    Her endorsement for Biden says it all for me, but I don't want to derail this thread by talking about her too much. sml

    Super Bowl 59 Thread

    I'm a born and raised Kansas City Chiefs fan. Go Chiefs! I'm not much of a Swiftie though. lol With that being said, I do have a lot of respect for the Eagles. They are a great team and the Chiefs had better find a way to stop Barkley if they expect to win the Super Bowl. That guy is amazing...

    Also, Acts 4:4 - However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

    Amen! Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    It's very sad and it's a shame that human pride will not allow these folks to trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. Their hands are full of their works and they will not let go in order to receive Christ through faith.

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    Your misunderstanding of the text culminates in salvation by works. Been there, done that. Prior to my conversion several years ago while still attending the Roman Catholic church, I basically defined faith "as" obedience/works too. Yet faith is the root of salvation and obedience/works is the...

    I already thoroughly covered this with you. Go back and read posts #54 and #63 again.

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    The same position I heard in the CoC that I temporarily attended several years ago is the same position I heard from other folks who attend the CoC on various Christian forum sites as well. No exceptions, huh? So, I'm only imagining what I clearly heard and the CoC is just misunderstood. Got it.

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    I already thoroughly explained this to you in posts #54 and #63 but unfortunately, I can see that the truth just continues to go right over your head. :(

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    So, the Jews did not repent until after they were baptized according to you? So repentance in essence is baptism according to you? Being baptized signified that the Jews repented. Refusing baptism signified that the Jews refused to repent. Repentance precedes baptism and forgiveness of sins is...

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    I don't appreciate your slander. You don't seem to understand Jesus' question in Matthew 21:25. The question was in regard to John's authority to baptize The legitimacy of John's ministry as being ordained by God in heaven and not about which baptism is being performed (Spirit baptism) or water...

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    Remission of sins is signified but not procured in water baptism. Luke 7:29 - When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God/acknowledged God's justice, (signified by) having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's...

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    Is the CoC divided on this belief? I've had other folks who attend the CoC claim that is their belief, so I know what I am talking about. Maybe you are the exception? :contemplate:

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    Matthew 3:11 - As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Was that natural H20 that John baptized people in? Do you understand the difference...

    JUSTIFICATION: Before God or Before Man? Examining James chapter 2

    :Laughingoutloud: Saving faith trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Actions which follow are works. How is my faith dead when I have been made alive together with Christ, saved by grace through faith, not works, created in Christ Jesus unto/for good works. (Ephesians 2:5-10) After my...
