what do you think?

do you think James 2:19 says demons believe Jesus is the Christ, and that 1 John 5 is nonsense?

or is scripture making your head hurt
My oppinon does not matter, only HIS word.

Ask them or read it your self.

That is the problem, people adding there ippioin you can see HIS word read it.

How does that get rid of your sins?

How does that fill you with HIS spirit?

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Have you received the Holy Ghost SINCE you have believed?

Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

100% agreed.
your opinion is meaningless.


1 John 5:13​
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

notice that we know we have eternal life because we believe.

not because we were physically baptized in water and faked unintelligible glossolalia.

your opinion vs scripture?
easy choice.

If your right then that proves the devils believe they are also saved.

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Now I see what the big fuss was, you don't like this verse because it goes against your belief.

Of course YOUR WRONG as the devils are also not saved.

Since we are born in sin, how do we get rid of it?
 
Oh, wenn Sie also nicht in Zungen sprechen können, soll ich dann glauben, dass Sie tatsächlich nicht erlöst sind?
Utmost respect for those who know more than one language.

Of course there is no way we can commutate.
 
so devils are Islamic?

and you think that means faith does not save?
I know just faith does not save.

You say it does and YOUR WRONG.

JESUS says,
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Who do you think is not telling the truth?
 
John 6:47​
Amen, Amen, I tell you,
the one who believes has eternal life.
@Ouch

believes what?

monotheism?
ritualistic physical bathing?
babbling unintelligible sounds?
 
I know just faith does not save.

faith in washings and fake tongues certainly doesn't.

but if you believed what the scripture says, you would know that faith in the Son of God certainly does.

John 6:47​
Amen Amen,
I tell you,
the one who believes
has eternal life.
 
JESUS says,
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

born of water is physical birth.
born of Spirit is faith.

why is there a requirement of physical existence to enter the spiritual kingdom?
 
John 6:47​
Amen, Amen, I tell you,
the one who believes has eternal life.

The verse I share and including the ones you share go hand in hand.

Your with out mine leads down the wide and broad path.

JESUS SENT THESE FOKES TO HELL!!

Matthew 7:21-23
King James Version
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

WHY?? THEY WORKED FOR HIM THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HIM?

They were missing something AS YOU ARE.
