    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 Do you believe a unsaved person must confess Jesus as Lord to become saved?

    Believe in Christ and Be Saved ?

    Yes believing without obeying is what falls short. The demons “believe” There is one God, but they continue to obey Satan. Of course, these were demons James was referring to, and not humans. In verse 13 these did believe and were saved. The reason they were saved is because they were...

    Believe in Christ and Be Saved ?

    Yes, we see this word used here in verse 13, whereby these on ground did in fact believe (G4100) but only for a while. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Luke 8:13

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

    ‘Great thread topic. 1 Corinthians 12:13 is describing how we come to be in Christ; joined to Christ whereby we are one spirit with Him, thus we are joined to the Spirit of (eternal) life in Christ. The Spirit baptizes us into Christ. This is how we are born again; born of the Spirit. Water...

    Faith alone

    When we take a closer look at the word "works" in James, we see the principle of faith that Paul taught throughout the book of Romans. Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? James 2:21 The "work" that Abraham did was to obey the "word"...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Satan as a fallen angel was cast out of heaven with his angels, which is one third of the angels. And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    What other angel would say was fallen from heaven? Satan is that angel. He was Lucifier the shining one, then he because Satan, the adversary. It's not that hard. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    ‘Jesus Christ is LORD; YHWH the LORD God of Israel. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    ‘This of course is false. The Lord Jesus spoke through the mouth of the prophets in the Old Testament as YHWH. The Spirit of the LORD God is the Spirit of Christ. Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you...

    What Does 'Surely Die' Mean?

    ‘It means spiritually dead. Adam and Eve did not physically die. And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins. Ephesians 2:1 We weren’t physically dead, but spiritually dead. Jesus did not make people who already alive, physically alive, but spiritually alive.

    CAN YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES?

    ‘Here is my scripture about that. And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Here is what the scriptures teach us. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. 1 Timothy 3:16

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Here’s what I said - Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luke 8:12 lest they should believe and be saved. The condition for an unsaved person to become saved is to believe.
