You suggest that Paul decides what a heretical teaching is. You gave NOTHING to back up your theory. :( I understand that you are dead set in your perspective. You are right. It is VERY unlikly that I will listen to you. I would rather listen to the Church which is the pillar and foundation of...

I don't reject any passages. I take the entire Scripture into consideration. Those two passages from Scripture are not the ONLY passages that helps us identify the genuine born again believers. What does it profit if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Show me your faith...

Thank you. According to scripture (not your theory highlighted in blue) the division amongst men occurred because some men were teaching a different doctrine then what the Apostles taught. They did not hold to the sound doctrine that was taught by word of mouth, in the written letter or by...

I am not trying to entrap you but Scripture has

The Didache (written during NTC times) says this: But if thou hast neither, pour water three times on the head "in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." If it was good enough for the NTC it should be good enough for us.

Simply not true on both accounts. :( 1 Peter 3:21 and Acts 22:16 specifically say baptism saves and washes away sin. Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, Methodist and the Anglican/Episcopalians teach baptismal regeneration. There are many other local churches that teach it...
