You yourself said "The only "person" we need is God!"
I never said the church was a building....however I want to make sure the gospel is properly preached and sacraments rightly administered so I fellowship with the church at a church.
So which denomination does the sacraments etc correctly then???
Except there is no breaking of bread here
depending where you are on here, you might get a false gospel.
In addition, it's not as though "2 or 3" are actually gathering together.
>Also baptism, do you believe you have to be physically baptized to go to heaven?
Why not?
Jesus did it.
I didn't do that yet, because I couldn't find a John.
Seriously, I've been asking the same question, and no one said the Bible says the baptism is a must to get in Heaven.
However, everyone said the baptism was a wonderful thing spiritually.
In that case, they may need to do that every now and then, more often.
If anyone get offended with this, think that one or two baptism would guarantee your life time faith by God?
I know Jesus did that and we need to follow his steps, however, also He did the Crucifixtion and the Resurrection.
Would you follow that?
He did that for us.
The above might make many Christians offended, however, If I said something wrong about Jesus, I believe that Jesus corrects me, instead of cursing and punishing me, to guide me to His heart.
And I want you to believe that, if you are a Christian.
>Baptism is God's work in you...Baptism is God's work in you...why don't you want that? And God never mandated that we be crucified, but He does promise a resurrection when He comes again!
>You can't guarantee your faith by works. Christ guarantees faith in his promises found in the Bible.One Lord, one faith, ONE baptism.
You can't guarantee your faith by works. Christ guarantees faith in his promises found in the Bible.
I don't believe that what you want Christians to believe, can be found in the Bible.
No, but is there some reason you would not want to?necessary?
where two or three are in my name, there God is.. You never know what you may learn with a gathering of believers.. especially a growing in faith people who are willing to be converted, transformed, have their minds renewed, and are looking to help lift up their brethren in faith in prayer.Is there scripture that specifically talks about the need to go to church?
My point is that why should we go to church to listen to someone reading the bible to us, when we can stay at home, just you and god alone and read it there in a more intimate environment.
Why do we need to have a pastor tell us what the bible says, he is not God, they are just sinners like the rest of us.
I can see the point in going to join others and hopefully grow your faith etc, but again, why should we rely on other people for us to grow in faith? Shouldn't God alone be enough?
Also baptism, do you believe you have to be physically baptized to go to heaven?
If so, what about people who commit to Christ minutes or even seconds before they die on their deathbed and don't have time to be baptized?
Thanks Graham. God bless.
