    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    Again, how many times are we told to be baptized. The scriptures define the process. Matthew 3:13-16 ESV / 91 helpful votes Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    There are a lot of general statements that faith is the primary condition of salvation But how many times are we told to be baptized. Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    Why did Paul say that? I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not remember baptizing anyone else. For Christ did not send me to baptize but...

    Baptism is not the source of salvation.....it is the process of salvation. No scripture will say you can be saved without baptism. The scriptures I sent will prove that.

    You are going to run into some abusive people where ever you go. How are you going to get away from that, stay away from people in general. I am sorry if you have had some bad experiences at churches. But still you should be active in the Christian community and go to church. God Bless

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    Again there is no scriptures about not going to church. There is no tradition on not going to church. The New Testament repeatedly shows Christians were gathering to worship the Lord. So Christians should go to church or gather to worship the Lord. But giving to the church is also noted in the...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    There was effectively two denominations in the New Testament....Jewish-Christians and Gentile-Christians that believed differently and practiced Christianity differently. The Catholics believe in one faith and we all know how that turned out. Yeshua and the Apostle did not comment on the path...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    The concept of born again come from the fact that Baptism is miraculous event. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1st Peter 3:21 Jesus answered...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    As you know the term Trinity does not appear in the Bible. The term was coined pretty early but it meant three. The three in one definition was defined by the Catholic church to stop the disagreement about the differences between God the Father and God the Son----like who was senior and the...

    Which major Christian church in the U.S. is closest to the truth?

    There are some that are pretty close. Most adopted some of the Catholic doctrines like the 3 in 1 God formula for the Trinity and Augustine's Original Sin, or believe divorce is possible in Christianity, but those false beliefs do not threaten salvation. The Holy Ghost churches are very close...

    Do You Have to Go to Church to Be a Christian?

    I went to a church one time in Virgina Beach VA and as we were walking in the parking lot was full of cadillacs and Lincolns and Royal Royces. It was no surprise when the pastor was asking for thousand dollar checks because they were wanting to buy some land to expand.

    Do You Have to Go to Church to Be a Christian?

    I would never say that. I did more or less say that it is something for you to settle between you and Yeshua. What your saying here does occur in some churches. I worship with several denominations, here in the states and in England and Scotland and Spain and in Italy and I can say I have not...

    Do You Have to Go to Church to Be a Christian?

    Hey there @MatthewG If someone said that you cannot be a Christian if you do not go to church, I would disagree. If someone said that it is not important to go to church, I would disagree. If someone said that scriptures do not tell us to go to church. I would disagree. “Why do you call Me...

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    I grew up with people thinking that the democrats were for the working people and the Republicans were for the rich. Now the Republicans are for good people and the democrats are for the creeps, queers, criminals, communists, illegal aliens and atheists. Yuck! We need to move them all to...

    If sealed with the HS, how does one become UNsealed ?

    Well it a matter of a person's approach to biblical study. Does a person go to the Bible to prove what they want to believe or learn what belief is true. The later is wrong thinking. You have to take the scriptures as a whole. Yahweh so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to offer...
