I don't have any sons...although I think I may have the faith of Abraham to obtain some...I just don't think that my wife has the faith of Sarah...Hebrews 11:11. :eek::p:D:cool: PS if that was a typo then I expect that you will get around to correcting it...

So we are to disregard the New Testament? Because "Covenant" is synonymous with "Testament"...therefore the New Testament lays out for us the New Covenant...which is for Gentiles as well as Jews...Ephesians 3:6.

post #445 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience) (the latter end of which I responded to in post #447 (Believers stay righteous through their obedience)) doesn't appear to be addressed to anyone that is specified in the post (#445)...which is the reason why I asked if it was to me.

No, that is bad terminology. The word for it is sanctified wholly (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv)).

debate...Romans 1:29 (kjv), 2 Corinthians 12:20-21 (kjv).

You talking to me? I didn't pay one red cent for the free gift that was given to me. However, the gift given was righteousness (Romans 5:17); which, as it turns out, is a practical thing (1 John 3:7).

Baptism is for the remission of sins.

We ought to let the blind be leaders of the blind.

None of that changes any of what I said in post #74 (On How to be saved). Were any of those who received the Holy Ghost through the laying on of the apostles' hands unbaptized?

I believe that @Harvest 1874 is a JW if I'm not mistaken; and therefore his posts warrant the treatment that we are exhorted towards in Romans 16:17.

So people who lived in Old Testament times won't be in heaven? We are born again of the Holy Spirit; not of blood (John 1:13).

In the days of the New Testament church, baptism was the initiation into the faith of Christianity; and therefore, if you told them that getting baptized was the result of heresy (and that they wouldn't end up being saved because of it) because they weren't trusting in the finished work of...

The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised as a conditional promise in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39. It is the washing away of sins, however, Acts of the Apostles 22:16. It depends on what they mean by baptism. It is normally defined by those who say that it saves as an act of faith in...

Hitler walked in darkness in spite of the light that was given to him. It hails form the Old Testament, and is the OT foundation with Paul of New Testament belief about justification by faith. Abraham's seed, In Galatians, is those who are in Christ through faith in Christ. I say "is"...

Through faith of the operation of God (Colossians 2:11-12). See also 1 Peter 3:20-21. The latter part of the first verse indicates water baptism is what is being spoken of; the second verse indicates that baptism doth also now save us. I'm not certain why people are convinced that it is sound...

If you hold that these passages (the latter end of Mark 16, the first part of John 8, the latter half of Romans 8:1, Jesus' words in Luke 9:55-56, 1 John 5:7, etc.) are not a part of inspired scripture, beware lest you be judged as having taken away from the word of the Lord; and your part will...

2 Corinthians 5:17 speaks of the nature of those who are truly in Christ (born again). When Peter said that they believed and were sure that Jesus was the Christ, I don't think he was speaking for Judas: Jesus was correcting Peter in the next verse. So yes, I suppose that there are many who...

You talking to me? No; I did not suggest, nor am I suggesting, that in the slightest.

See also Acts of the Apostles 5:32.

Sanctification can be completed in this life (i.e. to be sanctified wholly). 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv), Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9 (kjv), 2 Peter 1:10 (kjv), 1 John 2:10, Jude 1:24 (kjv), Titus 2:14, Matthew 1:21, etc.
