You remember her?
She was banned in 2017 I think it was, and then came back again and now back again.
Yep. I watched this forum for years before I joined it. I only joined this one after the ones I participated in went full blown woke.

I call it your lie because of these two verses.

Acts 2:38-39
King James Version
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 22:16
King James Version
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Can you see what they say?

Can you see what the verses I quoted say?

Yes, I remember doing the same now that you mention it.
The "Not By Works" was a thread with a lot of drama.

We will see if this one can catch up.

That is where babies come out?

Turn the book right side up, and read it again.

You should learn to understand what you are reading.

I never said babies came from the sample place one passes gas from


Kinda hypocritical coming from someone that claims drinking alcohol is a sin but can’t provide scripture to prove it.

I posted that information, but you cherry picker types don't believe al;l the Lord says in His Word so you people think drinking booze and suicide aren't sinful behavior

The future don't look too bright for you bud. disagree.gif
 
Can you see what the verses I quoted say?

We for sure have to use all of HIS word and put it together like a puzzle and ALL of the peices have to fit!! ALL OF THEM.

Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

You have eyes and ears,

Jeremiah 5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

FYI, I don't think you are foolish.

So what are you going to do now?

We all have came short, here is a story of some folks who repented when they were going down the wrong road.

Acts 2:37-41
King James Version
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Has your heart been pricked?

WILL YOU GLADLY RECEIVED HIS WORD?

The people of Israel were and are the most deceived people on this planet. I wouldn't count on my heritage for any truth.

The Lord Jesus Christ apposed those practices. If Israel saw and knew the truth, we would be in the millennium.

To some extent, you're correct. However, Abraham was an important example of faith, along with many others throughout our history among the great prophets, not to mention Christ Jesus Himself having been sent unto us through whom salvation came to mankind. Because of our status as His chosen people for events and a Kingdom that will one day be realized on this earth, I would hope Gentiles would be more respectful and loving rather than to paint us all with the same coloring as for those who are indeed deserving of your derision.

So, please be careful when casting disparaging comments against a people whom you should be praying for rather than putting down with such broad brush strokes of veiled condemnation. My appeals absolutely are not an attempt to uphold all the known scoundrels throughout our history. I could say the same of you in relation to Gentiles...that you still sin to this very day, as do all others in this world. We all are still beholden to ancient Israel because of the unfathomable blessings and the Kingdom promised to Israel that will one day be realized in the near future. You and even I as an Israeli won't be there in that city, but those who will have in their number men whose stature you couldn't even hope to aspire in this life.

I pray for my fellow Jews and for Gentiles alike, loving all in spite of the scoundrels and scum among us.

I’m depending 100% on Jesus’ work and 0% on my work.
Amen! Either we are depending 100% on Jesus' finished work of redemption as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation or else we are 100% lost. (Acts 10:43; 13:38-39; 15:7-9; Romans 1:16; 3:24-26; 4:5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:18-21; 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21 etc..).
 
I’m depending 100% on Jesus’ work and 0% on my work.

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.

John 14:15-31
King James Version
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

What JESUS did has nothing to do with what we do!!

It's called free will.
 
And Yet? You claim that there was another Gospel and Israel needed water baptism to be saved. Please clarify.

Sure thing.

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

One cannot be saved if their sins are not remitted. We today are not under that requirement for water baptism for the remission of our sins today as they were back then before the fall of Israel. That item, therefore, is a defining element for the Kingdom Gospel they were under at that time.

Our sins are remitted not on the basis of obedience to the requirement for water baptism because we are under the Gospel of Grace. This Gospel, defined in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 doesn't contain the requirement for water baptism as the twelve laid down as a requirement upon Israel in Acts 2.

Paul, then, had sole, initial ownership as the one through whon his gospel was revealed directly from Christ Jesus. His gospel is the one that, had the princes of this world known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory, as scripture clearly states. Where it true there are those who claim the gospel is singular, they do so at the expense for denial of the clearly defined elements between that which was preached by Jesus and the twelve and what was preached by Paul through direct instruction and inspiration.

Does that help?

The message Peter presented included quotes from Joel and the Psalms that drew a massive crowd of Jews to the Messiah. The fulfillment was in line with the purpose of the feast:

Acts 2:30-37
Therefore being a prophet, (David) and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;


He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
(Psa. 110:1)
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."


