    God's Word does ""not"" teach that baptism is essential for salvation.

    Then you're all preaching works based salvation

    God's Word does ""not"" teach that baptism is essential for salvation.

    That's nonsense. You completely miss the point. Which is thus: why would Paul give thanks that he has baptized only two people if baptism was what saved a person? That would be like Paul giving thanks for not saving anyone through faith.

    Rapture vs. Second Coming

    Right. Going up and immediately coming back down seems off.

    God's Word does ""not"" teach that baptism is essential for salvation.

    Let’s Do a “ Dangerous” Experiment— BB plays “ God”......

    I think this verse is very important. It says that while we were dead in sin, God made us alive. God didn't wait for us to become "better " or more righteous on our own. No, He saved us in spite of ourselves and our sinful nature. If sinning after salvation would result in us becoming unsaved...

    Interesting thought experiment TC but I would still not like to sin, even if I could get away with it

    What wisdom is this?

    Dude Paul is the Apostle to the gentiles. That's his ministry and it IS approved by God. It is God ordained.

    Eternity minded

    The idea that heaven is going to be on earth only bores me.

    Eternity minded

    It's not a difficult concept to grasp that looking towards heaven is what we are exhorted, by scripture, to do.

    What does it mean to be eternity-minded as opposed to earthly-minded? How does on practice eternal-mindedness today? In light of Romans 12:2 Romans 12:2 - And do not be conformed... - Verse-by-Verse Commentary Blessings
