John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Acts 4:4 - However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five...

Amen! Christ's finished work of redemption is sufficient and complete to save believers. (Romans 3:24-28) No supplements needed. :vgood:

I have read it and Abraham was before the law of Moses. According to God's word, Abraham was called by God to leave his home and travel to a new land that God would show him. Abraham obeyed God’s command and left his home. God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations and...

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. So much for mere paper, ink and human intelligence. ;)

You are in denial. It sounds to me like you fall into the paper, ink and human intelligence (minus the Holy Spirit) category. The "you" is to the church of the Thessalonians (vs. 1). For our gospel did not come to "you" in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much...

I once heard someone basically say that the only thing involved in coming to saving faith in Christ is paper, ink and human intelligence as if they mustered up faith within themselves apart from God drawing and enabling them to believe. (John 6:44,65) Luke says “the Lord opened Lydia’s heart to...

Now although God's rest on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3) did foreshadow a future sabbath law, there is no Biblical record of the sabbath being kept before the children of Israel left the land of Egypt. *Nowhere in Scripture is there any hint that sabbath keeping was practiced from Adam to Moses...

Every time I post something from a right leaning/conservative news source, whether Gateway Pundit, Fox News, One America News, Newsmax etc.. there is always somebody calling it a far-right fake news source that cannot be trusted. I don't trust the MSM at all and I don't even need the news to see...

That's it for justification. Going further after one is saved is in regard to ongoing sanctification.

Yes. Saving belief trusts 100% in Jesus Christ for salvation. It's not faith in Jesus Christ + works or faith in Jesus Christ + something else but faith in Jesus Christ alone. (John 3:18; 1 John 5:11-13)

It's not about how much information do I know about God that I have placed my faith in for salvation. My answer to the question I asked you in post #143 would be because you (Jesus Christ) died for my sins, were buried and rose from the dead on the third day to provide for me eternal life. I...

Certain people may actually start out believing in Jesus like they would believe in a politician (based on their initial misconceptions and expectations) then later find out that Jesus does not line up with their original expectations, just like these disciples in John 6:53-66 who initially set...

Please describe what constitutes "became a believer." What exactly did you come to believe that confirmed you as a believer that you previously did not believe? If you were standing at the gates of heaven right now and Jesus Christ asked you why He should let you into heaven, what would be your...

Is a believer described as devil? (John 6:70) Jesus did not say stopped believing but did not believe in John 6:64. Jesus knew the heart of Judas. In John 13:10-11, we read - Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all...

John 6:64 - But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. John 6:70 - Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of...

Romans 8:16 - The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.

Glorification. Hence, and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Amen! Romans 8:30 - Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. *ALL of them. *Notice how Paul uses the past tense for a future event to stress its certainty. :)
