Unbelievers are all psychotic? I don't think so; I believe that having a conscience does not necessarily mean that you are a believer.

You can scroll your mouse on the verse in question and easily read it. It will come up.

That seems to be a common misconception. Keep reading...I have addressed this issue in other threads.

I could say the same to you. You are preaching to the choir. I already believe that a man can be saved apart from water baptism; but that it has the power to seal the deal for absolute assurance (since the Holy ghost is absolutely promised to those who receive water baptism in Jesus' Name for...

He was not the foremost of among sinners because he stated plainly that before he was a persecutor and injurious and a blasphemer...not any more. He was referring to the fact that is it a trustworthy saying to affirm Jeremiah 17:9 as a doctrine for the sake of unbelievers in the room...who need...

In Acts of the Apostles 22:16, the precedent is made that men are to call on the name of the Lord at baptism. Being baptized in Jesus' Name is in fact one of many ways to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. As such, it does have the power to save as a confession of His Lordship in...

A person can most assuredly be saved apart from baptism...however, it has been said that the blood is in the water...so when we read in 1 Peter 3:20-21 that "water baptism now saves you" we can be certain that our sins can be washed away in baptism as the blood is applied when we are plunged...

Sin is, first of all, the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). And yes, we need to redefine it because in Romans 7:6 it tells us that we are no longer bound to the letter but are obedient to the spirit of what is written. So, I would define sin, very simply, as walking after the flesh rather...

I do not believe that your watered-down translations have it right. I follow the kjv and I believe that, while I may be considered to be narrow-minded for doing so, that this actually substantiates my position since the way to life is narrow and few there be that find it (Matthew 7:13-14)...

So did the apostle Matthew (in Matthew 2:15) when he quoted out of Hosea 11:1 and applied what originally applied to Israel, to Jesus as the Son of God. 2 Corinthians 9:6 also warrants going elsewhere in scripture to gain topical context (to Luke 8:11 and Ecclesiastes 11:6), lest the verse be...

As Gentiles we were kept under the law before we had faith (Galatians 3:23) and it is also true that unbelieving Gentiles will be judged by the law and held guilty before God because of the law (Romans 3:19-20). The law declares them sinners (Romans 3:10-18) because Romans 3:10-18 speaks of all...

Hey, I love you too... May the Lord abundantly bless you all your days. Perhaps you just drove me over the edge so that I am now a raving lunatic (in the love of God).

Nope. But I know that you reject this scripture because of the claim that it would make on your life if you accepted it as truth from the Holy Spirit.

There are many Christians who have never been born again of the Holy Spirit (see Matthew 7:21-23)...so yes, I preach the law of Moses to Christians in order that they might become born again Christians.

Read Ezekiel 33:11-20.

That is from the perspective of predestination; from the perspective of God being outside of time (dwelling in eternity...Isaiah 57:15). From the perspective of time, a man does not stand in grace unless he has faith first. He has access into grace by faith...faith is the catalyst for his...

God will remember your sins no more because you have repented of them (if you are born again) and therefore you don't commit the same sins anymore. If you still committed them, they would pop up before God and would be a stench in his nostrils. He will not impute sin to the man who has...

There is no merit in the works that we do. We are in fact born again through faith in Jesus alone. The works that we do afterward are the result of that faith; but they do not save in and of themselves. So you do not work your way into heaven. You are given everlasting life at the moment of...

One must become a believer in order to appropriate what Christ did for them. Christ died for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and gave His life as a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2:6); so you are right on that count, contrary to your Calvinistic bent on things.
