I’m not sure I understand correctly, but is the problem you are having about what to believe in—Christ or the gospel? If so, then, maybe Acts 8:36-37 will help clear that up. Phillip the evangelist told the Ethiopian eunuch that if he “believed” , he could be baptized. And the eunuch...

I was meaning to reply to this post but my answer did not appear here.. I did something wrong (not sure what). But if you would please, read post # 32. It was meant to be an answer to your thoughts here. Thank you and I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

look closely—you will NOT find the word “ALONE” in a single one of those scriptures. The word “alone” is put there by men. That makes it a man made doctrine. Jesus says in Matthew 15:9 that teaching the doctrines of men makes your worship of Him VAIN OR USELESS. There is a huge...

I do not believe once saved/always saved is taught in the Bible and here is why. Please read these scriptures: Exodus 32:33-God will BLOT OUT OF HIS BOOK THE NAME OF THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST HIM. 1 Chron. 28:9- we can be “cast off.” Lamentations 5:11, 16- we can be rejected. Acts 8:20-24- a...

It really makes no difference to the message of the Bible whether Mark 16:16 needs to be included or not because the truth of Mark 16:16 is the same throughout the New Testament. Jesus commanded baptism in His last words to His disciples in Matt 28 :18-19 just before His ascension into heaven...

2 John 2:19 ifs talking about the “antichrist “ who deny that Jesus is the Son of God. See verses 18 and 22. The word “They” in verse 18 refers to the antichrist who are the ones who have left. Who are the “us” in verse 19? The “us” are the apostles. Read chapter 1:1-3- “That…which WE ( the...

One mistake: 3rd paragraph, line 8 should read “passes judgement on Simon, not Peter. My mistake . Sorry.

So, I quoted Mark 16:16- the words of Jesus. You quoted John 3:18. Is your verse suppose to “cancel out” my verse? Does your verse prove my verse to be “untrue?” Are you saying the Bible teaches conflicting doctrines? Or that the Bible has contradictions in it? What exactly are you saying...

No scripture teaches that everyone “HAS” the blood of Christ. It doesn’t even make sense. If we already have it, then we don’t have to do anything—not even believe. Where is the scripture that says this? If you don’t have Bible for this then it is just your “opinion.”

The only problem with this is that there is no scripture that even “hints” of this. The best scripture that explains it is Roman’s 6:3-4. Verse 5 says when we are baptized into His death, we are UNITED with Him in His death. That’s where the blood is—in His death. That is the only place we...

Christ’s blood has been SHED for the entire human race, but that doesn’t mean everyone has it. If that were true then no one would be lost because it’s the blood of Christ that removes our sins. And not everyone has had their sins removed.

I applaud your sincerity and your honest heart. I, too, am very sincere in what I believe but we are probably not in agreement on “faith alone.” Please let me show you, by the scriptures, why. None of the verses most people quote about faith have the word “alone” in them. That is supplied by...

You left out the REAL work of the Spirit in John 16:7. He is called the “HELPER”. Verse 8 says that when He comes, 1) He will convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. To “convict” means to “expose” or “bring to light.” SO He will EXPOSE sin, righteousness and judgement. 2) He...

Is it at the point of faith? Satan would have you believe that’ faith” is the “end”, when actually, it is the beginning. Is it when we repent? When we actually “confess” Christ seems like a good place We know Jesus shed His blood in His death on the cross. Romans 6:3, God says, Or do you...

Perhaps you don’t believe that suicide is self murder and will cause a person to lose their soul. (Murderers will not inherit the kingdom of God.) Perhaps you believe in “once saved, always saved” or the impossibility of apostasy. If you do, then you and I are not in agreement. The...

I believe I was perfectly clear in describing the difference between judging Matthew 7:20-“Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you CAN IDENTIFY PEOPLE BY THEIR ACTIONS.” Perhaps you should read the words from other translations. BTW, this verse is not talking about the...

I believe I was perfectly clear in describing the difference between judging “works” as is stated in Matthew 7:20 and judging “hearts” as is condemned in Matthew 7:1 Perhaps you are the one confused about this?

And yet, John 17:12 Jesus says He did lose one—Judas. Jesus is talking about the 12 disciples. After talking about the 12 disciples whom God gave Him, He THEN talks about disciples in general who will be converted by their preaching in verse 29.

yes, I did based on the fact that they turned their backs on God and the Bible and lived a sinful life. God says we can know them by their “works.” We ARE able to judge “works”. But saying they were never saved in the first place ( which is what you say) is judging their HEARTS, their...
