May I ask where you learned that? I don't agree. My past sins were, as Peter said, were remitted at my baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38) You don't think men born after the crucifixion can have their sins remitted? I am so glad you are wrong about that...

I guess it depends on what you call a Christian. Rejecting water baptism will not allow one to cast off the flesh, bury it, or be raised with Christ to walk in newness of life. (Rom 6:3-7)

Would that be the truth Jesus said could free me from committing sin? John 8:32-34..."And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them...

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I believe it means, according to you or your teachers, that anything said to the Jews doesn't apply to Gentiles. I can't agree, as Jesus tore down the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile. It is written..."For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of...

Agreed. You will need to stack that belief alongside the words of Rom 6:4..."Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." Newness of life, after our death and...

If I actually refused to put my faith in Him and His works, I would still be a sinner and without hope in this wicked world. I would still be a servant of sin and free of the truth. If obeying Jesus, and His apostles, is "glorifying myself", what are the folks who disobey Him doing?

As it is written..."Faith cometh by hearing..." (Rom 10:17) I heard about it. We don't agree on that. It is also proof of a real turn (repentance) from sin. That is what Peter said in Acts 2:38..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ...

I can't agree that verses of the bible make a mockery of the bible. You will need to be more precise. ??? Amen to that, and the end product is not a man who continues to be unjust and wicked.

Is God's command to not kill, lie, commit adultery, or steal in your conscience? If it is, the Law of God is in your heart. What is so hard to understand bout that? 1 John 1:5 says what the light is..."This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light...

? Agreed, but we are in Him too. I have never questioned God. How about if I say that now cleansed of all past sins, in Christ, with the Holy Ghost in me, reborn of God's seed, am perfect? How about if I say that I am in Christ with sin on me? Which statement can be true and which statement...

Paul preached the first step first, the gospel, before the second and third steps, repentance from sin and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Step one before anything else. Nothing except that that is when the body of Christ was told how to have their past sins...

You may not realize it, but you have a doctrine that introduced sin into Christ. That is not possible.

Yes, "hope" means "hope". And in 1 Thes 5:8 that hope is of salvation. Why would he have us hoping for something we already had?

They get baptized for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38)..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." They get baptized to kill the old man. (Rom 6:6)..."Knowing...

Is this in the bible?..."Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." (1 Cor 15:34) This?..."Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the...

Hardly, as one can't happen without the other. By the grace of God, men can remain true to both their consciences and to the law of God. (I'm not talking about circumcision, and dietary, and labor, and feast keeping regulations.)

I agree. And both are mentioned by Peter in Acts 2:38..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." One baptism done by men and the other done by God. Both necessary...

Wow, I never expected to hear that from anyone. It is written..."For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also...

So are Peter's. And James'. And John's. We are all members of that body, if we are obedient to God. It is the excuse you supplied that accommodates sin.
