Not what face to face means

1st of all, to become a Christian has nothing whatsoever to do with claiming to be or "identifying" as one. Secondly, he really wasn't a Christian by doing what you described, namely, believing and "confessing with his mouth unto salvation", because that scripture. Rom 10:9, doesn't constitute...

What exactly is an "Ex Christian"? You must first be able to define what a Christian is and how one becomes a Christian. So, what is a Christian and how does one become a Christian?

Explain. I understand 1 cor perfectly and correctly

How so? Truth is always contrary to untruth which in essence is division. Truth should and does cause division.

Here's an excerpt from something I've posted previously here and elsewhere that should shed light on this topic, that addresses spiritual gifts. And yes. there's an obvious lack of understanding and misinterpretation of what is meant by "that which is perfect" which this covers as well. REPOST...

What are you trying to do? What is the point by this posting? If one says this it does nothing.

Trinity TRANSLATIONS -- - - . Translations is the key word. Once again, scripture does not contradict itself.

Scripture does NOT contradict itself and must be looked at cumulatively. You cannot extract one passage only and found a belief upon it, but rather, you must take all pertinent scriptures to ascertain in total what they say cumulatively.

Just for clarification for you, yes, it's Christ's blood, but where does one contact the saving blood of Christ? It's by being baptized into his body. Read Romans 6 carefully. We're baptized into his death and it's at his death that his blood was shed. Also, you're not understanding he thief...

You're not understanding the difference in John's baptism vs baptism into Christ and that there is a difference. John's baptism was identical to the baptism noted in Acts 2:38. John's Baptism was stated as the baptism of repentance for the remission of sin. This is in essence the same as Acts...

Paul was told to be baptized calling on the name of the Lord. And Jesus said belief and baptism is necessary for salvation. Acts 22:16 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye...

You can't be born again and be Christ's if you're in sin and the only way to remove sin is by water immersion, baptism. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the...

You're NOT saved until you've been baptized according to scripture. Until you're baptized, you're still in sin.

You obviously don't understand what being converted means. What does it mean? You're NOT converted until you've been saved. And what does that mean? It means your sins have been forgiven and you are the Lords. And how does that happen according to scripture? Read Acts 2:38-47. Upon belief and...

Just FYI, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, or in the name of Jesus Christ simply means by the authority of, not that you must recite their names at the time of immersion. If one believes and confesses their belief as did the Ethiopian eunuch which is consistent...

Yes, they were speaking in tongues: Why, what was the purpose of the unconverted Gentiles speaking in tongues, and why were they then immediately baptized?

Yep, I'm sure he did. That's our job, to teach and convert others but that has nothing to do with the statement that baptism is simply a ritual for demonstration.

A ritual for the purpose of demonstration? That's nonsense! When the Ethiopian eunuch was converted as recorded in Acts 8, it was in the middle of nowhere with just he and Philip there.

That's really not the case. In Acts 2 and 10, the Holy Spirit FELL as a manifestation of the Spirit unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands, and as a sign from above that what was occurring was the will of God. In both cases, the church was started first in Jerusalem amongst...
