OK.

Did you catch the "in whom" part of Eph 1:17? Salvation is out there, but it is of no effect to those who are not "in Christ".

OK, thanks.

The answer to "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?"? Yes, and I availed myself of the truth of it.

How does one determine which "forum" he is in? I was simply responding to a pointed question. Are you under the Law of Forums?

Is it now OK to steal from a neighbor?

No big deal. It is a verse. I wouldn't think that at all. I wouldn't jump to conclusions just because she had a bible exhortation on her visor. If the next day it read..."Remember, Don't steal."...I wouldn't think she was a thief either. I'ld ask if she always posted bible verses in her car...

That reminds me of the "grafted in" of Rom. 11.

Rom 7:4..."Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God." As both Jew and Gentile were freed from the Law by the body of Christ, both...

You will have to be a tad more specific.

I thank God for keeping the minds of fleshly minded men free to make the choice to believe in Him. I thank Him for not leaving me in the flesh, and for providing the means to walk in the Spirit instead. I was in the flesh when I first believed, and not long after I met a man who told me what to...

If I don't recognize what Christ did for me, it will not profit me it all. The death of Christ, (and His resurrection), are the keys of that verse, as my "faithful/believing" baptism into Him and into His death will provide my remission of past sins and the death and burial of my old man. That...

I am a man, and as ladies have no right to usurp authority over men, I wouldn't try to teach anything online if I were. That aside, If I found that note on my wife's visor, I would ask her why it was there, in hope that she would say..."I put bible verses up there all the time to keep my mind...

You may have missed the "Thanks be to God" portion of my post.

I would be puzzled. I would wonder who left the message first, and then, why.

By the will of God..."By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Heb 10:10) The sanctifying blood is applied to us when we are crucified with Him at our "immersion" into Christ and into His death and burial. (Rom 6:3:7)

Yes, I did. God supplied the means of humanity's redemption before I was born. While I was unredeemed. But if I ignore the attraction of God and of Jesus Christ, I will be lost. There are still plenty unredeemed people in the world, despite what God has provided.

The warnings, admonitions, and exhortations have been highly successful so far. Thanks be to God.

If a man says he is a believer, but goes and kills someone, was he really a believer? How about if he tells a lie? Commits adultery? Steals? By getting converted, (saved), sinners become ex-sinners.

Why did you include..."and by no means clearing the guilty", in your post? Obviously the guilty must do something "to be cleared". And now, thanks be to God, we can.
