Basic fundamental principle of Jesus Christ, which according to you is problematic...
again, good luck with coming up with what you will accept as God's Truth
Hebrews 6
1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3And this we will do if God permits.
Wrong.
I am applying sound logical and hermeneutical principles. I suspect you have never learned them.
Your misinterpretation is problematic.
Does Hebrews 6 say “laying on of hands for the infilling of the Holy Spirit”? No.
Don’t waste time with your eisegesis.
1 Corinthians 5:11-13
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Jesus continued His teaching ministry thru New Testament writers so those are not Paul's Word but the Words of the Lord.
It's gullible people being tricked by the devil in to twisting what is being taught that is the problem.
There is a movement to reject the Apostle Paul altogether and that too is of the devil.
The most popular flavor of confusion being catholicism of course.
They claim to be the largest cult in the world!
Cult worshiping which god?? I would think you and I would agree who they worship.
They put mary before Jesus which is idolatry
They go by religious traditions and extra bible teachings which is not being led by the real Holy Spirit.
Real Christians go by God's Word.
Before we put away from among ourselves "the wicked person", we must first prove they are a "wicked person".
We know that some Christians do commit murder and adultery, but God does forgive them if they confess their sin.
If God forgives a repentant Church member of his sin, then so should the Church.
We have some powerful examples of Christians, being forgiven for sins like murder and adultery in the Bible.
King David (who committed adultery and murder) and the Apostle Paul (who consented to the murder of Christians), were both forgiven.
There is no sin that God won't forgive, believers who repent. There are many scriptures which confirm this.
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.
Colossians 2:13-14 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Psalm 103:12 speaks of God removing our transgressions as far as the east is from the west.
Psalm 32:1-2 speaks of the blessedness of one against whom the Lord counts no iniquity.
All sins, including wilful transgressions, are covered for those in Christ through repentance and faith. While God readily forgives, believers are encouraged to confess sins for fellowship, as seen in 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
As we can see, there is no sin that God doesn't forgive Christians. And what's even more amazing is the fact that God grants Christians repentance. 2 Timothy 2:25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth.
So, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ....so when Jesus says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my heavenly Father" ...do you believe him?
So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. -- Acts 17:22-23 ESV
This one must be yours. The "unknown religion." Since you won't say, we can only guess.
I quoted "the Word" as well. Are you not familiar with it? You can't just ignore the stuff that doesn't fit your narrative.
it is unknown to the 40,000 but even if they knew it they would not do it.
Some they know like the Sabbath which Jesus is Lord of -- they have devised many ways to make it go away.
Would you say that many of those who believe in the Lord Jesus, don't do the Fathers will?. I ask because you claim that many believers will come to Christ on that day saying 'Lord Lord'. And He rejects them because they don't do the Fathers will.
If that is the case then why doesn't the Bible say 'believe on the Lord Jesus and do the Fathers will and you will be saved'.
Those who believe on the Lord Jesus are doing Gods will, if we say we believe in Him but we don't do His will then we are deceiving ourselves. Faith without works is dead.
