    Who is the One that is Coming ?

    I must not be a modalist then (though I have been accused of being one) because I do see that there are three distinct Persons in the Godhead (though each one is the same Spirit (Ephesians 4:4, John 4:24).

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Repentance implies you are going to be obedient to something. I believe that this obedience is to the moral tenets of the gospel, found in Matthew 5-7, Luke 6:20-49, and Galatians 5:22-23 and elsewhere in the New Testament. For the gospel does indeed contain a morality that we are to be...

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    The Holy Ghost is God; but He is distinct from the Father and the Son.

    The True God and Eternal Life !

    1 John 5:20 actually substantiates oneness theology quite nicely. At one Oneness church I went to, they used to quote it at the end of every service. 1Jo 5:20, And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that...

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    Just read the scripture in question (Romans 3:21). Galatians 2:20 does not speak of self-righteousness; but of Christ's righteousness as He lives His life in and through us. the #613 will be used to denote that there are more than just the original ten commandments written in stone that we...

    Who is the One that is Coming ?

    I said, the Son was begotten in the incarnation (Luke 1:35). Luk 1:35, And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    Obedience to the gospel has to do with the moral tenets of the gospel found in the Sermon on the Mount, the Sermon on the Plain, the list of the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, and other virtues exemplified in the New Testament. Such an obedience is not salvational to us. It is the...

    You say you don't believe the Rapture is real=then just stay here!!

    I believe that Revelation 3:10 indicates a pre-tribulation rapture for those of Philadelphia who "keep the word of His patience".

    Jesus isn't Catholic

    Jesus has forgiven the believer in Him of past, present, and future sins. My reasons for believing this are as follows: 1) All of our sins were yet in the future when Jesus died on the Cross (Romans 5:8). 2) He has given to us eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12). 3) Those things which are...

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    The scripture in question teaches that all will not be fulfilled until heaven and earth pass away. For it is prophesied that heaven and earth shall pass away; and that is a prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Consider that the law includes the Psalms (John 10:34) and the prophets (1 Corinthians...

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    See 1 John 5:1. Then do a search on "Christ died for our sins."

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    It could not be legally carried out because there were not enough witnesses. So Jesus didn't violate the law in showing mercy to the woman. It is also true that He Himself was not humanly a witness to the crime (arguments of whether he was omniscient or not aside). So He could not carry out...

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    Jesus fulfilled the law by living a perfect life; and He fulfills the law today by living a perfect life in and through us (Galatians 2:20).

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    All will not be fulfilled until heaven and earth pass away, according to that scripture.

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    Jesus came not to destroy the law and the prophets but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17-20).

    The Ten Commandments—What happened?

    No; Jesus followed Jewish law, which required that the witnesses to the crime be the first ones to cast a stone in any stoning. Since there were no witnesses left to stone her, Jewish law did not require the death of the adulterous woman.

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    So, is it Christ's physical blood that is applied? Or, is it done only in the sense of a spiritual reality that is borne out by the fact that Jesus died for us on the Cross?

    John MacArthur says you have nothing to do with being "born again"

    As it is written, 2Co 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

    Jesus isn't Catholic

    Hi @Behold I think it depends on whether the person in question is carnal or spiritual. A carnally-minded person will have the thinking that Paul had to address in Romans 6:1-2... However, this thinking is based on a very true premise of extravagant and scandalous grace, (preached in Romans...
