Yes, John gives us confirmation in 1 John 3:19-24 how we can know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence. Now he who "keeps" (guards, observes, watches over) His commandments (descriptive of genuine believers) abide in Him, and He in him. And by this we...

That is what scripture teaches. Scripture must harmonize with scripture or else we have a contradiction. Luke 24:47 - and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. *What happened to baptism? Acts 3:19 - Repent therefore and be...

Like I said before, the laying on of hands prior to receiving the Holy Spirit in scripture is the exception and not the rule. Water baptism is neither the direct cause of receiving the Holy Spirit or the means by which we are saved. These Gentiles received remission of sins and the gift of the...

Believing on Him (Jesus) means we are believing on/in Him (trusting in Him) alone for salvation. You just demonstrated that you believe on/in your baptism for salvation and don't believe on/in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. In John 3:36, we read - He that believes on/in the Son has life...

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

It's called EISEGESIS - the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas. Works-salvationists (especially Roman Catholics) typically confuse the 3 tenses of salvation and the end result is salvation by works at the back door. The 3 tenses of salvation are: 1...

"Abide in Him" and "keep His commands" typically gets turned into salvation by works at the back door by works-salvationists through their eisegesis. The Greek word for "abide" is "meno" and simply means to remain, not to depart, to continue to be present...

Just the opposite and since you believe that ALL belief is the same "except for the lack of good works" and you cannot seem to grasp a deeper, more substantive aspect of faith which is believing/trusting exclusively in Jesus Christ for salvation, you instead, place your faith in water baptism +...

In the church of Christ, the 4-step plan of salvation goes like this: 1. Believe 2. Repent 3. Confess 4. Be baptized. Then after all 4 steps are accomplished in that order and ONLY after they are all accomplished, you are saved according to the church of Christ. How do you define "believe the...

Either we are trusting 100% in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation or else we are 100% lost. That is the narrow way. (John 3:15,16,18; 10:9; 14:6)

The Roman Catholic church clearly teaches salvation by faith AND WORKS.

The elitists at the top love socialism because they get the gold mine, and we get the shaft!

Excellent eye-opening sermon on the dangers of socialism with Venezuela mentioned as an example. The same tactics used to take down Venezuela are now being used to take down the U.S. Wake up America!

Notice that Paul said to "work out" your salvation and not "work for" your salvation in Philippians 2:12. When we "work out" at the gym, we exercise to develop our body that we already have and not in order to get a body. Farmers "work" the land, not in order to get the land, but to develop the...

Repent and believe the gospel precede water baptism. (Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:7-9) You reverse the scriptural order of repent and believe/believe the gospel/place faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. (Matthew 21:32; Mark 1:15; 20:21) In regard to Acts 19:1-5, in verse 2, their answer to...

Roman Catholics seem to teach that we are saved by grace through faith "infused" with works and then those works become meritorious towards receiving eternal life. That certainly is a "different" gospel.

Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption alone and not based on the merits of our works. (Romans 3:24-28; 4:5-6; Philippians 3:9)

Psalm 51:5 - Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Romans 5:12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. Ephesians 2:5 - even when we were dead in...

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 AL-sufficient means of...
