    The Righteousness of God

    'And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.' (Matthew 13:58) Hello @stunnedbygrace, Thank you, yes, even one who has the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and is saved by grace, can give lip service to the Word of God and yet fail to enter into it's teaching because of...

    The Righteousness of God

    ---------------------------------- Hello @stunned by grace, I simply want to know the Scriptures that led @Episkopos to believe that our 'walk' would be accompanied by 'signs and wonders', as spoken of by Episkopos in reply #165. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

    The Righteousness of God

    Thank you @Hidden In Him, I am having a blessed day, for I am thinking on God's Word, and that always brings blessing, doesn't it? :) I agree that we are to 'walk in newness of life', as those who have been saved by God's grace, 'walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit'; 'by faith and...

    The Righteousness of God

    Hi @Episkopos, In regard to your last sentence (highlighted). Would you please explain what you mean by the words, 'and to enter into Zion in Christ'. What Scriptures are you basing these words on, for me to read and understand your reasoning? Also, why do you believe that 'walking as Jesus...

    The Righteousness of God

    Hello @Episkopos, Thankfully we have what is written in Ephesians 4:13-16 to comfort us in that regard, don't we? 'Till we all come in the unity of the faith, .. and of the knowledge of the Son of God, .... unto a perfect man, ...... unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of...

    The Righteousness of God

    Hello @Episkopos, Thank you for responding to me. You have quoted from Philippians 1:27, and Luke 13:24 to prove the necessity for striving on our part, and I have no problem with either, for in Philippians 1:27 we are told to 'strive together' (though what for?) - 'for the faith of the...

    The Righteousness of God

    Hello @Episkopos, You have put me on 'ignore' so you won't receive this, but I praise God that His work is indeed 'Finished'. There is no 'striving' on our part required, only the necessity to believe what God has said, and rejoice in it. In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    'Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hello BreadOfLife, I am glad to hear that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that it is believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God that saves. However, I believe that the good works you have listed though they should accompany salvation, are not a requisite for salvation itself: which...

    'And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak...

    Hello @Nondenom40, 'The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be made...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hello @BreadOfLife, Forgive me for stepping in here instead of @Nondenom40, but I want to consider what is said here too. * Looking back at the climax of the words given through Peter, to see what caused them to be, 'pricked in their heart':- 'Therefore let all the house of Israel know...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hi @JPPT1974, Believing God concerning His Son the Lord Jesus Christ is what it is all about yes! Praise God! :) You have expressed what water baptism means to you, and I thank you for that: but what does baptism mean according to the Scriptures? Is it what God requires of us? In Christ...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hi @farouk, Yes, it is. It is also open to misuse though isn't it? For it obviously speaks of those who have not heard the gospel of God concerning His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ: and who, though not having heard, obey the law of conscience within them, and seek to live in a manner which is...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hello @Ernest T. Bass, * The commission of Matthew 29:19-20 is not the same as that of Mark 16, as the description of it's setting, and the wording of it will show. * The water baptism of John the baptist, would have been understood by the Jew of that day, by what they knew from the Old...
