This is from the link from the OP. Then it goes on to describe what Hades/Sheol does mean. One thing that I like about the NKJV Bible is that it fixed all those mistranslations. It correctly translates 'Sheol' and 'Hades', where the original KJV used 'Hell'. When we turn to the lexicographical...

"While Paradise is not now a part of Sheol/Hades it will be mentioned here because it was located in Sheol/Hades at one time. Before the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ everybody who died went to Sheol/Hades, which was at that time divided into at least two compartments. One was...

Continued ... Macarthur.. -------------- John 10:26-27. Likewise. The Sheep are those true OT believers given to Jesus by the Father. They will here the Gospel and will be justified and born again "in Christ" when they are made one with Him in that spiritual baptism called the baptism with...

Acts 13. These were OT God fearing Gentiles likely in the synagogue to worship right along side of the Jews (vs 13:42, 8:27-38). Paul went to those same synagogues to preach to the Gentiles along with the Jews. These were true OT believers, which were given to Jesus by the Father. Thus, they...

We enter into that grace by faith (Romans 5:1-2), thus "through" faith Ephesians 2:. The life begins when we receive the Spirit of God. Made alive together with Christ happens when we receive the Holy Spirit. With the Spirit, we are His, without the Spirit, we are not (Romans 8:9-11). The Spirit...

1 John 1:12-13 says that those who believed were given the right to become sons of God, born again.

Stupidity, the word that Bonhoeffer used. I would describe it as creating ideal conditions for willful ignorance (stupidity) to thrive in. But it's more than that. Basically, he's describing how the sinful nature of man, coupled with our desire for the path of least resistance, which could be...

"In speaking of Christ’s coming, John 1:14 says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” A more literal interpretation of this phrase would be that Christ “pitched his tent” or “tabernacled” among us. In other words, Jesus, himself, is a temple, the very presence of God not only...

No takers, huh? I throw in this video for those who don't like to read. I don't know much about the author, but he did a good job with this.

That's a whole different topic, Bright. What we are discussing here is whether or not John 1:12-13 says that a person must be born again to believe. I understand that you only see two options, born again, or the flesh, but that's not what the Bible teaches. It's what you're system requires the...

Galatians 5:22 Faithfulness is not the same as faith. As a result of faith, we begin in the Spirit (Galatians 3:2-3).

Do you agree? https://marksofadisciple.com/contributor-corner/thedwellingplaceofgod

I agree, it's for another thread. But believe and be saved is a problem for those who believe in be saved then believe.

Hi Allen I'm saying that "begun in the Spirit" is the result of receiving the indwelling. That results in a lot of things. One of them is being born again. Phil. 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you (by the Spirit that you received as a result of...

Romans 10:9-13 seems to be putting emphasis on the initial belief, and adds confess with your mouth. Ephesians 1:13-14 comes to mind. We believe, and the Holy Spirit is given. The seal of our inheritance. Per the OP, it is at this point that I believe that the "Author and Finisher" of our...

Here's the Church in the making. Really cool. Ephesians 2:11-22 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands-- that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of...

Exactly, and amen. It's Jesus doing the baptizing, and the Holy Spirit is the Agent of that 'placing into'. Everybody who is a Christian did receive the Holy Spirit indwelling as a result of their faith. So we know that every believer, even today, has been baptized/placed into/immersed by Jesus...

@Christforums Sorry I didn't flag you when I replied.

Hey Rob When we think of a believers initial belief, and then the ongoing faith in that same individual, do you think that we could make the conclusion that while they are the same, they are distinct?

Interesting. He does use "faith" once in 1 John 5:4. This seems to be speaking of the ongoing part. 1 Joh 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. --------- Maybe this is the reason. Just throwing it out there...
