Dumb question, to which i won't respond. It doesn't matter what I believe or don't believe or you on such a question

You're now twisting things and asking answerable questions. The simple issue is 'belief', and does that alone suffice to be saved. And James clearly indicates belief is not enough, there's more because devils believe as well. And James is referring to belief in God not the gospel.

Your initial logic isn't sound and now you are qualifying it unscripturally by your words alone. If it only takes belief, then they, the demons, believed. So, its not just belief that saves. And as I stated, im sure they have faith in Christ too, since they know he CAN do what he says. Then...

If you're suggesting that because the scripture says he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, then that means we're automatically in Christ, nullyfying the need to be baptized into the body of Christ as the scriptures say; then why would we have to do anything at all, like accept...

I'm not disputing that at all, but its imperative that we first do our part which is being obedient; once done, God will do his part, but not 'till we obey. We can't and don't save ourselves, nevertheless, we must do what's required/commanded of us which some erroneously term "works".

Just read the words of scripture, believe and follow them. That's all 'ya got to do. Believe anything else you like, but that won't change what they say.

By accepting Christ Jesus as Lord does NOT mean you're in Christ at that point. or place you in Christ. There's only one way according to scripture by which you can be "in Christ", and that's by baptism into him, which is his body consisting of other obedient believers. See below short study...

I have a few questions for you: Are you "in Christ"? Is it important to be "in Christ"? What does it mean to be "in Christ"? How does a person get to be "in Christ"?

I read the scriptures and can understand the words perfectly, and they don't say what you say, in fact, they say just the opposite. They are clear. You are not.

No denomination. I'm a Christian. And the reason I said that about Baptists should be evident. They don't believe baptism is necessary for salvation which contradicts many scriptures. Most Baptists say it's only for an outward affirmation to others of your belief or something like that, a...

"My church does not teach the false doctrine of baptismal regeneration" Your comment is in conflict with Titus 3:5 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

A couple points to make. The bible says baptism saves us, 1 Peter 3:21. So, what are we saved from? It's our past sins. So then, yes, you can have been initially saved at the time of your immersion, but that saving is not guaranteed thereafter nor a free license to do whatever you like or...

Why do Baptists call themselves 'baptists' but don't believe in nor abide by baptist scriptural, fundamental principles? Earn the very beginning principles of John was the "baptism of repentance for the remission of sins" which is very clear. It tells you what it is as well as what its for. I...
