I watched WKRP in Cincinnati back in the day and I remember the turkey episode. :Laughingoutloud:

Yes, Peter commanded the Gentiles to be baptized in water AFTER they believed, received the gift of the Holy Spirit and were saved. (Acts 10:43-47)

Ouch indeed! I'm running for the tall grass as we speak. :funlaugh2

For someone to automatically read "baptism" into John 3:5 simply because it mentions "water" is unwarranted.

Making up names? Regardless of what name is on the front of a church building, what truly matters is whether or not people who meet in that church building are a part of the universal church, the body of Christ. (Colossians 1:18,24) The pastor of my church doesnt hesitate to stress the...

Baptism is a symbol of salvation in that it pictures Christ's death, burial and resurrection and our identification with Him in these experiences. In reality, believers are literally saved by what baptism symbolizes--Christ's death, burial and resurrection. In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter tells us that...

Salvation is signified but is not procured in water baptism. Believers have been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever. (1 Peter 1:23)

Yes, Jesus points out the lifeless state of the church in Sardis - "..you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." This church may have had a name of being alive, but they were spiritually lifeless. Here we see a stark contrast between its outward appearance and inward reality. Jesus'...

The emphasis absolutely must be on doctrine yet you are still hung up on names as demonstrated by your posts. You have the audacity to judge me as not being in the body of Christ yet who are you to judge me? That judgment call is well above your pay grade! Only the Lord can infallibly judge the...

That's exactly where the search led me. (John 3:16-18; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 4:12) ✝️

That sounds like it was quite a journey for you. There are many false religions out there that focus more on self and on rituals rather than on Christ. For me I was born and raised in the Roman Catholic church and by the time I reached 17-18 years old I began to question Roman Catholic doctrine...

I was simply clarifying since you place such a heavy emphasis on the name "church of Christ."

Do you need further proof that my church is non-denominational? Regardless, whether you choose to label my church as non-denominational or Baptist makes no difference to me. As long as it's a Bible believing church with solid doctrine (which it is). Praise God! I agree that calling...

Your debating practices resemble a cunning lawyer. You are always looking for an indictment. Whatever it takes! False. I did not lie to you. There it is! That is the sales pitch I remember from the so called church of Christ that I attended several years ago. I have nothing to repent of...

I already explained this. Now faith is the root of salvation and obedience/works which "follow" is the fruit. No fruit at all would demonstrate there is no root. Faith is faith and obedience which "follows" is works.

In James 2:14 we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So, when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against an empty profession of...

Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-24) *Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our...
