Salvation by grace through faith, not works, (Ephesians 2:8,9) neither gives us a license to sin or a license to boast.

Keep telling yourself that. :rolleyes: Romans 1:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is not a false demonic gospel and you are not fooling me or any of my brothers and sisters in Christ on this site. Sadly, you remain thoroughly indoctrinated and blinded by the god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:3,4) :(

So those who trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 1:16) and do not of trust in being immersed in H20 as a supplementary means to their salvation are anti-Christ’s? Not hardly. Salvation is...

LOL! I previously asked you that question and it sounds like your answer is NO as well. ;)

What cop out? I answered the question. Previously you said: I just wanted to see if you believe that is a blanket statement and it does make a difference because not everyone in church history who has been water baptized was a genuine believer.

Nice cop out. ;) My answer to that question is an unequivocal NO.

You heard me, now quit stalling and answer the question. YES or NO.

If someone does not even believe in the existence of Jesus, then they would not seek to be immersed. Now YES or NO. EVERYONE throughout church history in every church that claims to be "Christian" who has been water baptized MUST have been a genuine believer?

Yes, really. That's two of many passages, but if you reject those two passages, then you will most likely reject the rest as well. How many passages do you need to understand that genuine born again believers trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and not in works?

Whoever does not believe is condemned. (John 3:18) *Nowhere does the Bible say that whoever is not water baptized will be condemned. In regards to the Scribes and Pharisees, in Luke 7:29, we read - When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God/acknowledged God's...

"From what you can tell" based on your biased opinion, but not in actuality. Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned...

Amen! Neither could I find that multi-step plan of salvation in scripture. I was recently in a discussion with someone on a different Christian forum who attends the church of Christ and he made this statement below: A person who has never heard the gospel: 1. Hears the gospel - still lost 2...

Hey, what happened to confession in your line up? Did you forget one? o_O So it's belief and faith in Christ + repentance? In that order? You don't seem to realize that repentance "precedes" belief/faith. Matthew 21:32 - For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not...

Scripture. Those who truly believe that salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works/believe the gospel by trusting in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation are genuine born again believers. (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 1:16)

I knew you wouldn't understand. (1 Corinthians 2:14) It's a real shame to see so much zeal wasted on UNBELIEF. (2 Corinthians 4:3,4) :(

I already explained your misinterpretation of those passages of Scripture and gave you the proper interpretation of those passages of Scripture in posts #402, #404, #422, #424 and elsewhere, but you have proven over and over again that you are not really hear to listen, but are only interested...

Not the Roman Catholic church, but the Church, the body of Christ, (Colossians 1:18,24) which is made up of all genuine, born again believers/Christians.

I never said there are no other verses that teach about water baptism, but after properly harmonizing Scripture with Scripture, believers can see that there are no passages of Scripture that unequivocally teach that we are saved through faith and water baptism (immersed in water or condemned)...

1 Corinthians 1:21: “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” 1 Corinthians 15:1: Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and...

It certainly will not. Luke 7:50: “And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” Luke 8:12: “Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.” John 1:12: “But as many as...
