    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Why are you so surprised? Didn't you read the accompanied Scripture referral? No! After God destroys this universe, He is going to create a New Heaven and a New Earth where the believers will float to and froe as you've said, between heaven and earth (Revelation 21:1-2). Just curious...

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    You are in contradiction. The Kingdom of Heaven IS in heaven and NEVER will it be in this sin-cursed earth! Did you not read that God will destroy this universe at the end? 2 Peter 3:10 To God Be The Glory

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Did I touch a nerve??? Why will a Christian Site disallow discussing the deity of Jesus if Jesus is the main central figure in the Bible? Even the owners of this site labeled their forums "Christian (of Christ) Forums" Does it not suggest to you that these forums follow the teachings of Jesus...

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Ephesians 1:1-6 reads: 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus...

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Yes, Jesus did create everything, but not everyone is a child of God especially those who are unsaved. The Old Testament saints are too "Sons of God." They were elected in eternity past, before the foundation of the world, like any other saved person. To God Be The Glory

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Common sense, alright. Only those who are born again will do Father's will and angels are ministering spirits who obeys Father's will. Big difference. you see. You may be able to explain away false doctrines and one of them is the disbelief of the deity of Jesus. YOU are greatly mistaken...

    Friend of God and a Son of God, what's the difference?

    Indeed, Abraham is a friend of God as per James 2:23, but where do you find that of angels? Aren't angels ministering servants? Hebrews 1:14 reads: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Teaching your church's false doctrines again?

    What is Faith?

    "By Grace are you saved through Faith! Whose faith, man's? NEVER, it is the faith of Christ, lest any man should boast. FAITH IS A GIFT! (Ephesians 2:8-10). @janarbeth, welcome to CB Forums. To God Be The Glory

    The Real Sabbath Day of GOD = Genesis 2;2-3, Exodus 20;8-11, Luke 4;16

    Christ's work of salvation will continue until the last gentile is saved. But it is more required today! Work IS required. (Hebrews 4:11). To God Be The Glory

    The Real Sabbath Day of GOD = Genesis 2;2-3, Exodus 20;8-11, Luke 4;16

    If that's true, (which it is not) then why do people "work" to enter into that rest??? To God Be The Glory

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I beg to differ. He was addressing the Apostles and disciples which are the body of Christ (vs. 2).

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    When communicating with others Scripture references would help. Acts 1:5; 8 reads: 5) "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." 8) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Actually, Christians are born at different times in history and therefore are saved individually and not as a group. To God Be The Glory

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It's because you have NOT read post #487! Why do people rely on others what the Holy Spirit is teaching? At least be like the Bereans who searched the Bible to see if what Paul was teaching is so. To God Be The Glory

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    As I've already stated, your exegete of Scripture is something else to behold. I beg to differ! The term "the like manner" is merely a shadow (the putting away of the filth of the flesh) as Peter stated in 1 Peter 3:21. It does NOT declare that water baptism is 100% essential for salvation as...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Where did you learn how to exegete the word of God? 1 Corinthians 3:6 is dealing with "witnessing" the word of God and has NOTHING to do with "baptism" as you are claiming!!! It's a wonder, LOL.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    @DJT_47, If water baptism is essential for salvation, why didn't Jesus baptize any? Paul did in 1 Corinthians 1:14; 16; but only a handful. 14) I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I...

    The Real Sabbath Day of GOD = Genesis 2;2-3, Exodus 20;8-11, Luke 4;16

    You said creation has ended but indicated the seventh day has not, in Hebrews 4:1-11 and Psalms 95:11. Question: "If the implications of the seventh day is ongoing that is not to do any kind of work and punishable by death, why would David urge people to enter (work) into that rest?" To God Be...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The WORD "BAPTISM" MEANS TO "WASH." There is only ONE BAPTISM which is circumscribed in Scripture, Ephesians 4:5. And, this is that we read about in Titus 3:5. In another part of the Bible, the same idea is found in Hebrews 9:22. The word "purge" here means to "cleanse." Many Christians...

    Don’t Ignore Or Dismiss The LORD’s Return; You Could Be Caught Unprepared And Be Left Behind To Deal With The Beast = Matthew 24;32-42, Revelation 13

    When Jesus returns He will be gathering up all of His people who are still living at that time and will bring them to heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 reads: 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead...
