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.

You sure did revise the KJV quite a lot here:
You added a lot. Why? Below is the actual passage from the KJV:
John 3: KJV
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

That's right the text has not changed, you just added to it your interpretation. That is adding to the Word of God. The 'works of the law' and 'baptized' are nowhere in the text of John 3:16-21. Verse 22 begins another dialogue and context.

...and now for the real verse as it's actually written in the King James Version:
Acts 19:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

It is VERY important that we NOT add to or take from holy Scripture, for it is God's immutable Word to man; and we will surely be held accountable to it---rather than man's interpretations. I have found the KJV to be very dependable if read as shown, though there are a few minor errors by translator. I much recommend the Old Scofield KJV Study Bible to see the Word of God, and to thus note the margin and commentary notes which show any significant errors by translators ---for there is NO perfection in man. Pray much for God's mind, dear friends.
