Hello brother and welcome to the Christianity Board! :)

Through your misinterpretation of scripture, you are teaching salvation by works. Bearing one another's burdens and so fulfilling the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2) is something Christians do BECAUSE they are saved and not to become saved. Works-salvationists tend to ignore "servants of obedience...

Galatians 6:2 says Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." We are not saved by grace plus law, faith plus works, but by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) Believers bear one another’s burden out of love and faith works through love (Galatians 5:6) and love...

Amen! In Acts 10:43 we read ..whoever believes in Him receives remission of sins. These Gentiles received the gift of the Holy Spirit - Acts 10:45 - when they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ - Acts 11:17 - (compare with Acts 16:31 - Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved)...

Another excellent post! :) We see that "water" is used in the Bible as an emblem of the Word of God, and in such uses it is associated with cleansing or washing. (John 15:3; Ephesians 5:26) When we are born again, the Holy Spirit begets new life, Divine life, so that we are said to become...

Amen! In James 2:19, we read that the demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God," but they do not believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and are not saved. (Acts 16:31) Their trust and...

Amen! In Luke 12:50, Jesus said - "But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished!" Of course Jesus was not distressed about water baptism, but being "immersed" into suffering, namely His sacrificial death on the cross.

Excellent post! :) In John 7:38-39, we read - "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the source of living water and spiritual cleansing. If "water" is arbitrarily defined as...

The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To "believe" the gospel is to trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of...

Brother Anderson (former member of the SDA church for 34 years) did mention (among other things) that Adventists have institutionalized deception and have a persecution complex. Bible Truth Versus Adventist Truth - Dangers of Seventh-day Adventism These websites have helped me to more deeply...

Man is saved by grace through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is substantiated, evidenced by works (James 2:14-24). Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of...

I'll take Bible truth over alleged SDA truth. ;) The Truth about the Seventh-day Adventist Church Quick Intro to SDA The Sabbath & Sunday A True Prophet?

So you are a Seventh Day Adventist? Just noticed the quote at the bottom of your post by EGW. :(

God saves us individually. "Whoever" believes in Him.. (John 3:16). Believers make up the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:13; Colossians 1:18,24). There are certain churches that teach false gospels, which will lead all of those to their doom, who strictly follow the teachings of those churches. But...

The best way to be certain is to believe in the name of the Son of God. Elsewhere, we see the same message. John 1:12 - But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

I read that a very common representation of the symbol is with a circle that goes through the three interconnected loops of the triquetra. The circle emphasises the unity of the whole combination of Three Persons. It is also said to symbolise God's love around the Holy Trinity. Christian use...

You really need to ask that question? o_O As pointed out in the article from the link I posted in post #115: The New Testament never describes the Sabbath as the one great issue that will divide the true believers from the false believers. If the Sabbath was indeed such a profound issue...

Yes, there are genuine Christians and there are "nominal" Christians. There are genuine believers and there are make believers on various Christian forums.

Galatians 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. :)

Thank you! :)
