Unfortunately, the Bible doesn’t teach that we are saved that way. That is a man-made doctrine. Look at how people in the book of Acts were saved and obey Jesus’s command in Mark 16:16.

yes, that’s a good one, too. They are ALL NECESSARY. Who, but Satan, would tell you not to worry about them?

You get saved just like the people in the book of Acts got saved. These are “God approved” examples of salvation. If God saved them a certain way—and you do what they did—wouldn’t God save you the same way? If the Bible is true and from God then yes, he will. You can turn to the Bible and...

God does not accuse nor condemn them for lying. He tells us exactly why they were lost in verse 22–“…you who practice LAWLESSNESS. They were doing things religiously “Without law” or without God’s authority to do them. Today, people don’t think it matters what you do as long as you are...

What scripture did you use that says “ to fall from grace means to fall from God’s power”? I don’t find that in the Bible.

Just as much as God requires. Whatever God says. God gives us the answer to the faith/works debate in James 2:22 Though I doubt that you will believe or accept what God says. He says that faith and works WORK TOGETHER to produce salvation. THAT is what I am saying, too. It’s not one or the...

The Bible does not contradict itself. So Ephesians 2 cannot contradict James 2:24. If your doctrine contradicts other passages in the Bible, Then there is something wrong with your doctrine. Both passages are inspired by God. Are you saying God was wrong in James 2:24? Do you think God made...

It’s hard for me to understand how I am “mixing and crossing verses and meanings “ when I am only QUOTING SCRIPTURE. It’s not for us to second guess God. He said His ways are NOT your ways. When God spoke to Moses and said, “I will blot him out of my book.” That seems pretty plain to me...

it’s not about Noah—it’s about how WATER is used as an agent in salvation. 8 souls were SAVED by water ( the flood)verse 20. Baptism is the ANTITYPE Which SAVES US. He is saying the waters of baptism SAVES US just like the waters of the flood saved 8 souls in the flood. An ANTITYPE in the...

I can only tell you what the scriptures say. I have quoted them most times word for word. If you don’t like the message of Paul in this book , you will have to take that up with him. I didn’t author it—I just pointed out his words—verse by verse. Paul said something else in this book—“Have...

Sorry. But the text speaks for itself. Paul begins by addressing the problem—those who desire to keep the old Jewish law -verse 21. These were Jews who had been converted to Christianity but like many Christians today, still wanted to keep and practice the law of Moses given at Mt. Sinai...

I can only tell you what the Bible says and Keturah is not in the allegory in Galations 4. The story of Hagar and Sarah is in chapter 21. Sarah dies in chapter 22. Hagar left back in chapter 21. Keturah does not appear on the scene until chapter 25. The allegory is only about the first 2...

The Allegory of the old Jewish law and New law of Christ with Haggar and Sarah. Galations 4:21-31 Paul starts out by saying that Abraham had 2 sons—one (Ishmael) by a bondwoman (Haggar) and another (Issac) by a free woman (Sarah). Sarah was Abraham’s wife. She was born free. But...

Yes, the old law has “vanished away” according to Hebrews 8:13. It has become “obsolete”. The New Testament is BETTER than the Old Testament. Hebrews 7:22 and 7:6. Therefore, He (God) took away the first (covenant) so that He could establish the second (covenant). Hebrews 10:9. The law has...

I don’t know what your point is with these verses, but the people in Matthew 7:21-22 are BELIEVERS who havre been very busy religiously. They have prophesied ( they say), they have done miracles, (they say), and according to them, they have done many WONDERS. We do not actually know if these...

Yes, it is called a “work of God” in John 6:28-29. Just like repentance, confession, and baptism. They are all things we “do” and they are all works of God because they came from Him and they are commanded by Him. You just want to eliminate them because it doesn’t fit your doctrine of “faith...

“Without faith it’s impossible to please God.” Hebrews 11:6. No one denies that faith is absolutely necessary to be saved. But we have to remember that James 2:24–not by “faith alone”- is necessary also; it’s almost as if God knew that Satan would use “faith” as a stumbling block to salvation...

By definition it’s “the called out”. Meaning called out of the world to be a special people to God. Titus 2:14 and 1 Peter 2:9. In the New Testament there was ONLY ONE. There were no denominations ( meaning divisions) for almost 600 years. The Catholic Church has the distinction (?) of being...

Verse 20 says that those people in the days of Noah were SAVED THROUGH WATER. Immediately, verse 21 says that the ANTITYPE to that, which now SAVES US IS BAPTISM. You are really grasping at straws to say that means we are only saved from a guilty conscience. Nonsense. Yes. Psalms 119:160...
