Oh no....I said that's what I do.! :) John the Baptist did this and the disciples of Jesus too. I think it preserves the purpose of a public witness. Some people think baptism somehow confers mystical powers that save you. I don't. People can easily make mistakes by looking at just one verse...

I like Steve. I like good brothers! :)

Pastors and theologians...yeah. They are scholarly....well as scholarly as you can get when teaching error. But these men are no different than the Dispies on this forum and elsewhere. You know a Christian doctrinal position is good by looking at the fruit. AND by reading the bible. :) Just...

Another dishonest comment. Steve Gregg WAS a Dispensationalist teacher and elder in the most Dispie church in America. He makes a very good argument....and his approach is very Christian. You will know then by their fruit. Steve's doctrine is very good. Look at his behaviour. Now look at...

I'm saying the doctrine does this....not individual people. I judge the doctrine not the person. People get victimized by doctrines...because they lack understanding. Dispensationalism was created by a man called Darby in the 1800's. Messianic Jews fully embrace Darbyism...because it favours...

Sure. But Paul said with food and raiment he would be satisfied. Of course money can buy those things. But Paul was not focused on money ... unlike so many "ministers" today.

How do you know what I do. Why accuse?

Teaching is another matter. Not everyone is going to teach. Teachers are held to a higher standard. When I say the flesh I am mainly speaking of the power of the flesh...the works of the flesh....the carnal man. The body can be holy. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. There is a big...

It is sound doctrine to baptize newly converted believers. Why? To me a public confession of Jesus before the world is a testimony of the decision to follow Christ. Like when Jesus said..."if you confess Me before men, then I will confess you before My Father". So then we baptize in a public...

....we keep them through His power. An OT sabbath keeping scheme is by the flesh. Walking IN the Sabbath rest is by the power of the Spirit. And not just 1 day a week.

Love does cast out all fears. But doctrinal fears abound. Not everyone will be able to put up with all the slithering flesh to be found on Christian forums. But if we have overcome our own slithering flesh...then perhaps we can be patient with others who have yet to do so. Well, at least...

If you hold to the same view as unbelieving Jews....you are a dispie. :)

Our cross: our effort to improve our walks in our own strength. His cross: His life in us...His effort...in a walk in His strength. Guess which one is according to grace....and which is according to law.

I have posted this video which I think is fair and balanced. I very much like this brother and his kindly approach. He actually acts like a brother. It's a bit long...but very worth the listen. Enjoy! :)

To you I'm sounding this way...because of your extreme position that honours the flesh. ;) Was Paul gnostic when he said...make no provision for the flesh? Gnosticism is embraced by Darbyists who believe in a saving knowledge that has no effect on this present life. I believe in an actual...

Paul said....the flesh profits nothing. All of his accomplishments and even his Jewish birthright...he counted as dung. Why? So that he could win Christ. Now this may sound very strange to you. So then what Paul counted as dung...people have grovelled over. Imagine what kind of beggary one...

can't say that is the answer... The law of righteousness is the law of God. The holiness and temple laws pertaining to holiness are passed away....by the coming of Christ and the ability to walk in HIS life and holiness. So then Jesus Christ IS the fulfillment of the holiness laws...in His...

God is love. The law of God is to love. The rest, as they say, is details...:):p

Well, if the words of Jesus are not for the Gentiles....us... then we can party down with an easy gospel that requires no obedience at all. The enemy doesn't want for anyone to take Jesus at His words. He would rather lead us (of the nations) to think Paul is saying something VERY different in...

Unbelief does not inherit the kingdom of God. Israel are they who overcome by faith. Israel is not just a natural nation....but also a church (congregation) of the nations. First the natural....then the spiritual. God lays it out to Jacob in Genesis. (Gen. 35:11) Literally....."a nation AND...
