The point being that those who rest in Christ alone will have the perfection of grace... While those who are working their way to keep themselves saved in the flesh will find themselves falling short of the glory of the Lord. Another point to be made, however, is that in Romans 3:23, the words...

Practical application from primarily the epistles. I also do not ignore historical details that can be found in the Bible itself. I'm just saying that I don't like to go outside of the Bible for historical details that may convolute the message of the Bible. I heard of one instance where a...

Yes, yes, and yes. I do not usually concern myself with the details of history; such as what you might find in "Manners and Customs of Bible Times" For these reasons, I believe that my gift is more "the word of wisdom" than teaching. For I am more concerned with application; while I do try...

As many as are baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27). Therefore they are in Christ. And, since the first mention of baptism in scripture is in water (the river Jordan) that sets a precedent for every subsequent mention of baptism in scripture (that it is also in water)...

I agree wholeheartedly....and this does not change the fact that when we trust in the gospel to save us, it will make us into new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 (kjv))...we will become righteous even as He is righteous (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6)... It will not be any more a...

Col 2:12, Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

After you died to self...in going under the water you were buried and in coming up out of it you were risen with Christ (Colossians 2:12).

Don't repent...wait for god to save you... You can't repent until after god has saved you anyway...so it is useless to try. See what I mean by repentance being downplayed in Calvinistic theology?

It is His performance as He lives His life in you and through you (Galatians 2:20, Romans 5:19)...it translates into what you do as being righteousness even as He is righteous (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6). The righteousness of Christ is not only imputed...it is also imparted (1 John...

I would suggest that you read Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, and Hebrews 4:7. But it is fine with me that you will not discuss anything else with me...it means that I will have less opposition when it comes to what I am preaching elsewhere...

If the title of this thread be founded in reality then there is no need for the shed blood of Jesus. Because baptism does indeed have the power to save (Ezekiel 36:25-27, Romans 6:1-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:11-15, 1 Peter 3:20-21; and there may be even more). I will say that I believe...

The first mention of baptism in holy scripture has John the Baptist baptizing people in the Jordan river (in water!). So yes, it is the biblical meaning.

Elaborate.

Now if we are here engaging in debate, then by debate standards you may have won the argument. But I would suggest to you that there is something more important than merely winning an argument; and that is that we receive from the Holy Ghost the true meaning of scripture. Therefore I would...

James 2:19 is important.

No you are espousing Tritheism; and I am espousing the true Trinity.

I disagree with none of this. It appears that you don't believe this; but rather that He existed in the form of 1/3 of God. yes, before He was incarnated He was the Father and existed side-by-side with the Holy Ghost whom He would release back into eternity next to the Father in Luke 23:46...

Because you don't have an answer for them. The Father is not the Son. He is a Spirit inhabiting eternity (Isaiah 57:15). He is not come in human flesh in that form as the pre-incarnate Christ. The Son is the Father in that He is the same Spirit as the Father in His internal essence, if He be...

If you read the Bible according to the wording alone, you may miss what the Holy Ghost is wanting to say to you. But if you meditate on the word (see Psalms 1), seeking to know what the Holy Spirit means by what He is saying, you will be taught by Him.

Jesus will be called by the name of "The everlasting Father" according to Isaiah 9:6...in order to deny this you have to change the wording of the kjv, not once, but twice. And that is utilizing eisegetical practices in your interpretation of the word of the Lord.
