You are reading water baptism into 1 Corinthians 6:11 when it does not even mention water baptism. In fact, Paul would disagree with your interpretation because he said he came not to baptize but to preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 1:17). Paul only baptized two people and one household (1...

Glad we agree. Politics should be avoided by us Christians. Christians need to set their mind on things above constantly.

@Truther Is baptism a work? Yes, or no? If it is a work then how can you be saved by God’s grace through faith without works in your Initial Salvation according to Ephesians 2:8-9?

I already been water baptized in April of 2013. But I was saved by God’s grace in 1992. I had a love, joy, and peace that I had never known before when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. Water baptism was not something that I was not even aware of until many years later. I don’t believe I...

You did it again. You skipped again in explaining (with Scripture) 1 Corinthians 1:17, and Acts of the Apostles 18:24-26, and Acts of the Apostles 19:1-6. So you are a Corinthians skipper, and an Acts skipper by not explaining these verses using the Bible. That’s like the pot calling the...

Also, the problem you fail to recognize is that if you are to literally take Peter’s words at face value with wooden literalism in Acts 2:38, then we would have a contradiction in the Bible between Acts 2:38, and Acts 10:34-45. Peter said in Acts 2:38 that they had to repent and be baptized to...

2 Timothy 2:4 says: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” Politics is something that is of the world system. 1 John 2:15-17 says: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If...

Well, if Acts 2, and Acts 10 would be the only verses in the Bible on baptism, then they would be dense, but that is not the only final Word of authority on the matter in Scripture on baptism. AFTER these points in Scripture (in Acts), we learn that the APOSTLE Paul said that he came not to...

I don’t believe it is nitpicking. It’s simply looking at the facts. The Holy Spirit came upon Cornelius without first being water baptized. This proves that the statement in Acts 2:38 is not meant to be a universal unending truth. Acts 10 proves this fact. Meaning, you don’t have to be...

I think that when Jesus says we are to love our enemies, I think he meant human enemies and not the devil. Yet, you appear to speak about politics at times.

The Lord our God is one God and yet He also exists as three distinct persons. So in the Trinity (as taught in the Bible), God is not 2 separate entities. The Lord our God is one God. Are two persons of the Godhead mentioned in this verse? Yes. Are two entities mentioned in this verse? No...

While Matthew 28, and Mark 16 are both referring to the great commission, and while they both sound similar, they are not exactly saying the same thing precisely. Matthew 28:18-20 says: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye...

#6. Paul also mentions that there is an “obedience to the faith" (or obedience of faith) at the beginning and end of the book of Romans (See: Romans 1:5, Romans 16:26). Romans 6 says, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether...

The Two Sides of the Coin of Faith: The 1st Side of the Coin of Faith: Faith starts off as a belief or trust in Jesus Christ as one's Savior (John 3:16). We are first saved by God's grace through faith without the deeds of the law or works ALONE (Ephesians 2:8-9). We are saved initially and...

Works of faith = Faith. Faith is what makes us to access the saving grace of God.

Uh, not true. While Christians today are not under the command of circumcision like Abraham and the Israelites in the OT were, we do learn in Genesis 17:14 that it was a requirement for them. So much so in fact that if they were not circumcised their souls would be cut off from his people, and...

Judas hated that he betrayed the Lord, but that did not lead him to a godly sorrow to seek forgiveness with the Lord. To truly hate sin is to put it away. But with no desire to change in being reformed means one is not really sorry. Again, it would be like a man who cheats on his wife, and...

@Ferris Bueller Why would John the Baptist warn us about how the axe is laid to the root of the tree and then he says that we must bring forth fruits worthy of repentance? This sound like to me that if we don’t take action to do good works that are truly worthy to God, then we will be chopped...

It cannot be faith alone that saves if works of faith is what is needed to show a true faith. For you don’t believe a person can live out their faith without works and be saved. Therefore, works of faith are necessary as a part of salvation. If works of faith are not a part of salvation, then...

So then a faith that lives itself out does not remain as faith alone. Faith alone that continues on in the life of the believer does not save. Therefore, one needs works of faith added into the equation to show their faith. No works means they have either chosen to fall away (reject Jesus), or...
