As they are gathered together in a building.Born again Christians are the house of God - not a building.

Hi JBF,Nevertheless, I believe that every believer needs to search out those answers for themselves by reading the scriptures for themselves, in order for it to take root in their lives as doctrine that is truly biblical in their minds.
Ok...sooooooo....where do the believers gather together?It seems to me that the pillar and foundation of the truth is the house of God...where the believers gather together.
Soooo you trust the Church Councils that decided on what books belong in the NT but you don't trust all the doctrine they came up with?I do believe that the different church councils that met to determine church doctrine came up with sound conclusions in church history.
Guess the red bird misunderstood .You lack understanding!!! You have the proof before you= you know many unbelievers get baptized to please others and you "SHOULD" know that ALL unbelievers that are baptized are bound for hell!!
Many get baptized also under the image of another jesus . And it does them zero good too .You lack understanding!!! You have the proof before you= you know many unbelievers get baptized to please others and you "SHOULD" know that ALL unbelievers that are baptized are bound for hell!!
Jesus told the Apostles 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
What you are preaching is relativism. That is a dangerous teaching that started with the Reformation.
With that said the students of the Apostles (1st century Christians) did NOT have the option to live THEIR doctrine according to what was "truly biblical in their minds." If they rejected the teachings of the Apostles they rejected Jesus. There was AND is no relativism in Christianity. That theory was settled at the Council of Jerusalem.
When Christians get rid of relativism Jesus prayer will be answered. (John 17:21)

It is a dwelling place and God dwells in the hearts of people, not a building.As they are gathered together in a building.

When the building contains a gathering of His people, it is the pillar and foundation of the truth.It is a dwelling place and God dwells in the hearts of people, not a building.
Yep . Again lets look at the example of phillip and the eunach .
And the eunach asked him , SEE , HERE is some water , what does hinder me , prevent me from being baptized .
WELL NO FAITH IN JESUS would prevent one FROM being baptized . Because Phillip told him , IF YE BELEIVE
YE may be baptized . so the baptism the harlot does on new born babies , yeah sorry , that one dont count .
The eunach was returning from doing what . worshipping at jerusalem . He actually beleived in the GOD of abraham , issac and jacob.
And he knew some things in the scriptures .
Just as cornelius was gentile , Yet he too worshipped the GOD of the jews .
But neither one was saved yet . They sure did have to come to faith in JESUS . and then both were water baptized .
If JESUS said to baptize , then lets simply follow what He taught .
Post snipped.
I don't follow Justin Martyr, Augustine, and certainly not the anti-Trinitarian Origen.
I follow Jesus Christ and his Word is more than sufficient.
If Origen denied the Trinity was he sent by Jesus Christ?then why don’t you believe Him and do as He says
Lk 10:16 for example or acts 2:42
John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
anywhere they want, your house, the coffee shop, the park, camping, the beach, backyard etc........Ok...sooooooo....where do the believers gather together?
Tres . three faith . THAT is what i am saying . FAITH and then be baptised .Jesus taught Mk 16:16 faith and baptism
then why don’t you believe Him and do as He says
Lk 10:16 for example or acts 2:42
John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Watch this three faith . watch closely . Hey spurgeons girl , i bet you already got baptized , just like i did .I do what the Bible says. My Bible says that the Catholic interpretation of scripture is anathema.
Galatians 1:8
English Standard Version
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
I do beleive it says , let him be accursed . Do notice paul even said , IF WE , as in himself , ever preached another gosple let him too be accursed . THEY really DID , by grace , FOLLOW JESUS . THEY truly did . WE sticking to our bible sister . let them have their creeds .I do what the Bible says. My Bible says that the Catholic interpretation of scripture is anathema.
Galatians 1:8
English Standard Version
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
