  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IMHO:

Luke 10
25 On one occasion an expert in the Torah stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26 "What is written in the Torah?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

Peace!

One is saved by grace alone through faith (emunah) manifested by good deeds (mitzvot). Both emunah and mitzvot are important to salvation but they are only attained by the Grace of Hashem.

Yeshuah stresses obedience to the 10 commandments and the need to receive the mikveh of the New Covenant (baptism) and to eat his flesh and drink his blood in the mystery of the Pesach Seder and Todah Sacrifice of the New Covenant. Also to love others as he has loved us.:wave:

Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Matthew 10;22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

We all need the faith that takes us into living the truth, that Yeshua can say to us, thy faith hath saved thee.
Luke 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

It is a Holy calling with a Holy purpose given to us by God.
2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

It takes washing and renewing work of the Holy Spirit to keep in the light of salvation.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

People believe that salvation being such a nice gift is easy obtained and easy to keep.
1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

By walking in the light...salvation is found
Revelation 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

OH!! Man!! I got it!!! :doh:

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Baptisim was the outward symbol of having deliberately and willfully turned away from an old path and taken up a new one - of having turned away from one way and going another!! It is NOT the washing away of ANYTHING! (in fact for a mikveh to be valid you MUST be scrupulosly clean BEFORE - physically and spritually {repentance/kavanah}) THAT was/is the Jewish understanding of Mikveh!!!

The getting wet is no more necessary to being saved than wearing a badge is necssary to being a sheriff - it is the decision and commitment behind it - what the baptisim represents - this is what the thief on the stake had..... and why he was saved without "getting wet!!!"

ALSO, when it says "there is only one baptisim" - it does NOT mean you can only be baptised once - it means only the baptisim done in obedience to HaShem is virtuous. You can do THAT baptism many times - indeed the observant Jewish person does.

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ IOW - neither believing N OR baptism shall save you - But salvation is powered by belief and certified by action that belies the committment and decision!!! Yeah!!^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Yeshua as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom 10:10 for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.



Sorry to be so simplistic
But thats the way I see it


Blessings

Shalom,

My favorite

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

And to go with it.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

G-d Bless,

Dan
