    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Nope, not talking about salvation from sin....Let's try this again. Salvation is the deliverance from the power and effects of sin. Innocents have been delivered from the power and effects of sin thru grace. You and I are delivered from the power and effects of sin thru "cleansing"...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Ummmm.....I have!! Infants and mentally challenged people have no accountability. You and I do. They obtain salvation thru grace. We obtain it thru "cleansing" (aka forgiveness). Hope that makes it clear for you.....

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Thank you BG.....I appreciate your input. You are a joy to hear from and have given me good advise in the past. I agree with you that Coreissue and I are saying the same thing differently. However, @CoreIssue said Salvation means one is cleansed from sin one is responsible for. That is NOT...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    A innocent can not be held accountable for sin. They still obtain salvation even though they have no accountability. Innocents have been held from the power and effects of sin thru grace.

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Sooooo innocents do obtain salvation......Why are you playing a word game with me?? I'm guessing because you have YOUR definition of salvation.... definition of salvation: deliverance from the power and effects of sin Hence innocents have been delivered from the power/effects of sin...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    I guess I should be more clear so we are both on the same page. Can/will an "innocent" go to heaven? Mary

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Sooooo an innocent can not obtain salvation because they had no sins to forgive????? (I think that is what you are saying)

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    The physical Church hierarchy has been around since the Apostles and the first example of it was the Council of Jerusalem. Sooooo I agree with you: "Catholicism invented the claimed need for a physical church hierarchy" and they did it with their first Pope who was at the Council ;) Who taught...

    Should I be rebaptised?

    Dear, dear Stranger, You said that Baptism is real only if it is in accordance with God. You also stated that YOUR view of baptism is the view of Scripture. The only way you could KNOW if your view of baptism is in accordance with God is if God told you. Sooooo asking you a question to clarify...

    Should I be rebaptised?

    Hi Stranger, Sooooo let me see if I understand you correctly and I apologize in advance if I don't understand you. You are saying entire families would have been baptized but only the members that have the mental capacity to understand what they were told would be baptized. At what age does...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    Thank you coreissue. Help me better understand what you mean. What are the qualifications to be a born again Saint? I would like to know who they are so I can mirror their beliefs so I can be a born again saint and not be in a cult. The belief of no hierarchy beyond the local congregation...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    Hi Taken, I should have been more clear: Small children, persons with mental disabilities and persons who were never given the opportunity to believe (ex. lost tribes of the Amazon) will be saved hence my statement belief is not necessary for salvation. Hope that helps clear up any confusion...

    Christ vs the anti-Christ: Who is winning?

    I will go with your theory that the CC didn't not come into existence until the 4th century. What or who was The Church before the CC came into existence? What governing body decided the table of contents for the bible you quote from? Which church in existence today most closely resembles The...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    This is kind of like "Which came first; the chicken or the egg". Not all who don't believe will loose their salvation sooooo belief is not necessary for salvation. My two cents worth....Mary

    Should I be rebaptised?

    @Nancy likes it when you call your fellow Christians crazy....I feel sad for both of you and will pray that both of you obtain more grace and kindness....:( Ummmm.....If a baptism can be performed by any believer in Christ then that means I can perform baptisms. Sooooo if I choose to baptize a...
