Therefore the Old Covenant is not the everlasting covenant; that is referring to the New Covenant; which Jeremiah is speaking of in Jeremiah 32:38-40 and which also applies to Gentiles; since it is the New Testament in Jesus' blood. And Gentile Christians are the people of God. Jer 32:38, And...

Rom 12:3, For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Rom 12:4, For as we have many members in one body, and all...

It is one thing to be ignorant of the doctrine of Christ's Deity and to not believe in it for that reason. But for those who understand the doctrine and then reject it, I don't believe that they have any excuse...if they die in that state of unbelief, they will die in their sins. Also, most...

Look at verse 38. Gentile Christians are not the people of God? Look at verse 40. The everlasting covenant is not the New Covenant / New Testament?

I really don't know the answer to that question. Any one of us may have been switched at birth. I believe so.

It is what is taught by Jeremiah 32:38-40 and Psalms 19:9 (kjv). 1 Peter 1:17 merely gives a New Testament substantiation for fearing the Lord.

Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I...

Scripture teaches that there is one baptism (Ephesians 4:5). Saying that scripture teaches more than one baptism is like saying scripture teaches more than one God. Baptism is three-in-one, like the Trinity. 1) water, 2) Spirit, 3) fire.

Sure he does...in 1 Peter 3:20-21. That is 1 Corinthians 1:17...and it has a context. Paul did in fact baptize three individuals...Crispus, Gaius, and Stephanas...and it is very likely that these three did the baptizing from then on. For it should be clear that Paul adopted Jesus' method...

Yes, it is common practice for those who have the truth to take singular verses and make them stand alone. Jesus did that with satan in Matthew 4 and Luke 4. Heb 4:12, For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul...

No, actually I wrote this thread because I was led of the Holy Spirit to do so; after I shared the things that I shared in the thread with my wife and realized that it was a good message for the people here on this message board. You are quick to judge, @Behold. That is going to come up and...

That isn't what you said. You pitted the New Testament God against a different God of the Old Testament.

1Pe 1:17, And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

I will only say that if your water baptism is a confession of Jesus before men, in that you are identifying with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection through baptism in His name, that the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to you. If it is not a confession of Jesus before men (such as...

I think that I would rather refrain from making commentary about this verse in particular; because I am uncertain as to its real meaning and I don't want to comment on anything that I have not studied out.

No, that is the reason why you start threads. For, in judging these things to be true of me (while they are in fact false), you have three fingers pointing back at you (see Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:41-42). I start threads in order to preach the gospel and so that there may be excellent discussion...

I am saying that without Jeremiah 32:38-40, the contention of those who deny eternal security (that a man can walk away himself) would indeed have merit. Jeremiah 32:38-40 and Psalms 19:9 (kjv) cut that off at the chase. The fear of the LORD keeps you from walking away according to those...

...against the true church; which consists of those who place their faith in Jesus and what He did for them on the Cross for salvation. It is not an organization that consists of people who have departed from true and living faith in Jesus Christ in a hierarchy of leadership that is devoid of...

The plant that is planted on rocky ground is in fact a living plant; and the plant that is choked out by thorns is in fact a living plant.
