In the 1 Corinthian 15 passage, Paul is explaining the gospel unto salvation and water baptism is nowhere to be found. That’s the point.

The gospel right here, no baptism mentioned. Don't you think if water baptism was an essential part of the gospel, Paul would have at least mentioned? The gospel is about preaching not dipping.... 1 Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you...

Baptized into what? Water? Nope. Christ? Yep 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

There is no water baptism in Romans 6. Baptism is not a synonym for water. Some people see water every time baptism is mentioned, and they see baptism every time water is mentioned. There are seven baptisms in the Bible. See (Matt. 3:10-13) for three of them. Baptize means to immerse, but not...

See post #4 and answer, has the end of the world come? Why or why not?

That eternal inheritance is still future. That's not salvation. Once they believed the gospel, they were sealed unto the day of redemption. The day of redemption is yet future. It is the adoption, the redemption of the body. It is when believers are finally conformed to the image of Jesus...

Stick with what scripture actually states.

Here's the audience: 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

They have been born again, made a new creature in Christ, sins are washed away, justified by the faith of Christ, have been predestinated unto the adoption, called sons of God, are now in Christ, part of the body of Christ, have the blessing of everlasting life, have the righteousness of God, etc.

This is not in scripture...anywhere... "Elect moral agents?"

If you do this, then I'll do that...choose. Jeremiah 18: 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I...

Of course, Paul is talking to those who are already saved. The Holy Spirit dwells within them.

The same must be true if you view scripture through the eyes of John Calvin.

Bingo! And that atonement is applied to those who believe.

Nope, the context of the meaning stays the same throughout the passage. World = fallen system of man The RCC doctrine of Calvinism is false.

The context of 1 John 2 is found within the text. John warns to stay away from the world...the same world that Christ died for... 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his...

Nice dance...

Scripture defines the world and Gentile believers are not part of it. Same chapter, context… 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of...

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Fro God so loved the world…

To whom is James written? Remember, James is answering the question: Can faith save him? Saved people should be doing works, but not always. Some have zero discipleship, no bible, no church, nothing...
