Please set it forth a little faster. I may not want to stick around and wait for you to post the next thing...I may want to walk away from my computer for a while and then come back and finish.

Let pick it up tomorrow. What's a good time for you?

Not feeling like waiting for even a possibility of knowing Christ better?

That's not a good sign!

Your not ready.

I know the Lord quite well, actually.

But if you're going to lay forth what you believe on how to be saved, don't do it for me...I've been saved for over 30 years.

Do it for those people who may be hearing it for the first time.

If you can't lay it on the table clearly...then maybe it is some cult-like ideology that must be slowly introduced into a person's faith system.

Because the gospel is simple (2 Corinthians 11:3-4), and when it is preached it is most often clearly proclaimed.

So
Hello CNKW3
What of John the Baptist?
Babies can and do rejoice in their saviour....

Peace be with you!

Christ IS risen!
Alleluia!
There was nothing miraculous about John the Baptist? Just some average everyday kid?
I had two kids and no angel came to me to explain exactly what was about to take place and why.

And yet 'the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he'

So then, if we ask our Father for the gifts of faith and the Holy Spirit for our children, HE will do it! And the Comforter will come and live in them.

Peace be with you!

The words believe, believer, and believing are mistranslations of the Greek word pisteuo. The English language doesn't have a corresponding verb to the noun Faith like the Greek does. So pisteuo couldn't be correctly translated into the English language.
People's understanding of the NT word "believe" is way beyond ridiculous!
It MUST entail much more than ONE word can portray!
For all languages, not just English.

According to the whole of the NT ...
True Saving Belief = enduring belief-faith-trust, sincere repentance, deep love for God, obedience, practicing righteousness, being sanctified unto holiness, etc.

Salvation is a process, and it is very possible to fall away from it.

What's your understanding of NT saving Faith, or saving pisteuo?
