I believe it is important that our faith as Christians is faith in Jesus Christ!! So, what does having faith in Jesus Christ actually mean?? A couple of the names of the Lord we read about is "Word of God" and "I AM" So, the Christ, our savior (Jesus), is the "Word of God" (the One who speaks...

The things of God don't make sense to those who don't know Him. BTW - I am for baptism, but the water Baptism that the Lord had John the Baptism do was symbolic and it was not the dunking people in water that makes a difference - it was the repenting of their ways and turning to the Lord and...

He speaks in parables and saying, which mean you need to talk to Him to have understanding!!! Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. I pointed out that hearing the sound of the wind means hearing the Holy Spirit, but someone (was it you) who...

No Jesus Christ is who makes us a new creation, because He is the Creator!! Have you not read the parable of the sower?? The seeds are a word from the Sower - Him!! If the seek, which is a word from Him, takes root in you then you grow. That is why it is written that faith comes from hearing...

One of the tendencies the Pharisees had was to ask Jesus questions opening to entrap Him with His answer. He had to spend some time explaining things to them - things like Jn 8:43 “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. Now you might think that Jesus...

Jesus Christ is the Truth! His sheep hear His voice! And if you are thinking about the ground instead of heaven you probably are not seeking Him because God is spirit and Jesus explained that His Kingdom is not of this world/realm!

Here are two quotes - the above from me and the below is a response: Now you will notice that both have scriptures but one claims the other to be "unscriptural!" Which of course makes no sense. The Lord always makes sense, so why the non-sense or 'no sense'? The problem comes from us not...

Wow - Talk about taking things out of context!! Baptism is a symbolic act. It is a sign you want to be more dedicated to Jesus Christ - that you want to be submerged in His Holy Spirit - that you want to be cleaned up by Him. As for His "PURE GRACE" - God has His grace for us but it comes when...

Jesus said that He was the mana (bread) that comes down from heaven. He said we must drink of His blood and eat of His flesh! And we know that He speaks to us in parables and sayings. So what does the eating and drinking to do justice and righteousness actually mean. What does living one's like...

We (everyone at times) want to "Experience" God (Him) The thing is - He is always with us!! The problem then is whether we believe in Him or not? It is not easy to believe in Him, because we can't see Him with our physical eyes or hear Him with our physical ears - but He is there! It takes...

People oppose the Holy Spirit - not some vague concept like 'anarchy'! If we are blaming our opposition to listening to the Lord via His Holy Spirit then we are not receiving what the Lord has for us. - ?That has nothing to do with baptism and everything with us not wanting to hear from Him...

Where is understanding???? Enoch walked with God and was taken by God. Noah listened to the Lord and did what the Lord asked; building the ark by the instructions given to him and was saved from the coming disaster. Abram listened to the Lord and went to another land, by faith which enabled...

Lots of verse but no connection to what you proclaim!! You wrote: There is only one covenant with the initiation is baptism to put on Christ receive the Grace Holy Spirit to put on Christ and be born again! Then a verse " Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash...

There are two quotes above and they are inconsistent with each other!! They also show a lack of relationship with the King of kings. For example: Abraham clearly had a relationship with the Lord yet the person saying there is no relationship without baptism tries to tells us that the covenant...

When we are talking about the Lord Jesus Christ, we are talking about a relationship with Him!!! Abraham had a relationship with the Lord. The covenant you are so into, comes after the relationship!! Abram heard from the Lord and followed Him around long before the covenant was made personally...

"no relationship without baptism" ??? How many relationships do you have??? And how many of those relationships came about because you got baptized in that person's name? Answer is almost certainly zero!!! The fact is that we have lots of relationships in our life with people and none come...

This is a Christian Forum, and so comments should make sense even according to the Bible. As for the covenant - a baptism is not required, but it comes from hearing the Lord and believing in Him - as shown in the Bible. Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a...

There is a massive post with lots of verses quoted attached to the above quote - as if the quoting of a verse (any verse) makes a person's own understanding of God correct. Are they? I went over the above quoted verse before and obviously was ignored, because there were not comments about it...

Eph 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Notice the verse above - It reads "having also believed"!! So there is a belief that comes first!! In fact go a bit...

Actually it reads: Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were) Of course it is talking about water baptism and Jesus is still baptizing - although not...
