Luke 24:38-43 shows Jesus resurrected in a physical body; not as a spirit. Now we know that Christ, being human, was composed of spirit and soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). So the fact that He was flesh and bones does not mean that He isn't God (because of John 4:24). That is a false...

Nope. Even gifts given by God can be rejected. God is not a mafia boss. He doesn't give you "an offer you can't refuse". Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a gentleman. And this is a very valid comment.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm merely saying that Jesus is come in the flesh in that He dwells within the flesh of each member of His body. Of course there is a distinctive Person (the Son) who is returning on the clouds. But the Person of the Holy Ghost is also Jesus Christ in that He is the...

There is in fact one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4); the Father (John 4:23-24), the Son (Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12), and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39, 2 Timothy 1:14). There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5); the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), the Son (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians...

He does live personally in our flesh...unless you are contending that Jesus isn't the Christ...in which case 1 John 5:1 would tell us that you aren't born again. Col 1:27, To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you...

The Holy Spirit's job is to bring glory to Jesus.....He will rarely even speak of Himself. Not because He isn't equal to the Father and the Son; but because it is an aspect of His personality that He does not bring glory to Himself.

I will only say that your eternity hangs in the balance.

That's why we need to be born again. When the Holy Spirit draws a man, He enables him to make a decision to receive Christ; and as he makes that decision, He makes him born again so that he can make that full 180-degree turn. He puts oil on the tracks, so to speak, so that you can fully turn...

That is absolutely correct. So, Jesus is a living and moving picture of the Father? That speaks of the Trinity to me. Again, John 8:24 is not the only verse where Jesus utilizes the term I AM to denote His Deity to the scribes and Pharisees. It was the first time; and it didn't quite...

Do you even know your Bible? The Bible clearly teaches that no one can keep the letter of the law (in the power of the flesh)...Galatians 6:13. The only way anyone can successfully "turn over a new leaf" (if by that you mean repent of sins) is if they believe in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit...

It is (True Trinity. (posts #1-#6)).

No; for the only salvational value in the water is in that it provides an accurate representation of death, burial, and resurrection in our identification with that in Christ.

Jesus took on a finite human form when He descended to become the Son. He emptied Himself of some of the attributes of Deity in order to be able to come and die on the Cross. He became human. (for example, the Son is no longer Omniscient, since He has a finite, human mind; while the Spirit...

That we do not have indwelling sin is a """""doctrine of devils"""""" and because you believe in that doctrine, you deceive yourself and the truth is not in you (1 John 1:8).

Yes, and there are about 50 things given in the Sermon on the Mount that tell us what are the specifics of what that love might look like.

No, the Holy Spirit is not going to rebuke me...for what I am saying is very much in line with the Cross. For I am preaching that we are saved through identification with Jesus' death on the Cross, His burial, and His resurrection.

1Pe 3:20, Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21, The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the...

A case can be made in holy scripture that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins is essential to salvation. Act 2:38, Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall...

I got my interpretation not from any commentary; but from a literal understanding of the text.

Allow me to clarify my position... I believe that water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission has the power to save... But that it is not exclusively the only means by which a man can be saved. Consider. Those who merely believe "should not perish" (John 3:16)...
