Without the Holy Spirit I would not have believed Christ for eternal life! I was baptized (supernaturally) by the Holy Spirit when I heard the Gospel and according to grace through faith I believed! All the gift of God that no man may boast. What about you? Are you depending upon your good...

Are Christians justified by faith only? Perhaps the question should be: What faith is able to save man? There is not controversy between Paul and James. Both write "faith" saves, but Paul writes of saving faith that comes supernaturally by the grace of God. And James focus is on the...

Yes and those, unlike righteous Noah, were not prepared so they were the ones taken by the flood waters when water covered the earth. Since they did not heed the words of righteous Noah they perished with every living thing in the world. Those who were of the world, perished with the world that...

You've omitted the GWTJ from Rev 20. That tells us it is "the dead" who are judged according to what is found written in the books and the book of life. I don't dispute the FACT that Scripture says ALL are accountable to God, whether we have done good or evil. But those who have done good are...

It seems to me that all who were not in the ark were busy trying not to drown in the flood waters that took them away.

That seems to imply Noah and his family did not know the flood waters were coming??? Why obey God and build the ark if they were surprised when the flood waters came? Those taken away by the waters of the flood were those who did not know/believe the flood waters were coming. They were taken...

What you are not understanding is how the New Covenant enlarges upon what is written of Old. In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, but ONE people in Christ. When we read in the New Testament that Israel is no longer comprised of ethnic people (Jews only) but is in fact "all Israel that...

It was only through the power of the Holy Spirit given the Apostles through the breath of Christ that through them the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. Just as the power Christ possessed came through the power of the Spirit in Him, so too this power given the Apostles of Christ only had this...

No one has said what is written in the New makes the Old Covenant promises void. We have repeatedly shown from the New Testament how to understand the fulfillment of the promises of Old. Fulfillment is through Christ by the New Covenant He ushered in. You believe the prophesy of Old cannot...

You're reading every one of them into the prophesy! That is not what the prophets of Old or the New Testament say! That's why you cannot acknowledge that after 70 years of captivity the remnant, that is those who had faith did return to the re-built city and Holy Temple, the second time...

It would seem that he gives little to no heed about what is written concerning ethnic Israel in the NT. His doctrine comes from reading the Old Testament prophets while ignoring what is written in the New.

Today, or this age is the day/age/time/era from the beginning of redemptive history until Christ comes the second time for which mankind MUST be saved. During this age of TIME the covering (unbelief) must be removed from the hearts and minds of those who shall be eternally saved. Whosoever...

You don't appear to know who Israel that shall be saved are??? Why would believers (Israel of God) be content with inheriting again the land of promise, since in Christ believers shall inherit the whole new earth? Your doctrine is informed using only that which is written in the Old without...

I agree David! Those taken away are destroyed by the waters of the flood while only those who entered the ark were saved.

As David NJ has already stated the prophecies of Old are fulfilled in Christ. But you are locked into Christian Zionistic dispensationalism which is the greatest betrayal of Israel. You promote a doctrine that tells the unbelieving nation they need not worry because Christ will come to them...

I've not witnessed anyone denying the prophesies of old. But you, like unbelieving Jews today, fail to understand the prophesies of old are fulfilled in Christ. The only prophesy left to be fulfilled is Christ, as King of kings and Lord of lords coming again with glory and in wrath to gather...

Exactly! The individuals chosen to salvation are ALL people of faith called, "Israel of God." 1 Peter 2:4-10 (KJV) To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood...

What does that tell you about ethnic Israel? Have you not read the words of Isaiah, quoted by Paul "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved"? Isaiah is not speaking of an ethnic people, but the people of God from the nation. It is unto...

I agree the faithful saints caught up to meet the Lord in the air will be with Him. But they will not return to the earth that now is! The reason the faithful are caught up to meet the Lord in the air is because this earth and everything on it will be burned up. Then we who are with the Lord...

Anyone believing salvation will still be possible after the coming of Christ, when He sends His angels to gather His elect from heaven and the four corners of the earth, are living in fantasy. Christ clearly tells us "the end" shall come when after the Gospel has been preached unto all the...
