That he came to die as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28), that your penalty for them is paid and they are remitted; i.e., you have been ransomed from condemnation (Romans 5:18) and wrath (Romans 5:9) by the mercy of God (Romans 11:32) who provided the sacrifice/payment for your sin (Romans 3:25).Faith in that God sent Jesus to die for our sins.

Agreed. . .but they are so revelatory of God, why would the heart not want to know and appropriate them?I don't believe you have to believe all the details, just that Jesus died for our sins, so we don't have to. It think it's more about the heart than the details.
No. . .and I think he's not done yet with those he saves.Do you think you need to believe all that to be saved?
Otherwise its adding to the simplicity of the gospel. Jesus saves sinners, not theologians.Do you think you need to believe all that to be saved?
If doctrine is of supreme importance, I trust that it will be explicitly stated in Acts and the Epistles (written explicitly to believers) in at least 2 different passages. I am not discounting the OT or Gospels -they were written before the New Covenant and dealt with the Jews.Otherwise its adding to the simplicity of the gospel. Jesus saves sinners, not theologians.
Wrong. . .theologians are not excluded from salvation.Otherwise its adding to the simplicity of the gospel. Jesus saves sinners, not theologians.
Who made that rule?If doctrine is of supreme importance, I trust that it will be explicitly stated in Acts and the Epistles (written explicitly to believers) in at least 2 different passages.
Son of Man was a name for Messiah.I am not discounting the OT or Gospels -they were written before the New Covenant and dealt with the Jews.There is also
the wrong assumption that Jesus was acting as a member of the Godhead when He walked the earth. He walked in the spirit as a man - He referred to Himself as the son of man
Au contraire. . .and admitted He could do nothing of Himself, but relied on the Father. And
the spirit was not given to man until Pentecost.
Different understanding, indeed! . . .straight from the Scriptures!A lot of Calvinist doctrine operates from a different understanding of those points.
There is no reason to delve into scriptures written to OT Jews when the text written to the NT Church is explicitly clear on the topic.Who made that rule?
As with everything in the Bible, everything must be taken in context.How many times did Jesus state that he was "the truth"?
Acts 2:38-39 identifies those people as the ones who respond to the preaching of the Gospel with repentance and baptism.How many times does Scripture state that "God has mercy on who he wants to have mercy" (Romans 9:18).
Ezekiel also referred to himself as the son of man.Son of Man was a name for Messiah.
They were anointed. But still told to wait to be filled before preaching to the worldThe Holy Spirit was given to the apostle before Pentecost (John 20:21-22).
It has everything to do with the establishment of Christ’s Church.Pentecost was a special infusion of gifts for the starting of the church.
Which has what to do with Jesus of Nazareth?
So says the guy who denies that God desires to save all men as explicitly stated in 1 Timothy 2:4.Different understanding, indeed! . . .straight from the Scriptures!

Failure to account for more than one meaning of "all" and "world," thereby setting Scripture against itself.So says the guy who
denies that God desires to save all men as explicitly stated in 1 Timothy 2:4.
context of all men here is all without exception. Any other interpretation makes no sense from how the text is structured.Failure to account for more than one meaning of "all" and "world," thereby setting Scripture against itself.
The most important determinative is the context of all the NT.context of all men here is all without exception. Any other interpretation
makes no sense from how the text is structured.
The most important determinative is the context of all the NT.
And the structure of the text does not require it.
So if you aren't saying that, what are you saying?Why am I not surprised u are having trouble getting something through your head? And trying to change what I said, shame on you.
I give up. . .how?If Paul means we are to pray for just all kinds of men, how do we know who to pray for? Should I pray for this person, but not for that person? How can that make sense?
I give up. . .how?
