IMO, it is a horrible shame that any BAC has to be convinced that hell exists. We must believe everything that is plainly stated in Scripture. If one does not have this mindset, one is like a boat without a rudder.

That's a cute way of saying that water baptism is not required to be born-again. (But, it is most highly recommended afterwards.) My experience also!

You don't mean to say that the baptism is required to be a new creation, do you? .

That's nice ... you're calling some NT verses rubbish! Nice going and congratulations! BTW, can you read ... or can you just write?

I would suggest that many BACs have been led drastically astray by their pastors re: eternal security and God knows what else! Hear an excerpt from the Lord speaking to one of His prophets/watchmen fairly recently: "shepherds leading multitudes to hell". That's why I'm here ... to warn you!

Yes, but the churches today are full of them. What do you think I'm doin' here anyway?

Paul is referring to those Jewish believers who were insisting that some (all?) of the Jewish stuff was also to be adhered to! So, he was referring to old their fleshly laws, which were now obsolete.

Oh, sorry ... Born-Again Christian

It's always about me, me, me! Is the BAC who is involved in habitual unrepentant sinning ... a partaker of Christ? Do all BACs have enough fear of God in them to keep them from departing from Him? I don't have the time to show what your security verses really mean. But, I'll do one for you ...

Sorry, but I prefer ... Those who are obedient to Jesus' commandments are proving that they love Him. Jesus says this 4 times in John 14 ... How come you missed it? LoL

"But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5, NKJV) We haven't understood exactly what these 2 critical words above mean! "believes" in John 3:16 is in the present continuing tense in the Greek. It must be...

To warn those whose hearts are not satisfactory?

My current favorite, the NLT, has ... "The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world." IMO, this is about Jesus bringing the light of spiritual Truth to everyone in the world. I.E. He and His words are the light of the world, regardless of anyone accepting...

Hi Chris, I do appreciate your take on this! However, I don't see your verses as pertaining to a person believing unto salvation. I see them as referring to further insight into spiritual Truths. Many people have said that Jesus' words generally were spoken to everyone. For sure, John 14 through...

We’re talking about obedience to Jesus’ teachings and commands! Continuing obedience is what “being faithful” means! “… only we who believe can enter His rest … but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God.” (Hebrews 4:3, 7) Disobedience proves Unbelief...

That's what the word says. Actually, we get everything @ the moment of receiving the Holy Spirit within! But, these blessings must be maintained. That's our responsibility ... to co-operate with the precious Holy Spirit ... while He works on us to become more like Jesus. It says BACs are chosen...

Scripture teaches that one’s righteous standing before God can be lost. Believers must be sanctified unto holiness progressively – for salvation is a process! “… let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil … Whoever...

It doesn't matter about substance (hypostasis) ... because it's all about ... Jesus representing Father God on earth (if you've seen Me, you've seen Him) until He left and "another" took His place, who was the precious Holy Spirit. "another" (Gr: allos) means "another of the same kind". Just...

But, don't you believe that He must give us "a seed of faith" so that we would be able to believe? There are many NT verses which teach us: - man has an inherited sin nature - man is a captive prisoner of Satan - man's mind has been blinded by Satan - man sees the gospel as foolishness etc...

There are dozens of verses which teach Jesus is God, equal to the Father. There are many fewer verses which teach the Holy Spirit is God. Meanwhile back at the ranch, I have about 20 NT verses ... each of which mentions all 3 Persons (or Manifestations) of the Holy Trinity! Would you care to see...
