No other point in mind, just my 3 questions.

Two more questions for RichardBurger. 1. Do you believe that Gentiles have a relationship with Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and that there are ways that this relationship are maintained? 2. Do you believe the same thing about all men (including Jews)? Thank you, Axehead

Then you do agree that he demonstrated visibly a righteous act (his public confession of Christ as Lord of a Kingdom and his rebuke of the other criminal). I share the Bible's view that we are to abide in Christ and this is not passive belief but is demonstrated in our words and actions...

Thank you for adding that 'we need the Spirit to even come to faith in the first place'. It goes without saying then, that newborn babies don't know what is happening with them when they are being baptised. This must be a custom because the Word is clear that one must repent to be saved. I am...

Yes, far from it. You should compare Phillipians 2:6 from the ESV with the KJV. Axehead

Hi Bosco, I will get back on track but had a question for you. Do you think God gives His Holy Spirit to people that are not members of the Roman Catholic Church or any derivative of it? Thank you, Axehead

Haz, please don't add to our words. We never said if the "thief" lived on he would have lived a "perfect righteous" life. No one does. We are babes in Christ and grow in the Spirit as one grows in the natural. Now, I have already disputed with you about the thief. You may not see any physical...

Ok, Haz thanks at least for answering 1 of my 3 questions. Axehead

When you say for free you are misleading people terribly and you really sound like a cheap salesman when you present the Gospel of Jesus Christ that way. There is an incredible cost to following Jesus, IT IS CALLED EVERYTHING! Matt 10:34-37 You family may turn against...

The ESV is not based on the TR. I believe it is Westcott and Hort. Axehead

Hi Bosco, How would one go about finding out what Oral Traditions are from Catholic "Custom" and "Culture" and what Oral Traditions are corroborated by Scripture? Thanks, Axehead

Hi Jess, Glad to meet you. I am not a teenager but don't let that stop you from conversing with us or sharing your portion of Christ with us. If you have Christ then you have much to share. There are a couple of other teenage believers here but you would not know that by their very edifying...

Hi Netchaplain, Would you say that as one matures in the Lord that he is being transformed from within by the Life of Christ and his heart is being purified from unrighteousness to an increasingly greater level of experiential righteousness? Is it possible for the Lord to deliver us inwardly...

Hi Episkopos and dragonfly, Regarding scriptures (ESV), I don't really like that translation because it changes some critical meanings so when you write a verse reference, this site (CyB) will link it to the ESV, automatically. The way to fix that is to go ahead and post your reply then edit it...

Hi Arnie, We are transformed by His righteousness. Righteousness must be found in the heart of man. Jesus said, "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen...

Hi Bosco, Thank you for taking the time to do this. Would you mind giving the Scripture references for the items that are not "custom", as you stated? That seems to be questions 1, 3, 8-15, 17-19. (So, I am to understand that questions 2, 4-7, 16 and 20 are regarded as custom?) Correct me...

Here are the scriptures I promised. ABOUT PRIESTS 1. Jesus instituted a hierarchy of priests for HIS Church as a special class, separate from the people, except the Apostles who were to preach the Gospel. (Mt 10:18, 23:5-12) 2. That God instituted any other than Apostles, Prophets...

Jesus Lover of My Soul Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless...

Hi Hepzipbah, Reading over this thread I realized I missed this short post of yours. I believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is just as needed today (and commanded) as it was when Jesus commanded His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father. Act 1:4 And, being assembled together...

Thank you. Maybe you could look at my 40 questions so far and provide the Scriptural link. Ahhh, very good. Can you point out which ones have a Scriptural link and which ones are historical customs that no one has to follow if their conscience does not allow it? Thank you, Axehead
