Moses. Under the Law of Moses it was all about what the Jews did for their salvation. However...

    Being honest:

    A lie. You did not see the word """IF""" in what I wrote. You just want to nit-pic what I said for your elevation.

    Water Baptism:

    God saved them, not the water.

    Water Baptism:

    Well obviously I believe it or I would not have said it. When will you acknowledge that Jesus said very few would find it.

    Water Baptism:

    The only place that says you MUST repent and be water baptized is in Acts 2. The problem is when people want to say Peter is talking to the Gentiles too. But he wasn't. It is common sense to acknowledge that if Peter did not know, at that time, that the Gentile would be included why do people...

    THE CHURCH

    It seems you can't read what I wrote. I made my points with simple words.

    THE CHURCH

    What is the Church? The Church is made up of Christians (see above). John 4:20-24... (NIV) 20 "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." 21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will...

    THE CHURCH

    The Church Many people interpreted the scriptures to have different meanings. This is why there are so many different church denominations and doctrines. Is Christ divided? NO. Is the "SPIRITUAL CHURCH" divided? NO. Is man's understanding divided? YES. Are church denominations, organized...

    Being honest:

    After all that I have heard about salvation I find a truth; if I am saved from all the things in this world except my sinful nature, then there is no way I can be saved. I think I live a fairly good life. I try to be merciful, fair, helpful to others. But I cannot fool myself into thinking I am...

    Water Baptism:

    According to Paul's gospel of grace it is the spirit that washes away the sins of the children of God. 1 Cor 6:11 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. NKJV No where in the...

    Water Baptism:

    So all we have to do to get our sins washed away is to be water baptized, right? We don't need to place our faith in what Jesus did on the cross where HE, HE, HE,. washed away the sins of the whole world when he shed His righteous blood on a cross to pay for them. Sorry but I believe what...

    Water Baptism:

    Born of the Spirit is not the point. How is water baptism performed by a man be equal to God's work of cleaning with water? And immediately where it says water it is water baptism, right? The very next verse says flesh and the Spirit. I believe what I wrote in the OP. Sorry we disagree.

    Water Baptism:

    To you it is a given but why did Nicodemus bring it up? Looks like you disagree.

    Explaining the Trinity

    Quote "let us create". us means more than one. God is love. A love that no man can achieve in the flesh. It is my opinion that there are 3 that love each other with a love that man can not understand. The children of God love Him more than this world. Matt 6:24 -- You Cannot Serve God and...

    THE LORD'S SUPPER;

    [Lord's Supper/The Bread of Life/The living water: CONTINUED from last post John 6:32-65 . . (NIV) 52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of...

    THE LORD'S SUPPER;

    Subjects; Lord's Supper/The Bread of Life/The living water: Many people teach that we are commanded to perform the Lord's Supper as a ceremony and ritual "in order to be saved." That by doing this they can assure their salvation. Some believe that the bread and drink actually become the body...

    Believing God

    There is no salvation without believing God. When Adam and Eve were in the garden, their sin was not believing God when He said not to eat of the tree. Satan told them that it was to their benefit to eat of the tree. Who did they believe, God or Satan? When the Jews got to the gateway city...

    Water Baptism:

    Who are the WE? I suggest that you really read what Paul wrote. After all Jesus sent him to the world with a gospel of God's grace, a free gift that some seem to think they have to do things to get. That mean they think they have to earn it by what they do.

    Water Baptism:

    There are very few in the world and on this forum that truly teach the gospel of grace. The gospel of grace is all about what God has done for mankind, not what man does for God. The religious make it to be one of obedience to rules and regulations but that IS NOT the gospel of grace. Paul...

    Water Baptism:

    What is noticed is that not one of the scriptures you have used were written by Paul. Also you have said that mankind will be condemned by their not being water baptism even if they believe in Jesus' shed blood that paid for the sins of the whole world. All you are doing is telling people that...
