What if he was a thief, and them came across Jesus and believed, and was baptized before going to jail? Doesn't that baptism count? You need to look at that thief's FRUIT. He had more faith than all the apostles put together, even asking a dying man to remember him when he comes into His...

You are mocking my "yelling." That's rude. Just trying to get people to think and not let themselves be spoon fed garbage doctrine. And they ARE from demons. You can tell by what he said that he had more faith than all the apostles put together. That's a Christian, and Christians get baptized...

Do you know the book and chapter at least?

That wasn't kind. Can't you recognize a doctrine of demons when you hear one? It's so easy to see as cast aside, unless you like them better than obedience. They will always produce defeat or disobedience or apathy towards the words of Jesus. In this case apathy towards obeying the command to be...

Okay, you lost me here. What parable are you talking about? I only mentioned the talents.

We can know who is a Christian by their fruit. Matthew 7. Christians are baptized. And his fruit was mature fruit, thus he's been a Christian for some time before they took him to jail.

I wrote this post because of the doctrine of demons emphatically claiming that the thief on the cross was not baptized, creating an apathetic approach to water baptism. That apathy is what makes it a doctrine of demons. First of all, baptism is not mentioned at all so the Word cannot be the...

So then you do not believe he was ever baptized in water before going to the cross?

Walking in the Spirit would certainly give a cup of water if one saw someone in need. That's love. And, yes, the levels of obedience still proves sinlessness. But not all needed obedience is revealed until more growth is seen. The "levels" is the major change I've learned most recently. But it...

If I did, I've changed my view since then, but just a little. I still believe that just knowing about Jesus is not enough; one must be born again of the Spirit. THEN starts the journey. So, it will either be your own will and knowledge of the commandments like the Jews...

Please give a reason for your answer. Carefully read the account in Luke 23. Luke 23: 32 There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the...

Glad to help.

Who is righteous except God? Of course, it is God's righteousness imputed to him.

It is found in Romans 4 and 5. Because Abraham obeyed God righteousness was imputed to him. David also. It also point to us.

I had thought it was only for Old Testament saints who trusted God without having the Spirit in them. But I now see it is for Christians also. What I disapprove of are the active sinners who claim to have the imputed righteousness of Christ. They are lying to themselves. Romans 6: 6 knowing...

Sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4. IOW, disobeying one of the moral Ten Commandments. Catholics refer to them as mortal sins. 1 John 5:16-17 refers to them as sins unto death. But it also refers to sins NOT unto death. Those are trespasses. IOW, immaturity of a fruit of the Spirit. Catholics refer...

I almost met her. I knew a stage actress in my home town and she was friends with Linda Darnell who lived in Chicago. Just before I was to meet her, Linda died in her apt. from a fire from her cigarette.

The "evidence" is being free from sin. That is what happens when we are born again of the Spirit. That is why Jesus said, we MUST be born again. Romans 6:6-22 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be...
