Abraham is the father of the Christian faith. He was saved as we are, through faith alone.

It was revealed to the apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 5:1 ESV Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 4:5 ESV And to the one who does not...

Abraham was saved long before this. Justified here has nothing to do with salvation.

1What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4Now to the one...

Yes, you keep saying that, but scripture doesn't. God justified Abraham by faith alone, apart from either circumcision or water baptism. Thus those who say saving faith includes water baptism change how faith is defined in Romans 4:1-12. But if saving faith is redefined to entail water...

Many suppose that there is reference here to the ordinance of baptism by water. But the connection requires us to understand it of the baptism of the Holy Spirit Matthew 3:11; so, it means, that by the agency of the Holy Spirit, they had all been suited, each to his appropriate place, to...

How ironic and sad, that's exactly what you keep saying.

122 pages and you are still insisting on trusting in H20 and words instead of trusting in the blood of Christ to save you. There's not magic water, there are no magic words that can regenerate the human soul. That can only be done by an act of God through the blood of Jesus shed for your sins...

Who taught you that only some parts of the Bible teach about salvation? That's bizarre. Acts Is history, not instructions, BTW. Romans, however tells us all: Who needs salvation. Why we need salvation. How God provides salvation. How we receive salvation. The results of salvation.

You really don't understand salvation. By grace through faith. Faith isn't me using my power to save myself. It's merely submitting to God and trusting him to do a work in me.

Oh please. Romans lays out how to be saved as well as any book. All scripture is useful for instruction to all who truly attempt to understand it. You think God won't convict a sinner through reading Romans?

Again, we are humans made in God's image. You want to reduce us to our genes? That's another discussion, and an atheist argument. Holy and unholy are equally loved by God. If God didn't love sinners, we'd never become his.

Of course we aren't equal to animals. When did animal rights get into the topic? I thought we were talking about all people being equal.

What does species have to do with anything? We aren't animals.

I didn't save myself in any way. If I did, I would have reason to boast.

Now you're just insulting. And something written to believers can't be Soteriology? What?

Nonsense. Limited atonement is just that. You can't have it both ways.

So..you didn't answer my question. I didn't ask about the word purgatory, I asked where teaching about it is found in Scripture.

Why do you constantly refer to a single verse and not respond the verses I post?
