    where on the forum site would a comment like belong? Thank you The New Testament identifies believing synagogues as churches. James identifies the two in his letter. If a man in filthy rags comes into your synagogue (Jas. 2:2), don't do thus and such. And if anyone there is sick, let him...

    Calvin silenced by James2:24

    I was making a point short hand. It seems a little more detail is necessary. Our works are a necessary side effect of salvation, however they do not save nor assist in saving. Christ said "If you love me keep my commandments" THis obedience however does not gain any merit in the sight of...

    Calvin silenced by James2:24

    Man is justified to the world that he is a Christian because of his works. He is justified before the Lord because of Christ's work. "all of our righteousness is as filthy rags"

    The New Testament identifies believing synagogues as churches. James identifies the two in his letter. If a man in filthy rags comes into your synagogue (Jas. 2:2), don't do thus and such. And if anyone there is sick, let him call for the elders of the church (Jas. 5:14). Now when Paul came to...

    Thoughts on the "New Perspective on Paul" anyone?

    I wanted to try to get a concise written explanation of the New Perspective on Paul. Can anyone please enlighten me? I have an idea but I want to hear from someone who understands it a heck of a lot better than I do. If there is already a thread on this please send me a link.

    Quoting everything again will become very difficult to read so I will try too answer your objections without quoting your previous post. I believe your objection to many things concerning daughters, slaves, etc...and baptism would be answered if you could be convinced that baptism and...

    No, not in the "process of salvation and election" but yes in order of the male "equipment" with receiving circumcision. Covenentally No, because they were born into a believing home. YOu are quite hung up on this argument as evidenced by your previous posts. Here are passages you quoted...

    We don't baptize only sons because with the New Covenent it is larger and more inclusive than the previous covenents. "there is neither slave nor greek, neither male nor female...in Christ." Therefore, we baptize our daughters also. The male is clearly the head of His family and all that...

    Why should I believe in sola fide when...

    The answer to this question may also depend upon one's eschatology. The church may still be in its "infancy." Learning and growing, maybe we will walk one day. But food is food no matter how old you are; as we are reading God's word the Church "grows" and matures.

    Any argument against infant baptism is an argument against infant circumcision.

    A few verses seem to challenge reformed; please help

    Verse 9 of this chapter seems to be helpful..."9But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner." It seems that Paul is not describing one who is elect because he is "confident of better things you (the...
