    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    Wow!! You really believe the Lord considered his disciples unsaved” individuals?! Because my contention and objection to the “sinner’s prayer from my very first post was that it is being taught to un-saved people as a means to salvation. Have never talked about every prayer in the Bible. in...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    Thank you. Titus 3:5 is a perfect re-iteration of Acts 2:38. ...be baptized ( the washing of regeneration) for forgiveness of sins and you shall receive the GIFT of the Holy Ghost ( renewing of the Holy Spirit).

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    Was God not capable of giving us a book that could be trusted? Or did he just not CARE enough about us that he would mis-lead us with passages that were “watered down by Anglicans”. Your irreverent attitude toward Gods word is truly sad. I see you do Not believe 2 Timothy 3:16. Where God says...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    The sinner’s prayer, as I have seen it presented in several “tracts” from several denominations, has always been taught as a way to be saved from your sins. It’s their “plan of salvation”. It’s teaching people that they can be “saved” by just saying a prayer. That is the part with which I...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    P It seems to me I see a trend here (on this site) among several comments that if a passage in the Bible contradicts your belief and you can’t explain it or answer it, then try to discredit it by casting doubt on its veracity or authenticity. For example, I have heard that there are problems...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    You say we are saved by belief (alone) but you also say that Holy Spirit baptism saves people. How is that possible? If Spirit baptism saves people then they cannot be saved by faith alone. Are they saved when they believe or are they saved by Spirit baptism? You would do better to keep to the...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    Ephesians 4 says ther is only “one” baptism. You would have us believe there are TWO—Holy Spirit baptism AND water baptism. Actually, in the scriptures there are 5 baptisms mentioned. But I believe what he is meaning in Ephesians 4 is that there is only one that saves. Holy Spirit baptism was...

    Faith is a work.

    One of my favorite passages on faith is Hebrews 11:6- “without faith it is impossible to please him”. These are all very good scriptures and very true. But if by these scriptures you are implying that belief is ALL you have to do then you are wrong. Just in case you hold to a “faith only”...

    Faith is a work.

    Yes. That is exactly what Paul said in Acts 22:16. He was baptized “...calling on the name of the Lord”. “In the name of” also means “by the authority of”. Like “Stop... in the name of the law!!” But I agree that His name is above ALL names.

    Faith is a work.

    Yes. I AGREE. I ONLY OMITTED THAT PART OF THE VERSE BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT BAPTISM BEING FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS AND NOT REPENTANCE. BUT YOU ARE ABSOLUYELY RIGHT ABOUT THE NAME OF JESUS BEING VERY IMPORTANT. Matthew says in the great commission that we are to be baptized in...

    Faith is a work.

    If what you say is true, then why didnt Peter say “Repent everyone of you for the remission of sins and be baptized”? It would have been just as easy to say it that way. But he didn’t. Because that would have given a whole different meaning to the verse. He said repent and be baptized for the...

    Faith is a work.

    The Holy Spirit was given to the gentiles in Cornelius’s house as a sign that God had granted them salvation just like he did to the Jews. They were the First gentile converts. Peter says the gentiles received the gift of the Holy Ghost just like we (the Jews) did at the beginning. He was...

    Faith is a work.

    I see no problem here with what I believe about baptism. I’m not sure what your point is or what you are trying to prove. This baptism was John’s baptism. John’s mission was to prepare the people for the Christ. His baptism WAS a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. It was temporary...

    Is the “Sinner’s Prayer” in the Bible?

    Reasons to be baptized: You put on Christ in baptism- Galations 3:27 You are baptized into his death (where the Blood of Jesus is). Romans 6:3 You are united with Christ Romans I seriously doubt that it would make any difference to those opposing baptism for salvation if Jesus himself had...
