    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    At that time, under those circumstances it was right for Peter to descend with those who had not ascended to things as they are now. So, yes, those who now descend to the terms of pre-Christ times, if not only for those who have not known God, descend into the Law and into His death unnecessarily.

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    I have both done it and recommend it as such. However, there is no commandment that supersedes Jesus's very simple word on the matter; and you are more than suggesting there is, as one who prefers the Law. Which shows a lack of understanding on your part. Peter had every reason to take things...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Okay, good, you started out at least seemingly defending the church as if they had successfully navigated down through these past centuries without fault, now you have named what was actually foretold and factual regarding the shortfall. Still, you seem to be in the habit of kicking the can...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Now you are mixing things up. Slow down. You asked me to give you scripture references for the fact that the church has fallen into apostacy "already at work" during the time of the apostles. To which I answered saying there are no scriptures regarding these times except what was...

    The messiah didn't come yet.

    @Eliyahu613 Okay...if you are going to have two treads, here it is again: They say that he did ride on a donkey, like the whole Middle East in those days, but that is where it stops. He did not bring any peace, the battle bow, the horses and the chariots, symbols of war, were not cut off...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Where have you been? It is not I who claim these things, but have witnessed them as all of history has since the scriptures were canonized. What is in the scriptures only foretold of all this--which I did give scripture reference on. Other than being foretold, there is only one place that the...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Yes, in a manner of speaking..."but the end is not yet" although at the door. Each world event is a mere relatively small event is some respects. When we read of Noah and the flood being over all the earth, all does mean all. However, even the cross was a relatively small event beginning with...

    The eternal sign that God has set in the Jewish people

    Might have to slow down and take things precept upon precept, one at a time. Yes and no. Yes, nobody saw those thing occurring in this world (that's how spiritual things work). But, no, many have seen and do see in heavenly places---which is to say, from the other side of that great chasm guard...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    No, that is the Preterist position. That is not what Jesus said of His return either. What He said was, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3:20). Which in the original...

    The eternal sign that God has set in the Jewish people

    They say that he did ride on a donkey, like the whole Middle East in those days, but that is where it stops. He did not bring any peace, the battle bow, the horses and the chariots, symbols of war, were not cut off from Jerusalem, and his dominion was not from sea to sea and to the ends of the...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    That assumes Jesus is not the baptism. Except that He is--He is the baptism, and that baptism will not be take from those who receive Him. To the contrary, those who are baptized with water and do not receive Christ, are not received of Him.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    Yes, and it began way back then when the church did not believe all that Jesus said of His return, but instead believed the foretold false teachings. Instead of hearing what He actually said, and that it would be "soon", and "must shortly take please" implicating that generation, referring to...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Acts 1 The words are to "O Theophilus" meaning "friend of God." Which is to say, to one who was then in the local context friendly to God. But now being part and parcel as the eternal word from God, the greater context is also to include all who are friends of God. In other words the book of...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    The list is good. We could go down that list and mark them: Wrong--leader, wrong--focus, wrong--on prophecies, etc. That was Israel. Now, what does the church expect regarding Jesus' second coming? (again, just briefly)

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    And why did they miss Him, what did thy not expect? (Just briefly)

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    That is all good--but what did Israel miss?

    That has been my question of you.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    I told you I did and have kept it no secret.

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    I'm repeating myself. It serves no purpose to tell you what you have not yet acknowledged as even being part of what is foretold of these times. But you are not there yet. You're not ready. You are still claiming that the church only acted commendably. But here is what you should be looking at...

    Why I Am a Cessationist

    It is pointless to list what the early church fathers did not miss and believed, when the issue rather is what they did miss and believed to the contrary. Even so, what man meant for evil, God meant for good. Still, it is not good to side with or defend their error. They have answered for...
