    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    I It cannot be both due to the context. Paul said himself His sins were washed away in baptism, Acts 22:16 Ananias referred to Saul not Paul as brother, before he was immersed. Saul was not saved. Once Saul became a saved Christian he was then referred to as Paul, Acts 13:9 Then Saul, who...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Calvinism is a domino religion. Knock down one of the Letters of TUILP and just like dominos they all fall down. Because pinseeker knows this about his theology. You will never get him to admit, Perseverance of the saints is error. John Calvin will not allow it. You are correct that...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Acts 22:13 "brother Saul" Ananias was a jew. Paul was a jew. That is why Ananias refers to Paul as brother. Not a brother in Christ. Fact remains: Paul said his sins were washed away in water immersion, Acts 22:16. Not before!

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You refuse to answer that Paul did in fact say his sins were washed away NOT in faith alone but by water immersion. I see Danthemailman has sent a link on how to explain away the scriptures, Acts 22 :16. Answer my question for a change instead of dodging. Can we be saved without obeying Gods...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Ananias then taught Paul a false gospel if not Ananias. You did not answer, I asked you if Ananias taught Paul the truth? Now, if you are correct in your interpretation then what did Ananias teach Paul? Paul said no man taught him the gospel. What did Paul mean? First, Paul spoke directly to...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Talk about dodging the question! It is irrelevant if Ananias said it or Paul! Paul was speaking in Acts 22:16! Paul taught that his sins were washed away in immersion. Paul is teaching how Ananias taught him the gospel. When did Paul say His sins were washed away? He said when he obeyed the...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    What came directly out of Paul's mouth? Acts 22:16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord. When did Paul say he had his sins forgiven? a). When he had faith only? b). When he obeyed Jesus' gospel ie Mark 16:15-16 and was...

    Explain what you mean by water baptismal regeneration?

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    So you too! You are going to speak falsehoods about me and say I taught Paul merited His salvation? I made myself clear. Paul did not merit salvation by obeying Jesus' gospel. Answer my question. When did Paul say His sins were washed away? a). When he believed in Jesus. b). When he obeyed...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Peter had not yet taught Cornelius the gospel when Cornelius had received the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 10:44. Peter taught it was not until Cornelius heard the gospel that he got saved, Acts 11:14. If Cornelius received salvation before he learned about Jesus. Then Cornelius was saved...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    We don't have to speculate period! When did Paul say his sins were washed away? Hmm? Acts 22:16, when he obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ, Mark 16:15-16

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    You just said Paul merited his salvation rather than accepting the true gospel of Christ has obedience to His commandments, Mark 16:15-16. Again no way Paul merited His salvation by being baptized into Christ, Acts 22:16 ; Galatians 3:26-27; Colossians 2:12 Obedience to Jesus' gospel does not...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Did Cornelius get saved by Holy Spirit baptism? Or did Peter say he was saved by hearing the word of the gospel? Acts 11:14 Who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved. Cornelius was not saved by Holy Spirit but by hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Yes, absolutely! Acts 9:6-9 Paul immediately obeyed Jesus' command and went into the city waiting for what he must be told to do. Would you come to complete faith in Christ if he came directly to you and told you with His own mouth that he was Jesus the Messiah? Paul certainly did come to...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Yes I can simplify the gospel unto salvation in a Biblical, scripturally accurate way. First, James point in James 2:19 is faith with no works is an example of faith alone. James is condemning faith and no works as dead, without worth. Just read the very next verse in context. James 2:19-20 You...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    No, no earning anything in salvation period. Danthemailman likes to use straw man arguments by misrepresenting what I believe and teach. He makes the mistake that most all sola fide followers make. Grouping all works of every kind as meritorious before salvation. Then magically changing there...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    James uses the demons as example of faith only and no works, James 2:19 You believe there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe(faith alone) and tremble. Faith alone exists but only in the negative in scripture, James 2:24.

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    Because they are Gods works not mans. The confusion is caused by not understanding that the Bible teaches different kinds of works in the scriptures. Does Gods work save us? Colossians 2:12, Yes. Then to say the gospel is faith and no works is unbiblical. We know we are saved by the works of...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    You are not following what I am telling you. You teach Acts 2:38 is all there is to obey in Jesus' gospel. Acts 2:38 does not even teach faith in Christ. Acts 2:37 shows they had faith in Christ. My point: you must go to other verses other than Acts 2:38 to learn the whole gospel of Jesus...

    James Was Not Talking about Faith in Jesus Christ for Salvation

    More misrepresentation by you and Danthemailman. I teach we are not saved by meritorious works salvation. I do believe we are saved by working the works of God, John 6:28-29. This is the same kind of works James teaches justifies, saves us, James 2:24. So no, I did not contradict. Did James...
