    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    In other words, you are very satisfied with what you already believe (because it accommodates your biased church doctrine and credits you with salvation) and you don't want to be confused with the facts. Got it. You would rather isolate part of a verse and hang your hat on that than consider the...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    The "keep reading" part clarifies the preceding words. 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...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Keep reading - (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    It gets clearer when you read the rest of the verse. Simply isolating part of the verse and ignoring the rest is not a good practice in biblical hermeneutics.

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Free pass no matter what? Believers are new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and have been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever. (1 Peter 1:23) We have been changed. Praise God! Now one should not underestimate the...

    1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. ALL sin. Not merely past sins. Walking in the light is 'descriptive' of children of God in contrast with 1 John 1:6 - If we say...

    Trump Moving Too Fast?

    I would not be surprised if another pandemic is on the horizon and I'm convinced the timing of the last one was no accident! Speaking of China and the covid pandemic. https://www.foxnews.com/world/china-blames-us-origin-covid-19-turning-deaf-ear-numerous-questions-over-its-conduct The great...

    These were rhetorical questions for DJT_47. You must not have caught my sarcasm or meant to address DJT_47. I believe that you and I are on the same page theologically in regard to Salvation and Sanctification.

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    So, Christ merely "initially" saves us by grace through faith, then after that, we maintain our salvation by repentance and prayer? Is Christ's finished work of redemption the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation (Romans 3:24-28) or the IN-sufficient means of our salvation?

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Not merely past sins, as if Christ is an insufficient Savior, but all sins. (Acts 13:39; Colossians 2:13)

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not...

    Why faith alone? The answer...

    Yes, there are 3 tenses to salvation that often get confused by works-salvationists. 1. We have been saved from the PENALTY of sin (justification) 2. We are being saved from the POWER of sin (progressive or ongoing sanctification) 3. We will be saved from the PRESENCE of sin (glorification)

    Why are Christians leaving their churches?

    Good point. Now even though there are churches that certainly have problems and are led by false teachers, not all of them teach false doctrine and are led by servants of satan/wolves in sheep's clothing etc.. That should not be a cop out for someone to not attend church at all. In Hebrews...
