    Christian "gay Bashing"

    Hello Religusnut, Don't you think that in this case, the law is in accordance with God's will? As Christians, are we not supposed to give shelter even to those we don't like? Are we not called to love our enemies or those we don't like? As Christians, are we not supposed to be humble and...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Hello NewGuy, I have always said that God can and do hear all prayers, including the sinners. I have never changed in that stand, and anyone reading this thread between you and me already knows that. You believe that God can only hear the prayrs of the righteous. And now you are saying that...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    My brother, where in my post did I ever say that God does not hear? Look back in my post #68. I stated, "We have never said that God cannot hear or does not hear because we know that God can and do hear everything. Salvation is indeed a gift, but where in the Bible does it say that you...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    My brother, I have always said that the Apostles baptized with BOTH water and spirit. I asked you to show me where in the Bible it says that the Apostles DID NOT baptize with water. You show me Scripture in Acts where they baptize with the Holy Spirit, but you ignore the scripture where they...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    A person who repents is a person of righteousness because to repent of your sins is the right thing to do. God hears the prayers of ALL people, so if a sinner repents as he/she prays to God asking for forgiveness, God will know about it because He hears the prayers of ALL. Luke 15: 7.....In...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Hello NewGuy, We have never said that God cannot hear or does not hear because we know that God can and do hear everything. God never turns a blind eye or a deaf ear to our sins. He knows them all. The verses in the Bible is interpreted to mean that God listens to the prayers of the...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Thank you, NewGuy. That is what I've been saying all along. God choose to hear the prayers of the righteous rather than the wicked. :) The fact that He would hear the prayers of the righteous does not mean that He cannot hear the prayers of the wicked. God hears and sees everything and...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    NewGuy, let me put it much simpler terms so that you can understand it better. I asked you a question. The question I asked you earlier is: Do you believe that God CAN ONLY hear the prayers of Christians? You CAN answer that question, but you WOULD not answer it. Why? Because if you say...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    My brother, Scripture clearly says the Lord would not have listened. It did not say the Lord CANNOT listen. God is not deaf. As I pointed out earlier, God would answer the prayers of the righteous rather than the wicked. That does not mean He cannot hear the prayers of the wicked...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    NewGuy, That biblical verse does not mean that God cannot see what the wicked is doing nor hear what they are saying. God knows all things because He can see and hear all things. This biblical verse you quoted is simply saying that God watches over those who are righteous rather than those...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    NewGuy, did you not read my last post? I stated that God can also hear and know the prayers of a non-Christian because He is God. Do you believe that God can only hear the prayers of a Christian? Could you answer that question? In Christ, Selene

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Hello NewGuy, A Christian is one who follow God's will rather than his/her own will. God hears ALL prayers. He hears and sees all. He is not blind nor deaf. God even hears and knows what a non-Christian prays for because He is God. Do you believe that God can only hear the prayers of a...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    From your own post. I asked you this question: Is it "works theology" if a person prays to God? Your answer to my post is the following: Based on your answer, it seems useless that a person whom YOU considered unsaved to pray; therefore, I assumed that you do indeed consider "praying" as...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    I see.....so since you think that you are already saved by God, you don't need to pray to Him anymore? He saved you, so you don't need Him anymore? Is that it? My brother, the only ones who are truely saved are those who are already in Heaven. As long as you sin, you will need repentance and...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Hello NewGuy, Is it "works theology" if a person prays to God? Baptism came from God. All the Apostles baptized with both water and with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, who is the Way to salvation, was also baptized with both water and spirit in the Jordan River. Are we not supposed to...

    Christian "gay Bashing"

    Hello Religusnut, Racism is found in every color. I am not caucasian. I'm actually an Asian-Pacific Islander, and racism is found even among my people. There are some Chamorros who are racist against Chuukese and vice versa. As for money, Christians must place their trust in God more...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    Yes. 1 Peter 3:20-21 Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you ALSO: not the putting away...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    My brother, baptism did not come from me; therefore, I never made it the law of the New Testament. Baptism came from God. It was God who ordered baptism and ALL His Apostles baptized with water and spirit. Show me where in the Bible did it say that the Apostles DID NOT baptize with water...

    Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

    My brother, I have never said that we should deny the Holy Spirit. I am baptized by both water and spirit just like Jesus. Yes, in Acts 15, St. Peter says that the Holy Spirit came upon the Gentiles. But St. Peter also said that the Gentiles should not be denied to be baptized with water as...
