Nevertheless, it is possible to receive remission of sins and the Holy Ghost as the direct result of being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

It should be clear that while those who receive Christ are in fact born of God in John 1:12-13, they are not born of God until after they receive Him. They are not born of God first and then receive Him. It says, Jhn 1:12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons...

Yet, in verse 12, it says that a man receives Christ first, and then is born of God; not the other way around. Obviously Jesus died for the sins of the whole world and therefore He shed His blood for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and gave His life as a ransom for all (1 Timothy...

There was no answer to my contention that John 1:12 tells us that we receive Christ first and then are given the right / power to become the sons of God; and not the other way around. So, if there is no logical or biblical answer to that, I think that settles the argument? I may have made that...

1 John 1:8 does not have to be talking about only the unbeliever in order for us to be able to have victory over and freedom from sin. The element of sin within us can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that it no longer has any say over our behaviour (Romans 6:14)...

Here is a "wall of scripture" that only those who desire salvation (or have salvation) will read... Eze 33:11, Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for...

The Sabbath Day and Jesus

And of course that is concerning the humanity of Jesus in the hypostatic union. In His Deity, Jesus and the Father are equal to one another (John 5:18). The concept is definitely found in scripture. Those who don't see it are afflicted by a disease that is spoken of in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4...

I will say this because in Ezekiel 21:14 it says that the third time the sword shall do double damage and therefore I believe that every time the sword of the Spirit strikes, it will do damage to false doctrine in people's minds... In John 8:24, Jesus is referencing back to Exodus 3:14 when He...

Num 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? This was obviously written in the OT before Jesus was incarnated. And God, at that time, was not a man...

What belief is that? I have no vested interest in defending anything I have said recently within this thread; for I do not believe that these doctrines have any bearing on salvation.

I am saying that they will see Him again when they are resurrected, whether they are wicked or righteous (Daniel 12:2).

Why don't you ask the Holy Spirit, who inspired that scripture to be written? I think also that the passage in question teaches us that man still lives on in a conscious fashion without a resurrection.

See Luke 1:37... It may appear to be absurd or foolishness to you; but that is par for the course (1 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 1:18-29). The result of the problem is either 1 or 3 depending on whether you add or multiply. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. This demonstrates radically the...

Because He is a distinct Person from the Father. The Father stayed behind in eternity while also descending to take on an added nature of human flesh. I have expounded on what I mean by this elsewhere. But I will say here again that if anyone dwells in eternity, by nature of what eternity is...

I know. I didn't say that you said that it wasn't. I was merely hoping to provide for you some added insight into what you were saying.

Then you will be opposing Christ's doctrine for as long as you oppose me; for I am preaching Christ's doctrine; which is TRUE and WHOLESOME. This is the work that is done in Christianity... Tit 3:3, For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and...

How does Jesus sit on the very throne of God (Revelation 3:21) if He is not God?

I believe that it is very likely true that every translation translates the Hebrew word "Elohim" in Deuteronomy 6:4 as "God".
