    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    He’s the one that said he could so I was asking him to follow through on it. You don’t make a claim like that and leave a man hanging.

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Clarify. Provide an example of what? All I got is something about rampant stupidity from the apostles.

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    You seem to be arguing for praying for your salvation. So, show me where anybody was ever told to or who might be the example of an alien sinner praying for their salvation. The “sinners prayer” as it might be called. Did they just “accept Christ as their personal savior”? Is that what they...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    You would have to admit that, you personally, do not have the spirit in the way it was promised to the apostles. They would receive power, they would have miraculous memory, they would be guided into all truth. But, is this passage also for us today? Yes, in principle. When you read and...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    I said that earlier. The HS was given for effect to persuade the Jews. So the passage I quoted to you was in error? Read acts 11:13,14

    Once again. You post scripture and expect me to know what application you are trying to make. I don’t. I don’t know why you went from rom 12 to 1 Cor 1. I don’t see the connection. You are the one telling me that I don’t know anything and it’s up to you to educate me which means you do know...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    The angel told Cornelius to call for Peter and that he would give him WORDS BY WHICH HE WOULD BE SAVED. So was he saved? The angel said he still needed to be saved. What was going to do it? The HS? No, it was going to be words. Preaching. Which is in perfect harmony with Paul in Rom...

    “Just as he do with common sense”? God don’t give everyone common sense as evidenced by this board right here. What does Mt 5:45 have to do with common sense? Here’s the problem. You make a statement like.... “God made us all, and it is his will that all be saved, see 1 Timothy 2:4.” You then...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Once again. Don’t even know what that means. “They was already in the spirit”? What does that even mean? Peter says we are born by the word. They hadn’t heard the word preached so how could they be “born” of the spirit?

    I still once again don’t understand what you are saying. Earlier you think you taught me truth about Jesus when I still dont even understand what you were trying to teach. Are you saying God “gives” people faith without the word? Without any knowledge.

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    This has never happened to you. This was a baptism in the HS for effect just like the apostles on acts 2. When the Jews saw the HS fall on them they said,...who can forbid water. They realized by this miraculous event that God accepts the gentiles as well so they could continue and baptize...

    Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. This is how God gives us faith. Through the word. Are you saying people could believe or have faith in the death burial and resurrection long before it even happened?

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Ok let’s get balance. You say we receive the Spirit as promised in acts 2:38. In acts 8 we see this.. Acts 8:15-16 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord...

    Romans 14 is talking about our conscience. If you want to extend that we can. Rom says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God which means if God didn’t reveal it then you can’t practice it or preach it. If you are in a denomination you need to get out because God never said...

    Yes there is right or wrong.

    Confession isn’t. Read Jn 12. 42. The chief rulers believed but would not confess. So true faith leads to water baptism? And without it you don’t have faith since confession and baptism are aspects of faith. I can actually agree with that. A person is not saved by faith unless every aspect...

    Apostles, teachers and other offices

    We are saved by blood Ro 5:9 We are saved by hope. Ro 8:24 We are saved by grace. Eph 2:5 We are saved by confession with the mouth Ro 10:10 We are saved by the word. Ja 1:21 We are to call in order to be saved. Ro 10:13 Baptism saves us 1 pet 3:21. But know...CoreIssue says we are saved by...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    How do you get off saying I didn’t address ANY of the verses you gave. Technically you gave no verses. You paraphrased a couple. I directly dealt with acts 2:38. Did you not want to comment on that verse.

    This is so rich. Your other thread talks about how nobody will listen to what the Bible plainly says. I just presented 6 or more things we are saved by but you don’t care. You just stick to faith alone. Oh well some people won’t even listen to the sound of their own voice. Let’s add another...

    You are still calling me a Calvinist? Did you not read my post covering the TULIP. I denied every letter.
