He that believeth not shall be damned...damnation has nothing to do with not being baptized. If they believe and are baptized they shall be saved...as opposed to the "should not perish" of John 3:16. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13.

You would think that if baptism were necessary for salvation, that the Lord would have sent Paul to baptize, not just to preach the gospel. What? He preached the gospel to them but stopped short of doing what it would take for them to enter the kingdom? That is preaching a message of...

When did the Roman believers get baptized in the book of Acts?

1 Corinthians 1:17.

We have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand (Romans 5:1-2)...then grace teaches us to live the life we are called to live (Titus 2:11-14)

Forgiveness through the blood of Christ means we as believers are set free from the condemnation of the law: (Romans 6:14, Romans 7:4, Romans 7:6, Galatians 2:19, Ephesians 2:15-16, Colossians 2:14, Hebrews 7:18-19). We are forgiven much (Romans 4:1-8; Psalms 25:11; Psalms 51:3, 1 John 1:9)...

Scriptures to consider: Matthew 13:41-42 Matthew 13:49-50 Matthew 25:46 Revelation 14:9-11 Revelation 20:10 Revelation 20:15 Romans 11:9-10 (Paul's teaching on the subject at hand; which is everlasting punishment). I believe that @Harvest 1874 is a JW if I'm not mistaken; and therefore...

I would use NT scripture anyway. If you are brandishing a sword against someone, and someone tells you, that sword isn't sharp...the best way to convince them that it is, isn't to argue with them about the sharpness of the sword; but to use it on them. See Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17.

Peeked in for a moment and saw an indictment on my character (after a season). Romans 16:17 says, Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

They were convicted by the Holy Spirit (Acts of the Apostles 2:37); which indicates that they were not believers (John 16:8-9).

Speaking in the 1st Person is merely a style of writing...don't be so quick to judge. PS you are not off of my ignore list, but I was reading through the thread and took you off for a second because I couldn't make sense of the entire thread without seeing your posts.

Romans 2:1-5, 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things...

Romans 1:26-32, For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is...

Except that it might be confusing since lie is a homonym of lie.

You're welcome.

I can if I want to; but as I said, I have a specific style in which I minister: that of concealing knowledge while at the same time dispersing it.

Yes it does. If anyone is hungry enough to look up the passages referenced, I have won the debate with them, if not with the other kind who look at things only at the surface level.

Even with that (even if that is so), there is an interpretation presented of the Corinthians passage that validates my interpretation of the passage in Acts.

The evidence is there for those who are hungry. I am not necessarily out to win an argument.

Spend more time reading the passages. re (primarily) #463.
