    Few are saved.

    I read 'an opinion' only, from your #65 response. I posted 4 scriptures from "God's word" sitting on my desk, to support my opinion. My opinon disagrees again. Please show me one verse supporting your post or refuting my posted 4 verses. And now, you respond with nothing but another opinion...

    Few are saved.

    Your understanding is based only upon OT verses. My opinion is that SPIRIT trumps SOUL in the NT. ROM 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    The Gr. word "pneuma" is in chapter 14 six times and is not once is it even capitalized. But it is talking about empowerment given to us, from The Holy Spirit. 1CO 14:2* For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    THAT'S correct. And I never said it did. The doctrines were plural in the context. Then I will post the same thing I did last time. If you still believe the way you did, we really just need to agree to disagree from now on. But I will ask you to remind me in the future if ever I try to talk...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    As do I, with the exception of your grammar above. Why are you capitalizing Holy Spirit when the scriptures only say "my spirit" and "spirit"? Even the cessationist (anti Charismatic/Pentecostal) translators of the bible) didn't capitalize. That is not The Holy Spirit in those verses...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    1CO 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. I don't believe either of these two verses refer to the Holy...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    But none of those '5 literal baptism OCCURENCES' are literal foundations for the "doctrines" of the faith. That is the whole context of verse 1,2. It's doctrinal teaching, not doctrinal doing. Let's apply your reasoning above, for that 1 verse, to the whole context below. If your reasoning...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    The difference between "GOD could" and "GOD does" is this; If God 'DOES NOT', then it is not happening that 'you COULD', come to the saving knowledge of salvation. It requires REPENTANCE (1st baptism) first, to receive FAITH to believe unto the first salvation. That salvation being, the...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    So if you agree with Heb 6:2 that "baptisms" is plural, can we agree that ONE of 'those' "baptisms" (Plural) includes the "ONE BAPTISM of Eph 4, (whatever that baptism is???) I believe that's the logical and scriptural basis for me to believe and come from. I can't even add every other...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    I'm so overwhelmed here on the forum with 2 other threads that I have to ask; Did you like it when it was first posted in October? Or was it after a few days ago, when you asked me if I had posted anything earlier so I told you again about post #20? After missing so many posts yesterday, I'm...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    I'm not talking, or believing , any of these verses suggest GOD COULD allow anyone born again salvation, These verses confirm he DECIDES, He DETERMINES who will get saved. IOW you aren't refuting the definition of the Greek word which is falsely translated as "wishes" or "desires". And you...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    I did not know 'that' about JB Phillips' translation. I actually don't even have a copy of his work, at all. How "little" is your little book? I don't remember ever hearing you say 'how much' or 'where to get' it either. I do feel I have had a pretty good track record of people receiving...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    Posting again with a slightly revised and shortened post #20. According to Heb 6:1,2 there are multiple “baptisms”vs 2 pertaining to our faith (and our “going on to perfection” vs 1). So what “one baptism” might scripture be speaking of, as we read Eph. 4:5? LUK 12:50 But I (Jesus) have...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    A lot of Kingdom "treasure" gets missed with that very attitude. I just googled how long the church has fought over this 'one baptism' doctrine.. Answer was 2,000 years. And you want me to settle that argument in what? One paragraph!!! PRO 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    I explained in post #30 about your comment #30 "Getting back to that "all flesh" verse you quote from Acts 2:14 above; It really didn't indicate that 'that baptism' was 'their choice' on the day of Pentecost. The whole body of Christ received that baptism in a sovereign move of God. And that...

    One Baptism. - What is it?

    I'm pretty sure what 'I think' and posted (#20), trumps your 'opinion' here. That's my opinion. You asked me to point you 'back' to any opinion I had on this thread. Did you read post #20?

    Here are my notes for verse 21; Paul employs the Greek word heteroglossis (Gr 2084) to refer to how the invading Assyrians were using "other tongues" to give orders to the confused Jews. Here are my notes for verse 22; Hillsage; Don't worry about turning "unbelievers" OFF as fundy's say...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Here's my 'what if' shot at answering; That verse is in Exodus 20. Do you know that in the Hebrew there are words which are always spelled in the plural? Even if they are not 'interpreted' that way into scripture. The three primary Hebrew words that are always plural in form (plurale tantum)...

    I pray dear Lady in the Lord (as well as an elderly sister to this elderly brother. hlo; that I may share with you what God revealed to me, for I did not hear it from a THEOLOGIAN at all. But maybe it is in your book which I have not read. That too would be so....GOD!!! First off, your...
