No doubt... The same absoluteness that is given for being baptized in faith is given to the one who calls on the name of the Lord.

If anyone is saved by grace through faith (and that not of themselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast), he is transformed, regenerated, and renewed on the inside; and is from henceforth inclined towards doing the will of the Father, in the way of works. It can...

I tend to disagree with you....and would say that the burden of proof is on you. Again, the burden of proof is on you here. There is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5, Mark 12:29); even the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21). Yet, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the...

However, if you merely believe you "should not perish" (John 3:16). If you call on the name of the Lord you "shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).

The church consists of you and me...every person who believes on Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the Cross for salvation is a member of the body of Christ...the church. In Romans 6:4, we are told that walking in newness of life is the sure result of being baptized (with faith...

A prayer more likely to save you is: Dear Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I admit that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour and that You are that Saviour. I call upon Your Name for salvation. Please forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour. I confess that You are...

I do know and understand that you have been a Jehovah's Witness; and I know also that they specifically teach salvation by works. I would only say to this that the authenticity of one's faith before God is not tested by works...God sees our fatih whether we have works or whether we do not have...

What's it going to hurt if I go along with them? If they're right, the person's sins will be remitted before they die because of the hurry. If they're wrong, there is no harm done even if we baptize the person by my estimation.

It does in fact appear to be what the text is clearly saying. As for what I am teaching, I think that I made it clear... That entire sanctification can be accomplished in a moment of time through baptism in Jesus' Name for the remission of sins; when if you don't receive such a baptism, it...

This is what I consider to be a fallacy in interpreting the word...eisegesis....reading into the text what we want it to say rather than believing the text and pulling from it what it does say....exegesis. Some will even go so far as to say that what we read in the kjv is not according to the...

Believing in Jesus means that you "should not perish" (John 3:16)...iffy. Believing and being baptized means that you "shall be saved" (Mark 16:16)...much more absolute. My take on believer's baptism is that you believe and repent and this brings justification. Sanctification for that...

Hi @Spurgeon's Girl, In John 5:29, it appears to say that those who have done evil will be raised unto damnation. And those who have done good will be raised unto life everlasting. Does this not mean that all will be raised unto damnation; since all have done evil (Romans 3:23) and none have...

Of course...works do shew forth that faith is genuine...and it is only a genuine faith that will save a man. What if God has not preordained that a certain man, though saved, will walk in any works (such as with the thief on the Cross)? Does that man go to hell? Was Jesus lying when He said...

That is talking about fruit; not works. Of course works can result out of such fruit as what is described there; but one can have love, for example, without it ever being exhibited to help someone as a work (for example, if there is a deathbed conversion). What things (according to the...

All have actually done evil (Romans 3:23, Galatians 3:22) and no one does good (Romans 3:12). Are then all raised unto the resurrection of damnation? I'm testing you. The actual answer to this question is actually found somewhere buried in my thread that I now link you to: Commentary on Romans.

In Oneness circles, it has been mentioned that the blood is in the water (1 John 5:8). But I would say that only believer's baptism would avail to secure one's salvation in the absolute sense of the word (Mark 16:16).

The thief on the Cross is an example of one who attained to salvation without any works. Again, Ephesians 2:8-9 (kjv), Titus 3:5 (kjv), Romans 4:5-6 (kjv), and Romans 11:5-6 (kjv), all testify to the fact that we are saved apart from works in the big picture. Works are only the icing on the...

There is always a reconciliation in scripture for any apparent contradictions. I gave you an explanation that dealt with the seeming contradiction that you brought forth and you would not accept it. Which does not indicate that it is invalid. I will say to you now that there is always an...

Hebrews 1:1-3 has within it the understanding that God created the worlds. The fact of the matter is that Jesus died for sins; and if it became apparent that aliens coming to earth were a sinful people, it would be necessary to preach the gospel to them; and they would be saved by grace through...
