Do you know about Paul’s “thorn in the flesh”?2 Corinthians 12:7-10 - “And lest I should be exalted above measure,..a thorn in the flesh was given to me. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord 3 times that it might depart from me and he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my...

We have a Bible example, approved by God and given by the Holy Spirit of what that “confession” is/-Acts 8:37, the eunuch said, just before he was baptized, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” That’s what He wants us to confess with our mouth. Matthew10:32, Jesus says if you...

Being in a right relationship with God is essential as we have already seen but there is more. (2). We must ask in FAITH. James 1:6 says, “But let him ask in faith with no doubting; for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (7) for let not that man suppose...

There are several reasons why your prayers may not be answered, according to the Bible. James is a good book to go to to study “why”. James 5:17 says the prayers of a “righteous” man avails much. So our first point is that you must be in a proper relationship with God. The righteous person is...

To take a law from the old testament book of Deuteronomy, that was given exclusively to the Jewish people—not any other nation—that was 1500 years before Christ came into the world, before Christ built His church; before there was ever SUCH a THING AS A CHURCH; before the word “Christian” was...

Very good point! Those who believe in salvation BEFORE BAPTISM should read Romans 6. Roman’s 6:6 explains that it’s the “old man of sin” that was crucified with Him. That’s why we are raised to a NEW life. It’s not burying a “live” man—it’s burying a man “dead” in his sins. We were...

It’s neither. And “confession” is believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God according to Acts 8:37, and 1 John 4:15. Not “declaring what has already happened in salvation. Question: if salvation is at the point of faith, what did Peter mean when he said baptism is for the remission of...

James 2:24- “…not by faith only.(alone).

If you have been saved the way people in the Bible were saved—before denominations of men began preaching “different” plans of salvation like the sinner’s prayer and”faith only,” and if you continue to be faithful to God, then you can be sure of your salvation. Read 1 John 5:13-“ I have...

Baptism is a “work” of God—just like “faith” is a “.work.” John 6:28-29. 2 Thess 1:11 and 1 Thess. 1:11. Jesus forever connects them together in Mark 16:16. The conjunction “and” joins things of EQUAL VALUE. That makes baptism of equal value as faith. They both originated with God—not man...

There is nothing in any of the scriptures you asked us to “compare” that says baptism is not necessary. Scripture does not CANCEL out other scriptures. You don’t disprove the necessity of baptism by using a scripture that says faith saves us -John 3:16- or that confession is necessary. Such...

Yes, Praise God, I am.

So what “authority are you using to teach that the word “save” in 1 Peter 3:21 does NOT mean “save”? Yourself?? Am I suppose to just believe you over what God has said? I don’t think so. And even if I should agree that the word there means “deliver”, then deliver from WHAT? Deliver from...

Romans 6, verses 3 & 4 says we are baptized into His “death”. That’s what we enter into. Where did Jesus shed His blood?? In His death. This is the only place where we can come into contact with the blood of Jesus that cleanses us of our sins. This is why Peter says Baptism saves us. This...

In John 3, When Jesus said we must be born of water and the Spirit,, He was talking about a spiritual new birth —not a physical one. This harmonizes perfectly with Acts 2:38 where Peter told them that they must be (water) baptized to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Those 3000 Jews were...

I can show you multiple scriptures where God says that baptism saves us. Please show me just one scriptures that says it does not. And just using a verse that says we are saved by faith is not the same thing as saying we are not saved by baptism. 1 Peter 3:21 says that baptism saves us. Now...

I don’t know how you were saved, but I do believe there is a “right” way to be saved and a “wrong” way. If you depend on men and denominations to tell you what to do, you will likely get the wrong answer. If you find your answers from the Bible, written by the Holy Spirit directly from God...

Paul and Silas were in a Roman jail. It was about midnight, and they had been praying and singing hymns to God. The other prisoners were listening to them. How much the jailer actually heard is uncertain because he was asleep when an earthquake shook the foundations of the prison and...

Acts 8:35-38 is an example of how a person was saved in the New Testament. When Phillip “preached Jesus” to the eunuch, he believed what Phillip said and asked to be baptized. Wonder how he knew about baptism??? It would have had to have been in the gospel that Phillip taught him. Phillip...
