That's NOT what the scripture says. Baptism DOES save the believer. 1 Peter 3:21 KJV 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

The TRUE church can be replicated as it was in early NT times. By who's authority? God's! We're told in the Bible to make deciples of every nation. Any Christian can baptize and do exactly that. A baptized believer is a member of the Lord's body having been baptized into it and added to it by...

The word Easter in Acts 12:4 as an example and timely to note now. The Greek word is 'pascha' which is passover. The kjv is the only bible that "translated" this as Easter. The translators took it upon themselves to substitute Easter for passover.

Whatever. Do you have the kind of faith Jesus talked about, the kind that Stephen had? Then go tell a mountain somewhere to be removed. The joke is on you, not me.

That's what it says, that's what it means. The problem is, we say we have faith, but when it comes right down to it, we really don't have the kind of faith Jesus was referring to. When we pray and it doesn't happen, we then resort to saying, 'oh, it must not have been God's will'. So, did we...

There are many " bibles", many translations, some good, some bad and biased. So, your statement is not quite accurate. As a result, it becomes our responsibility to sort out the good from the bad so as not to be mislead, and not assume that just because the book says Holy Bible on its cover that...

Christians are also sons of God while yet alive here on the earth, by adoption as the scriptures state. Romans 8:14-17, Eph 1:5, Galatians 3:26, Galatians 4:5-6.

For sure, any Christian, which is exemplified by scripture. There is no scripture defining who can or can't baptize nor one that defines qualifications of the baptizer. The only thing we know by the scriptures is that baptism is an immersion in water, by the authority of God (i.e.; in the name...

Instead of wasting your time participating on forums such as this, you should be out there performing miracles, miraculously healing people, prophesying, telling everyone wonderful things that is over and above what God has revealed to us, speaking in "tongues" to unvelievers so they can be...

Similarly strange wording or phraseology is also found in Genesis. See below from a previous post of mine elsewhere. Genesis 6:6 "6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." Why does the above say "on the earth"? If the earth was the only...

I find this wording to be very strange. See if you agree. Look at the word I've highlighted and ask yourself why it's there or if the paragraph would be sufficient without it. But with it, what is or could be construed to be inferred? I'll say no more. Isaiah 43:10 10Ye are my witnesses...

Anyone who repents and is baptized will be saved. I know for a fact that Jeffrey Dahmer became a Christian before his death. He repented and was baptized into Christ for the remission of his sins, no different than the Jews on the day of Pentecost that were responsible for the death of Christ...

Your speculation

That it is; a myth

If you believe the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, then yes. And by believer, that must mean a saved individual and not one that simply believes since belief alone saves no one. Edit: Just to clarify my above statement. Lazarus was comforted in Abraham's bosom at his death but not...

First of all, it was written to the 7 churches of Asia in their time, not to us in our time. What was it suppose to mean to them??? What does it mean to us??? It's for sure symbolic, so what do the symbols mean? This is where and how it gets highly confusing and speculative. If it's written to...

No one can repent for you, you must repent on your own volition which in so doing constitutes " choice "

Where does it say or remotely infer anything of the kind? NOWHERE in the bible! Just a casual reading of the book of conversions will tell you how to be saved and it has nothing whatsoever to do with "tongues" which also do not exist today. So how are we saved today then? Once again, the book of...

The only problem when reading God's word, is determining what and when something is to be taken literally and not, and then what you ascribe to the words that you selectively choose to take as non-literal. It becomes subjective, and we then also say, for our convenience, what we feel or think...

Only in the kjv, one of its few anomalies. The Greek word is 'pascha', which is passover, but the kjv translators took it upon themselves to substitute Easter because of the overlap of that pagan celebration which coincided with the passover at that time.
