    Eternal Security

    Anyone who really comes to God that first time takes on Jesus as his foundation or as the cornerstone. To build anything today the foundation usually of good reinforced concrete is necessary to assure that whatever house is built on it will be firmly secured to the ground. The cornerstone goes...

    Our friend, @bbyd009 brought up the subject here quite a while ago. The word is found in II Kings 18:4. The children of Israel had effectively and really changed the serpent made by Moses under God's direction in Numbers 21:8ff into an idol. It was intended to heal and protect the children of...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    They were all formed back in a day when even the superficial unity of no race discrimination was difficult. The group to which I have belonged under Bro Souders from my understanding was racially integrated even back when it was first begun during the First World War. he worked hard to keep it...

    Absolutely! It never became a smooth easy road without bumps for Jesus; nor for Stephen; nor for the apostle Paul. Too many people want the best of both worlds without giving anything they happen to like according to their carnal flesh. We are always walking on water and as long as our eyes are...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    I know people tried. His doors and windows were all firmly closed. I speak against arm twisting, so I must really try to abide by what I say.

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    I believe it was his continuous posts on the thread "Have you been baptized correctly" that led to his demise, it he was removed rather than quit. His "my way or the highway" position without really considering what anyone else said was getting old... but I know nothing more definite.

    @bbyrd009 I would say rather that Jesus is the foundation, but we have to have Him, rather than the Nehushtan of II Kings 18:4. The serpent saved people who were bitten by poisonous snakes back in Num 21:8ff. Jesus healed and saved people when he walked the streets of Jerusalem 2000 years ago...

    Without the proper Foundation anything we build will not stand the stress or pressure. The Foundation is Jesus. If we do have Jesus, really, and hold onto Him we are assured of our place. A house can be rebuilt on the same good solid foundation, but the house is NOT the foundation. If we build a...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    There may have been a crack in the armour there for he refused to directly address the other options provided, but we may never know. Some people come here certain that they have it exactly right and therefore everyone is going to see it their way. That seldom is the way it works. Was he shaken...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    I have no problem with what you said, but it does not establish that God consists of more than One entity or an entity of more than one part or person, and so forth. So there is no reason to decide that God consists of multiple parts rather than only one...[or two if Jesus is considered to be God].

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    And perhaps the best one along with those is one you cited in the OP: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." I John 5:7 That one I have had pointed out to me may have only been a note in the margin, but it's in my...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    I knew a few with similar attitudes among them, but it was not typical in my experience. The family that won my wife and I to God in 1976 was Oneness Jesus Only and it was their 24/7 living for God that convicted us. To this day I have never met anyone serving God more closely than they did...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    Oh I am sorry to hear that even though we were not harmonizing very well. But I must be content. So many times some are gone before we have even conversed.

    I detailed this yesterday on another thread: "Upon This Rock I will build my church". I will copy and paste it to here: Of course the Rock is the proper Foundation. Remember Jesus spoke of it here: "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    Thank you for a simple answer. If the answer to my question is, both, why would you break them into two?

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    Is it really so clear as that to you or is it simply the way you have always gone?

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    My friend I give the truth that I know and believe to the extent that I do. I was a part of Oneness Jesus Only long ago but knew when I left why I needed to leave. If I am anything it is most certainly not "anything goes".

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    My daughter and son-in-law attend an AoG. I have never belonged but visited a few times over the years.

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    All of these Pentecostal groups started generally just after the beginning of the 20th century with William Seymour being one of the leaders. When the Oneness separated from the Trinitarians during WWI there was a third smaller group that embraced neither the Oneness nor Trinitarian doctrines...

    God the Holy Spirit - third person of the Godhead

    Are these speaking of the Father or the Holy Spirit or both? "Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy." Psalm 99:5 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24
