The laws of the New Covenant include the laws of the Old Covenant (Matthew 5:17-20).

Acts of the Apostles 2:38 is a (conditional) promise according to Acts of the Apostles 2:39. Also, compare Acts of the Apostles 2:39 to Romans 8:30, with special emphasis on the idea of those who are called.

So, I will not repeat myself again here. It is obvious that you do not accept my viewpoint; which does not in and of itself make my viewpoint invalid.

Probably Luke 18:9-14.

You conveniently left out verses 19 and 20. Very dishonest of you... That's "spelling" and "part"

Dead to the Law

Notice that Romans 4:8 says, "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin." It does not say who that man is. If it is talking about the person who is born of God, it is talking about someone who "cannot sin" (1 John 3:9) and therefore would be speaking of the sins that they...

@soul, your quote that has my name on it is not something that I have said (on two counts). Kindly change it to fit the poster who said it.

It is. Because a person who is not being convicted and drawn cannot come to salvation in Jesus Christ; but the person who is being drawn is enabled to come to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ; while they have not yet been born again. The person who has come to salvation through faith in...

What's the difference?

No; I believe that He wants to be given to people as the result of being baptized in Jesus' Name (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39)

The moment that they are justified? or, when Christ returns (1 John 3:2-3)?

No, I keep saying that water baptism has the power to save. There is a difference. There are no magical properties in the water that saves a man. The baptism in water saves in that it is a perfect representation of being buried and risen with Christ as a confession of Jesus before men...

Phl 3:21, Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

gnosticism. Rom 7:18, For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

I'm just inclined to stick with the Bible that I have in my pocket that I read on a daily basis. I don't feel that I need additions that come from second-hand sources as being on a par with the inspired word of God. Anything that is second-hand, I count as being a subject for Berean study.

My position, which has not been compromised, is that water baptism in Jesus' name has the power to save; but not that it is the only method by which a person can be saved. A person can be saved by calling on the name of the Lord only, for example (Romans 10:13). You are trying to confuse...

I gave you the short version. Most assuredly, 1 John 3:9 is very likely hyperbole; exaggeration to make a point. What point? That when a person is born again, they have made a 180-degree turn away from sin and are now walking in the direction of righteousness. As it is written, Pro 4:18...

This righteousness is practical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

See 1 John 1:8. It condemns you as deceiving yourself and it tells all of us that the truth is not in you.