Note: The hearers of Peter's message would have understood the connection between Jesus, the risen Messiah, and the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, the second harvest, they were currently attending. Now it all made sense. Jesus was the Passover lamb, and the firstfruit of the Firstfruits harvest; He rose, and others came out of their graves as well when Jesus was resurrected. (Matt. 27:53)

Back to Acts 2, the next verse indicates the hearers wanted to know what they must do in order to be part of this the beginning of the second harvest. Pentecost was the fourth feast held fifty days after Firstfruits; where more crops were harvested then at Firstfruits.


"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Peter said, Repent, and be baptized EVERYONE of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the Holy Ghost." (37-38) The same message was then carried into all nations.

Consider, the second harvest in Leviticus is a foreshadow concerning both Jew and Gentile. (23:17) The instruction includes two wave loaves of equal weight and baked with leaven that are called "firstfruits". That the loaves are baked with leaven represents sinful man. And beings they are "firstfruits" they are redeemed men. The harvest that began at Pentecost continues. (3000 died at the giving of the OT law at Mt. Sinai, and 3000 were saved after belief and obedience to the NT gospel.)

"Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord."



As you referenced, Paul's comment concerning salvation in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 indicates everyone must believe is that Jesus' died, was buried, and resurrected. And as I pointed out the scripture reveals that is the first thing that all must believe; there is more to the gospel message.


Per your statement concerning the wall of partition. According to Ephesians 2:14-16, Jesus dealt with the wall of partition between Jew and Gentile at the cross, during his crucifixion.


Lastly, water baptism is by no means a badge of merit. But rather God offering forgiveness to everyone who believes and obeys the command in association with Jesus sacrifice; regardless of this fact not a single person deserves it=unmerited favor.

No, my friend. You conveniently left out verse 38 in Acts 2. Also, the middle wall of partition didn't come down until after the fall of Israel. Some of you Gentiles seem to love leaving out key elements in scripture to defend your false teaching pastors whom you love and follow for reasons I cannot fathom. Salvation is of the Jews, just as scripture declares, and yet Gentiles the world over ignore that with gleeful abandon without consideration for the ramifications.

But, you're free to believe the lies taught to you by whatever liars you choose to follow after.

MM
 
Your insistance that I am preaching another gospel does not make it true, and is grossly unfounded.

The command to be water baptized in the name of Jesus for remission of sin was not part of the OT law. The command was initiated in the NT on the Day of Pentecost.

Then follow your chosen path of liars all you want.

MM
 
You're steering many away from the truth. And that is really sad. The truth is this: your fellow Jews insisted that NT believers who had already obeyed the commands presented at Pentecost be required to obey the OT command of circumcision as well. (Acts 15:5-10) That was the issue.

Paul never discouraged people from being water baptized, and he referenced and provided indepth details about it, And I don't know how often I have to say it, but Paul was still water baptizing people 20+ years after Pentecost. (Acts 19:1-7) If, as you suggest, it was an OT command why would Paul have water baptized anyone? He wouldn't have. But he did as scripture reveals time and again.

No matter how many times you say it, water baptism in the name of Jesus for remission of sin is not part of the OT law. Period. So stop leading people astray.

Your love for straw man argumentation is also telling in your continued defense of lies. I never said Paul discouraged water baptism. That you fail to read what I have actually stated betrays the foundations undergirding your manic push to stay the course of lies and deceptions in not only theological mooring but also in simple discussion with others.

I do believe that Cornelius was saved.
However, he also did not know about being baptized.

Once we come to know this...
then it does become a requirement.

You seem spot on with HIS word and REALLY appreciate you.

Why would you belive Cornelius would be saved without getting rid of their sins?

I understand your thoughts "if we don't know" it's not a requriement.

How can we not know if were reading HIS book?

I can see us not knowing TODAY do to alot of people today don't even preach we need to be bapitzed in JESUS name or receivign the Holy Ghost like in acts 2:4.

That's one reason I'm here, but GOD gave us a rule book for US to read and don't tell me that GOD doesn't wisper to all of us.

So many people today are Hell bound for listinign to men with a bad none bible foundation.

Just wondering do you think all of these folks today that are just in a church that deos not preach HIS word are going to heaven without being reborn do to ignorance?
