That's right...and He offers you His righteousness in exchange for your sins...which is not impractical (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:10, Matthew 5:6). Of course not...He preached that if you know the truth, the truth will set you free from sin (John 8:31-36)...so He was saying that you will be...

You may have believed unto righteousness; but you were not saved until you confessed (alongside of water baptism) unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).

So baptism is not in water, iyo? It should be clear that the first mention of baptism in scripture has John the Baptist baptizing people in the Jordan river (i.e. in water!) It is another lie from the pit that baptism is not in water. We know from Ephesians 4:5 that there is one baptism. So...

How do you reconcile those verses with Ephesians 2:8-9?

Follow with me now...the teachings found in the epistles, are, in fact, the teachings of Jesus. Because Jesus said that His Spirit would lead the disciples into all truth (John 16:13)...and Peter, in saying that Paul's writings are holy scripture (2 Peter 3:15-16) included Paul in that promise...

No difference. I am emphasizing the "should" versus the "shall" in the verses in question (Mark 16:16, John 3:16, Romans 10:13).

Hi, @Reggie Belafonte, While we know that the Father is not the Son, we also know that the reverse is not untrue. For we find in Isaiah 9:6 that the Son shall have the name attributed to Him as "The everlasting Father". Jesus is God in the flesh; and God is the Father. Therefore Jesus is the...

You really think so? Personally, I think that only those who have a working knowledge of holy scripture can quote it without making a fool of themselves. For it is written, 2Ti 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word...

It is not required; but it is the sure result of a genuine salvation. btw, welcome to the boards!

You cannot prove your point; while I have already proved my point quite nicely.

Well, let me just say to you that Jesus is not going to reject someone over the presupposed notion that they are not one of His elect. For He said, Jhn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Therefore, the idea that if I am...

@brightfame52, you have no answer to this question?

I give as evidence for my case Ezekiel 33:11-20. Eze 33:11, Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Eze 33:12...

Prove it.

No; you do.

If anyone receives Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they become one of God's elect... True or false?

The Pharisees were right about a few things (the resurrection and the existence of spirits).

Nevertheless, what I am saying is scriptural.

Repentance comes before salvation. Otherwise a man can be saved, and then not repent; and he is saved. However, Jesus came to save us from our sins (Matthew 1:21). That is the bottom line.

Rom 5:1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Rom 5:2, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
