    Baptized Into Christ, Rightly Divided Summary...

    Your assertion would make Jesus a liar. Have you not read the account of the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus, where He said to the one not mentioning baptism, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise?” In other words, no baptism is not "required as part of the...

    The twelfth Apostle

    That is a dodge on your part. It is I who asked you that question and you have turned it around, obviously avoiding the fact that you cannot give an answer with biblical evidence or confirmation regarding Maria Valtorta. You have said enough.

    Baptized Into Christ, Rightly Divided Summary...

    You quoted my explanation from the scriptures. Scripturally, being born of water is first, which means born of women, all of whom are condemned to death for the sin of Adam and Eve that got all mankind driven out of the presence of God. Have you not read these things?

    The twelfth Apostle

    You are missing the point. The point is that "signs" are seen and therefore the lessor compared with those things done by the spirit which are unseen. Meaning, that the "signs of an apostle" are the lesser...while the church has incorrectly considered them the greater.

    A Christian voting for President now may be a sin

    I see. However, I would caution you on your understanding of gender as created by God, why, and the roles He has assigned. Also on Trump. The gender of all creation first shows the headship of God, but then shows the place of all who are in Christ...as women. "This is a great mystery, but I...

    The twelfth Apostle

    The problem is that you (and church doctrine) place a greater significance on the "signs of an apostle" when they are actually the lesser. For the greater things of God are unseen. Therefore Jesus said: John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will...

    The twelfth Apostle

    You are repeatedly making this about me. Stop it. As for Maria-- that's cute, but not in accord with biblical precedence. If she were actually sent by God, she would be equal to John, not less.

    The twelfth Apostle

    So...I see we have a comprehension issue here. Are you not reading my responses to you and therefore think I did not do what I actually did? You need to do better than that.

    The twelfth Apostle

    I already gave you many examples of biblical confirmations in scripture. But no, I am not saying that Revelation 2:17 confirms my experience. Again, this is not about me. I just gave it to give you something to answer to, that perhaps Maria was given a name only known to her. If she had...

    The twelfth Apostle

    This isn't about me. But I have biblical confirmation from scripture. Does Maria?

    The twelfth Apostle

    He can help you with that too.

    The twelfth Apostle

    Jesus referred to Abraham and Solomon; David and others prophesied of Him; John the Baptist and Peter confirmed that He was the Christ; Witnesses confirmed Paul's road to Damascus experience, etc.. As for those given the hidden manna, it is written: Revelation 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him...

    The twelfth Apostle

    If you want to tell Jesus that He is out of context when summarizing in Mark, feel free.
  14. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    When the Word of God says He has told you all things (in summary), it is He who has given the context. By definition, "all" means all.
  15. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    No, that is not what I asked. But rather that your provide chapter and verse of scripture confirming that she is sent by God.
  16. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    One at a time: Mark 13:23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
  17. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    That is not the test. To the contrary, what if any biblical confirmation, can you present that confirms that she has been sent by God?
  18. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    I suspect that each of these points should be taken one at a time. Indeed, there are specifics in the word of God, and there are also general terms. It is the general term of Christ being the Word of God which causes every word from God to be included when He says, "I have told you all things"...
  19. ScottA

    The twelfth Apostle

    I understand that is the common doctrinal belief among the church, however the word "apostle" simply means "one sent." As for "the signs of an apostle", indeed, one sent is sent by the power of God to perform the gift that he is sent to do...and yet there are many gifts given by God all of...

    Many Denominations

    If one goes shopping for a turkey and comes home with a turnip, Thanksgiving will be without meat. Seriously, just as we are a body of many [different] members, we are also one of different gifts; and if the wrong gift is applied in the wrong place, there is no service to God. Thus, it is good...
