What's funny is right after Peter says that, he says this:

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

It's wonderful that is not true for us!

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

All the more reason to get our instructions from Paul (1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJV) in the form of sound words of Romans through Philemon!

Ephesians 3:1-12 KJV, 2 Timothy 1:8-9 KJV, 2 Timothy 1:13 KJV, 2 Timothy 2:7-8 KJV

God is no respector of persons in the sense that he does not provide salvation for individuals based upon or according to who they are, our by what they have done, or by what they have become. Which is a direct contradiction of Catholicism and Calvinism or any religion that believes in salvation by works or meism.

Jesus Christ is the international savior. He provides salvation for the whole world, not just some individuals, 1 John 2:2. He is no respector of persons.

Very valid comments.

You are to spiritually blind to see it.

God loves all men and is not willing that any should perish, but we know that some will perish because they do not believe on the one whom God has sent.

Well it is invalid because the comments lack scripture support, so the comments invalidate themselves, I just acknowledge the same!

If Jesus himself came down from heaven and told you that you were wrong you would not believe him.

You won't get the message until it is to late.

Look up the word "Grace" in your dictionary.

Grace in the Bible means God's undeserved favor towards fallen man.

Your Calvinist God is not gracious. He is a mean, unjust, unmerciful, unrighteous tyrant, that delights in sending people to hell.

It is not humanly possible to have faith in your god.

This article should be the end of religion, but it won't be because people believe what they want to believe regardless of what the scriptures say.

There was only one person that God accepted into heaven, that was Jesus Christ. We are accepted only in him, simply because God is no respector of persons.

The Colossians were glorying in their Christian lives and Paul had to bring them back to the Gospel, so Paul said to them...

"If you have been risen with Christ then seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Set your effections on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God" Colossians 3:1-3.

"For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God". "Wait just a minute Paul. Do you mean that God did not chose me to be saved before the foundation of the world?" God is no respector of persons so the answer is NO.

God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ, Colossians 1:20. God chose all of humanity in his Son Jesus Christ, Ephesians 1:4.

When Jesus lived, we lived in him.
When Jesus died, we died with him.
When Jesus arose from to dead, we arose with him.
When Jesus ascended into heaven we ascended with him.

God now sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ. That beautifull sinless life that Jesus lived, that is your life. Paul was trying to get the Colossians to see that, this is why he said, "For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God". And again Paul was trying to get their eyes off of themselves when he said, "When Christ who is OUR LIFE , shall appear, then shall you appear with him in glory" Colossians 3:4.

God does NOTHING individually. All things are done in, by, and through Jesus Christ. "And he (Jesus) is before ALL THINGS and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:17. In the light of this no one has been predestinated (Calvinist). In the light of this no one can be saved by their personal holiness (Catholics). We are saved by being "In Christ". To be in Christ means that you are trusting in Christ alone for your salvation. It is NOT Jesus Christ plus your religion. It is Jesus Christ plus nothing.

Why will there be rewards given out on judgment day that will vary between people?

We will be judged according to what we have done with the Gospel and by what we have done in our flesh as a Christian, 2 Corinthians 5:10.

Wrong!! We will be judged by what we did with Jesus. That covers all the bases.

Ever consider yourself to be an gnostic? You should.

CrossR,
calm down. There isn't anything else to Jesus but the Gospel.

You're not thinking clearly, you're trying to "win" each post. Very bad way to operate. You'll be nose-hooked into anything that says the opposite of what you just read.

Only those who are baptized into the Body of Christ are baptized into His death:

"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death" (Ro.6:3-4).​

God the Spirit baptizes "individuals" into the Body of Christ.

That contradicts your idea. Are you willing to argue that those who have been baptized into the Body of Christ are not baptized "individually" into the Lord's death?

That is because you don't know Him __ and never will in your state of being.

Never mind my "thinking clearly". I possess a 'life' sustaining message. Do you? I don't think so.

Only those that have come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by him.

Salvation has been provided for all, but it must be received by faith, John 1:12.
