If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, then that shows you to be elect. Paul wrote to the Christians at Ephesus: 3 Blessed be]the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose...

But God is almighty. He is called King of kings: “which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,” (1Ti 6:15 NKJV) He does everything that He wishes: “9 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no...

Yes. Faith and belief are two English translations of the same Greek word pistis.

But John wasn't inspired to write the phrase, "believes into Him." English wasn't even around then. The Greek word he used which you say should be translated into English as "into" was eis, which most English versions translate as "in."

No dodge, I assure you. I was just saying that being mistaken about some aspect of God's truth is completely different to telling lies about God's truth.

Sorry, but I have been all the way through the messages in this thread, and I cannot find a single post from somebody called Mark Ward.

Who is Mark Ward? You were replying to a post from JonC, who, incidentally, didn't say that it was a sin to read the KJV.

But I would say that 1 Corinthians 13:1 is not talking about instruments to be used in worship, but about the effect of speaking fine-sounding words without true love. The sounding brass and the clanging cymbal are pictures that Paul uses to illustrate this. Although I agree that it could...

True, but I wonder how far you would take that? Psalm 150 includes these words: “3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! 4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! 5 Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him...

I would suggest that an outright lie purporting to be the gospel is not the same thing at all as Christians' understanding of the gospel varying.

No unmasking was needed. I openly stated my reason for posting what I did. It was to question your accusation of being off-topic. If I had claimed to be answering a question from you, and then failed to address that question, that would be a different matter, but I made no such claim, and did...

I would say that a key verse in the matter of worship is this one: Joh 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. As far as I am aware, the New Testament doesn't say anything about musical styles to be used in worship, which musical instruments are...

I have just looked again at the OP. I see nothing there that demands 100% accord with God's truth. Of course, that should be the aim, but we are all human and therefore our knowledge of God and His truth is limited. Thew OP even gives examples of what they mean, including a change of...

But I wasn't even attempting to answer your enquiry. I was responding to your accusation of being off-topic.

That just cannot be correct, in view of what John writes: “1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (Joh 1:1-3 NKJV) Just in case...

Sorry but what is obscene about saying that a false gospel doesn't bring anybody to salvation?

It is surely not off topic when somebody (in this case you) includes an unusually-worded quote from Scripture without saying which translation it is from, to ask that person which version it is. You say John "repeatedly uses "believers into Him" in his gospel." The only bible verse I can find...

Would it not be easier for everybody just to name the translation you mean? Not doing so makes it seem as though you are unwilling t do so. I stress that I am not saying that you are unwilling, just that saying "The version that translates "eis" as into rather than as "in" " instead of simply...

I don't believe that the bible teaches complete abstinence, but it does teach against drunkenness. I don't drink alcohol, simply because I don't like the taste of alcoholic drinks, and anyway, alcohol is not permitted with the medication I have to take.

Do you have any biblical support for saying that the only true language for worship is Latin (or Greek? Jesus said: ““God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”” (Joh 4:24 NKJV) True worship must be in spirit and in truth. He said nothing about true worship...
