They're the same thing. Circumcision of the heart occurs at Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I always thought that it was because Cain did not sacrifice the best of his crops to God. Cain had faith in God as well, otherwise he wouldn't have sacrificed anything to Him. According to you, Cain was born again.

In 2015, a 16-year-old student from Jiangsu, China, tried to board a train. She couldn’t even purchase a ticket. The student, Zhong Pei, tried enrolling in classes at her university. But she was not allowed to do that either. Zhong had committed a serious crime: She was guilty of being...

Fully agree with Helen's OP. We are instructed by our Lord to be loving towards even our enemies. How much more should we exude love toward one another here? 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there...

Greetings everyone. I recently read through the book of Psalms again and wrote down parts of each one that stood out to me and so I thought I'd share them here and get a discussion going. The version I was reading from was [NKJV] so I'm going to try and quote from that online. Feel free to add...

I don't think that jewelry is something that a pastor should buy or have much of. James says that those adorned in much jewelry will burn the flesh of the wearers as a Testament against them.

In view of sinless perfectionism, if someone rests in their good works and sanctification of the flesh, can it be said that they are putting their confidence in their flesh? When Christian's look to their obedience as their rock and sustainer of their salvation, more or equally so than to...

Belief is arguably not a work, it's the correct desired state of one's soul toward God. Regardless, faith in the Son of God IS the biblical prescription for salvation. It's not something I am making up here, like you're suggesting. Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a person is not justified by the...

Yes it is. We certainly dont save ourselves. But we're supposed to confidently believe that Christ paid for our sins. That's what he wants us to do; come boldly to the throne of grace. To ask of Him whatever we wish. To have faith to move mountains. Jesus wants us to have great faith, like a...

I don't think getting so semantical helps anything. "Accept" can be used interchangeably with "believe" for example.

I think works are just an indication that someone has been justified though. The alternative is that our works could ever come close to the finished work of the cross, which devalues Christ's shed blood. We cannot hope to pay our ransom ourselves, hence the need of Christ in the first place. He...

I read the first page. I could probably argue about stuff but lately I just dont seem to have the energy anymore.

For the record, I do not ascribe to replacement theology and I do agree with your assessment of Rom 11

IF they repent of their unbelief.

I have on a few points of doctrine.

I'm aware of that mindset "God approves of and endorses everything I do and think" I used to be like that when I was younger.

Jesus said: Mark 2:17 Matthew 9:12 Luke 5:31 Thx

So now going to church is a bad thing? What? Look, just because you may happen to attend a poor church or a church you're overly critical of, doesn't mean there are no good churches out there with good pastors. Why do you think it's a good idea to drive people away from a designated house if...
