    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    In John 8:34-35, Jesus basically said that the slave to sin will not abide in the house forever. Meaning, the sinning Christian will not abide in the house of Christ forever. We see an example of this in Matthew 13:41-42. Christ will send forth His angels and they will gather out of His...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    This sounds like Dual Nature Theology (Which is false). You appear to believe (that when you sin) the spirit does not sin because of your belief on Jesus as your Savior, but your flesh sins instead. Sorry. This simply is not the case. Romans 7:14-24 is Paul talking in the present tense from...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    I respectfully disagree. While Hebrews 7:12 is true in the fact that the law has indeed changed, that does not mean all laws in the Old Testament Laws of Moses have changed. We are still commanded to love God and love our neighbor (Which is the moral law). Paul says that the Law is good if...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    There are people who look like demons because they covered every area of their body with tattoos. There is no flesh to show but only ink. Even their eyes they have changed to look black and they altered their tongue to also look demonic. They look like something out of a horror movie. Stop...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    The thing is that we are also justified by works and not by faith alone according to James 2:24. We are also saved by abiding in the Holy Spirit, as well. For the Spirit is our downpayment of our inheritance. No inheritance means no salvation. So it’s not just Christ alone. Sola Scriptura...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    Lets put it to you this way: My son would know those verses by heart on how God condemns tattoos (Which was of the pagans). So the chances of my son getting mixed up in the darkness of tattoos would be very slim (Especially if I re-enforced the darkness of tattoos). If by some odd chance that...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    I see Christians justifying tattoos as no different than when Christians justify porn as being okay with God. Both are sins and they should be repented of. But today, we are living the last days and men have a form of godliness but they deny the power thereof. Believers are not really...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes, I have known for a long time that all three persons of the Godhead took part in the resurrection. But I appreciate it anyways. The point of Romans 8:11 is not only did the Spirit raise Jesus from the dead, but the Spirit will also quicken (make alive, resurrect) our mortal bodies who...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    @LoveofTruth I honestly don’t think I will have time to keep replying to you like before. It is very time consuming to give you a proper reply and you wrote a lot. My life situation changed and I don’t have as much time as before. Anyways, blessings be unto you in the Lord.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    As for Romans 8:9: Well, actually I quoted a website that misquoted it. So sorry about that. I should have double checked the verse. But I have been extremely busy with personal matters (that I did not get the time to do so - as I normally would do). But check Romans 8:11. No Spirit. No...

    The Doctrine of Baptisms

    I originally had 9 baptisms on my list. I have now updated this to 12. May the love of the Lord Jesus Christ shine upon you all this fine day.

    The Doctrine of Baptisms

    Some Christian websites mention a “baptism of the dead” from 1 Corinthians 15:29; They think this is a completely different baptism but there is not enough information on it to talk about it. But this is simply a lack of their not understanding Scripture. Romans 6:3-9 gives us the symbolic...

    The Doctrine of Baptisms

    If anybody wants to share something, it would be appreciated. May the Lord Jesus bless you all.

    The Doctrine of Baptisms

    The Doctrine of Baptisms: (Hebrews 6:2) Baptisms God does upon us after we have received God’s grace through faith: (According to His Word): #1. The Holy Spirit baptizes us into Jesus Christ and the church at salvation “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body...” (1 Corinthians...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    While baptism into the Spirit was not a requirement for salvation under the Old Covenant, it is a requirement under the New Covenant because the Spirit is the down payment of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:14). Without any inheritance, we cannot be saved. For Paul talks about those who do...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    When I initially created this thread I held to the view for a while that Spirit baptism replace water baptism but after watching the following video by Alan Ballou on faith (that is not really about baptism entirely), I am now 100% convinced that water baptism is for Christians today. The bulk...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I agree that the one baptism stated in Ephesians 4:5 is water baptism. The bulk of the context supports what we must do vs. God doing something. As for Acts of the Apostles 2:38: Pentecost was an all Jewish audience. Jews are not like Gentiles in that they already believe in God. So I don’t...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I agree with what you stated above here. The Bible teaches that it is more than simply unbelief that can separate a believer from God. Jesus warned how certain sins can destroy our souls in hellfire and or lead to condemnation in the afterlife (See: Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:28-30, Matthew...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    My apologies for concluding the wrong thing about what you believe. Based on what you said it did not make sense from the limited information I had. I am still trying to figure out the full scope of what you believe. But thank you for clarifying. Brother: This sounds like two baptisms you...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    @LoveofTruth (Continued from previous post): Source: King James Pure Bible Search WebChannel Server Okay. So looking at all of the instances of the words “baptize, baptism, etcetera” we can see that these words generally overall have a meaning to be water baptized. God knowing that we...
