If only you meant that Christians do not commit sins because of the power of the Spirit within them, you might be able to rightly divide the Word. Romans has an 8 chapter teaching that you are taking verses out of context from the middle! Because the OT saints still had their sin natures in...

You know what? I read your OP wrong! I thought you said Jesus could not forgive sins before the cross. That's why I said you must have forgotten. I just forgot how to read!

Right, because sin was the reason why Jesus came. 1 John 3:5

You must have forgotten Matthew 9:2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” Matthew 9:5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your...

I don't think we have enough space...

Yes, the New Covenant had to do with the ministry of the Spirit, which wasn't given until the day of Pentecost. Still those baptized became disciples of either John the Baptist or later Jesus, though by His disciples. THAT would be whose name they were baptized into.

Yes, Jesus sent out his disciples two by two and they baptized the baptism of repentance, same as John the Baptist, but also Peter on the Day of Pentecost. I wish there was a record of whose name Jesus' disciples baptized with. But I do not believe those whom Jesus disciples baptized needed to...

Jesus didn't NEED to be baptized for repentance from sin, but was "to fulfill all righteousness." So must we be water baptized. But more importantly, we MUST be born again which is Spirit baptism. Those who are not filled with the Spirit do not belong to Christ, even if they have obeyed and been...

Right. Some people say we MUST be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, while 'Jesus only' people say that's wrong, and if you have been you must be rebaptized in the name of Jesus only. But that verse was for those who had only had been baptized for the repentance of...

@DJT_47 Respond to #77. Let's see how much you actually know. Stop sidestepping the question. Just admit you don't know the answer. Quoting the text instead of interpreting it as requested is lying

Jesus was teaching the Jews. All the letters were written to the Church. They passed them around to all the churches, so it didn't matter who it was addressed to. It even says that. You're not even a Christian, are you. You are just trolling, writing nonsense..

But he's not teaching them anything just for them. He teaches the same gospel to all. So if you don't want to be wise, then don't read them. You may be right. You may not be able to understand them anyway.

Describe what it means. There is more than one way to interpret it. With or without verse 23. Some believe that tongues are understood by unbelievers. That's dumb because it is obvious they fail to use 23 as context. Seeing as you mentioned the Day of Pentecost, I bet that's how you interpret...

I asked you a question based on your knowledge that tongues was a sign to the unbeliever. How so? In what way? You didn't say.

In other words, you do not believe the letters from Paul are scriptures. 2 Peter 3:15-16 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them...

How do you interpret 1 Corinthians 14:22 AND 23. Why would an unbeliever think you are crazy if you speak in tongues?

All "commandments of the Lord" are written to everyone in the New Covenant. You are making excuses for your unbelief. You do not have the faith of a child. Only a fool would take Paul's writings to the Colosians, the Corinthians, the Galatians, the Ephesians or any other epistle as not for us today

tongues is not understood by any man, EXCEPT by the supernatural gift of interpretation of tongues.. Only God understands the tongues spoken. Once you understand this rule, then you can understand what actually happened on the Day of Pentecost, but not until then. 1 Corinthians 14:2. 2 For he...

Just because you don't have any of the gifts of the Spirit, nor the Spirit, Himself, doesn't mean that I don't, or that @marksman doesn't. I remember laughing out loud when I was reading a book against Pentecostals and the writer said, "If I don't have any of the gifts of the Spirit, then they...
