    Salvation:A doctrinal dilemma

    Strange answer which is more like a non-answer. What exactly do you think then, since you agreed they are all true, which they are? That's exactly the point. Do you accept all as necessary, or pick your favorite one and adhere to it only?

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    The bible says a lot of things but you've chosen those things that you prefer, ignoring the rest. Doing so pits scripture against scripture. Who did the Ethiopian eunuch publicly demonstrate his faith to when he was baptized in the middle of nowhere by Philip in Acts 8? That's a nonsensical...

    The Baptism That Saves: What Most People Miss in Acts 11:16

    Eph 4:5 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" NOT TWO!

    Revelation 20: the thousand years

    No, not at all. You can't answer the question so you're diverting the issue. My point was simple. You can't selectively choose which words are to be believed verbatim versus those that are symbols, which is what you're doing. There is no way to know what the true meaning is on Rev.

    Revelation 20: the thousand years

    The beast, the 2 witnesses, the star and wormwood, the woman and dragon, the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns, 666, unclean spirits like frogs, the great whore, the woman on a scarlet colored beast, Babylon's fall, etc. Plus the temple was destroyed; will there became 3rd temple...

    Revelation 20: the thousand years

    Well I can't dispute that or agree based on what I stated. And as stated, the whole book is laden with symbols, so, which ones mean exactly what what they say verbatim, and which ones don't? How do you pick and choose? It's subjected doing that. Do you simply agree with the ones you like that...

    Salvation:A doctrinal dilemma

    Salvation: A doctrinal dilemma Salvation: how is one saved according to scripture? See below. Do you just pick and choose one of the below scriptures (KJV) you like the best, accept and adopt it as your personal doctrine, and ignore the rest? Aren't they all right? Can or does scripture...

    Revelation 20: the thousand years

    The 1000 yrs is just one example of the problem with Revelation in general. The entire book is full of symbolism and without knowing what the symbols represent it's impossible to know the true meaning of the book. First of all, who was it addressed to and what was the intended meaning to them...

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    Don't bother anymore. I'm done. There's no more room for discussion. This is the foolishness of preaching in living color.

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    No such thing as a deathbed confession to be saved. No examples of it recorded, plus it would make everything else in scripture null and void, making everyone a liar including Jesus. The written word woukd be meaningless and untrustworthy. Is that what you believe? Would that satisfy you?

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    They are not true if the reader doesn't understand and applies his misunderstanding to them incorrectly. They are true but not on a standalone basis. They can't be because they could/would conflict with other scriptures that say something different, something more is required. IS THIS THAT HARD...

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    They are true but not when viewed and considered when isolated on a stand alone basis. And how do you know that and what raises the red flag? Simply by the existence of all the other scriptures that say that other things also are required. If those were taken individually woukd they individually...

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    Yes, if the reader lacks understanding when reading them. The passage is clear, but not on a stand alone basis and viewed as such.. Scripture must be linked to other corresponding or related scripture so one can get the complete understanding of the message.

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    You said it, "the passage". What about the myriad of other passages that say additional things are required? As I said, belief only is unscriptural as it negates other passages that state otherwise. You just confirmed what I (and the Bible) stated.

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    Belief only? That negates many scriptures that say more than just belief is required. Belief only is a false, unscriptural, and dangerous doctrine that will not save your soul.

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    How does the bible say we are born again? How does this happen and at what point? And the kingdom is here now on the earth. How do you become part of the kingdom? And fyi, no one ever said the water itself does anything. Its not the water, it's obedience! Read the OT account of Naaman who had to...

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    So where in the bible does it say how that happens? What is the process by which you're saved by spiritual baptism? John baptized in the Jordan river which was a precursor for baptism into Christ. Both are the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, except John's wasn't a baptism into...

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    One faith one Lord one baptism, so which one is it? ? And how does it happen according to scripture??

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    Oh, really? I'm shocked!! So, which one is it, since there's only one according to scripture, and exactly how does that happen, according to scripture??

    WHO IS IT THAT DWELLS IN GOD?

    Why wouldn't I think that? It's what the bible says! And why wouldn't anyone else? 1 Peter 3:21 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ...
