    Church vs Israel argument

    Israel is a nation. Israelites who accept Jesus as the Messiah or Savior are God's children. I guess True Israel, the nation, is composed of True Israelites as opposed to False Israel, composed of False Israelites. I find this very confusing. Surely you intellectuals can simplify/clarify this...

    Dealing with Professing Believers Walking in Sin in Online Boards

    If the one you knew was promoting a false gospel, his kicking the dust off his feet might have opened the way for the true gospel to be presented. The Bible teaches that if the true gospel is rejected, the "dust" of those rejecting it should be shaken off as a testimony against them. I know...

    Dealing with Professing Believers Walking in Sin in Online Boards

    These posts sound like human psychological babble. No scriptural support included. If Christians expressing their Biblical convictions are a stumbling block to non-believers, so be it. Let your light shine. If Christians don't hold forth the work of God, it will appear as though the tares...

    John 3:19-21

    What say Protestants? I don't know. I am not a Protestant, I am a Baptist. Do you disagree with my statement: "Roman Catholics have only one requirement for a person to be born-again and become a child or God. That requirement is to be baptized with wholly water, of as they say, holy...

    Dealing with Professing Believers Walking in Sin in Online Boards

    You said: "I think you are right to include an obligation on the part of believers to gently confront another believer..." Below is one of a number of passages that reveals scripture does not support your position. 1Ti 6:3 KJV - If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words...

    Predestination

    First view mentioned: You state: "Of the three views, the first that you mentioned seems to be the only free will view that can withstand this passage." Are you saying that scripture is submissive to free will?

    John 3:19-21

    Thanks for the compliments! Roman Catholics have only one requirement for a person to be born-again and become a child or God. That requirement is to be baptized with wholly water, of as they say, holy water. Prof: Catechism of the Catholic Church - The sacrament of Baptism 1213 Holy Baptism...

    John 3:19-21

    First you said: " ..those who deny the Christ..." I took that literally and concluded they denied His birth, etc. As I stated, I do not know of any professing Christian that denies Christ's existence. Now you say: "Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness, Christian Scientists deny His Deity." I do not...

    John 3:19-21

    Study Guide for Ephesians 4 by David Guzik b. One baptism: Some think that because Paul says there is one baptism that the idea of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a subsequent experience is invalid. But Paul only spoke here of the baptism by water which is the visible token of God’s common...

    John 3:19-21

    "...but you are not honestly stating what they believe." I take being charged with be dishonesty seriously. Therefore, explain your charge. I have never encountered a Baptist "...that refuses to obey any of the commands of Jesus and desires no participation in any fellowship or ordinance...

    John 3:19-21

    You said: "Personally, those who deny the Christ...". What professing Christian denies Christ? What about Christ do they deny? Nicene Creed (A.D. 325) | CARM.org "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." Do you have any insight into which baptism the drafters on the Nicene...

    Why are there so many even Christians afraid of Judgment Day?

    I have no intention of watching the video. If, as you say you have shared the scripture supporting your position concerning the judgement of Christians and I missed it, simply share the post again for me. Thanks for your helpful reply to my request.

    Spurgeon Daily Devotional June 27, 2020

    Charles H. Spurgeon June 27, 2020 Morning Reading Only ye shall not go very far away.—Exodus 8:28 This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too...
