We're not waterboarding the babies, we are waterboarding the devil out of the babies! lol! [jk.]

It has nothing to do with agreeing with me. Ask brother @SovereignGrace or @Preacher4Truth their view of baptism, and you'll find we disagree. It has to do with agreeing with the Scriptures. the "us" Paul is speaking to is indeed Christians, because taking the verse in context, Paul is writing...

Ephesians 1:3-4 disagrees.

Sad but true. We need another Reformation!

So, what you are saying is that WE have to save ourselves; it is not even enough if we repent: We must do something on top of that! This isn't even Arminianism.... this is Pelagianism!

So what you are saying is mankind has the power to resist the very commands of God? Isaiah 55:11 Nope. When Jesus commanded Lazarus to arise, he rose. Because we..... this is going to come as a shock..... are creatures, not gods. It seems we like to fancy ourselves gods in our conversion; we...

Brother, you just contradicted yourself. 2 Peter 1:20. Taking a verse on its own is the very definition of a private interpretation. 2 Corinthians 3:13-18 We clearly see he is talking about speaking plainly of Jesus. The rest of the verse clarifies this. 2 Timothy 3:16 clearly shows that all...

This is much better phrasing, thanks brother. What I meant was don't trust YOURSELF and YOUR interpretation until you have compared it with other Scriptures.

Yeah. That is what it means to study the Scriptures and not a Scripture [singular], Brother. 2 Timothy 3:16 1 Corinthians 2:13

No. You said that and then are trying to push your interpretation upon us, brother. What I am saying is read the KJV. AND THEN GO THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. For example: "For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him...

If we are to take each verse on it's own, what in the world do we do with 1 Corinthians 2:13

This is where we need Scriptures to interpret of the Scriptures. Look around the verse, find the context. See what the rest of Scriptures say. If nothing this further proves that single verses cannot stand alone without also going to the rest of the Scriptures to ensure a proper interpretation.

Beat me to it by like 2 seconds. But yes, here is the problem with interpreting each verse separately; it is never ever consistent.

Here is the problem with that, brother. If we use this logic on Luke 14:26, we get a belief that is not even relatively Christian. This is why we must go to the Whole of Scripture; One verse can [and often is] manipulated; we need to see what the whole of the Bible teaches.

I would like to know the point of posting this. And also, notice that the only difference between my view of the text and yours is that I go to the whole of Scripture to understand what the verse is saying, while you insist on trying to stand those passages alone and from only them and...

Heck no....heck no....heck no...

Plagiarizer.

Jesus Himself said [paraphrasing] "I have other sheep that are not of this fold, them I must also bring. So the 2 folds will become 1"

This is not true. Am I saved by my confession? No. If I am saved will I confess? Absolutely. This verse is not contrary to what I am saying. It says "if you believe." Where does this belief come from? This is the question Calvinism asks. Arminians say "well, it comes from me! I did it; it was...
