Right away? Are you saying that every follower of Christ is healed "at some point" upon seeking healing? I do not want to put words in your mouth but that sounds like what you're saying.

Why are so many intent on spiritualizing every verse they can? Are these two groups going to lay in the street dead for all to see? People need to understand that they are not righteous by seeking a spiritualized message in the verses.

You can look for yourself but Paul mentions Trophimus being left sick. Do you think Paul didn't pray for him to be healed? God heals whom he desires. He has a plan for each of us. If God desired to heal all followers none would ever die of cancer or car accidents and I could list many other...

This can get very technical. In the Old Testament, it was a Theocracy so tithing was much like paying your taxes today. Your Government and religious leadership were one and same. Giving to the Church and charity should be willfully and not an ordinance.

Sorry, Curtis maybe I'm having a senior moment but is he saying that they are not actually two people but are symbolic of groups of people?

Yes, Romans 10:9-13 is very clear.

I'm not following you about the 2 witnesses being all of God's elects. They are killed and lay in the street for 3 days. I'm not following you at all.

Repentance means changing directions in your belief and behaviors, to follow the Holy Spirit given to you upon being born again. If anything causes you to stumble, if the Holy Spirit convicts you to live in a cave and avoid society do so. The scriptures clearly give us a long list of sins, many...

I'm not sure why you seem to think I do not believe the things you mention are not being obedient to God and not important. As a born-again Christian, you obviously desire to do these things you keep thinking I do not subscribe to. I just believe that you are not saved by those actions, works...

I'm not sure what you're reading but I agree with all the points you make above. Paul clearly tells us those things that will keep us from our inheritance. My whole point is that you cannot check a box and think you're done in your walk in the Spirit. A born-again Christian is set apart and is...

As mentioned we disagree concerning how one finds salvation. How many good deeds? How much charity does it take to earn your salvation? The difference is that all the things you mentioned are fruits of having the Spirit and not how you obtain the Spirit.

TEXBOW said: ↑ the Apostles dragged their feet and reasoned that salvation required baptism by water, Disconnected; Find that scripture. There was never a time that water baptism was not required....check the early Christian writers and the history of Christianity...It is not until modern times...

TEXBOW said: ↑ Some wish to bundle salvation with works and tie it up in a bow calling it born again. I separate all works (any physical effort of man) from salvation. Christ and the Apostles are the ones that tied that bow. Again a disconnected approach to salvation....I have already addressed...

TEXBOW said: ↑ As discussed before I'M NOT A CHECK THE BOX TYPE OF BELIEVER. I put my belief in salvation upon the teachings of Paul Disconnected; Christ and the Apostles were all check the box teachers of the Gospel. Paul is great but he cannot provide salvation so what Christ said has...

I agree that Jesus was God incarnate. I think the difficulty is understanding the relinquishment, how much, and if that changed over time.

Yes, I agree that it is by design that we do not have these things recorded in the scripture. I think mostly because they do not matter. For me, it's still interesting to try and understand. Many many things like that in the scriptures.

I'm not sure if we are on the same page or not. First, I'm not a gifted writer so things can be lost in my efforts. As for my own view regarding salvation, I believe in Acts as a transition book from the law to by faith alone for salvation. I do think from Genisis to the rapture it's always been...

We have had this discussion before my friend. Romans 10:9-13 is very clear. My lack of defining the all-encompassing definition of faith is not implying that a check the box belief and your good to go brings salvation it was just not the point of my response. Volumes could be written on what...

In your future conversation, I hope to eavesdrop. To me, the question has been when did Jesus exercise his deity while on earth. Could he perform miracles at 12 or did the Father spoon-feed his deity to him for a purpose? Did the Son of God have certain attributes as an infant different than...

It's a difficult job to define sin that is in the heart of man. We have obvious sins that are clear in the scriptures. Common sense tells us that no person or church leadership can rebuke a person's sin if they do not know of it. If a church member is coveting another church member's new car...
