You were mistaken; for Jesus is the same God and not another.

That is correct.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1. I say this because my audience includes more than just those who adhere to the New World Translation. For those who do, I would encourage them to google "Watchtower false prophecies" as it will be an...

Your contention is that Jesus is a lord rather than who He is, the Lord. Very obviously this designation for Christ in holy scripture identifies Him as the Father. For there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5), even the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). It should be clear that no one can say that...

No, I cannot. But Jesus can as He lives his life in me and through me (Galatians 2:20). As I consistently walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, the righteousness of the law will be (practically) fulfilled in me (Romans 8:4). Not according to the letter, but according to the spirit...

Heb 10:14, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Phl 3:15, Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Jde 1:24, Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling...

I know for certain because God gave me this doctrine by way of revelation. Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) But you are definitely correct...

There is no reason for me to deny that my baptism in Jesus' Name was efficacious in my life to procure for me the Holy Ghost and the remission of sins. The only reason I would have to deny such a thing would be if I had not yet received the ordinance and wanted to believe that I am saved...

If you had the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth, then you would be able to confess that "Jesus is the Lord", even in light of Ephesians 4:5 as it is compared to Matthew 11:25 and Luke 10:21. 1Co 12:3, Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus...

In order to keep your theology you have to change the wording of Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 in order to make it fit your theology; and that is one step worse than eisegeting the text.

They received the Holy Ghost and then received baptism in Jesus' Name for the remission (forgiveness) of sins. Going under the water and coming up out of it wrought for them remission (forgiveness) of sins. That they received the Holy Spirit beforehand only made it a guarantee that they would...

Frankly I don't believe that, either; although @Blood Bought 1953 misrepresents me as saying that. What I really believe is that when we come to Christ, we make a 180-degree turn away from sin, death, hell, and satan, towards righteousness, life, heaven, and God. And this does not consist of...

The same Spirit that dwells in Jesus Christ dwells in every believer in all of His fulness (Ephesians 3:19-20)...so every believer is one with every other believer in that sense. The Father dwells in Jesus Christ as He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11)...and therefore...

However, clearly, in some sense, there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).

saying that He and the Father are one is a clear declaration of Deity; and the Pharisees and scribes understood that that is what He was claiming; just as they picked up stones to stone Him for His previous statement for that it was a claim to Deity.

Neither is baptism a work.

The Westcott & Hort / Alexandrian text is basically watered down.

Why do you want to make things tough?

You don't have to even say it....it is evident in your responses towards me.
