Speak for yourself. Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death."

You can no more show me than I can show you. But I can show you where what you are doing is accused.

Certainly there is no greater evil than Satan and the killing of Christ. Thus, it is not wrong to say that it was at the hand of Satan, or even at the hand of the Romans, or the jeering crowds of Jews, or the sins of all the world. However, as a forfeit by Christ (a sacrifice), it is a hollow...

You are not listening, not here, nor in the scriptures. I gave you an example from scripture. And an explanation. But you have also been told and should know better than to expect that there would be examples when Jesus made it clear that, "The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its...

You are contradicting yourself. What John "stated" is "a description of baptism." Is english your first language? It is the scriptures that "show" "that HS baptism is mentioned as a means of salvation." Which I did substantiate by the scriptures, by stating how Christ would build His church by...

No we could not be saved without Christ's crucifixion. I should think if Jesus had not gone to the cross it would have been against the Father's will and therefore a sin. In which case, Jesus would have died in His sin. But I don't believe for a minute that the Author of our faith could or would...

Good question... Up to you mentioning it, I was under the impression H. was saying just the opposite: that James was not meaning that works are required for salvation (just evidence of salvation), and that speaking to the twelve tribes did indeed include all who call Christ Lord. I will be...

Thank you. While the position of cnkw3 could be called heretical, those whom Christ came for of Israel who crucified Him could also be considered the same, and yet He prayed for their forgiveness "for they know not what they do." This sort of thing bothers me...but we can be confident that God...

"All" does mean all, all as in all are judged. This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit sent by Christ, and also with fire to those who are not His, each unto the judgement.

Okay, this is a problem. John the baptist gave the clearest, most concise description of baptism...and you aren't clear on it, and now are going off into the detail without that basic understanding. He described his baptism as a baptism of repentance (not of salvation), and also the saving...

First off, you were the one who brought up baptism "in the name of the lord." So, yes, I commented on it, and clarified the error of you thinking it was something different than what John the baptist said. It is not. Are we clear on that? As for showing you something you apparently do not have...

If you draw the line wherever it suits you, or even where it is commonly drawn, then it is simply a matter of what you believe to be true. That assumes both the definition of an apostle and also the requirements of salvation. You are just adding more variables and nothing positive. But there is...

On the contrary, we may not have common ground, but we should. We should both be of the same Spirit...which is the point. The Bible, as it is with all language, was confounded by God at Babel. That what men are inclined to see differently could be discerned in spirit having One source and...

By that definition he is "one sent"...an apostle. Now don't be putting words in my mouth and misquote me. I did not say the "book of acts" was nothing. I said the "acts" alone are "religious" nonsense. Your understanding of what occurred in Ephesus and the need to be baptized again, is greatly...

But if you teach only the words in their confounded form rather than discerning them in spirit, then you are teaching them in error...which you are. The Bible may appear to "say" that Christ returns and leads the 144 thousand during a thousand year reign physically upon the earth...but that is...

Indeed. So why do you advocate for a worldly kingdom for either?

I've read it. But if you are denying that the Philip named in the Acts of the "Apostles" was not an apostle...well, that would be your problem. No...you have made a religion out of the acts without understanding. The acts accomplish nothing. We are saved by hearing and believing, which is by...

You are painting a picture of a worldly kingdom, while His kingdom is not of this world. This you have apparently done because you have not answered the question correctly which Jesus asked the Pharisees: "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, “What do you...

The scriptures do indeed show Phillip's preaching as being ineffective in bringing the Holy Spirit, in contrast to that of Peter and John. I did not make it up. That is what is written. So, at best, you have simply presented the need for a two-phase teaching and preaching process. But that was...

And there is nothing wrong with that. But to preach political bents is not wisdom...thus my harsh comments. I recommend doing locally what you would suggest nationally, and do the same nationally, if your pockets are deep and you are able and willing to make it a project or career. Not everyone...
