Chuckle!!! That's one of the silliest statements that I've seen here!!! The folks here in general display different THEOLOGICAL understandings / beliefs, some of which are critically important to their salvation, and most are really just religious background noise.

NO!!! it ONLY come as the result of "Hearing" the conviction directly from the Holy Spirit. "Conviction of SIN" from the Holy Spirit is the first definitive step - anything short of that is nothing but "Mental assent" (Theology), then UNDER CONVICTION, repentance and crying out to God are...

"Religion" doesn't necessarily "lead to God" at all. FAITH, and repentance under Holy Spirit Conviction of SIN does. Eph 2:8,9 Rom 10:17 Heb 11:1

And they's absolutely correct. [quoie] but conviction begins when a pig squeals/repents of disbelief and increases as it learns God's Word.[/quote} Disagree - FAITH is the result of God's WORD, but whether you know the bible or not, His Holy Spirit can Convict of SIN, and force a decision...

Presenting "Apologetics" to an "Athiest". is like wrestling a pig in the mud. You both get dirty, and the pig enjoys it. The only way into the safety of salvation starts with CONVICTION from the Holy Spirit (Rom 10:17) which is the beginning of FAITH. There's a local legal firm in Dallas...

Isa 53:10-12 Jesus is my SIN OFFERING that cleanses me from sin, and makes me CLEAN before God.

In most cases NO. "Doctrines" are man's attempts to reduce Scripture to "Practice". Christianity isn't essentially "Doctrinal" in the absolute. FAITH (Rom 10:17) is the basis, and Denominational paradigms may or may not have any truth connected to them. Heb 11:1 gives two aspects that...

IF you are a Born again Christian, then you can ask for WISDOM, and if you do so Single-mindedly, then you will recieve it Freely from the Holy Spirit ( James 1:5-8). Personally, I function as a "Teacher" primarily, and "being of service" to others is a parallel calling.

Big "IF". What makes the difference is FAITH (Heb 11:1 - Rom 10:17 - Eph 2:8) not "Belief" (mental assent). The "VISIBLE CHURCH" is inevitably populated by "WHEAT" (Actual born again believers), and "TARES" (religious adherents with no actual FAITH) in varying levels of concentration (Mat...

Simple: The LAW is God's will and it is eternal. Fortunately, we have a SAVIOR who Died to deliver us from the LAW by becoming the perfect SIN OFFERING for us (Isa 53:10). It's called "The Gospel".

Correfction: man's "theology" / "interpretation" tells us many things. Some things are true, and some things are horse manure. if I hear a trumpet, I'm outta here.

The Crucifixion as defined by Isaiah was a "SIN OFFERING" for the complete cleansing of those who had FAITH (not "Belief" - mental assent) in its efficacy. In the OLD Testament it was a look forward to what WOULD happen, and now it''s a look back on what DID happen. OUR SIN was nailed to the...

However, since a human CAN NOT Self-generate Biblical FAITH (Rom 10:17, Heb 11:1), there's obviously more to it than "Mental assent" - Intellectual belief. Intellectual belief IS NOT "Substantive", and is only "Evidence" of personal pre-conditioning / experience. Biblical FAITH is entirely...

It's called "Denominational theology".

No times. "Dead Faith" isn't FAITH at all. In salvation, GOD MOVES FIRST - giving CONVICTION OF SIN to the person, who them by their own FREE WILL either decides to surrender, repent and cry out in REAL FAITH for salvation. Rom 10:17 reveals the SOURCE of FAITH, and Heb 11:1 reveals it's...
