To automatically read "baptism" into John 3:5 simply because it mentions "water" is unwarranted. Jesus mentions "living water" in John 4:10, 14; 7:37-39 and in John 7:38-39, we read - "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this...

Amen! Truther has proven himself to be a legalist and an agitator who enjoys stirring up contention with believers. :rolleyes:

Amen! In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no resulting evidential 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...

No contradiction at all and those passages of scripture do no negate (Acts 3:19; 4:4; 5:14; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:39; 15:8,9; 16:31; 26:18)

You are in desperate need of properly harmonizing scripture with scripture before reaching your conclusion on doctrine.

Amen! (Acts 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 13:39; 15:8,9; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 5:1; 10:4; 1 Corinthians 1:21; Ephesians 2:8; 1 John 5:13 etc..) further refutes their claims of salvation by water baptism. Works-salvationists only care about isolating pet verses and building doctrine on them...

The Church is the body of Christ that is made up of all born again Christians (Colossians 1:18,24) and is not simply a physical building with a name stamped on it. Also, don’t confuse the picture (water baptism) with the reality (Spirit baptism).Attacking a false religion that perverts the...

Did you even bother to read the article? BTW James is talking about an empty profession of faith/dead faith that produces no evidential works (James 2:14) hence the “alone.”

Oh the irony and I can see that you bought into the Roman Catholic sales pitch hook, line and sinker. :( Christianity is about a relationship with Jesus Christ and not legalistic, religious bondage to false religion/a counterfeit church.

Typical Roman Catholic sales pitch. It’s the RCC that teaches a counterfeit gospel. The Catholic Church Teaches Salvation by Works

Baptism is a work of righteousness (Matthew 3:13-15) and Paul clearly stated we are not saved by works of righteousness. (Titus 3:5) Works are not merely limited to specific works of the law. Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a...

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 which washes...

Baptismal regeneration/salvation by works is heresy and you can twist and misinterpret those passages of scripture above all you want in a vain effort to accommodate your biased church doctrine, but it doesn’t change the fact that man is saved through faith and not by works. Period. (Romans...

Neither Titus 3:5 or John 3:5 refer to baptismal regeneration, but to spiritual cleansing. See John (4:10,14: 7:37-39; 1 Corinthians 12:13). Again, Paul is stressing the importance of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and is not teaching salvation by faith plus love/acts of charity/works. Being...

See Titus 3:5 on how we obtain mercy. Jesus covered our sins in one way (Romans 4:7) by bringing forgiveness for all believers, yet sins can also be covered in a different way. In Proverbs 10:12, we read: Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins. In 1 Peter 4:8, we read: And above all...
