    So they were not freed AFTER obedience to that form of doctrine? That’s not what the text says. The text says....you were slaves, BUT you obeyed. It’s only AFTER this statement that he mentions they were freed from sin. Earlier in the chapter he had already stated that they had been buried...

    Where did I EVER say the “indwelling of the HS” was ONLY for the Apostles? Show me the quote. If not then admit you are building a straw man to argue against. I’ll be looking for my quote about the indwelling.

    Please show me (anybody show me) a reputable translation that has left Mk 16:16 out. There are two statements in Mk 16:16. One tells us how to be saved and the other tells us how to be damned. If you want salvation you will believe and be baptized. If you don’t believe you will be damned. It...

    I don’t need to know you and your everyday activities. The highlighted part above is all I need to know about you to pass judgement. There is plenty of fruit there to go by. I can tell you are of a denominational background. Maybe even some community church like “acts29” if you go at all...

    Good to see you didn’t read my post. I don’t judge personally. I only judge what you say and what you do to scripture. And there is plenty of fruit there.

    Here’s the...”you can’t judge me speech”. I believe you have passed plenty of judgement on me too. But I disagree! There is plenty of information and “fruit” to go by. For example. Look what you did with Rom 6:17,18. You specifically said that this passage teaches.....”we get set free first...

    If you went by scripture then you would notice that those in the scripture that had the Spirit could demonstrate something. They could prove that the Spirit was working through them. You, nor anyone like you can do that. You just make a claim and we are supposed to accept it. Not me. I...

    2 Peter 1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. He states...”the scripture”. He is speaking of divinely revealed knowledge. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy...

    Let’s continue with our review of how corrupt people can be with the word of God. Does the passage with the Eunuch EVER say that “the HS regenerated him”? No! Does this passage EVER say the HS fell on him? No! The truth of this passage above is that the HS actually came to the preacher...

    I want to use this to highlight how corrupt people are with the word of God. Let’s first post the entire passage... Acts 16:14-15 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the...

    This IS NOT what 2 pet 1 is teaching. All this is telling us is that the men who wrote these books didn’t write from their own understanding and interpretation. They got their information “divinely” through the HS. It didn’t come from their mind but from the mind of God through the direction...

    just because you say so doesn’t make it so. You know this don’t you!

    I’m just saying...the people who actually had the HS could prove it. You nor anyone like you who claims this can prove anything. You just go by feel. What if that feel comes from the devil. What if the Spirit you believe you have came from Satan? In acts 23 Paul said he had lived in all good...

    The lord said...”receive the HS” but the apostles didn’t receive the HS until many days later on Pentecost. So that was obviously an action to prepare the disciples for what was to come. We know this because in acts 1, when the lord ascended they had not received the HS at that point, they had...

    I don’t disagree. And since everybody is not saved by the blood, there is a point at which the blood saves. So now, show me at what point the blood actually washes a persons sins away? Wouldn’t it be at the same point, the Bible says a person has their sins removed? If not,why not? Like...

    Of course we know about their baptism. They didn’t pray for salvation. They were baptized with Johns baptism for remission of sins. That’s what Christ taught and that’s what they taught as well. Do you really think Christ would have chosen 12 men who refused to be obedient to his teaching...

    No, the Bible is correct, not me, not you. And it’s the Bible that says.... He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. You say the opposite Its the Bible that told believers.... to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. You say the opposite It’s the Bible that says.... We...

    I didn’t think I had to post vs 20 because I assumed you people already knew what the context was. So I’ll post the whole passage since I know you won’t. 1 Peter 3:20-21 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a...

    shocker! I dont know and will never know but I wonder how it feels to make a statement like this and then I post a passage from the Bible that states just the opposite....1 Pet 3:21 baptism doth also now save us. (speaking of water) Its just like faith alone...I can present a divinely inspired...

    No I did not say that I could not accept something unless it was physically proven even though I believe their is physical proof for much of what I believe including the resurrection. I was calling all those people out who claim they are elect and they have the HS to prove it. They can’t...
