    THE Gospel

    So you advocate trying to be like God. Seems to me that that is what Satan told Eve. But you try to say my faith in His work on the cross is not real until I do something to prove it. God sees the heart and knows those that believe Him. The child of God does not have to prove anything to...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    I am truly sorry that you see it as you do. Israel has a future on this earth. Jesus will set up the promised Kingdom on this earth. It will be a Jewish kingdom. The body of Christ, those that are saved under grace are in heaven and will always be there. They are a part of Him and not...

    THE Gospel

    Religious people just refuse to see that what they do based on religious works will not save them. Jesus said it was impossible for a man to save himself by what he does. But the religious mind refuses to believe Jesus' words. Salvation has only been made possible by the work of God (Jesus)...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    Not the same body. No one taught that those under grace are part of the same body as Christ. Only Paul taught we are His Body. As long as you insist that we become Israel you will always be wrong. The Jews and the Jewish Proselytes (Cornelius) were under the law of Moses and that included a...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    I just can't understand why people refuse to believe that Jesus has already paid for their sins on the cross and that the gospel of grace says they only have to have faith in His work to be saved. But I do see that religious people take pride in their religious works. Why can't people see that...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    Yes, really.

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    It is common sense that if Peter did not know the Gentiles were to be included on that day then how could he be preaching to the Gentiles. God had to send Peter a vision to get him to see it. What Peter preached was to the Jews who were under the law only. Water washing was part of the Jewish...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    Peter was not preaching to the Gentiles. He did not know they were included until many years later. Paul was specifically sent to the Gentile with a gospel of grace, no law, no water baptism.

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    Noah and his family were not saved by the water. The water was Gods judgement on those that sinned by not believing what God said. The Ark that Noah built saved them through the water. Noah was told by God to build an Ark. It was built by human hands (Noah’s hands). The waters of God‘s wrath...

    THE Gospel

    Those that teach water baptism saves a person are in direct opposition to what Paul taught. No religious works, rituals or otherwise will save a person. Only placing faith in His work on the cross where He paid for the sins of mankind will save a person.

    THE Gospel

    Again I say that Verse 3 does not say anything about water baptism. repenting or the requirement to eat a ritual Lords Supper. As a matter of fact the only requirement is to believe the gospel as stated in the verse 3 and 4. In simple words """water""" baptism does not save anyone.

    THE Gospel

    Acts 15:10-11 10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they." NKJV -----What was the...

    Understanding "dispensations.”

    I made this post so that all those intellectuals out there that think they know all about what Dispensationalist believe can be informed of the truth. I have heard many on these forums attack, character assassinate, and harass people that teach Dispensational doctrines, and they call them, and...

    Understanding "dispensations.”

    7. THE DAY OF THE LORD; A. God will dispense both wrath and justice upon the world which has rejected his Son (Psa 2:1-12). God's Prophetic Program, which was temporarily interrupted when the Dispensation of Grace began, will resume at the "time of Jacob's trouble" (Jer 30:7). Thus Israel will...

    Understanding "dispensations.”

    4. DISPENSATION OF PROMISE: A. God dispensed a promise to Abram: "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:...and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Gen 12:2,3). God also promised that he would...

    Understanding "dispensations.”

    There has been some who say the teachings of Dispensationalists is all wrong. But their knowledge of it is all wrong. Most dispensationalist agree upon 7 Dispensations. However, there are no set amount of dispensations that can be arrived at in the Bible. Paul in Ephesians 2, lists 3...

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    If what you say is true then no one will go to heaven because all mankind sins. Jesus' shed blood on the cross paid for the sins of the whole world but only those who place their faith in it will be saved. If, as you say, He only paid for past sins then that means He (Jesus) must shed His...

    shutting up the kingdom

    I think most missed the purpose of the OP. When I posted the story (A Tragic Story) religious people were telling the man that he had to stop sinning in the flesh in order to go to heaven. I think this scripture is a condemnation on those that shut the gates of heaven to those that would go...

    ROMANS 8 EXPLAINED

    We abide in Him by faith in Him. Meaning faith, belief, trust, and confidence in His work on the cross where He paid for our sins of the flesh. A child of God has been spiritually placed in Christ by the Holy Spirit. It is our spirit that is placed in Christ and since He is sinless so are our...
