    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    Your watered-down gospel is a mess. You would walk around mountains of grace in order to find water. You can't get past the second half of Mark 16:16 or the nine verses in the book of John that I previously cited, not to mention numerous verses in general throughout scripture which make it clear...

    No Condemnation For Those In Christ, But... Sinning Believers Are Condemned Ro 14:23?

    In John 10:27-28, we read - My sheep hear My voice, (not some of them hear His voice and some of them don't hear His voice) and I know them, (not some of them He knows and some of them He doesn't know) and they follow Me. (not some of them follow Him and some of them don't follow Him) And I give...

    No Condemnation For Those In Christ, But... Sinning Believers Are Condemned Ro 14:23?

    I don't see 1 John 2:28 as a warning to genuine, born-again Christians, but a confirmation of who truly are God's children. How about a little context. In 1 John 2:24, we read - As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in...

    No Condemnation For Those In Christ, But... Sinning Believers Are Condemned Ro 14:23?

    Romans 14:22-23 is certainly not the unpardonable sin. Other translations (vs 22) say - Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves/doesn’t feel guilty for what they do. Condemn here means condemns or judges themselves. Not condemned by God in hell. It's disturbing to see...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    Water baptism is in regard to/on the basis of remission of sins received upon repentance (changing one's mind) and the new direction of this change of mind is choosing to place one's faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. (Acts 3:19; 10:43; 11:17,18; 15:7-9; 20:21) Water baptism DOES NOT...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    You based your doctrine on one half of one verse and ignored the second half of the verse which clarifies the first clause. You also ignored multiple verses in the book of John in which Jesus connects salvation/receiving eternal life with believing in Him "apart from water baptism." Your bias...

    No Condemnation For Those In Christ, But... Sinning Believers Are Condemned Ro 14:23?

    The superficial contradiction is resolved in Romans 14:22. Self condemned/pass judgment on himself does not mean condemned in hell. Also, only genuine believers are in Christ and will remain in Christ, unlike make believers who are merely self-attached to Christ.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Keep in mind this is a parable. You need to go back and thoroughly read post #22 again. Our sin debt is too large to pay back, yet the Lord is going to sell us, along with our wife and kids to pay it back? Now explain to me exactly how tthat fits with us? Now if we just beg and plead with the...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    Another example of eisegesis and flawed hermeneutics on your part. Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    I did not skip Acts and I actually cited multiple verses from the book of Acts in post #62. You need to learn how to properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine. Instead, you prefer to isolate pet verses, build your biased doctrine on them (resulting...

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    In regard to the parable of the unforgiving servant, the picture illustrates God's total forgiveness when dealing with our sins at the cross. Our debt has been paid in full by Jesus. In Matthew 18:28, where the same servant is unwilling to forgive his fellow servant such a small debt of a...

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    The god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of those who do not believe the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:3,4) by refusing to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

    Obeying Acts 2:38 is the only plan of salvation

    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...

    The Modern Gospel

    Acts 20:28 - Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock...

    The Modern Gospel

    Romans 4:5 - But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works. Romans 4:11 - And he received the sign of...
