    Discerning : The Water Cults

    I have been slowly going through the epistle of Paul to the Romans as being my primary teaching thread. I have condensed my teaching in that singular thread instead of making many threads because I consider that to be more expedient. I address what is written on your threads because I consider...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Good, and I will let you believe that you don't need to be baptized in water (even though it could be to your eternal destruction). So, I take it this conversation is finished? I will say this: that a careful comparison between Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 and Romans 8:30, with a view to the...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    If you don't confess Jesus before men, you are denying Him before men. Baptism in Jesus' Name is a radical confession of Jesus before men; identifying not only with a desire to be saved (as in walking forward at a Crusade or church service) but with the death, burial, and resurrection of...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Yes, my role as "pastor" (and I do not need to have flattering titles applied to me; but since you are applying it I will not reject the notion that I am pastor) has to do with being a watchman as it is written in Ezekiel. I go slowly with my teachings because I want to take the time to study...

    How to walk = IN The Light.

    Salvation cannot be lost if the faith that you have is a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14). It is a quality of faith that gives everlasting life (John 6:47)..,life that can never come to an end; otherwise it...

    Are Christians Sinners?

    Yes, I do.

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 will tell you that the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who will be water baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins.

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    It is your choice to not believe in the power of baptism to save a man. However, it should be clear that rantismal regeneration is a biblical doctrine. (where rantism is the alliterative term for sprinkling). Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    I am teaching slowly through the book of Romans in the following thread. Commentary on Romans. There are a few other threads that I have started that contain my teaching on certain matters. I consider that they speak for themselves and that I do not have to overextend myself by repeating the...

    How to walk = IN The Light.

    They say that the righteous "shall live" by faith; each and every one. That we are "made" righteous, is evident in other verses (such as 1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

    How to walk = IN The Light.

    I think that you are misrepresenting what I teach. I am all for the idea that God is the one who saves us, totally. If you have a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end (Matthew 10:22, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14), you are sealed by the Holy Spirit and the...

    The Case Against the Trinity

    The gospel of Jesus Christ, in a nutshell, is contained in John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

    Are Christians Sinners?

    I take it according to 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv). btw, very literally.

    The Only Way To Get Saved From Hell.

    Is not the baptism performed by God Himself in water? 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...

    How to walk = IN The Light.

    I will say this, that if someone has the right kind of faith, they have everlasting life (John 6:47); and this life can never come to an end; otherwise it would have been defined as temporal. Such a faith is a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10) and enduring to the end...

    How to walk = IN The Light.

    I beg to differ (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:28). The above verses are the foundation for the reformation which you apparently want to deny. If we do not continue in His goodness, we will be cut off (Romans 11:20-22). We continue in His goodness by faith. Eph 2:8...

    The Case Against the Trinity

    The temple is a habitation of God through the Spirit, Ephesians 2:21-22.

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    Nope. 1) it isn't heresy. and, 2) it won't be cut off. The Spirit and the water and the blood agree together in one, is what that verse is saying. Consider also the following. The Greek word for "and' is "kai" and it can be translated as "even." So, 1 John 5:8 can be translated, 1Jo 5:8...

    Discerning : The Water Cults

    I have a few threads that I add to on an infrequent basis. Every once in a while I bump those threads up so that people can be ministered to by them. I do not feel that I need to overwhelm people with my presence by bumping them up more frequently. If I do it only from time to time, I believe...

    So what's so new about the new Covenant, and is it better, really?

    To be more accurate, the law does not have the power to impart life (Galatians 3:21); while it does have the power to convert a soul (Psalms 19:7 (kjv)), in that it shows us to be sinners in need of a Saviour (Romans 3:20), and in this is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ (Galatians 3:24).
