I know that I haven't been frequenting this thread; but Blood Blot's name caught my attention... That would be John 5:24, correct? A parallel passage to that is John 10:27-30... Where it is said that Jesus' sheep will never perish, have eternal life, and that no one can snatch them out of...

If you have been baptized but don't have genuine faith in Jesus and are not born again of the Holy Spirit, then I'm sorry, you have not been saved.

G2786 - kēphas - Strong's Greek Lexicon (KJV)

It has everything to do with it (see 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)). Nope. Nope. What does your Catholic Bible say in that verse (John 1:42)? Because I don't think that the Catholic Bible has many differences from the kjv; otherwise it would not be sustainable as the word of God. Thank you...

Where does your motivation for fear of the Lord lie? Here is mine. Luk 12:5, But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Is the fear of the LORD only awe? or is it not also terror because of...

If anyone abides in Jesus, they do not sin (1 John 3:6).

Notice that that verse does not say, "If we say that we do no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." Look at it again. It is speaking of indwelling sin; not practical sins; otherwise 1 John 1:8 is in contradiction to 1 John 3:5-9. We all have indwelling sin; however...

However, if you believe but are not baptized; and if you are baptized but do not believe: both of these produce an "iffy' situation for you, in which you may or may not be saved.

Genesis 1 is the broadband version of what we see under a microscope in Genesis 2. They are speaking of the same creation of the same man from a different perspective.

It should be clear that as concerning condemnation, believers are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law (Romans 7:6). As concerning obedience, we are under the law "to Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:21)...the law of the LORD...

I can accept that. However, when Jesus is referring to "this rock" He is not referring to Peter, and neither is He referring to Himself; but He is referring to Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (see also John 20:31). Nope. It means a little one. Jhn...

Of course, the rock on which the Lord will build His church is the confession of Peter that Jesus is the Christ... And it is definitely true that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. The church being composed of all those who place their faith in Jesus and what He did for...

Nevertheless it is substantiated by the scriptures in the OP (Forgiveness is to those who keep the commandments of the Lord.). How then is it the opposite of the truth, since it is supported by holy scripture? Sometimes when I preach, I am not preaching to the unjustified who needs to be born...

Your SUPER power is Strength! ALL 8 QUESTIONS COMPLETED! You are made of STEEL! I don't know how you do it... But, you take every bad situation and make it into something great. You forgive people around you. You look pain in its eye and make solutions to crush it. You are bold, courageous...

Right...however believing + baptism definitely saves...while merely believing might save you... Of course, baptism without believing is merely getting wet and very likely has no salvational value... But Christ might even honour the confession of Him before men even if the person doing it has...

It is my prayer that the Lord would make His church holy so that this excuse that the world presents to the Lord for not wanting to be saved might be taken away (that "there are too many hypocrites in the church"). I find that the Holy Spirit is still moving in the Calvary Chapel Movement...as...

@APAK... How busy have you been? It's been almost a week since you told me you needed a little bit of time to formulate your answer. Waiting...

If someone believes and is baptized, they "shall be saved" (Mark 16:16)...that is absolute terminology. Hitler may have been baptized; but I sincerely doubt that he believed. Likewise, if someone merely believes, but is not baptized, they "should not perish" (John 3:16)...sounds a little...

A person may in fact be baptized in order to be saved. It goes like this (in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39): 1) Repent; 2) Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins; and, 3) You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost as the result of fulfilling these...

You are an exception to the rule, @Philip James; because you at least appear to have the word of God nigh you in your mouth and in your heart; and I have also noticed that you are a positive witness for your faith. However, I don't think I have ever walked into a Catholic Church and felt that...
