When I was a new Christian, I used to be confused about which laws to keep in the Bible. I used to think we had to keep the Laws of Moses and the Laws of Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth. Please stop right now and read Acts 15:1-21, Hebrews 7:12, and Romans 6:14 in the King...

Your welcome. I am not big on talking about my personal life on the internet. Not everyone on the internet is looking to be nice. I come here on the forums to talk about the Bible, my friend.

Not all sin is the same. See this thread here: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/sins-not-unto-death.8231195/ When I say "forsake sin," it is to overcome that sin. If a believer keeps sinning and never overcome their sin and they die in that state, they are not going to make it into...

See my thread here: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/two-aspects-of-salvation-believers-need-to-be-concerned-with.8284898/

You're not getting it. Those who say they can sin and still be saved are no different than unbelievers who justify sin and claim to believe in God. This describes any believer who rejects Conditional Salvation or the view that sin can separate us from God (unless one confesses and forsakes...

Nobody is stuck in being a certain way unless they seared their conscience or something and we cannot truly know if somebody has done that or not. People have changed their minds on a wide variety of theological beliefs. A person who once justified sin can change their mind.

Your interpretation does not make any sense in 1 Peter 3:21. Looking at your other posts on the forum, you have appeared to defend beliefs that align with the Catholic Church. The common Catholic interpretation on 1 Peter 3:21 is that the phrase "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh"...

If this was the only verse on baptism, you may be on to something, but Paul makes it clear that he came not to baptize but to preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 1:17). I have heard some churches falsely claim that baptism is a part of the gospel, and yet Paul does not seem to think so. Anyway...

Again, I have already given the verses that refutes your belief. It is up to you to deal with them or not. There are no verses that defend Eternal Security because it is a lie that is fed to people to make them feel comfortable in their sin with the promise they are going to enter the Kingdom...

In addition, there are several passages that tell us that you cannot be out of fellowship with God and be saved. #1. 1 John 5:12 says He that has the Son has life and He that does not have the Son does not have life. Life is associated with eternal life or salvation. #2. John 17:3 says eternal...

Christ alone has immortality (1 Timothy 6:16). Jesus Himself said He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). 1 John 5:12 says, he that has the Son has life, and he that does not have the Son, does not have life. So, you have to abide in Christ in order to have life (i.e., eternal...

Think. What happened in the story of Noah and the flood? Did wicked men of that old world set out to attack Noah and his family and then alil of a sudden a big fast moving stream of water took them out? No. The Ark is what saved Noah and his family. The water was a form of Judgment. The...

It’s synergistic. It’s not all God and it’s not all you. But we are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling in Philippians 2:12 (Which one can either ignore or change it because it does not align with what they desire to be true). I believe the Word of God (like Scripture) is...

I've heard this interpretation long ago and it does not make any sense. I use the Bible to interpret the Bible. Hence, why I brought up the similar phrase in 2 Corinthians 7:1. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says otherwise. Only because the RCC says so and not because the Bible teaches that idea. Nope...

Obviously, I am not giving you an exhaustive account of all the details involved. My words here are not like a book or something. I do believe it is required that a person has a godly sorrow. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says godly sorrow leads to repentance. If a person says they are sorry to Jesus...

Uh, I believe I refuted what you are stating by the verses I posted. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Why the fear of God? We are just secure and we cannot lose what we have right? God is just...

Matthew 28:19 says nothing about how baptism is for salvation. Anyway, there are two possibilities or interpretations I have on Matthew 28:19. #1. This is telling the believer to baptize in the name of Jesus (Which is the name that represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). This is...

So you believe we are forced or changed to a point whereby we cannot help but to do good all the time? If so, then why are we told to do the following things in the Bible? We are told: 1. “...We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.”...

Jesus condemned one sin in the fact that a person could be cast bodily into hellfire for looking upon a woman in lust in Matthew 5:28-30. It does not sound like this sin is okay to do as long as one believes in the finished work of the cross. Believers are told to confess and forsake sin in...

This is also called “Initial and Final Salvation.” However, even men like John Piper who claim to believe in “Initial and Final Salvation” do not believe in proper holy living as the Bible teaches because they have a false view of the penalty of sin. For example: John Piper (A Calvinist)...
