Grace has been evident since Noah. I guess Noah could have called his own situation a covenant of grace. Gen 6:8..."But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." I am certainly glad I did too But I just call it the New Testament.

We are not "in Him" until we are water baptized into Him. Rom 6:3..."Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?" Repentance from sin comes first. Acts 2:38..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of...

Is God your Father?

Just between me and you, perfection starts with a real, true, permanent, turn from sin. Then, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins. Do these things and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost...just as Peter said in Acts 2:38. Those who really turn from sin are...

Original sin is an invention by one sect. It is not true.

It seems you are glad about something besides not being a sinner. You can "reach perfection" on this side of heaven, and I don't mean 20-20 vision and good knees. I mean sinless.

Are you not glad we don't have to remain "sinners"?

May I please request some scriptures that say that God is doing the electing? Are you sure we aren't doing the electing...to follow Christ?

Thank God we can accept that grace. Thank God we can turn from sin.

Good question, especially in light of Jesus' remarks in Matt 7:21-23..."Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy...

I don't see why not to expect it.

The Law is over. If folks want to go on living under it, it is to no avail. It sure does, as no man will receive eternal life without being born again. (John 3:3) It could be looked at that way, but the Law is over. It has proven to be useless in procuring salvation. Those who say they are...

Paul spoke with Jesus on multiple occasions. Ananias did too. (Acts 9:10-11)

Though I don't consider it a parable, but history, I had never looked at it like you see it before. Thanks.

It just doesn't make sense. The Law ended for those who are dead to the Law. It is part of the divine nature of the reborn now. You keep saying there is no longer a separation between Jew and Gentile. But then use it as a reason for differentiating between what is required for each sect. You...

I don't know how you reconcile Paul's writings on grace eclipsing the NC/NT? They are the same thing. With the end of the Law, there was only one other covenant/testimony men could do/use for salvation. Repent of sin, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins past, and...

And when did the old dispensation end and a new one begin? At the resurrection of Christ from the dead. There were no believers in a risen Christ before there was a risen Christ. There were no believers "in Christ" before we could be baptized "into Christ and into His death and burial", (Rom...

It isn't written that he killed anyone but it is written..."Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 11 And I punished them oft in every...

His sin of persecuting the church made him the worst of sinners. And the least likely for mercy to convert. Acts didn't record it, true, but he died there anyway. Where was Pilate mentioned?

So do a lot of folks who say they are Christians. Who do you think will refuse the mark of the beast? He did, and by my acceptance of His worthy sacrifice, and my submission unto Him, I will prove beyond any doubt that I am a believer. Those who don't accept it or submit will be lost.
