    Requirements of Salvation

    My post said this: Repentance: Strong's Hebrews ( H7725:שׁוּב ) to turn back, return, a wholehearted turning to God. (NOTE: The different way repent translates in Hebrew vs Greek. John wasn't speaking Greek, nor was he preaching to gentiles. Gentiles had no relationship, no covenant, no hope &...

    Requirements of Salvation

    I have had other unfruitful water baptism discussions with you. Your position is water baptism is a salvation requirement. We disagree, out of respect to a brother Christian I'll briefly reply. In my opinion adding anything to faith in Christ sin payment & resurrection. Claims what Jesus...

    Living Water - Consuming Fire

    LIVING WATER John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (NOTE: Day 8, Feast of Tabernacles) John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    Webster's a great English dictionary. I think bible dictionary's are a better source for scripture. Matt 12: 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (NOTE: The Pharisees claim Jesus healing power is done...

    Is faith a specific gift of God given to the believer?

    The true gift of faith given to man is found in God's Son. John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. (NOTE: Jesus received an UNLIMITED measure of faith) Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man...

    Requirements of Salvation

    Verse 1 refers to Nicodemus as a ruler of the Jews. As a ruler of the Jews he would have been well versed in all Mosaic law mandated ceremonial water purification rituals/ablutions etc. In my opinion adding water baptism to Jesus exchange with Nicodemus is a mistake. Clearly we disagree on...

    3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

    Requirements of Salvation

    Hi, 1st thought, parsing the last vs you provided: Quote"Get up and be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on His Name". (NOTE: Clean yourself up in preparation to meet the Lord. Call on His name to have you sins washed away.) Ceremonial water purification rituals/ablutions/full...

    Being dipped/immersed in water without 1st being immersed/indwelt with Christ's Holy Spirit baptism, will only result in getting wet Beginning in Acts 10:44 Spiritual baptism is 1st & water baptism follows. The repent & be water baptized narrative isn't applicable for today's Church/Body of...

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    Hello, "Hashem Echad" God is One! The Hebrew word Echad translates One. However, echad/one, means UNITY not SINGULARITY. Echad examples: Deut 6:4, Gen 2:24 echad speaks about the husband & wife being ONE flesh. Husband & wife aren't a singular being. When joined they are in unity with each...

    Explain, "The unpardonable sin".

    Rom 3:23 all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (NOTE: Scripture proclaims that ALL are sinners) Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. NOTE: Bad news - Sins wage/sentence that we're all quilty of = DEATH. Good...

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    Scripture proclaims: The Father, Son & Holy Spirit are all God. Jesus is God: Isa 7:14 & 9:6, Micah 5:2, Matt 1:23, Jn 1:1 & 20:28, 1 Tim 3:16 Titus 2:13 Rom 9:5 Rev 1:8. Holy Spirit (alway's capitalized showing deity) is God: Ps 139:7-8, Acts 5:3-4 & 13:2, Eph 4:30, 1 Cor 2:10-11, 12:4-7, 2...

    Salvation, By Whom, When, To Whom & How

    Rom 1:16, 2:9-10: Salvation comes to every one that will believe. 1st to the jew, then to the gentile. Acts 2:4 (A) they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, (NOTE: Jews only received God's promise (Lk 24:49, Jn 7:38-39, Acts 2:33). The baptism with God's eternally sealing/saving, indwelling...
