In Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The clause "each one of you be baptized" is...

2 Corinthians 4:3 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the...

Sounds like a lack of common sense on his part. That has never happened to me in over 30 years.

Speaking of communists. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/hundreds-communists-march-philadelphia-video/ Imagine what would have happened if they pulled this stunt 50 years ago. We tolerate too much garbage in America today!

You are not my judge and I don't give anyone false hope. I'm aware of all the IF's and warnings in Scripture. OSAS is true IF you are truly saved to begin with. Perseverance is a confirmation of that. The main problem I see is not a loss of salvation for genuine born again Christians but a false...

Actually, it was not hard for me at all but your mind is made up and your beliefs are fixed. I can see that.

A person who has been born again by the Spirit of God has been born again by incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23) and is a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and has become partakers of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4) How is that not a spiritual transformation?

Harris' address highlighted her campaign hot-button topics, which included key parts of the Democratic Party platform, such as eliminating voter ID to expand mail-in voting, banning assault rifles, protecting LGBTQ+ rights and restoring national access to abortion. :(

Based on your endless questions, it sounds to me like you are over thinking this and making all of this out to be much more complicated than it really is.

To be born again is to be "born from above" which is a spiritual transformation that could only come from above. Romans 8:16 - The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. In John 17:17, Jesus said, “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” So, Jesus...

Jesus points out the lifeless state of the church in Sardis - "..you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." (Revelation 3:1) This church may have had a name of being alive, but they were spiritually lifeless. In other words, the church was filled with unsaved people going through the...

There are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers mixed together within these various churches.

1 Peter 1:23 - having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.

Enough with the straw man arguments and slander. It's not about must walk in the light but will walk in the light if we truly are born of God. Only those who are saved/believers are in the light. Acts 26:18 - to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power...

Who said anything about simply believing "mental assent" that Jesus exists? Genuine believers trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and are in the light and walk in the light (Acts 26:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:4; 1 John 1:7) in contrast with those who merely...

I was not claiming to infallibly know the hearts of everyone in regard to determining who is giving mere lip service confession and who is genuinely confessing Christ. I was simply drawing a contrast between the two. Only God infallibly knows the hearts of all men. When it comes to the word of...

The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of...

Slander is still slander, regardless. Why are you so obsessed with conditions? It's not about faith + if but if confirms faith. Those who once professed to believe but later claim to no longer believe had a shallow, temporary belief that had no root. The "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is...
