Yes or no. ;)

Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then? No. True science of The Omnisceint = All Knowing = All Science Knowing God, having Infinite Awareness, Understanding, and Insight, Who Possesses Universal and Complete Knowledge directly conflicts with the unproven quackery of...

"he had never actually explained the Gospel to anyone in his life..." He could do better.

Of course, who do you think deceived Eve? Genesis 3:1-15 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” / The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the...

Praise the Lord God Almighty. That's what I try to do, with God's Blessing. Could you name one? Right. They are all Spiritually blind. No choice is offered. "Not every man in the world is here meant, or all the individuals of human nature; for all are not the objects of God's Special Love...

Regarding the Bible: No. We are not Ruckmanites, like when folks are referring to KJV onlyism. All of Peter Ruckman's tenants are abhorred with indignation. We know that God's Promise to Preserve His Word took place concerning the KJV. There was a Biblical substantiation for utilizing that...

No way on earth or in Heaven. FAITH HAS NO MERIT IN ITSELF. Faith is merely the channel through which God's justifying and sanctifying grace flows into the soul. Faith is no more meritorious than the act of receiving a gift is meritorious. Faith in no way is a substitute for our obedience to...

Amen. "Born." "From Above." Yep, apparently that is what you believe, but Paul never did and still doesn't in Heaven now. Don't know where you come off thinking your statements are always the Mind of God. Nobody said anything like that. Your denial of the Bible teaching of Total Depravity...

John 3:5; "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6; "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7; "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8; "The wind bloweth where it...

The Supernatural Gifts of Instantaneous Miracles? No. Can't go there. There is no situation in Spiritual Reality, or the Bible, where it could be said, "Believers are added to the church," as if "the church" is what the Bible teaches is The Kingdom of God, made up of all saved souls on earth...

"The unbeliever cannot understand or accept the gospel, for it is foolishness to him; How then can he respond to it and believe in Christ as his Savior? "Every intent of his heart is evil, and he seeks not after God; How then can he turn to Christ for salvation and embrace Him as his...

Again, to have a 'faith' which is supposed to appropriate the Holy Spirit's Indwelling that would make you 'alive', that initial 'faith' is dead faith, to start with. So, you're actually trying to brag about having dead faith to save your soul. Would you just stop and fast and pray for a few...

I see what you're asking I think, but those realities Peter is speaking about are not a 'picture'. I just call that out for the reason that I hope that's not something you are ever doing elsewhere, i.e., making realities out to be pictures. And then, back to a new 'reality'? Hope not. For...

Nope. There is "one baptism" that as in any other word read under the influence of one of the most fundamental tools of Hermeneutics, "if the plain sense of a word makes sense, then we accept it as expressing that initial plain common sense every time", unless the context dictates otherwise...

So then, why isn't there anything in the Bible about 'Spirit baptism' that is taught anywhere for a saved soul to be able to discern it, Spiritually? You won't be standing eye-to-Eye with Jesus Christ and tell Him that He walked 60 miles to be baptized by the one man who had the Authority from...
