What do you think? That hypocrisy is not a sin?

In the above passage, Jesus makes it clear: that the things he has spoken of in the Sermon on the Mount are spoken to be obeyed; not merely to show a man that he is a sinner and cannot measure up to the standard that Jesus gives in the Sermon on the Mount.

If you truly trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as that which saves you, then you would not only identify with Him in those things with water baptism but you would not fight against others also identifying with Him in those things through water baptism. Because it...

My trust is not in the water but in the operation of God in that I have confessed the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the most concrete way that I can, by identifying with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection. If that identification could be made apart from going underneath the water, then I...

Really? Why don't you elaborate on that?

1Pe 2:1, Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 1Pe 2:2, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1Pe 2:3, If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Actually, the more accurate translation of that is that "he was to be blamed." (in the kjv). In John 5:24 (kjv) we find that those who hear Jesus' words and believe in Him who sent Him shall not come into condemnation. So then, your translation has translated it in a faulty manner. Also...

Then there is a contradiction between that and John 5:24 (kjv). If you translate John 5:24 as the nkjv and other watered-down translations do, translating it as "shall not come into judgment" then it is in contradiction to 2 Corinthians 5:10....which tells us that believers shall indeed be...

Yes....and the blood of Jesus does not only justify (as per Romans 5:9)...it also sanctifies (Hebrews 13:12, Hebrews 10:29) and cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). You are the same person who previously said that you believe everyone has thoughts that would shame hell with every other...

I'm thankful that I didn't gamble my eternity on the idea that I could be saved without water baptism in Jesus' Name... Now I most certainly believe that a person can be saved merely by calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:13) and that this will provide absolute assurance (though it is...

Even if that is the case, it does not mean that we are to ignore "what is in parentheses". "What is in parentheses" does have an impact on our doctrine; and I would say that it is not as omittable as some would make it out to be. I think that there is definitely a gambling on eternity that...

Actually, the more accurate translation of that is that "he was to be blamed." (in the kjv). In John 5:24 (kjv) we find that those who hear Jesus' words and believe in Him who sent Him shall not come into condemnation. So then, your translation has translated it in a faulty manner. Also...

It is certainly not that we are saved by our self-effort... However, there is a practical righteousness (1 John 3:7) that is given (Romans 5:17) to those who truly believe in Jesus Christ...and in order to receive that righteousness, we must repent (Luke 13:1-5)... Because God is not going to...

Jude 1:3-4, NIV: Jde 1:3, Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. Jde 1:4, For certain individuals whose condemnation was written...

A question... How do the following verses apply to what @Behold has said? 2Pe 2:18, For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 2Pe 2:19, While they promise...

I would refer you to 1 John 3:7. I have been redeemed from what I was doing previously; because if Moses can enter the promised land after having been forbidden to do so (at the Mount of transigfuration), then I can enter back into a holy life after having apparently "fallen away". When...

raptured?

Right. Everlasting life has to do with abiding (1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17; see also Romans 11:20-22).

With the same measure you mete, it will be measured back to you. Don't be surprised if someone calls you a hypocrite in the near future over something similar. I take my medicine because Jesus appeared to me in a vision and told me to take my medicine (and therefore it is not a sin for me to...

I think that stopping and getting into the word for yourself rather than listening to the many voices of every internet teacher is a very wise proposition. Get rid of the clutter, Amen. I would just encourage you with this scripture: Act 11:22, Then tidings of these things came unto the ears...
