Salvation = saved. Saved from what? Your past sins. So, future sins must be dealt with by repentance such as was done by Simon the sorcerer as cited in Acts 8. He believed and was baptized meaning he was saved, but then sinned and was told to repent or perish.

The scriptures don't overtly say, but it's obvious that he made a choice which by doing so was exercising his free will.

Everything done in the fleshly body is some kind of work whether it's mental with the brain or physical. People get hung up on "works" and erroneously claim things such as those mentioned, as well as baptism, is a "work", and therefore wrong. That's total nonsense. God has left his work on earth...

Strong sexual desire, lust. Some people say Paul's thorn was medical, but that can't be correct since such doesn't require God's grace. It's clear in Romans 7 as posted.

The answer is in Romans 7: concupiscence 7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of...

You obviously don't know what baptism is. It's Greek. Look up the definition which is self explanatory. It's transliterated from Greek to English meaning it's the same word, not a translation with only letters changed to accommodate the language differences. It means to dip, plunge, immerse. It...

I don't belong to a denomination. BAPTISM Necessity or option? Baptism is required in order to: · Be saved Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved” 1st Peter 3:20/21 “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of...

You said "a god": "a" and small "g". I responded as per the interlinear which doesn't use "a" nor a small "g". What's your point?

Not so. Look at the interlinear. It DOESN'T say "a god" but rather God was the word. 2316 [e] Theos Θεὸς God N-NMS 1510 [e] ēn ἦν was V-IIA-3S 3588 [e] ho ὁ the Art-NMS 3056 [e] Logos Λόγος . Word

It ain't there just like infant baptism ain't, or pouring water in lieu of baptizing, or baptism prior to belief and after the fact confirmation. None of this is scriptural and in fact is contrary to scripture.

Two scriptures to consider. That of Lazarus and the rich man, and the thief on the cross. Luke 16:19-31 and Luke 23:43

This has already been covered. Paradise is the 3rd heaven. Also, for your clarification, the spirit is not the soul as they can be divided.

The practice of confirmation may be well attested to but that doesn't make it any more right or scriptural. It's neither and equates to adding to the word of God. Do it practice it believe it, doesn't matter, it's plain man made-up nonsense, wrong, and contrary to scripture.

All your words won't change the simple words of the scriptures. You are assuming and speculating. You know as much about thus topic as I do or anyone else because there is very little information on it. Scripture doesn't contradict scripture nor conflict with it either. And it's not implied by...

Paradise and the 3rd Heaven appear to be one in the same, as they are referred to interchangeably in the aforementioned scripture. There is no scripture saying paradise was moved by Christ; that too is a made-up story. And I'm not proposing anything; just simply citing the scriptures and reading...

You're not quite right. We also know from scripture that Jesus Saud he'd be in paradise that very day that he made the promise to the thief on the cross and we also know that paradise is a specific place also the third heaven. Luke 24:43 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee...

The thief on the cross was promised to be in paradise by the Lord which is the 3rd Heaven and not hades or sheol.

???? How do you figure that?

Your analysis/logic is somewhat incorrect. There is no such thing as confirmation nor confirmation after the fact of infants who had water poured on them as a form of baptism prior to their belief, and their subsequent belief being supposedly then confirmed. It's unscriptural. First of all...

You make no sense and are inconsistent with scripture. Go study them. Goodbye
