@Musicmaster If I may, Paul uses the same technique in Romans when talking with the Jews. "confess with your mouth" is used by most believers today for salvation. But it has everything to do with the Shema prayer and the Jews. Paul was using their traditions of their daily chant Of...

Thank you sir. This is a well written and thoughtful response. And replacement theology of any kind is abhorrent IMO. But you know there is a "but" coming. The Jew should have KNOWN what their tradition of baptism was about and what it pointed to...."Have you not heard?" Acts 5:31 31 “He is...

I agree. It is getting so bad that they would rather see people starving. I haven't heard ONE idea from the left to make America prosper. Just rants about the one trying to make America prosper.

BINGO. Yep, there is corruption at every level. But America is capitalism. If it is a corrupt private enterprise.....The PEOPLE can bankrupt, prosecute and put them in jail. If the Government is corrupt? Well, we can all see how that works out. The left and liberals put their faith in the...

Irony much?

There is a treasure trove of fruit and growth in the links that he provided. Sometimes true gifts aren't packaged in the nice little wrappings we expect.

If we want the truth, it's going to take a lot of study. If we want our truth, it's easy.

To be honest, there is still a dilemma. I believe salvation has always been the same. And only one way........ Faith alone in Christ alone. It was in the "shadows and types" with Israel. And Paul brought it into the LIGHT for all to see.

Acts 5:31 31 “He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 10:43 43 “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

@Musicmaster Don't get me wrong, your doctrine is as close to mine as you can get. From what I have read. But 2 different ways of salvation? That's a tough one for me.

Why is baptism left out in, "but he that believeth not shall be damned?"

This is precisely what I think and have mentioned a couple times. Peters message to the Jews was faith alone in Christ alone. He just used their well known practices and traditions to bring them to the POINT of it all.

Exactly. If the Government would keep their dirty hands out of it. There would have been no bail outs, many companies would have gone under and MANY would be in jail.

Maybe you can help me out. The drug companies do the research and foot the bill......Risk and reward type of thing. But it is such a rabbit hole anymore with the government involved. I wish we could go back to private everything. Consumers can bankrupt the corrupt. Entrepreneurs can compete...

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. From here we see the slow and methodical fall of Israel. Faith...
