All examples of falling from grace, abandoning their faith and NOT once saved always saved.

We would all be in big trouble. I trust you understand that I've not said that a prayer language is the only method of prayer. You can pray in your language , your mind without speaking a word and a prayer language.

JohnPaul, 99% of the populations first thought would have been Catholic even without using the word Priest. Child molestation in the Church is attached to the Catholic Church forever I'm afraid. We've let a few thousand bad apples spoil the whole denomination :).... Ok, bad joke. I would think...

Bruce, I trust you understand that my title is strictly rhetorical. To be honest more like "click bait".

It would be interesting to analyze the variances in the 1st century churches. Not the faults, rebukes or praises listed in the book of Revelation but the "statement of beliefs" each Church had (assuming) . I have always assumed they would have had very little differences and we most likely could...

Coming of the Holy Spirit Acts 2 2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided...

Wait until he cast possibly billions into the lake of fire.

I agree. I for lack of a better term think that evidence can be a trojan horse means of sharing the Gospel. Many intellectuals have put up a barrier and evidence can transition to faith. I think we would be surprised at how many are not aware of the evidence. Thank you for your effort on this.

True. I also think our understanding of death or I should say lack of understanding corrupts our understanding. Job 34:12 “Surely, God will not act wickedly, And the Almighty will not pervert justice

Curtis, I agree with the vast majority of what you're saying But the tongues spoken on the day of Pentecost were known languages, not a prayer language. It clearly tells us that those gathered were marveled at those speaking in their native tongue. In short, it didn't take another Saint to...

We all know that after Noah's flood, all living things on the earth were destroyed including the Nephilim from Genesis 6:4. It is presumed that one of the reasons God destroyed the earth was because of this Nephilim, their offspring and also the wickedness of that generation except for eight...

Robert I've read some about Tyndale. A courageous man. Our history is full of those who were persecuted for their faith. We have it easy for now but the day is coming when being a faithful servant of Christ will not be a walk in the park.

Maybe the most serious mistake a new believer can make is NOT STAYING IN THE WORD. I made this mistake. On occasion, I did study the Bible but for the most part, I checked the box and put my Bible on a shelf. The absence of the word invites apostasy, weakens your faith, and allows cracks for...

Rhetorical of course. Everyone feels "their" denomination is the most accurate and most aligned with the scriptures. We know of course that everyone cannot be correct in this assumption. Another day another schism it seems. These almost countless schisms have weakened the Body of Christ. Now...

Surly you understand that Paul is referring to Spiritual Baptism in 1 Corinthians 12. Not all baptism is of water. Baptism of the Holy Spirit eliminated water baptism. Cornelius was fully saved, fully filled with the Holy Spirit before he got wet.

In addition to Acts 2:38, there are three other verses where the Greek word eis is used in conjunction with the word “baptize” or “baptism.” The first of these is Matthew 3:11, “baptize you with water for repentance.” Clearly the Greek word eis cannot mean “in order to get” in this passage. They...

Although it is a new belief it has no main stream support from any denomination that has any history at all. It is a belief, not a denomination. I think the explanation below concerning Acts 2:38 is important to understand. This was posted on the "got answers" website. I think many times we...

Water baptism as an ordnance. A public confession of ones faith but not a requirement for salvation. The Apostles Creed, St Irenaeus, St. Augustine and of course Martin Luther's views are not scripture. I do not expect to change your view. I know many who are deeply seated in their views that...

If you do not study the scriptures beyond Acts 2 you're never going to understand salvation by faith alone. You like to point to scripture prior to the cross, a period of time when the Gospel was preached to the Jews. Jesus's earthly ministry was for the lost sheep of Israel. Not until the...
