Looking that one up made me hungry for a cracker. lol

Why should I learn from you what grace means since you believe one 'can personally can have whatever rule they want',. Besides, you don't even know my view of grace, you are just assuming..

I won't consider you a parrot if you at least tell me where I can find this rule in Scripture "You must learn to express the meaning of the word Grace when you repeat scripture." It's fine using Scripture, so long as it is used with precision... something that comes with study and guidance of...

That's a strange rule, where do I find that in Scripture. Jesus quoted lots of Scripture, especially when confronted by satan. (psst, satan hates God's Word) I wish you would at least use some Scripture. Do you know one? That's a good one. :)

Could you kindly define 'faith' and 'believe' by highlighting the difference between the two? This verse says faith does save us. Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Salvation is offered freely to all, received by faith alone in the form of an empty hand of a beggar.

I'm not worthy. That's the essence of grace... unmerited favor. Even Paul considers himself unworthy... 1 Corinthians 15:9 BSB For I am the least of the apostles and am unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

John 5:24 BSB Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

That is something God does to His sons. (Heb 12:6). Not our department.

I said "We are saved by grace alone through faith alone." That means my faith is in Christ alone..not in myself. No one will or can save me or anyone but Christ alone. He is faithful to complete what He began. (Philipians 1:6)

And here I thought God is not willing any should perish... 2 Peter 3:9 KJV The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

So, how is one saved except by grace alone through faith alone?

Not just my opinion but also it's Scripture... Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

I was baptized once in the ocean by a Southern Baptist pastor after I came to faith in Jesus and was baptized in the Holy Spirit but I have come to realize to put no confidence in the water part, but only in Jesus. 2Cor 5:7

Some even see it as a gift of the Spirit. How many times have you been baptized.

Thanks for your ’opinion’.

Still is unclear why the thief went unbaptized. Also, does this mean one must speak in tongues in order to be saved? Again the thief didn't.

Waiting...Oh yes I had added this... "I don't believe something unless I see it plainly taught in Scripture, it's just that simple :) "

It may be simple to understand, but do you have Scripture proving that 'water baptism changed after the cross'? I don't believe something unless I see it plainly taught in Scripture, it's just that simple :)

Thief on the cross: "wait Lord, not today, I still have to be baptised"
