In 2 Timothy 2:19, The scriptures talk about “rightly dividing the word of truth. Many misunderstandings arise from not knowing how to divide the Bible. The first division we need to understand is the distinction between the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the Old Testament we learn...

Yes. I totally agree with these verses of the Bible. I might add that there is only 1 baptism that is recognized in the scriptures for salvation, and that is water baptism —not Holy Spirit baptism. Holy Spirit baptism was never commanded for everyone. It was given to a few people in the...

Yes. All of God’s word is beautiful but especially the Psalms. I love them, too

Sorry. That was a typo. I definitely AGREE with these scriptures.

Amen!

ANEN!

Well, I at least agree with the last sentence, that scripture must harmonize with scripture, but fail to see how faith only harmonizes with “not” by faith only in Jas.2:24 or baptism does not save with “baptism saves” in 1 Pet. 3:21.

Acts 10 is about the conversion of the first Gentile. Before this, the gospel of Christ had not been preached to the gentiles. This story compares in some ways to the first gospel sermon preached to the Jews on the day of Pentecost. Chapter 11: 15 Peter says the Holy Spirit fell on them as it...

Yes. The Bible teaches that Baptism saves: Acts 2:38, Mark16:16, Acts 22:16, I Peter 3:21. So that is what I believe.

And yet Jesus said in Mark 7:21-23 that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord “ will be saved. Is this a contradiction? No. It’s just that you have isolated ONE verse and Have limited it to ONLY. THIS. God did not put the word ONLY. IN THIS VERSE. yes, God wants us to believe and confess but...

Saul “got up and was baptized”. YOU DONT DECIDE to have Holy Spirit baptism OR EVEN TO HAVE THE Holy Spirit come upon you. That is not up to you. But water baptism is. That is the only kind of baptism this could be. Can you imagine people just deciding on their own when and where they are...

Water baptism is something you choose to do. You don’t choose to have Holy Spirit baptism. It was given by God and was never a general command for everyone.

There is nothing in this passage to suggest that this was Holy Spirit baptism. In fact,Acts 2:38 says they recieved the Holy Spirit by being baptized in water.

Very true.

Is that how it reads? The text is not hard to understand. I am asking questions. At which step or what point was Saul saved? When he talked to Jesus? Thus having a religious experience. Did Jesus say he was saved and didn’t need to do anything when he believed? Did he “pray through” to...

In Acts 9 we read about the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. We can learn a lot from his experience. (1) Saul, having received permission from the Jews in Jerusalem, was traveling to the city of Damascus to arrest any Christians he might find there. He was known for his persecution of Christians...

Just my opinion, but this is ridiculous!! If God tells us to believe, then he expects us to DO it. This is silly “human reasoning”.

You seem to be one of the few people on this site that. Understands that.

James 2:22- faith together with works.
