    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    John 8:58 Jesus states He is eternal, - Jesus said to them, Most assuredly I say to you before Abraham was I AM I AM present tense which in the Greek language indicates continuous action. John 8:58 John 10:33, - the Jews answered Jesus saying for a good work we do not stone You but for...

    No Sir, the Lords church is still here from the beginning 33ad to the present Gods plan was to establish His church. No man could stop that. How weak God must be if men can overcome His preplanned purpose built church!!! Where do you get this idea that every single born again christian was...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Joe, you teach stuff that proves you do not believe in the Bible nor understand what you are saying. This belief of yours could never be proven with Scripture. That's why you gave none for this particular belief. You claim every church that was established in the new testament became apostate...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Everything I teach I back up with book, chapter and verse. It is you who does not understand the Scriptures you quote A great majority in "christendom" today are woefully ignorant that what they believe comes from specific theologies from the not so distant past. You may not believe you're a...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    When a calvinist talks about Christ changing our heart, he means God is cherry picking before the beginning of the creation of the world how He will directly give faith to and who he will withhold faith from. So, every time you quote a verse about faith you interpret the Scriptures through TULIP...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    I agree that works are involved in salvation. Thankyou for denying a man made saying that is so often ignorantly repeated, "Saved by Faith alone" Such an unbiblical Phrase. Now you Joe being a calvinist thinks all the things we do like our belief in Jesus, In your reality God does the...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Faith apart from works? Unbiblical!! It contradicts the true gospel we read about in the new testament.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Which disproves salvation by faith alone. No such thing as salvation without works, yet folks are in religions that base their whole gospel on no works to be saved.

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    Christ's work on the cross is what saves, John 17:4, - I have glorified thee on the earth having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I'll teach how all christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit today. This indwelling is not Holy Spirit baptism which was miraculous Also it is not gifts of the Holy Spirit for that was also miraculous and could only be given through the laying on of the apostles hands. No apostles...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Yes, same Philip but what was Philip receiving in Acts 6? Why did the apostles lay hands on him? Acts 6:1, read on - now in those days when the number of disciples was multiplying there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Helenists because their widows were neglected in the daily...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Excellent observation!!!! Very impressed you knew that!!! Yes but they were not imparting miraculous gifts. They were laying hands on those men as a gesture of approval for there appointment. Read the whole chapter and you will learn the laying on of hands in chapter 6 never mentions anything...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    What is the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? None The apostles were promised it, Luke 24:49, - Jesus: Behold I send the  promise of My Father upon you but tarry in Jerusalem until you(apostles) are endued with power from on high John was speaking to the apostles when he said...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    The book of Titus... Titus 3:5 Correct not saved by my works apart from Gods grace. Not saved by mans works only does God command that man work the works of God, John 6:28-29. God requires works of righteousness in order to receive His saving grace. Paul is teaching Titus in 3:5 that apart from...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    Have you ever noticed those who believe in miraculous healing today never see it when its happening? It's always someone else telling this story that happened to another person in another country or they claim they saw it on tv!!! If miracles occur today, why does no one perform one right in...

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    "Faith healings dont happen anymore" Correct. Notice when these charismatic TV evangelists fail to "heal" they accuse the sick of not having enough faith? The REALITY: The Scriptures put the faith on the person praying for healing!!! You think a true believer cannot pray for an atheist to be...

    SALVATION: BY GRACE OR BY WORKS? A FALSE DICHOTOMY

    You dont understand the verses you quote because you have been taught to view the scriptures through TULIP colored glasses.
