Passages that speak of man's free will include Joshua 24:15, Revelation 3:20, Revelation 22:17, and John 1:12.

I don't think that a Heavenly Mother is mentioned anywhere in holy scripture; and therefore I consider it safer not to form any doctrine around the subject.

Believing in the Deity of Christ is essential for salvation, brother.

Peter was in fact baptized in water first...in John 4:1-2. The 120 were water baptized at the juncture of John 4:1-2. Something tells me that this is false teaching. The point is that your statement that Peter and the 120 were not baptized is false. No; as I said, I have leanings towards...

If you did not receive the gift you do not have the gift. The latter part of your statement is error.

What you said merely made me think of that scripture (in Romans 14).

To be certain, there were Catholics who have had misdirected zeal and because they were not saved, they went about things the wrong way (they tried to force people to believe the truth). It was a bad time in history; but what was done in order to defend the doctrine in those days cannot be seen...

Each person stands or falls to his own master. Who are we then, to judge another?

In Matthew 5:17-20, we find that not one jot or tittle shall pass away from the law until heaven and earth pass away; and that if anyone does and teaches the least of God's commandments, they will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. All 613 laws, therefore, are related as a standard that...

That is Calvinism. And as such, it is more in line with a FALSE and PERVERTED gospel than what he is decrying as FALSE and PERVERTED.

And therefore, turning to God is to turn away from sin. So, even with your definition of repentance, turning away from sin is not excluded from the definition. That is not what contrition means.

Nope. Try to understand posts #1-#6 of the following thread: True Trinity. For they show forth the Oneness of God in a Trinity.

Nevertheless, the law does apply in condemnation to the one who has not trusted in Christ.

Yes, I am aware of that. However I would say that unbelieving sinner, as a category, consists of both Jews and Gentiles. The preacher of the ten commandments may be instrumental in the salvation of a person. Jde 1:22, And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jde 1:23, And others...

Trinitarians are also true monotheists.

(cont'd from #114) If we do and teach the least of God's commandments we will be called great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-20). This would indicate that it is not only the ten commandments that we are to follow if we want to be counted great in God's kingdom.

Therefore, the law applies to all of us (Jew and Gentile alike). (cont'd in #116)

However, there are those who people define today as "believers" who have never repented and who will contend for the idea that repentance is unnecessary.

Exactly! That the believer under the New Covenant is governed by the law is evident in such passages as: Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5. The law gives the specifics of what it means to love God and neighbor (Matthew...

I have been taking those scriptures in context; you have been taking them out of context. In context, John 2:19-21 indicates that Jesus rose bodily from the dead; and that is the bottom line.
