Luk 6:22, Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Luk 6:23, Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the...

Not everyone believes in Jesus and what He did for them on the Cross. Those that truly do believe, have the Holy Spirit to guide them in doctrine.

My contention is that one of these groups doesn't hold the Bible to be the final authority. So, where they depart from the Bible and adhere to the doctrines of the church, they are in error.

The answer to my question is the answer to your question. Sincerely, @justbyfaith.

He came to abolish the enmity that the law creates between God and man, Ephesians 2:15-16 (kjv).

The word of the Lord is the standard by which we judge all teaching.

Yes, there are promises attached to the law; but the promises themselves are not law. Nope; for the promises in the Sermon on the Mount are not law, but promise.

The ones that have the Bible to back up their system of belief. For believing in Christ implies believing in what His word says. So if a group of people gathers together and doesn't believe the word of God, can they rightly call themselves believers, or the church?

Very good! And therefore what you said in post #52 does not negate anything that I have said in my replies.

Why does it have to be one of them? Every believer in Christ, as a corporate body, is the pillar and foundation of the truth. In context, the verse in question is referring to the body of Christ as it meets inside a building. btw, thanks for converting!

Why does it have to be one of them? I would say that every one of us who believes is the pillar and foundation of the truth; but in context, the scripture in question is referring to the body of Christ when it meets inside of a building.

Actually, He said, "I did not come to destroy the law or the prophets." He did come to abolish the law, Ephesians 2:15 (kjv).

The term and concept of "predestination" is a biblical term/concept...see Romans 8:29-30, Ephesians 1:4, Ephesians 1:11, 1 Peter 1:2. I think that I have to disagree with you there too...on the basis of Ephesians 2:1 and 2 Corinthians 5:14. However, Welcome to the boards! Don't let a little...

Nevertheless, it is clear in Genesis 15:6 that at that time Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, at that time.

No; I am claiming to be perfect by faith, Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), Jude 1:24 (kjv), 1 John 3:9 (kjv), 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv). See Romans 14:23. If whatsoever is not of faith is sin, then whatsoever is of faith is not sin. Therefore we will not sin if we consistently walk by faith, see 1...

And the church consists of all those who believe in Jesus and what He did for them on the Cross.

The church is the body of Christ...all those who place their faith in Christ and what He did for them on the Cross. And I would say that if it is up to the church to interpret scripture, that that is speaking of all of us. So, @Marymog, Am I to conclude that you believe that the Catholic...

Such grace! See 2 Timothy 2:1, Colossians 4:6. No one can keep the law perfectly, Galatians 3:22, Galatians 6:13. Not even in sheep's clothing. Obviously not a sheep. I see that this teaching is conducive to the mark of the Beast being received by many later on. For that mark will most...

I had already mentioned that; no need to be redundant.
