    Water Baptism:

    Water Baptism (in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins) is a sure way to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. To not confess Him is to deny Him. Jesus said, Mat 10:32, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    @Reggie Belafonte, Since you are ignoring the clear testimony of scripture, I will leave you to your opinion.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    I'm saying that words that come from the mouth of the Lord Jesus are the words of God, whether they have been written down or not. I recall at one time reading in Mexico a written prophecy that predicted the fires that have recently hit California; it predicted them exactly and they had not...

    The Righteousness of God

    To be justified is to be declared righteous. And it is impossible for God to lie. To be forgiven is to have your sins forgiven, which is, in a sense, to be declared righteous before God.

    The Righteousness of God

    I am saying that the Lord declares the ungodly person to be righteous according to this verse (Romans 4:5). In doing so, He calls those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). So the ungodly person is made righteous, by faith. If a righteous person commits an ungodly act, it...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Now, granted, Revelation 1:11 is found within God's word... However, up to that point, God's word had said nothing of the sort... And I would say that the words that come straight from the mouth of Jesus are God's word whether they are written down on paper or not.

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    So the following who are mentioned will be of mixed blood (like the Samaritans), in your opinion? Rev 7:4, And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Rev 7:5, Of the tribe of Juda...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    I never read the man's book. Everything I know about hell came from the Bible: and it is clear to me from reading that, that hell is a place of eternal torment.

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Gehenna, hell, and whatever else you want to call it is representative of the fate of the wicked in eternal punishment. The whole concept of gehenna makes my point quite nicely in fact. It was a heap of trash that was always burning; the fire never went out. This was an illustration that...

    The Righteousness of God

    I am pretty certain that those who are in Christ will be judged at a different judgment than will those who have not received Christ. The bema seat and the Great White Throne Judgment are two separate judgments; and they happen at different times in history. The bema seat takes place at the...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    1 John 4:4, Mark 3:27 (Jesus is the Omnipotent One). Evidence for your above statement, please.

    Commentary on Romans.

    Rom 5:20, Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Rom 5:21, That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:1, What shall we say then...

    The Righteousness of God

    Actually, you seem here to be saying that salvation is not through faith in Jesus Christ, but rather through the virtues that we exhibit in our lives. There may be a spiritually immature Christian, who has truly placed their faith in Jesus, who has not attained a very high degree of humility...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Again, it seems to me that you want me to just take your word for it, and not to be a Berean (Acts 17:10-11) about what you lay forth. The fact that I see the plain meaning of 1 Corinthians 2:13 and the hermeneutic that it teaches us to use, and you don't, is the reason why your "warnings" have...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    One instance of prosperity doctrine in the Bible is taught very clearly when you read 2 Corinthians 9:6 in its immediate context; while the more orthodox interpretation of that verse will come about when you compare it to Luke 8:11, utilizing the biblical hermeneutic of 1 Corinthians 2:13.

    Being honest:

    Why does the Lord wait until after we're dead to give us a life that is free from the practice of sin? What is He trying to teach us by allowing us to stay in bondage until we pass on into the next life? I am asking these as rhetorical questions; because of course I believe personally that He...

    The Righteousness of God

    If you truly have faith in Jesus, your identity in Christ is that you are righteous even when and if you blow it (Romans 4:5). This identity is secure through faith, and as long as you have faith it cannot be messed with. So then, since you are the righteousness of the Lord in Christ, now go...

    Water Baptism:

    My point is that water baptism can be a point of contact for faith. The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who receive baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, in Acts 2:28-39. Consider the following: Col 2:12, Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are...
