The verisimilitude of this intervention is compelling.

Some ppl do prefer to have it done at a tattoo parlor rather than at a mall kiosk.

...but everyone is not saved..... o_O

I think our friend (I don't want to put words in his mouth) may mean that not everyone's sins everywhere have been put away and that supposedly everyone in the world is automatically saved. It's through faith that God works out His purposes, in the redemption He has planned and accomplished. A...

I can see what you mean in terms of context and applying the effectual work of Christ at the cross to those who believe, indeed. I do still think that John 3.16 is a glorious verse which can be used wonderfully in proclaiming the Gospel.

@ShyIntrovert It's indeed not for everyone. But I wouldn't say that because these young ladies have gotten some Bible verse ink it therefore supposedly proves that they are not genuine believers. pinterest

@TLHKAJ Good advice indeed....

Legalism may seem like an attractive, instant solution; but the fact is on many matters in the Christian life people are likely to have various ideas; and the Romans 14 passage on Christian liberty implies that this indeed will be the case.

@ShyIntrovert I guess attitudes may differ from one part of the world to another; this is from the Bible Belt in the US: QueenCat said: forums dot thewelltrainedmind dot com

Mark 16.16 does not say that it is the waters of baptism that cause one to become regenerated. Indeed, in Acts 2.41 it is clear that those who gladly believed his word were baptized because they believed, not supposedly in order to believe.

@Ronald Nolette John 3 and the new birth tie in indeed with John's First Epistle and walking in the light.

Perhaps in the long term in the context of the gatherings of those who like the early believers practise Acts 2.42. (Remembering of course that the primary aim of gathering is to honour the Lord and encourage His people and feed on His Word and seek the prosperity of the Gospel message.)

@Ronald Nolette One can well imagine that there are young believers who may even be shy and modest who have gotten something done wholesomely as a witness opportunity: tattoo hyphen awe dot blogspot dot com (It doesn't stop the legalists from trying to give them a hard time, mind you.)

@Ronald Nolette The whole armour of God passage in Ephesians 6 comes to mind, indeed.

@Ronald Nolette In the end the actual text of Hebrews does not say it was Paul who wrote the Epistle, so we can't be dogmatic that he did, even though tradition suggests he did.

@Ronald Nolette I guess it's really a Romans 14 sort of matter: some young men and women might feel strongly not to want to get a Bible verse tattooed and others may strongly be motivated to use a Bible verse tattoo as a witness tool and go confidently to the parlor accordingly. (If this makes...
