    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Works For Salvation Verses (After We are Saved By God’s Grace): “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” (James 2:24). “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:17). 10 “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    It’s a red flag when you ignore verses like 1 John 1:7 in that it says that: “If we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.” You don’t believe the word IF in that walking in the light is conditional...

    #7. John 3:36 (The Greek word “apeitheō” used in John 3:36 for the English words: “believeth not” (KJB) is translated as “obey not” or “disobedient” in other English bible verses. For example: 1 Peter 3:1, and 1 Peter 3:20 translates apeitheō as “obey not” or “disobedient” and it is used...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    @mailmandan The Two Sides of the Coin of Faith: The 1st Side of the Coin of Faith: Faith starts off as a belief or trust in Jesus Christ as one's Savior (John 3:16). We are first saved by God's grace through faith without the deeds of the law or works ALONE (Ephesians 2:8-9). We are saved...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    I am only going to address the error of your beginning of your post here because my time is valuable and I have other things I need to do that are more important in regards to the things of God (with those who are open to the Word of God). As I already demonstrated before, 1 John 1:8 is in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    While I believe Ephesians 4:5 is referring to the one baptism as water baptism (because the context is focused on three things that we must do as believers), we have to also recognize that 1 Corinthians 12:13 is referring to a Spirit baptism (of which is not said in God’s Word that it has ended...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Well, we have to be careful in our reading and studying the King James Bible. We cannot always enforce our modern English upon our reading of it. There are archaic words in the King James Bible that we have to properly understand (Seeing it was written in 1600’s English). For example: The...

    Legacy Peak (New Christian film) (Watch for free currently at Pureflix)

    What I liked about this Christian film was that it really uplifts how much we need to rely on God in tough times and how we need to love one another (Especially within the family). Some funny moments are in the film I liked a lot, as well. While the ending brief spiritual message with...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    @LoveofTruth Here is a good article to consider. Did Paul Sin in Acts 21? | Gordon Ferguson Granted, I think looking at the Scriptures more and not making snap judgments on the apostles and what they did is the best thing to do. I have even started to retract my old commentaries on Acts 21...

    So if we don’t let Jesus reign over us, we will be slain. Jesus says, “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46).

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    This is the Jesus (described below) that most here don’t know about. Luke 19:27 (NKJV). “But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’”

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I see water baptism as being a later requirement of the faith that we should strive to obey after we are first saved by God’s grace through faith without works. I see the faith as starting off as a belief alone (in regards to our salvation), but faith continues and is grows to be manifested as...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    #1. I believe the New Covenant officially began with Christ’s death and the 613 Laws of Moses officially ended at that point. There are numerous verses that teach this in Scripture (Hebrews 9:17) (Matthew 27:51) (Matthew 26:28). #2. I think we agree on the Parable of the Tax Collector and the...

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    I don’t understand why you don’t want to explain Scripture here. If you are on the side of the truth, surely you should be able to at some point get back to me and explain it with the Word of God. There is no rush on explaining the truth of God’s Word. But if you simply don’t want to comment...

    Nowhere did I ever said I believe I am doomed. That is your false accusation. Anyways, while I love you in Jesus, I can see now you simply are not wanting to deal with what Scripture says.

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    Did Jesus wrap up the sermon on the Mount by saying that all we have to do is believe in Jesus and not to worry about sin or just trust in the blood of Jesus? That’s not the impression I get by His sermon. Jesus was not leading up to saying something like…. “Look it’s not about really...

    You cannot ignore other verses at the expense of other ones. What do you make of 1 John 1:7? It also talks about being cleansed by the blood, too.

    Does God expect us to obey the hundreds of NT commands on day one of our service to be saved?

    But if that is so… then why would Jesus give us these kinds of scare tactics? Jesus was talking to believers here and not unbelievers. For example: In Matthew 6:15 it says you if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. An unbeliever can forgive everyone in the entire world, but if don’t...

    To be continually washed in the blood you have to also walk in the light as He is in the light. This is in 1 John 1:7, and it’s conditional because it has the IF word in there.
