You wouldn't recognize something like that if it bit you in the butt.

My belief in "Lucky Repentance" (which is biblical, btw) in no way contradicts the concept that we are saved by grace through faith. We can only begin to walk in holiness and righteousness by the grace of God. Righteousness is indeed a gift (Romans 5:17) and it is indeed practical (1 John 3:7...

There is no law that has the ability to impart life (Galatians 3:21)...not even the law that says, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength; and thy neighbor as thyself." That law merely shows us that we are sinners because without the Holy Spirit we...

What Luther probably didn't understand was that if anyone is saved / born again through the grace of God, they are a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv))...identified by the following scripture, Tit 3:3, For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving...

They picked up stones to stone the Lord both times. Jesus asked them the reason why the second time; and they told Him the reason why they did it both times at that time. What other reason could they have had for stoning Him the first time, other than that He was claiming to be God by...

Is that a suggestion, like in the game of AD&D? And, just what might have been the source of any stress? I am actually feeling pretty good... I do not feel as though I am experiencing too much stress.

In context, Matthew 7:21 is included in the Sermon on the Mount; which was Jesus' dissertation on the will of the Father. He also mentioned that if you keep the words that Jesus gave in the Sermon on the Mount and do them, you will have laid a foundation that will stand when the storms of life...

This is when the lame man at the temple was healed and the people gathered around in amazement. Peter began to preach to them. This has nothing to do with baptizing new converts. Where do you get this stuff from? The times of refreshing is referring to refreshing coming from the presence of...

it would be great if "Blood Blot 1953" weren't a troll... Unbiblical... 2Co 5:21, For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. I really do sing that song and mean it... Knowing that the blood of Jesus doesn't only justify...

For the most part, in the days of the early church, men called on the name of the Lord, or confessed with their mouth that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour, at the time of baptism (Acts of the Apostles 22:16). In Acts of the Apostles 10:44-48, they also confessed Jesus at the time of their...

Matthew 19:11.

Phl 2:9, Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Phl 2:10, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phl 2:11, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ...

I think that, yes, dying to self must take place before you go underneath the water to be buried and then risen with Christ. For baptism is identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ; not just His burial and resurrection. But I think I will take the kjv's word for it...

The answer of a good conscience can mean that your conscience is not clear but good; which would mean that your conscience tells you that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour and therefore the answer of that might be to be baptized in Jesus' Name for the remission of sins.

I wholeheartedly agree with that concept. Where have I said anything to the contrary?

Hi @Charlie24, To believe that water baptism in Jesus' Name has no effect on salvation would be an error on your part (while Catholics baptize in titles so I would doubt where they are going, since there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, other than the...

Can you give me one example of a post where I have come off as saying that, so I can know what you are referring to in particular?

The verses are in the same topical context (see 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv)).

It is still inherent in 1 Timothy 2:5. Jesus is the only go-between. We are the body of Christ so we, as being a part of Him, can also go to the unbelieving on behalf of Christ, in evangelism, and to Christ on behalf of others, in making intercession. But people do not get to God by going...

The answer to that question I believe is yes, if I am not misunderstanding you.
