The apostles and prophets did not write in Olde English.

Hearts purified by faith. Acts 15:9 sin cleansed by confession. 1 John 1:9. If they don’t agree with this, they don’t know their own denomination. “The Baptist Faith and Message” agrees with me, every Baptist rule of faith that I know of agrees with me, and most important the Bible teaches...

Nowhere in the Bible does it say not of works alone. I like what Luther said. “ We are saved by faith alone, but faith is never alone”.

We are saved by faith alone, but living faith works by love. (Galatians 5:6)

Sins are cleansed through faith alone in salvation. Sins are cleansed through confession of sin after salvation. Every Baptist i've ever met believes this way, and I've been a baptist for going on 34 years. There may be fringe baptists that believe otherwise, but it would be a very. very, very...

Baptists do not believe that baptism is necessary for salvation. Salvation is by grace through faith. Baptism is part of following the example and teachings of Jesus after one believes and is saved. The church was called not only to make converts, they were called to make disciples. That is...

Sanctification is a progressive work in a believer.

Faith without works is dead and works without faith are dead works. Without faith it is impossible to please God, so you can do good works as a non-believer, but they don't make you pleasing to God. Our best works are filthy rags. Only the work of Christ and works that are sanctified by Him are...

But without faith it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6) So you can do good works without faith, but you will not be pleasing to God. Our righteous deeds are filthy rags until sanctified by Jesus.

Crystal clear.

Yes, the grace of God is intended to produce holy work. Titus 2:11-15

I do not believe in sinless perfection, but I do have the desire to be sanctified through and through. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 IF entire sanctification means absolute sinlessness, I reject it. If it means loving God with all that is in me, then it is a worthy thing to pursue. Though I have...

I would not shut states down or churches or mandate vaccinations or encourage those who don’t get vaccinated being fired though. I would ask people to stay home if sick and practice social distancing when possible. And work on a better vaccine and look for actual treatments instead of putting...

Yes. I would be doing that right now.

I’m not anti-vax. If people want to get it, get it. If they don’t, then they should not be forced to. People get the vaccine and then tell others to get the vaccine so that their own vaccine MIGHT work. Need to keep working and try to get something better, IMO.

When people (ie government, government agencies, and media) lose (destroy) their own credibility, it’s not paranoid to distrust them. I’m as angry as a wet cat about what they have done and are doing. It’s up to them to heal their credibility. But that would require a full 180 degree...

Sorry this happened to you. Praying for full restored health for you and protection for your family. I am 100 percent for in agreement with some degree of social distancing and people staying home if you’re symptomatic. I feel this is the most important steps to fight the virus.

The main reason I haven’t gotten the vaccine is because the government and media have no credibility. The entire year of 2020 was a real eye opener.

We were doing Zoom in 2020. Churches and schools opened back up fall of 2020. Seems like the statistics are the same whether open or closed down. I don’t think shutting things down does any good.

Depends on what state you’re in. Thank God I moved to rural Texas!
