Actually, 1 Peter 3:20-21 (kjv) would point out a different story. It is not that a man cannot be saved apart from water baptism (calling on the name of the Lord will do, Romans 10:13); but that a man can be saved through water baptism, as a confession of Christ, is evident from Matthew 10:32)...

Yes, I consider that a man who is given to Jesus is guaranteed to enter the fold; while someone who is merely drawn by the Father to Jesus may or may not come into the fold. All are drawn to Jesus; while not all are given to Jesus. Nevertheless if you look at one verse before verse 13, verse...

Mat 7:15, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:16, Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Mat 7:17, Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree...

All men are drawn to Jesus; not all men are given to Jesus: they are two different things.

The Son is the Father (Isaiah 9:6); while the Father is not the Son (Isaiah 57:15, 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7). Therefore I say B; and in doing so my answer is also A. While if I were to answer A, B would be excluded from my answer.

Excellent post. But I would say that even though there are no contradictions in the word of the Lord, there are apparent contradictions which must be reconciled by intermediate scriptures.

There is nothing that I am aware of that I can offer as an absolute proof text; other than the scripture already posted: but as evidence I would suggest that there will be descendants of Jacob who also belong to the church of Philadelphia as a designation and who will "keep the word of His...

Certain of the descendants of Jacob will not have to go through the GT....for they were saved in the times of the Gentiles...and therefore will be included with the Gentiles in the rapture of the church.

I know I'm butting in... The Lord knows what that age is for each individual. Though I perceive that it is a trick question. Because a child will potentially be saved if they die before the age of accountability; but they will be lost if they fail to receive Christ after reaching that age...

Jer 30:7, Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

From the perspective of eternity, those who make it are already worshiping the Lord in heaven. And those who don't make it are already suffering in hell. God created us accordingly; and also worked out every thing in our lives according to what He foreknew would be those redeemed and those not...

Jesus is the Word (John 1:1, John 1:14)...so we partake of His flesh by partaking of the word of God (like pure spiritual milk, 1 Peter 2:1-3). And we also partake of His blood by appropriating His blood to our lives; by receiving the forgiveness of sins that is given through His shed blood...

It is both, that they are the same Person, and that they are distinctly different Persons.

I don't believe that it was. Jesus' blood was in His body; and His body was on His person. A certain priest may have the Holy Spirit... You would only know by whether you have actually experienced the Holy Spirit yourself....His presence is unmistakeable. The gift of discernment of spirits...

Both are the same Spirit; but one is only Spirit and not flesh. Hope this helps.

In fact, in Paul's day, many were sick and even died because they did not recognize the body and blood of the Lord. So, I would ask, why does this not happen in Protestant churches where they do not recognize that the actual body and blood of the Lord is being partaken of in communion? Is the...

Those who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture consider the doctrine of the timing of the GT to be a non-essential (while you may not be allowed to teach in their churches if you hold to a different viewpoint).

A and B...because they are one and the selfsame Spirit.

I trust that God has given me the Holy Spirit because I have asked Him for the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:9-13). And I trust the Holy Spirit to do that. It is a matter of personal relationship with Jesus. Do you not want that? Do you not know that you do not have to go through a Catholic Priest in...

The Holy Spirit will guide into all truth those who have Him....God does not confer the Holy Spirit on someone just because they belong to a church of a certain title. He gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him (Luke 11:9-13). These promises were given in holy scripture to anyone who would...
