I guess Peter anticipated there would be unbelievers who argue about it being just a “bath.” So he says, “NOT THE REMOVAL OF THE FILTH OF THE FLESH.” That’s good enough for me. How about you?

The PURPOSE of the Holy Spirit was NOT TO SAVE them. Acts 10:45 says that when the Holy Spirit was poured out on Cornelius and his house, that the Jews were ASTONISHED because the Holy Spirit was given to GENTILES! Nowhere do the scriptures say that the Holy Spirit SAVED anyone. It was a...

Jesus is the one who called it a work—not me. You are contradicting the Son of God. I’d be careful if I were you. Who do you think people should believe?—you or Jesus? Talk about Boasting!!

It seems reasonable to me that any “work”required for salvation would be something that we must do. For example, besides faith which we all agree is necessary and Jesus has specifically said is a “work”, there is also “repentance” which is also something we should do. It is a requirement to be...

You know, the passage we are discussing—John 6:28-29–are Jesus’s words—not mine. So when you talk about “boasting” who are you talking about?? I certainly have nothing to “boast” about in quoting what Jesus said. So I guess you are accusing Jesus of “boasting.”

God made us “able to believe” when he created us at the beginning of the world. It’s called “intelligence.” We have been able to believe about anything—not just religious facts— since the creation. I’m afraid you are “grasping at straws.”

Yes, it is. But it is not the only work of God. Jesus asked the Jewish leaders if John’s baptism was from heaven or from men? They refused to answer but the answer Jesus was looking for is obvious—it was from heaven. It also was a work of God. Any thing that Jesus commands us to do is a...

Sorry, but that is NOT what that passage says. It is simple and plain. Anyone can understand it.

His commandments are in His “covenant” or law and that can be found in the Bible. 1 Cor. 2:16 says “we have the mind of Christ.” That’s why His Word is so important. He has told us all we need to know in His word. If you want to know what His commandments are concerning any Bible subject...

I think this is a little too harsh and perhaps not correct either. Luke 20:36 Jesus compares people to “the angels” which is only what gif1 has done. If Jesus can do it…..Also in Matt. 12:25 and Luke 20:36. Also, Satan and his helpers, the angels who sinned are no longer in heaven—God cast...

This is the WORK of God that you “believe.” Faith….a work.

It is definitely by God’s grace that we are saved. God’s Grace gave us His Son to die for our sins so that we could have salvation. —God’s Grace gave us the Bible and told us and showed us through it what we need to do and how to be saved. Yes, it is all because of the grace of God that we...

I have never heard anyone argue that baptism “ONLY” or baptism ALONE” saves you. Have you? I have always put it with faith just like Jesus did in Mark 16:16- “ He that BELIEVES and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED.” And Jesus puts salvation AFTER baptism—not BEFORE baptism like man made doctrines...

I don’t have to worry about that old Jewish law condemning me because I am not under that law. It has been replaced by the law of Jesus Christ. I don’t serve God under that law. Jesus took it out of the way and nailed it to His cross. Colossians 2:14. That old law died when Jesus died on the...

It is—but not by faith “alone.” I don’t see the word “alone” or “only” in that verse.

OR…..they are trying to teach you the truth and save your soul. The truth does not fear investigation…but ERROR does not like to be challenged.

Acts 8:22- repent and pray.
