yeah its a popular saying but little to do with scripture. So following Gods will is the 'do' Well is this a set of commands..or firstly: John 6:40 KJV - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will...

People use phrases like 'the church of America' .. but its too nebulous. Its vague, a fog. What do they mean? All believers in America? Then how do they know what that large of a group are saying? If they mean the church as the institution of all churches in America.. then that entity is...

That was 20 years ago! So uhhh..... no. But good advice! 😉

This should address some objections to OSAS

He obviously had a human form as Jesus, and as you say with the human lineage through David. But there is never a point where He did not exist. He is the inheritor of promises and the unique Son of God.. but not created. Anyway...methinks we are saying the same thing in different...

Yeah.. Jesus was pre incarnate before being manifest in the flesh at the birth. All things were created through Him and in Him all things consist. He is not a created being. He is the Creator of beings.

yea its not the best interpretation.. just trying to get how He is never not God but still can say 'why hast thou forsaken me'. I like the better contextual point of Him speaking on fulfilling prophecy.

There are many who populate christian forums that believe water baptism saves. I think its getting more and more common.

Well, sometimes you get a rebellious whole nation or group, who get wiped out for their rebellion, so there is that. But God would warn them, through their leaders what would happen if they did not trust Him. So they would still get the message. I believe God gives everyone a chance. How that...

God doesn't HAVE to have another person show someone the gospel..He is more powerful than that

God shows Himself to everyone to give everyone a chance. Through His creation..His invisible attributes can be seen. He doesn't HAVE to have someone talk to them.

Agreed! It is He who keeps that state of grace for the one who believes in Him. The object of the belief sustains the salvation.

That salvation is through Jesus Christ By believing on Him

That a sinner, by the will of the Father...convicted by Jesus, place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, who will give them eternal life through the Holy Spirit indwelling them, sealing them for eternity. John 3:16, John 5:24, John 6:40, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10

One being, in three substances. Forsake ... doesn’t mean Jesus no longer being God ..or that the Father had left Him. Jesus was crying out in pain, taking on the full weight of sin. In this He would have felt.. I think.. in his humanity.. alone in it. But the main point is He was quoting...

blasphemy was committed by non believers in scripture..rejecting who Jesus is to begin with. Attributing His work to the devil

Repent is a 'change of mind, heart'... not a work of effort in reducing sin before being born again. It's going from unbelief in Jesus...to belief in Him. Then the object of the belief...Jesus..as God.. sets your sin slate clean by His payment for your sin. Reducing sin comes in the daily...

John 3:4 KJV - Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Flesh is flesh, Spirit is Spirit. Flesh was what being born of water is compared to in this passage. That is what Nicodemus meant.. being born of the mothers womb. Jesus did not correct Nicodemus but added being born again by the Spirit. The comparison that water does not equal amniotic fluid...

Yea, no one is saying don't get water baptised. But to know that it is something you do because, 'for' the fact of already being saved eternally. You don't have to do it as part of salvation, but it is the right thing to do after salvation. That is what early Christians did. Straight away...
