Ok, so the phrase “transferred into Christ’s spiritual body” does not appear in any of those passages and none other I know of. To say we are “in Christ” does not mean we are “transferred” into His spiritual body. Please think about the ramifications of such doctrine. peace to you

No one can forgive sin against God but God alone.. No one has been given the Power that belongs to Christ alone. We are called upon to forgive others of their trespasses against us, but forgiveness of the sin by God, belongs to God alone. And yes, we go directly to God. There is no mediator...

Obviously, DT isn’t a missionary, he’s a politician. What works for politicians does not, especially in this case, work for preaching the gospel. Again, it’s vulgar and unseemly, from my point of view. In @Van’s defense (I can’t believe I’m actually defend him) in this case I think he is just...

Please provide scripture to support the claim we are “transferred into Christ’s spiritual body”? Note the phrase “in Christ” does not mean literally transferred into His Spiritual body. That is reading way too much into the phrase. But perhaps there are other passages to support the claim...

You add to faith several things that are required for “access” to God’s grace. But you are correct, there is no reason to discuss this with you peace to you

You are surprised because…….? My question is how does he know? Was he just using a metaphor for bravery, courage, or being an over all “manly man”? BTW, I agree it was vulgar. peace to you

That sounds very much like a performances based salvation that merits God’s grace by saying we MUST “love…full devotion…puts Christ above…fleshly desires…worldly treasures” You are claiming that to obtain “access” to God’s grace, we MUST do certain things. I believe you are confused. All...

Please provide scripture to support your claim God would ever consider “our flawed efforts to be righteous”? Our most righteous deeds are “filthy rags” and “dung” in God’s eyes, according to scripture. We are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus. God sees HIS righteousness and applies His...

Please quote the scripture that states “mortal sin puts one outside the church”? The church doesn’t control who is saved. My salvation comes from my Lord Jesus, not His assembly (church) of believers, and certainly not any man. James is offering good advice, not dogma. Oil was often used as...

And yet, Hebrews 6 clearly states if someone loses salvation it’s impossible to get it back. peace to you

My wife and I are voting early this Friday. DT has never changed. He is the same man from 2016. Thinking he will change is an effort in futility. IMO, you should always vote your conscience. The thing I appreciate about @KenH is his consistency on the issue. Please don’t waste another...

Hebrews 6 is very clear. If a man could lose his salvation, it is possible for him to get it back because he would have to crucify Jesus all over again. Be consistent. If you believe a person can lose salvation, don’t pretend they can get it back. That is unbiblical, as is much Catholic dogma...

Thank for sharing your position. You stated it well. Let everyone act according to their own conscience in such matters. I wouldn’t presume to criticize or attempt to persuade otherwise. peace to you

God does not command us to “just do the best you can”. God’s standard is perfection. Consider the OT Law. If you fail to keep just one aspect, you fail it all and are condemned. Jesus commanded us to be perfect as His Father is perfect. He did not command us to “just do the best that you can...

I Corinthians 1 tells us that God was “well pleased” to save people through the gospel. That was His sovereign choice. Scripture tells us God is well pleased with His Son, Jesus and His sacrifice. Scripture very clearly reveals to us what pleases God concerning how folks are saved. I believe...

After something God does in you, by His mercy. peace to you

That is a good point. It is also the biggest failure of dispensation theology. In Ephesians, Paul tells us the two (Jew and Gentile) have been made into one new man by the cross of Christ and are bound together by God Holy Spirit. To have a separate future for Jews, you must undo the work of...

No matter how many times you make this claim it will never be true. I believe scripture. You believe man made philosophy that forces God to conform to human ideas of “fairness”. peace to you

The primary purpose of Sunday morning church service is to worship God. Our complete and undivided attention should be on worshipping God. We worship God through sing, prayer, Bible intake (reading and listening) and mediating on His word. The equipping of the saints for service should occur...

It is different from what @Silverhair is claiming because he claims a person can respond to God’s general revelation in creation with salvific faith. He claims many are saved having never heard the gospel. These are clearly unbiblical beliefs. The person is unable to say “ok I can’t do this so...
