Amen! Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does...

"Baptized into Christ" does not mean water baptized into the body of Christ, as DJT_47 teaches. That is only accomplished through Spirit baptism. (1 Corinthians 12:13) The only "sense" in which a believer would be "water baptized into Christ" is in the same "sense" that the Israelites were...

Ditto. I'm still waiting to hear you teach the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Show me the word stops practicing the truth in 1 John 1:6. More eisegesis on your part AGAIN. This is what happens when you subscribe to works-righteousness. Salvation for you is basically probation WITH an endless revolving door of walking in the light (committed a sin) now back to walking in...

Straw man argument. No, they don't. Don't confuse "nominal" or pseudo-Christians with genuine Christians. 1 John 2:19 - They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of...

I knew without a doubt that I had received the Holy Spirit and had become born again and my life changed drastically. What really blew my mind is how afterward, I recalled multiple people in the past who tried to share the gospel with me and it's like everything they said to me (prior to my...

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Do you understand what the word "practice" means? This is talking about one's lifestyle or bent of life and not occasional...

I received the Holy Spirit several years ago upon believing the gospel (Ephesians 1:13) and before water baptism the following morning. No hands were laid on me by an apostle (which is the exception and not the rule anyway) and I did not speak in tongues (which is a spiritual gift that not all...

In regard to the word "water" in John 3:5, there are those who would argue that the natural sense of the passage parallels water with being born out of a mother’s womb and with flesh based on the answer of Nicodemus to Jesus. Simply stated in that case, two births are necessary. The first is a...

It's actually you who fails to know and understand the difference in the roles and works of the Holy Spirit and your error is a byproduct of believing the false doctrine of salvation by water baptism. Acts 10:43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him...

Show me where the Bible teaches that born again believers have no fellowship with God, walk in darkness, lie and do not practice the truth. That is 'descriptive' of pseudo-Christians/make believers and not genuine born-again believers. They are included in WE and John makes multiple contrasts...

Pure truth. 1 John 1:6 - If we say (or claim) that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. I properly harmonized scripture with scripture in order to reach my conclusion on doctrine in post #192. It amazes me how everything that I explained in...

Notice that - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) is in contrast to - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:8) and - If we say...

John 1:6 describes those who merely say/claim they have fellowship with God, and walk in darkness. Such people lie and do not practice the truth. This is 'descriptive' of children of the devil  who meet this condition. Walking in the light is 'descriptive' of children of God who meet this...

Amen and well said! :Thumbsup:

I believe we are "accounted" as worthy the same way we are '"accounted " as righteous and that's by faith, not works. (Romans 4:5-6) We are not worthy or righteous "in of ourselves." (Romans 3:23; 6:23)

In regard to these Samaritan believers in this unique situation in Acts 8, there was a delay in receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit until the apostles laid their hands on them to receive the Holy Spirit. (Acts 8:17) Again, exception, not the rule (Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:7-9; Ephesians...

I understand John 6:29 as a play on words by Jesus when he said, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent," in response to the Jews (who were taking a legalistic approach) when they asked, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Jesus was simply...

In regard to John's baptism in Mark 1:4 and Luke 3:3, was this baptism of repentance for "in order to obtain" remission of sins or was it for "in regard to/on the basis of" the forgiveness of sins received upon repentance? *Be careful. John's baptism took place BEFORE Pentecost. I know about...
