I have some questions to ask in regards to these two scriptures: Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a...

Hi Gideon, You said, "The minister preached on the "Jesus plus" gospel that has been common since the earliest days of the church. To claim that someone is not saved unless they are baptized in water is a "Jesus plus" gospel and is false." Let me ask you two questions: What is the gospel and...

Hi, Komentaja, There are four interesting facts that can be gleaned from Matthew 28:19-20! First before anything else, they must become a disciple. A disciple is one that wants to learn. Second, we see that Jesus commanded them to baptize the disciples that they were teaching. This means...

If the one baptism is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that remains and all of the rest of the 7 baptisms are null and void, what do you do with Matthew 28:19-20? Wayne

Hi Blade, In the Bible it lists 8 different baptisms. In Ephesians 4:5 in 61 to 63 AD, about 30 years after the church started, that there was one baptism. Blade, what baptism was it and how do you know, scripturally what baptism it was? Thanks, Wayne

Good afternoon I have some questions to ask. FIRST Ephesians 4:4-6, written around 61-63 A.D., states: There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 - one God and Father of all, who is over all...

Hello, Ephesians 4:4-6 says there is one baptism. Paul wrote to the Ephesians in 61 to 63 AD which was about 30 years after the start of the church. Matthew 28: 19-20 tells us four things. First, Jesus tells us that we're supposed to make disciples. Second, Jesus tells us to baptize them...

Hi mailman, I read through your thoughts concerning faith to Lamar. I would like to ask you. A couple of questions concerning two things: Hope and Faith. We gain. A hope on the basis of knowledge we have received. and we trust In the knowledge, we have received and therefore we have a hope...

Hi Mailman, All you said makes sense when you use an unscriptural definition of believe. Just so you know, when the KJV was being translated into English, they used the word faith. The English word Faith does not have a verb and so they used another English word : believe, believing...

righteousness Romans 11:6 is correct. In Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of works which we have done in righteousness , but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, There are two types of works: There are "works of righteousness" which...

Concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote in about 61 to 63 AD in Ephesians 4:5 that there was one baptism. This was written 30 years after the start of the church and about 21 years after Cornelius and his household were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:5 does not say what...

Those folks that do not believe that baptism has no part in our salvation would never just ask a person to read through the book of Acts. Why, because in the 50 years or so since I became a Christian, I never had one person who wanted to become a Christian and that read the book of Acts with...

CONTINUATION OF PREVIOUS POST: When I was 26 years old, I did not believe in God. The janitor of the building where I worked had become a good friend of mine and one day he asked me if I would like to come to his home for a Bible study. I liked him and didn’t want to disappoint him. So I...

Grace, I read your thoughts concerning water baptism. I have been involved in leading people to Christ for the past 53 years. When they ask, "What must I do to be saved? I simply tell them to read the nine conversion stories in the book of Acts. ALWAYS, in the past 53 years, in every...

It is very interesting! Those who do not believe one must be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins and to receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit, have to lead a person to that conclusion. So many times, when a person has asked me what he needs to do to become a Christian, I point him to the...

Dear Grace, For a long time, I believe in two baptisms and could not understand Ephesians 4:5, Then I decided to try to figure it out, the following PDF is a result of the study. I pray that this will be a blessing to you, too. Wayne

Hello again JBTN, Thank you so much for your answer. When I first became a Christian, the preacher told me that if I wanted to know "accurately" the truth, there were seven rules that help us to do that. They are: 1. We need to know who is speaking in the Bible: Is it God, fools, the...

Mailmandan, Thank you for all the work you did in explaining your understanding of hope and faith. If I may, I would like to offer a few other thoughts concerning hope and faith. Hope comes when you gain knowledge of something. You trust the knowledge you have received, whether the knowledge...
