    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Yes Sir! But not inherently.

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Danthemailman needs more learning on Biblical repentance. He thinks because you change your mind to believe that is the change of mind in repentance. So, if I decide to go to the grocery but then change my mind that's repentance. Apparently changing your mind is repentance to Danthemailman...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Both Holy Spirit and water baptism are spiritual. Ephesians 4:5 is water. Matthew 28:19 Jesus commands His disciples to do the baptizing. Holy Spirit baptism is done directly by God. Water baptism is done by a man baptizing another man.

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Why Total depravity i.e. inherited sin of Adam is false doctrine. We can have faith in God without a miracle first worked on us by receiving Holy Spirit baptism. God has blessed us with the gift to believe in God. Everyone has this ability. If it can be shown that the unsaved are capable of...

    YOU ARE NOT READING WHAT I WROTE!!! Go back and reread please. YOU ARE PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH! I do not believe those who do not obey the gospel can be saved. For crying out loud! I still love you. I'm not perfect either.

    What it proves is the lost can do godly things. Calvinism teaches you can do nothing godly but only desire to do sin.

    My whole point was THEY ARE NOT SAVED YET THE DO THE WILL OF GOD! How can they be totally depraved?

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    I believe every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, Matthew 4:4 God knows everything. That does not means everything is determinism. I go to a movie. Next day I go to same movie with friends. I already know what is going to happen to the characters in the movie. That does not mean I...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    If you agree we are saved by works, then it cannot be by faith alone. Faith is not a miraculous gift that God blesses us with by direct miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit. We don't need a miracle to believe because we are not born with a totally depraved sinful nature. God gives us gifts...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    The law Paul is teaching in chapter 10 is the law of Moses. It is the old covenant, testament law. Ni one can be saved by it. Paul teaches we are saved by Jesus' new law, His will and testament, Romans 1:16. Right in Romans 10: 9-10 Paul teaches a work of faith that is an essential requirement...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Are you implying that remission of sins is not for salvation? Because we cannot be justified without remission of sins. Matthew 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Repent and let every one of...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    We are not born in sin. You base your interpretation off of a false premise. Words don't have any real meaning taken out of context. The message being given defines the meaning of the words used by the author. If all men inherited a sinful, depraved nature and guilt of sin like any other man...

    Scott Downey, post: 1230707, member: 14632"]People are born again of God, the regeneration and washing of the Holy Spirit, according to His mercy, not by righteous works, then they confess Christ as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead Titus response: People are saved before faith...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    If siiners are really justified by grace through faith plus nothing, then you just added repentance to faith alone. You cannot have Grace alone, faith alone, repentance added to faith alone AND IT ALL BE ALONE(EXCLUDED). Repentance is not belief. And faith is not repentance. Biblical...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    What everyone needs to learn about verses that only mention faith. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Is this salvation by faith and everything else excluded? If so where is...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Please explain Paul still being in his sins 3 days after he believed in Christ? Please explain Paul believing and not getting the Holy Spirit the moment he believed? Explain why he got HS baptism three days later after faith. Explain Paul having his sins washed away 3 days later not the moment...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Hello, you are correct on many accounts. How can you say the church bears no name? The founder of the church is its identity. The founder is the builder The founder is the Head of His church. Matthew 16:18-19 The church has been named, Ephesians 3:15 From whom the whole family in heaven and...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Danthemailman, we are saved by works! It is impossible to be saved without works. Your gospel goes against God. Do you think you can be saved without the works God does to save us? John 6:28-29 And they said to Him, what shall we do that we may work the works of God? Jesus answered and said to...
