    Water baptism is not for the body of Christ

    Acts 2:38 does not mention water. Why would you add "water" to a verse that does not mention water? What do you think provides greater salvation? Water or the accomplished works of Jesus Christ? Those accomplished works are summed up by the phrase, the name of Jesus Christ. If the name of...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    Are you suggesting that we, as the body of Christ do not have to put God first? That we can serve idols and God is ok with that? Is that what you are saying? Are you suggesting that we do not have to love God or our neighbors? Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for...

    On the omniscience of God

    If it is true, then why the "but?" Knowing the future does not mean that the future is already determined. God himself makes allowances for people to change their mind. Thus every time we change our mind and take another course of action, our future changes. Of course, God is...

    What was the appearance of the three [LORD,lords] who visited Abraham.

    Well, I appreciate you sharing your opinion. There are lords many and gods many. 1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) Calling someone LORD is simply acknowledging their superiority and authority to...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    To receive anything from God, specifically, God's promises, we must put forth some effort. That is our part of the promise, we must do our part. God will do his part, when we believe to do our part. For instance, Matthew 6:33 where God promises that "all these things shall be added to you"...

    On the omniscience of God

    Knowing (foreknowing) the future is not the same as determining the future. Most people, including myself, could say with great certainly that the sun will rise tomorrow. However, in no way could anyone logically, or reasonably conclude that I am determining, ( being the cause of) the...

    Are you born again (John 3)? Take this test.

    Believing that God raised Jesus from the dead is non negotiable. Romans 10:9. If that is a problem for many, oh well, No gift of salvation for them. Did you have a problem with that? After some thought, I did not have a problem with it. Anyone and everyone who meets those two conditions...

    Are you born again (John 3)? Take this test.

    Yes, that is one of the two conditions of Romans 10:9. Until both are done, the salvation is not received

    Are you born again (John 3)? Take this test.

    Romans 10:9 is plain as day. If you meet the two conditions, you are saved. Or as it is called in other places, born again of incorruptible seed, received the gift of eternal life, etc. John 3: 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the...

    Are you born again (John 3)? Take this test.

    Because of the finished works of Jesus Christ, all that anyone has to do to become born again, saved, is do what Romans 10:9 requires. 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, thou shalt be saved. Having...

    God is one.

    Oh, I read it. It is clear what it states. Genesis 1:9-10 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God...

    God is one.

    Because the Lord God is superior and antecedent to His son. The son of the Lord God, ie. the Father, is the lord Jesus Christ, the son is derived, inferior and subordinate to the Lord God. There are things that contain only one component. One Bible is composed of one Bible. That one Bible...

    God is one.

    My point is that we cannot assume that the word echad always means a plural of unity, we must look at each use of the word in the context in order to rightly divide what we are reading.

    God is one.

    Where was it gathered to? God says it was "gathered together unto one place." That one place is where, there is only one "where" to which it was gathered. One place. Not many places. One place. There is only one component involved in what was gathered to that one location, that one...
