    Getting out of the : "sin confessing and repenting" trap.

    If your brother sins against you, Matthew 18:15, - Moreover if your brother  sins against you, go and tell him His fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. - and if he refuses to hear them tell it to the church but if he refuses even to hear the church let...

    Getting out of the : "sin confessing and repenting" trap.

    James 5:16, -Confess your TRESPASSES to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

    Getting out of the : "sin confessing and repenting" trap.

    So Peter was not born again when he sinned? Galatians 2:11-14, - Now when Peter had come to Antioch I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed for certain men came from James he would eat with gentiles but when they came he withdrew and seperated himself, fearing those who were of...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Nowhere does the Bible teach you recieve the Holy Spirit the moment you believe. That is false church doctrine. Believe the Bible over your church Dan. Paul was a believer on the road to Damascus yet had not received the Holy Spirit until three days later when Ananias laid hands on him, Acts...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Just keep ignoring the word so you can hold to your theology, Acts 18:24-25, - Now a certain Jew named Apollos born in Alexandria an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures came to EPHESUS. - This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit he spoke and taught...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    It is impossible for you to understand the gospel as long as you continue to cherry pick verses and ignore the rest. Where in Ephesians 2:8-9 does Paul teach repentance? You already have admitted that one must repent and have faith to be saved. You do not harmonize the Scriptures. Paul taught...

    Getting out of the : "sin confessing and repenting" trap.

    Quote: "It is God changing our minds" We play no part in our repentance? God changes our minds? Does God change our minds to repent and we dont change our minds by our own freewill? Sounds exactly like calvinistic determinism. That is what you have been taught whether you know it or not. If...

    Baloney! Apollos had already taught and made them believers in Christ. Acts 19:2, - Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Paul taught believers that they needed to be baptized into Jesus Christ. If there was nothing for them to do, then Paul just wasted his time and theirs. More ignorance of Scriptures by Danthemailman to teach we are saved by doing nothing! Quote form Dan below, This is ignorance and why Dan...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Johann please read my post #400 on A test of reading comprehension and honesty. Thanks

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    The problem Dan is your ignorance of the scriptures. You have a preconceived doctrine that teaches those Ephesians were saved without doing anything. If you were a good Bible student would know that Paul taught the gospel to those Ephesians. You would also know where in the Bible their...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Yes Obvious, silly comment. Through faith. Faith alone? This teaches the same as Galatians 3:26-27, Baptized into Christ. Baptism is faith in action. All obedience to Gods commandments are done from faith in Jesus. This includes immersion

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    You did not give an answer. You cannot give one new testament scripture that teaches we are immersed into Christ by faith alone Immersion comes after faith. Now we must learn what that immersion is. What baptism is Peter teaching that saves us?, 1Peter 3:20-21, - there is also an antitype which...

    No where does it Also show me where it says Holy Spirit immersion

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    No where does it No, look at verse 26, -for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ. Passage does not say we are baptized into Christ by faith alone. The next passage tells us when we get into Christ. That is baptism. So you are wrong that faith only gets us into Christ. The Bible...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Baptized is how you are placed into Christ. Galatians 3:26-27, - For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ. - for as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Using one scholar is showing bias. Honest men never use one man. I told you to contact multiple Greek scholars and learn what they teach on Colossians 2:12. Your source interjects his biases into his writings. Find good scholars that leave their religion out of their writings.

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    Wrong, I completely agree with Paul, Ephesians 2:8-9. I don't agree with your error of ignorance in twisting what Paul preached. When you say "we did not work for our salvation" You are referring to mans works of meriting salvation. A false misrepresentation of what I believe. Continue to put...
