Dear Jim: Asking you a question to figure out what you believe is not the same thing as asking questions that are loaded and or so as to accuse somebody of something that is not true. It would be like Rick asking Bob: “Hey, Bob. So how long have you been beating your wife?” Yet, Rick does not...

Jesus. For Jesus says, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew...

This is not what I asked you. I am asking you to show forth what you believe with Scripture. I am not saying water baptism is necessary for Initial Salvation. I am not even saying it is for salvation exactly, but I do believe it is a requirement because that is what Scripture teaches...

The question was asked to show a fallacy that other Christians have. There are Christian groups out there that actually believe water baptism is no longer a requirement.

Any Christian who labels themselves as conservative and turns a bible story into fictional story or a fable is actually a liberal who falsely trying to use the word conservative to describe themselves. Do you believe in Darwinian Evolutionism? Do you believe the flood was local? Do you...

Anyone who labels themselves as a Christian liberal and defends that position either does not understand what Christian Liberalism is, or they are in acceptance of those false doctrines (Of which condemns them).

Please show me where your line of thinking is so. In other words, please show me where baptism is not a requirement by God and where it has clearly ended for us as a part of our faith. Side Note: Before you said it was optional (Which is contradictory to this statement). Besides, do you...

While water baptism is not done for initial salvation, it is a requirement as a part of living out our faith. There is no verse or passage in the New Testament saying that we are not to water baptize new believers in Jesus Christ. This was a part of the great commission that Jesus gave to us...

There are different levels of Christian liberalism. Some who are liberal will not even admit that they are liberal. Here is an article by Gotquestions, which gives you a breakdown of what a liberal looks like: https://www.gotquestions.org/liberal-Christian-theology.html While some Christian...

To all those Christians who are true bible believers (and not liberals): Well, in addition to our requirement to be water baptized, the Bible does also talk about being Spirit baptized. You can learn more about that here: https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/the-doctrine-of-baptisms.51285/

Most mid-Acts dispensationalists deny the need for water baptism today. The Grace Movement teaches that water baptism was a Jewish rite and that Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19 is not for the church. They exclude water baptism on the basis that the only baptism needed today is the baptism of the...

Jesus says, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” (Matthew 5:44). “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to...

You’re not getting it. For us believers today: Romans 10:17 is about hearing the words of the Bible. Back in the early church it would have been a combination of both the written Word (Scripture), and the spoken Word of God (like from the apostles). But seeing there are no more apostles...

I believe God speaks to us through His Word. I believe it is possible God can even use life situations, but again… this would involve the glorification of His Word in some way. No Word of God involved and there is a good chance it may not be of God. I say this because of the many cults that...

People today need to realize that we are not apostles. So to claim we can have the same exact experiences as the apostles is a big pill to swallow. Granted, I am not saying there is not a small chance God could talking to us outside of the Bible, but there is the danger that one could be the...

This is from a false Modern Translation. Actually, the full revelation of the gospel that saves was revealed to us by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. It just so happens that in context that faith comes by the hearing of the gospel, but the gospel is in the form of words and not some...

Amos 4:13 does not say that God speaks to us through our thoughts. They are misquoting that verse to justify something that is not there. Matthew 1:19-21 is not a case for God speaking to us through our thoughts, either. God can know our thoughts but that is not the same thing as God speaking...

If you are interested, a poster named “Swordsman1” on another Christian forum made some really great points on this topic here, here, and here.

God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The idea that they have to be born again by hearing the words of the Bible, and or that they have to draw close to God through studying the God’s Word is foolishness to them. Yet, this is what the Bible teaches and they of...

We are living in the last days and the belief that one’s experiences, or that God is talking to them is on the rise. It’s looney bin central with people either rolling on the ground and or screaming or claiming they seen Jesus in a vision, etcetera. See, any person can claim God is talking...
