There is only one baptism that places us into the body of Christ and that is Spirit baptism, not water baptism. Ephesians 4:5 - one Lord, one faith, one baptism. 1 Corinthians 12:13 - For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and...

Amen! That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow works-salvationists to place their faith in Jesus Christ as the ALL-SUFFICIENT means of...

The faith is in Christ alone for salvation. It's all about Christ and not about us. Jesus Christ receives 100% credit for man's salvation. Common argument made by works-salvationists. The Bible clearly states in many passages of scripture that we are saved through belief/faith "apart from...

What games? I gave you a clear and concise explanation and backed up my arguments with Scripture. Look in the mirror. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, (shown to be righteous) and not by an empty profession of faith/dead faith that remains alone - "barren of works." (James...

I was thinking train wreck, but circus is also a good description.

I often hear works-salvationists misinterpret Romans 10:9,10 in such a way that means we can believe unto righteousness today, but are still lost until we confess Christ, which may be next week and then we are finally saved next week, but that is not what Paul is talking about here. Also...

James is not using the word "justified" here to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as...

In Philippians 2:12, we are to "work out" our salvation and not work "for" our salvation. Works salvation is not being taught here in contradiction with Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9. The idea is to progress to the finish or completion in spiritual growth and maturity in the process of ongoing...

Salvation is not probation. Eternal life is not temporary life. Jesus is the door. He is not a revolving door.

After everything I explained you still just don't get it. "You don't hold to your religions teaching only when it fits your biases" is the epitome of irony. The apostles believed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God and were saved (Matthew 16:16; John 20:31) and through progressive...

Of course repentance is required for salvation. If we don't repent (change our mind) then we will not believe the gospel. For someone to say that they truly believe the gospel, but they never repented is an OXYMORON. For someone to say that they truly repented, but they don't believe the gospel...

There is a difference between having a temporary, hardened heart toward believing the eye witness testimony of those who had seen Jesus after He had risen (Mark 16:14) and having a hardened heart that causes you to depart from the living God in the time of testing, during the rebellion, as we...

1 Corinthians 15:1,2 - Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. To believe in vain is to believe without...

Amen! James is not using the word "justified" in James 2:24 to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being...

Ephesians 4:18 - being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; 19 and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with...

They did not believe at first and this saying was hid from them. (Luke 18:31-34) Peter did not believe it at first and even rebuked the Lord for saying He would be killed, and be raised the third day. (Matthew 16:21-22) Prior to the cross, Peter did however believe that Jesus was the Christ, the...

Folks need to understand that James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as righteous with God. (Romans 4:2-3) Man is saved through faith and not by works...
