    The One Baptism

    Religion, not truth.

    The One Baptism

    If you are going to spam me with all that religious jargon, I'm not going to explain. If you don't know that you were already born of water in natural birth, and what must come next is to be born of the spirit of God ("water and spirit"), but must add to that a religious practice--that's just...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Salvation is indeed instantaneous, but you (and the assembly/church) have missed what was presented by Christ between His resurrection and His ascension, which is what follows all who have been crucified with Christ until they are no more in the world. The forty days in between is a biblically...

    The One Baptism

    Yes, if you put all the big words pertaining to salvation together they can all be categorized under faith or belief, just as Christ likewise did with all the law in only two commandments.

    Can being overly critical be sinful?

    Leave my wife out of it!! All kidding aside, indeed to hold a standard, to reckon according to the plumbline of God, to serve by teaching--we walk a fine line. Looking back at the prophets of old, other than Jesus' more true teaching according to grace, I should think there are times when...

    The One Baptism

    Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16 assumes the definition of baptism given in scripture is known by the disciples who first heard it according to the gospels to whom Jesus was speaking, that of John the Baptists'...

    The One Baptism

    21 which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 3:21 That is only Peter teaching about the goodness of following the...

    The One Baptism

    John the Baptist defined baptism, then Jesus explained it, and Paul confirmed it: John said that he baptized with water but Jesus would baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Jesus explained the process as being born of both water and the Spirit. Paul elaborated to say, "first the...

    Life in the Millennium.

    I know this is what many imagine, but you have explained allegory with allegory. Please understand that even we are only an image in part of all that is true in the creation and the word. For this same reason Jesus came preaching--not what the kingdom heaven is, but saying rather, "The kingdom...

    The One Baptism

    Which of course was done for a reason--but it was not required for salvation or entering the kingdom of heaven. Jesus gave the requirements...and it is not how you describe it or believe. If you believe that you know the requirements given by Jesus, please quote them.

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    I am not sure why you are referring to that passage--but no, that is not what I am telling you. What I have been doing with this tread is allowing anyone who is willing to do their own math, to discover that Jesus' return is not according to those "evil servants" who say "My master is delaying...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    No, but you are rather wasting our time by rambling, as did the scribes and Pharisees with their long prayers for pretense. But, yes, I have read the word of God cover to cover more times than I can count. Yet it is not that God rambles on or those sent, but it is rather life that rambles on...

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    None of which makes void what I also have quoted of the scriptures. The point is not that it is one or the other, but rather that each must be rightly divided, and yet reconciled one to the other. In which case, there was no surprise to the Word become flesh--nor could there be, for it is His...

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    But you have not acknowledged when they would actually have gone through all the cities of Israel (which He said would be the time of His come [again]). In other words, those to whom Jesus spoke would have and did go through all the cities of Israel during their own lifetimes...and Jesus was...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Okay, you are going on and on, but have not (unless I skipped over it because you were rambling) addressed or acknowledge Jesus' stated reason for these past 2,000 years, which was, "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there...

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    And how does Jesus telling the apostles He appointed on earth about when He would come mark the time of when He would come again? When would what He said have meant?

    "All things are lawful..."

    Yes, amen...just so we do not forget to seek Him "first." ;)

    Poll: HISTORY - Did the Apostles ever make it out...?

    To which I would say is no error, but rather a small enactment that the scriptures might be fulfilled of what is ultimately much greater in scope. That is, that all things being "in Christ", He is the apex as if a Light shining through a prism cast into every generation, that makes "today the...

    Why "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!?"

    I understand you and I will answer. I am humbled more than enough to deny anything of or for myself, but at the same time I must be honest that I have heard from God, was caught up in the spirit, and sent by Him to a task I know I have no ability of myself to fulfill. So, yes, I have been in...

    Almighty God and Planet Earth

    I have no need to refer to your website, as you make it perfectly clear here, even now referring to the future as the time of all that was foretold "that must shortly take place." The question then becomes, when the falling away and great apostacy have run their course--which has now come, who...
