'And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.' (Genesis 6:5) 'The face of the LORD is against them...

'Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is - one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all.' (Ephesians 4:3-6) Hi...

Hi there @farouk, I am not clever enough I'm afraid. :)

Hi,@jshiii, No, I don't want to debate this subject personally. If I were you I would cook that lovely trout, and eat it, praising God for His provision, and for the grace of God in which you stand, in Christ Jesus. :)

Hi @farouk, I started this thread to try to prevent another thread from being derailed by giving a space where this subject could be discussed separately. So, no, it has not developed as I hoped, and those derailing the thread in question have not taken advantage of this opportunity, but...

You know what helped me to identify with Christ was first; a revelation of the indwelling Christ, but that is really a beginning of being taught, but it leads to knowing and learning the scriptures. Learning there is only two of everything, such as; lifes. There is the first life we had which...

Hello @Ezra, You misunderstand my reason for sending you a link. It is not a link to anything other than a thread on this forum created for you to discuss the subject of water baptism that you are engaged in with @Breadof Life, thereby not derailing this one. I have no reason to seek to...

Hi @CNKW3, If you read the OP, I give my reason for starting this thread, and it was not for my benefit. I have no issue with this subject, having researched it thoroughly. So your questions should not be addressed to me, but to those who feel the need to ask the question in the subject...

I see, @stunnedbygrace, Thank you Within the love of Christ our Saviour Chris

Hello @stunnedbygrace, I do not wish to cause you problems, far from it. There is no need to question what I have said, or why. Neither am I 'pushing against God' as you say. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, With respect, @stunnedbygrace, does this not come under the heading of 'Conjecture', or of personal opinion? Not a belief formed on the basis of the testimony of Scripture itself? With love in Christ Jesus Chris

'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' (2 Timothy 2:15) Hello there, Faith is just believing that what God says, He will assuredly do. However, though all Scripture is FOR us, not all is ABOUT us. If I pick up...

Hi @stunnedbygrace, I can understand that you can have the germ of a thought concerning this in your mind that needs to find fuller expression, but it is good to express it. In Christ Jesus Chris

'One Lord, one faith, one baptism,' (Eph 4:5) Hi @CNKW3, The question is not mine, for I have no doubt that water baptism ceased to be a requirement when Israel went away into blindness at the end of the Acts period, during which time two baptisms ran together (water and spirit): but in...

'I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.' (Galatians 2:20) 'If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are...

@Ezra @BreadOfLife Please see link:- Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

In another thread, the subject of water baptism has intervened into the subject of the thread, and threatens to divert (The Hope Of The World). This subject can be a contentious one, but I hope it can be approached with love on all sides. On the side of the necessity for water baptism for...

Hello @soul man, Yes, the Lord woke me up to my need of a Saviour, in a 'Youth For Christ' rally in the local Town Hall. I was just twelve years old, and remember walking home in the dark, with a sky full of stars, my eyes riveted to one particular star that I convinced myself was moving along...

'For God so loved the world, .. that He gave His only begotten Son, .... that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, ...... but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; .. but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on...
