Judgment and hypocrisy Matthew 7:1-5 Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own...

Scriptures for those that think you can sin and will definitely be judged for it. Genesis 4:7 “If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Luke 14:26-27 “If anyone comes to...

Scriptures for those that believe that Christians cannot sin…. Romans 4:15 “for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.” 1st John 3:9 “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of...

Paul, Peter, John, Mark, and Matthew, is there anyone in the Bible that does not preach that Baptism is part of the process of salvation. Paul preaches against works...not Baptism. Against the works of the Law, not Baptism. Anytime the process is discussed in detail...as in, this is what you...

The respect side of love....

You guys going to talk around me like I'm a little gnat or something? I am a daughter of the Most High God! I've only ever put one person on ignore. That doesn't include either of you (even though your comments tempt me at times, Giuliano) What!????

Just about the time you think you have the higher theological points down.....they trip you up by throwing in the simplest of terms .....grace...definition of the word.... By God's love we are saved.

None of that is correct....start over....I keep telling you and you keep getting mixed up

which you posited as not necessarily always being present. No no...Holy Spirit always present, so required or necessary is not words that are needed. Tongues and prophecy....always good but not required for salvation. You can count them up, but I don't think we are going to get an exact percentage.

lol We got him on the run now.....he thinks he is sinless....lol or he thinks he sins and by his own estimation is not going to make it to heaven either because he is sinner...vicious circle if you do not know the truth.

Only the Saints of God inherit eternal life, not sinners. Oh my Giuliano! Can we have fun with this statement.....!???

Then you are saying you do not think it is particularly important one way or another? Never said anything like that.... You say, you do not think it is particularly important one way or the another? "it" it...is essential, whether it is the filling of the Holy Spirit or the speaking in...

What do you bet we can find scriptures that tell of that. I do not see any suggestion that it happened all the time. As today.....the Holy Spirit is always involved, not necessarily in tongues and interpretations. Nor is tongues required for the fullfillness of salvation.

Giuliano! What have ya done to the poor guy! You have chopped his head off and he is chasing his tail! Watch what he does next!

Freedom of Religion....the constitutional guard against religious fanaticism. The people on this forum put up with a lot, and not just on this forum. Those that attribute all the characteristics of Satan to God....Calvinists. There are people that deny the deity of Christ...and say there is no...

Don't waste your time....The posts before this have lists of scriptures that are a true testament of the truth. The scriptures are listed, the beliefs of the early Church are listed, The beliefs of the Early Church Fathers are listed. the Ecumenical Councils stand, All of Christian history...

I am not directly saying you are guilty; I am making a point. But you are looking at the ritual and not what it represents No, I am looking at both the spiritual significance of the ritual and what it represents....What you are trying to do is write scriptures. The posts before this have lists...

My points are that it is not necessary for salvation, My point is that your point is not biblical and unheard of until someone, around 1500 or 1600 years after Christ decided go against the scriptures. it shouldn't be forced on people (as it was to one member on this board in another thread)...

The epistles and letters address many things but Acts are those things in motion. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:41 So then, those who had...
