In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter tells us that baptism now saves you, yet when Peter uses this phrase he continues in the same sentence to explain exactly what he means by it. He said that baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh (that is, not as an outward, physical act which washes...

When I first became a Christian the first Christian church I attended was full of too many people who came across as judgmental, mean spirited and self righteous. After attending there for around 3 months, I remember turning to my wife during a sermon and stating to her, “Christian or not...

To believe in Jesus “unto salvation” is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) If you trust in Jesus Christ PLUS SOMETHING ELSE (water baptism, sabbath keeping, law keeping, works in general) for...

Oh the irony and I quoted former SDA’s who are no longer enemies of the gospel.

We are saved by grace through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) yet you teach salvation by grace through faith “and works” in contradiction to scripture. (Romans 4:5-6) Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the...

Amen! It’s so nice to see that somebody gets it. :)

SDA’s deal in so-called facts the same way crafty lawyers deal in so-called facts.

I have already given my reasons numerous times why SDA’s preach a false gospel but it always falls on deaf ears and there is a reason for that.

It’s all I need, but there is more. https://www.nonsda.org/study8.shtml Quick Intro to SDA Sabbatismos Ministries: Finding Our Rest in Christ - Adventism & the Gospel

“Through the Spirit, led by the Spirit and walk in the Spirit” still does not imply that we are passive or that we are sinless, without fault or defect, flawless 100% of the time. It's about the direction of our walk and not the perfection of our walk. Walking according to the Spirit is...

If you can’t see it in that statement then you need a whole new set of bifocals.

“The Holy Spirit teaches you all things” (John 14:26) does not mean that Christ accomplishes all works through us while we passively sit by like robots and do nothing. Notice in 1 Corinthians 3:14-15 that Paul says “if anyone’s work which he has built on itendures, he will receive a reward. If...

In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against an empty profession of...

You read the SDA gospel in post #1160 which equates to “salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works” and you said that you agree with it 200%.

If works contribute to obtaining salvation then there is merit on our part in accomplishing those works in order to receive eternal life. Either Christ’s finished work of redemption is sufficient and complete to save believers and He is an ALL-sufficient Savior or else we must “add” our works to...

Good works are the fruit, by-product and demonstrative evidence of authentic faith.

We are saved by faith that trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (Romans 4:5-6) and not by an empty profession of faith that demonstrates by the lack of works that it’s dead. (James 2:14)

Never mind. It’s obvious.

So now you’re resorting to slander. Why am I not surprised. Genuine believers/those who truly are born of God remain in Jesus Christ, unlike ‘pseudo’ Christians.

So your faith has been placed in your best efforts to obey the 10 Commandments for salvation instead of trusting in Jesus Christ as the all sufficient means of your salvation?
