    "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

    Greetings again Jack, Please refer to my three Posts, #2,4,119. In addition I consider that Luke specifically gives an example of the acceptable method and the true teaching on this subject: Acts 8:5-6,12 (KJV): 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6...

    "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

    Greetings again Jack, I have participated in this thread with Posts 2,4,119. As such I receive alerts. I have now spent 25 minutes having a quick browse. I had to forsake my computer and go to my old tablet as the advertisements lock up my computer. You have posted with Posts...

    "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

    Greetings again Jack, Possibly, but this shows that you do not have a simple, clear statement. Kind regards Trevor

    "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

    Greetings Jack, I am confused as to why you are insisting on this. What exactly are you trying to distinguish here? There is very much involved in a true baptism and the exact words used may have a number of different expressions. Kind regards Trevor

    "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

    Greetings gpresdo, The thief on the cross was crucified with Christ in true faith and confession and experience. What we do symbolically he did in actual fact. He demonstrated more faith than most of the Apostles and his contemporaries believing in the resurrection of Jesus as the Messiah, and...

    Hebrews 9:27

    Greetings Davy, I suggest that the believers who live before and at the time of the return of Jesus will face only ONE Judgement Seat, and to them this is not "a type of judgement" but it IS The Judgement Seat as per 2 Timothy 4:1,6-8 and the following: 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV): For we must...

    Hebrews 9:27

    Greetings ProDeo, That could be true if man has an immortal soul which goes to heaven or hell at death, but I believe that man returns to the dust Genesis 3:19 and only some people await the resurrection at the return of Jesus. When Jesus appears he will raise only some people who are...

    Why do some churches require a process to be baptized?

    Greetings again NotTheRock, Perhaps our method has changed over the years. When my future wife and a few years later I was baptised we were questioned on a reasonable range of our standard beliefs, but in a simple way. And this was in front of members, family and often Sunday School scholars...

    Why do some churches require a process to be baptized?

    Greetings again NotTheRock, Surely a basic understanding of the scriptures centred in all things relating to our Lord Jesus Christ is necessary and very biblical Yes, but our fellowship does have a "Statement of Faith", which is a summary of all aspects of the Gospel of Christ and we require...

    Why do some churches require a process to be baptized?

    Greetings NotTheRock, Our fellowship requires each candidate to espouse and confess a reasonable understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Name of Jesus and be motivated to identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus by baptism in water. With some people this requires significant...

    Put Christ where he belongs

    Greetings again Keiw, I was quoting from a JW Book which indicates that the translation "Jehovah".is erroneous. What is your estimation of JW literature? Yes, but the translation of YHWH as "Jehovah" is erroneous and this erroneous version is used almost exclusively by JWs and is used in the...

    Prophecy From Daniel Seen In History And The Book Of Revelation

    Greetings CareGiver, I understand the 2300 days represents 2300 years, the period of time that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles, from BC 334-333 when Alexander overthrew the Persians to AD 1967 when the Jews regained possession of Jerusalem. Kind regards Trevor

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    Greetings again Writer, True believers come to a knowledge of the Gospel of Christ by many different circumstances. We educate our children by means of 15 years of Sunday School. Others listen to a few of our lectures. Others hear the Gospel by personal contact. I do not consider any of this is...

    Put Christ where he belongs

    Greetings Keiw, But the JW's have substituted an erroneous version of the YHWH Name in their NWT. This is confirmed in the article “Jehovah” pages 882-895 in the JW Book Aid to Bible Understanding. The following are a few excerpts that I found to be relevant to this subject: Page 882...

    Daniel Interprets The Dream, A "Peek" into Eternity

    Greetings again CTK, I cannot accept most aspects of your unusual exposition. Kind regards Trevor

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    Greetings again Writer, I suggest that it is important to gradually evaluate the whole overall picture and end up with and espouse the true Gospel of Christ despite the confusion of many wrong concepts. Kind regards Trevor

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    Greetings again Writer, It is commendable that you profess Jesus, but what you have stated seems to indicate that what Luke records and summarises concerning the preaching of the Gospel of Christ is incompatible with your position and you dismiss this. Acts 8:5-6,12: 5 Then Philip went down to...

    How does the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked on the last day work with Premillennialism?

    Greetings Scott Downey, Revelation 5:9–10 (KJV): 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto...
