    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Yes, bet your story straight. Joh 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." Joh 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The fact is that Jesus said to believe is a work. Clearly such work is not the works that Paul spoke against. You need to get your story straight. As it now stands, you are confused about it. Also, Paul spoke of the retribution to those who do not obey the gospel (2 Thess 1:5-8). Similarly...

    Donald Trump says he will be a 'dictator'...

    Biden and the democrats are the ones establishing tyrannical laws, like cars that we can buy, the energy we can use, the tools we can use to defend ourselves, the COVID masks we are forced to wear, the COVID isolation we are forced to endure, the medicine we are pemitted to take, gasoline we are...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The difference is whether it is God who saves or whether it is the act of being baptized that saves. They are not the same thing at all. The RCC and some Protestants believe that it is the act of being baptized that takes away sin. That is the reason for infant baptism. They treat it as a...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Then obviously he was not a believer who was baptized, both of which are conditions. Salvation comes with conditions. Believing in God is the preeminent condition, but not the only condition.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    But that is not what it says. They asked Jesus a question. Jesus answered their question. Their question was what work could they do. Jesus told them the work that they could do was to believe. If that were the case then none would be lost. The command is to be baptized in the name of...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Joh 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." Clearly the ones doing the believing are the "we", the people asking the question. It...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Baptism is not work of the law. Believing is a work; but not a work of the law. Mar 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved.....

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The we are the ones who were justified. Those who were justified are the elect; not vice versa as you would claim. And yes I can read.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    Christ died for the whole world. It is those who believe (and are baptized) that are saved. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith.... Grace is God's part; faith is man's part.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The "we" that Paul is speaking to in Romans 5:10 are those who have been saved. Rom 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Rom 5:2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand...

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    But you have that backward. It is those who have been saved who are the elect; it is not the elect who will be saved.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    The faith of the one to be saved. The only ones that will be saved are those who call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. That was spoken to his disciples, the twelve. You are not one of them. Yes.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    brightfame52 is wrong in what he says about who Jesus died for, but you must be careful about your claim about who will or will not see heaven; that is not up to you to determine who will or who won't see heaven.

    The Gospel of Reconciliation

    No. He died for them, but they who do not believe in Christ are not reconciled to God.

    Who is the "we" in Romans 5:10?

    Why do we need born again

    I certainly agree with that, but, I don't know why you posted it.

    Why do we need born again

    Your claim that Evangelical Christians have not been born again is really despicable. I have reported you for it.

    Why do we need born again

    About 70% of the people in the United States claim to be Christian. I guess that you think that only about 30% of the people in the United States are dead in trespasses and sins. Interesting. I suppose you could say not all those 70% claiming to be Christian are not really Christian. But I...
