So you are saying we don't have to believe what Jesus said about Himself, The Prophets or the Apostles said who all declared He is God correct ?I'm sorry my friend, it's simply not there.

You never answered my question is Paul quoting Joel 2:32 in Romans 10:13 ? yes or noYou're reading to much into the scripture. Salvation is not that difficult.
The fact that Jesus is God is not in the Gospel of salvation, the Gospel is that a Saviour came and delivered us from our sins.
You never answered my question is Paul quoting Joel 2:32 in Romans 10:13 ? yes or no
who is the Lord one calls upon in Joel 2:32 ?Of course he is! But it has nothing to do with our disagreement.
who is the Lord one calls upon in Joel 2:32 ?
Why didn't you answer who the Lord is in Joel 2:32 ?I can't believe you are trying to make a connection with this on the most important issue found in the Bible, our salvation.
If man had to know what you are implying to be saved, he would first have to be a Bible scholar before he could understand how to be saved.
You are trying to connect the dots where there are no dots.
If Gods demand for salvation was that we believe Jesus is God, the scripture would say, THOU MUST BELIEVE jESUS IS GOD TO BE SAVED. But it doesn't say that does it?
Do you really believe God would make us fish around to find our salvation in His Word?

I know why.
And I'm not connecting any dots PAUL did in Romans 10:9-13 by quoting Joel 2:32 and declaring Jesus is the One Lord of Joel 2:32 who is YHWH that a person must confess to be saved.
Your problem is not with me its with Paul, Joel, the LORD and Scripture,
All I'm doing is declaring what Paul said in Romans 10:13.
You still didn't answer who the Lord is in Joel 2:32. I wonder why ?Believe what you like, my friend. I've said all that I can.
They worship an idol that cannot save. Also "Lord Jesus Christ" = YHWH = God.Hello brother,@Jesus is YHWH
To you, why does that matter?
Just because someone doesn't say Jesus is God but is the Lord Jesus Christ?
Would you say if someone just believes that Jesus Christ is not God, that they are lesser than someone who says Jesus Christ is God?
All of the cult books I've read teach that any who reject the Ecumenical Creeds are cults of Christendom and not actually the Church.The only thing that gets under my skin, is when people think they have the authority to say who are Christians or not.
And use scripture to justify it.
Who are we to judge anyone, if we do not judge ourselves first?
No one is perfect and one has full understanding to the point they are able to use the bible as a charge against someones account for being different and still believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins, regardless if they live in their sin or not.
Because of Free-Will choice, God can work in and around many different people, for the benefits of allowing people to look towards God, and to love others around them encouragement and support.
Though since we are not God we truly can't get a true grip on others in the life they have lived, good or bad.
All we were told by God is to love, and support, encourage each other to stay strong in faith of the gospel of Hope namely Jesus Christ and the resurrection. That anyone who believes shall be saved.
Not just by picking and choosing who is christian or not. Though some people may have little faith and a lot of flesh, and some people may have a lot of faith and a little flesh.
That's the right question... right there.How does one define 'evangelical'

For some number, being evangelical might mean being politically for certain morals and being pro-Israel. Possibly, ones have joined political movements which are supposed to be evangelical. Because they agreed with the political agenda, the leaders might have accepted them without talking with them about who Jesus is and trusting in Jesus for salvation. Possibly, I have seen how even certain pastors will say so-and-so is a saved politician, though the person does not say so or show so. If a person claims to be pro-Israel, he or she can get their ticket stamped.How does one define 'evangelical'
That’s the usual reaction to surveys like this. But I wonder. I’d think most Christians know the official answer to most of these questions. I think a substantial number may intentionally disagree. My sense is that many church members hold fairly generic views, and do not follow the specific positions of their denomination. A lot of people choose churches based on how they feel about the congregation, not theology.Many evangelical denominations must be doing a poor job of catechizing their members.
For the study, evangelicals were defined as people who strongly agreed with the following four statements: the Bible is the highest authority for what I believe; it is very important for me personally to encourage non-Christians to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior; Jesus Christ's death on the cross is the only sacrifice that could remove the penalty of my sin; and only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God's free gift of eternal salvation.How does one define 'evangelical'
