    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    As a believer, should I go on to good works? Absolutely! But not out of necessity or because I have to, but because I get to in light of what Christ has done for me. But it doesn't come automatically throughout one's life. The believer needs to be discipled in the word of God to find out the...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Yes, his life, his resurrection. That's the power of God demonstrated. Christ's resurrection completed the work for our salvation. We don't believe that he just died for sins, but was resurrected.

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Yes, at the judgment seat of Christ the believer's works will be judged for rewards, never for salvation. Some might have their works burned, but will be saved. They will receive no rewards.

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Israel and the body of Christ are not the same nor does God treat us the same. There is a lesson Paul is teaching. We will not get away from committing such sin. We're not cast out of the body of Christ for we've got something better than OT Israel. 6 Now these things were our examples, to...

    And yet, no evidence to prove your statement above. Fit your theology based upon scripture and not a denomination. We must rightly divide the word of truth.

    Adding your words in bold... Romans 10: 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, and live a life doing what he says, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Funny thing is that salvation is not mentioned in Acts 2:38. The question being asked is, "What shall we do?" The question is being asked by a group of people within a nation to whom a national message has been addressed, in regards to their RULER - You can read Romans - Philemon back into the...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    These false teachers led the believers astray. Their faith was overthrown, nevertheless, they were sealed by the Holy Spirit. They are in Christ. Once in Christ, you stay in Christ. The Lord knows who are his even when we go astray. 2 Timothy 2: 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Just because baptism is not mentioned every time the way to salvation is mentioned, that doesn't mean it wasn't an essential part of the process. That's just the nature of the way humans use language.

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Humans didn't write the bible, but the Holy Spirit through men. Time and time again, when Paul speaks about the gospel of Jesus Christ, water baptism is not mentioned at all. Rightly divide the word of truth. Israel was commanded to be baptized in preparation for their promised Messiah. It...

    Was lucifer an archangel before he fell in the Bible?

    From a friend: Why I believe this also refers to Satan, the power behind the king of Babylon: 1. There are angelic beings (both good and bad) which seem to be connected with earthly, political persons. a. In Daniel 10, Daniel meets the angel Gabriel, who describes having been in a war with...

    Was lucifer an archangel before he fell in the Bible?

    Let me begin here. Right now, there are four Cherubs around God's throne. Revelation 4:6 "And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like...

    There Are Not Two Gospels — Peter and Paul Preached the Same Message

    Have you ever heard of progressive revelation? The entire bible is written for us, but not all of it is written to us. Do you not believe that directions for man have changed throughout the course of human history? What God gave to Noah to obey was not the same directions he gave Abraham to...
