    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    There is a difference between running away and shaking the dust off my shoes and moving on. Once I have presented all the facts to back up my argument from scripture, yet you still stubbornly refuse to accept the truth, why should I continue to waste my time beating a dead horse? Continue to...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    I see that you basically ignored everything I shared with you in post #65 and you continue to double down on your straw man argument. I can't help you any further and will leave you to your foolishness.

    James versus Paul? Works of the law vs. works of faith

    Paul NEVER once said that we are "saved by works" of any kind and in James 2:15-16, the example of a "work" that James gives is: "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    So what you are saying is that the Holy Spirit is in essence a river of living water? So when we meet the Holy Spirit, we will be standing next to a literal river of water? Not hardly. Water cleanses, quenches, refreshes, and gives life. The Holy Spirit cleanses our soul, quenches our spiritual...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    I said the Holy Spirit is the source of living water and spiritual cleansing (But this He spoke concerning the Spirit) so it's not living water = Spirit in which it's born of Spirit and the Spirit. I specifically showed you in scripture where Jesus mentions living water in John 4:10, 14; 7:37-39...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Does work get accomplished by getting water baptized? I would certainly say yes. Jesus said that it's proper for Him to be baptized to fulfill all righteousness in Matthew 3:15, so baptism is a "work of righteousness." Either baptism is a work or else it's just a nothing and either it's a work...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    You'll believe whatever your church tells you to believe. Campbellites are easily indoctrinated by their church. Since "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first, Peter is saying "repent unto...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    See post #38. In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter tells us that baptism now saves you, yet when Peter uses this phrase he continues in the same sentence to explain exactly what he means by it. He said that baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh (that is, not as an outward, physical act...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Acts 10:43 - All the prophets testify of Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins. 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45 All the Jewish believers who came with Peter...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Salvation by water baptism is a perverted gospel. Jesus clarifies the first clause with "but he who does not believe will be condemned." So he who believes and is baptized is general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized. Did Jesus...

    It’s your flawed hermeneutics and your perverted water gospel that’s a train wreck.

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    From the same post I previously posted. Why should I change up what I said when it’s the truth or type out every letter and number from my previous post all over again when I can simply copy and paste it faster? As long as you continue to isolate your pet verse and build doctrine on it without...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    There is nothing stale about properly harmonizing scripture with scripture in order to reach the properly conclusion on doctrine and the truth. Your biased interpretation of your pet verse does not negate (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:8,9; 16:31; 26:18). In Matthew...

    What Really Happened January 6th?

    I deal with liberals all the time on the Christian Forums site who constantly accuse Fox News and other ‘non-liberal’ news outlets of lying. The rhetoric and propaganda from the left is relentless!

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Water baptism “follows” believes unto salvation/souls added. Acts 2:41 - Then those who gladly received his word (through repentance/faith) were (afterwards) baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. Acts 4:4 - However, many of those who heard the word believed...

    In Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The clause "each one of you be baptized" is...

    The Gospel is actually good news and here is why.

    Amen! The gospel is the “good news” of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16) To “believe” the gospel is the trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient...

    (37 M.V) Faith without works is dead - James 2:14-26

    In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to evidence his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against an empty profession of...
