Did the report say where he was from?

We are not saved according to whether we do good or bad, but by grace through faith (belief) from God. Ephesians 2:8-10 - "8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship...

Please explain this verse then.

To answer each of the posts on this page alone would require a lengthy post, in order to address each point being made. I would be repeating myself from earlier posts I made in this thread. People don't generally read lengthy posts. What I have posted from the Bible should be sufficient, but...

It is impossible for us to come to Jesus and be saved of our own will because our will is against God. No one seeks after God, no, not one. the Bible tells us it is impossible: Mark 10:26-27 - “26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, ‘Who then can be saved?’ 27 And...

What matters isn't what man says or claims to believe; what matters is what God says. He does give us a systematic breakdown of soteriology. Man is in a “catch 22” in being saved. It is written that, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up...

Stay away from those new bibles. They are evil. The old KJV is the only popular direct translation from the original tongues into English. There is also the Geneva Bible, but it is more rare. The old KJV was translated by 47 scholars over 400 years ago. The KJV was not corrupted with the...

Matthew 18:7 - "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" God has purposed that there must be "offenses". These are a form of wickedness. God purposed them to happen. Romans 9:18-20 - "18 Therefore hath he...

Psalm 65:4 - "Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple." God chooses and causes us to believe. That is not for everyone, but for God's chosen from the...

No. God has chosen who will believe from the foundation of the world.-Rev. 17:8. We choose to come to Christ because He first chose us. - John 15:16, 19, Psalm 65:4. We evangelize because God has chosen that process by which men receive the saving faith. - "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by...

Arminianism is just that... a man-made doctrine, which is flawed. Calvinism in itself isn't what matters; it is what the Bible teaches that matters. Calvinism is from Biblical teaching as far as election and predestination are concerned. Man's will is against God. Jesus' will is to save...

What is the What is the difference?

It is the same. There is one baptism, that of the Holy Spirit, into one body. Water baptism is not to be done anymore according to 1 Corinthians 1:17a - "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:" Some say that verse only pertains to Paul. But how does that reasoning make any...

Matthew 13:24-30 - Parable of the wheat and the tares: “24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the...

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. - Ephesians 4:4-5. We are all, who are saved, baptized by the Holy Spirit.

It's not merely traditional teaching. It is from God. Punishment in the lake of fire is eternal for the damned. The OP must have some belief or he wouldn't be so scared of hell to begin with. Atheists don't have a fear of hell. The damned are evil and always will be, but only God knows who the...

Our works cannot save us: “8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”...

Your understanding of Hebrews 6:4-6 is skewed. Many people incorrectly believe those verses speak of a saved person who leaves the faith of their own volition and can never return to it. This is a false interpretation. It also contradicts the parable of the prodigal son. It contradicts the...

Let God take care of the kingdom. We are here to build our relationship with God and our neighbors in love. The 2 greatest commandments Jesus gave are to love the Lord thy God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and the second is to love our neighbors as ourselves. Knowing right from...

If we can lose our salvation by sinning and not walking after His commandments, what did Jesus die for? Is God an Indian giver? The false doctrine of being able to lose one's salvation is a direct spinoff of the false doctrine of free will to choose to follow Jesus. We are the clay, not the...
