The way to know you're saved is to trust God's word: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life ... John 3:36 (KJV) It's that simple. Every saved person's name is in the Book of Life.

That passage is talking about the body of Christ, not a local church. A person who is separate from the body of Christ is someone who has never been saved. I don't think a local assembly is ever referred to as a "body" in Scripture.

Amen!

It's possible that they got saved upon hearing Peter's account of Jesus (faith comes by hearing); they were "pricked in their heart". 'Repent' could be 'turning' from not being baptized to being baptized. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to...

' Eternal salvation for the sinner is the same in all eras of human history: by grace, though faith, not of works. That includes Hezekiah and the thief. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen 15:6 (KJV) And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify...

If you die before you get wet and have believed, your salvation's set

No. 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. Matt 7:22-23 (KJV) Though I...

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Prov 31:30 (KJV) Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress...

If Apollos' water was literal, then Paul would have to have been planting literal seed. Don't get him mixed up with Old McDonald. :-)

The Bible mentions neither. It comes from a manmade label machine.

Picking up a phone and calling a preacher takes work and time. What if you dropped dead before you got baptized; would you be in heaven or hell?

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Romans 9:16 (KJV) The "it" isn't the eternal salvation of an individual; it's the temporary setting aside of Israel for service. Paul could wish himself accursed for the sake of the Israelites until...

Started what again? Obligating Himself again, after finking on His first obligation? You're hypothesizing. The historical reality is that He SAID He would save people; and having said it, He obligated Himself to do exactly what He said. Of course He doesn't owe humanity anything because He...

Yes He is. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved". He either obligated Himself with that statement or He's a liar.

I agree with what you're saying.

I never said that.

Free from what? Here are some things the Bible doesn’t say: And deliver THE WILLS WHICH through fear of death were all their EXISTENCE subject to bondage no WILL can come unto me, except it were given unto IT of my Father If the Son therefore shall make YOUR WILL free, YOUR WILL shall be free...

A person has a will, but the person is not a will. Nor is the will a person.

There's no mention of "the will" in those passages.
