My favorite ~ Pohutukawa tree [NZ Christmas tree] shedding it's bark

I think on-line churches and forums can help when it is difficult to get to a body of Christ but they can not do the things that Churches can in respect to studying God's word in a house group situation, Pastoral visits, using your gifts and being in a Christian community of caring, sharing and...

Paul again is speaking about himself and the disciples and Apostles of that time. They were persecuted terribly for the sake of bringing the gospel to the world...You seem to imply that New believing Christians can sit on their laurels and not grow from there. This is not what the bible teaches...

It was just a play on words ;) but what I was meaning had more to do with baptism. Romans 6:4

36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor...

I believe that the Mormon Churches baptize on behalf of the dead because they believe that no-one can enter heaven without being baptized. The above 1 Cor 15:29-32 is the scripture they profess regarding this particular sacrament but the verse is not stating that...

I have thought about this incident for a number of years and I believe that this was not unlike a baptism... from death to life.

There are some denominations who believe that they are able to stand in proxy for a departed family member or friend who has passed on. What are your thoughts on this theology? :huh: 1 Corinthians 15 29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at...

True... Christians are followers of Christ. If they also follow Christ then that statement is true... Christians are not Israelites. I do not believe in the replacement theology and besides the bible teaches that Jesus has made the two into one new man... Ephesians 2 11 Therefore remember...

I think that all AIs comes from the tree of knowledge of good and evil...JMHO :huh:

Hi justaname, I guess it depends on your knowledge of him and your willingness to obey his will as a born-again believer. I'm not quite sure what you mean. Please clarify...

Sin leads to death. He wasn't speaking to non-believers here because they are already without Christ and the hope we have of eternal life. He is basically pointing out the fact that sin gives birth to death and that is what Christ died on the cross for...he is speaking to believers. If sin...

I am amazed ATP that I have been able to hold a conversation with you for this long as I have a painful wrist and hand but everything seems to fly out the window when we are engaged in discussion about the things of God. Prayer would be most appreciated ~ Thanks. I will catch up to you later...
