Let me be more specific concerning the word church. This calling out was the original formation and the teachings of the oracles of God as a covenant Baptist people. Christ set everything in order concerning the true teachings of the Father during His ministry. It was the new covenant. The...

Alan Gross, What is your interpretation of Satan being "loosed a little season". When does this occur? It would seem the figurative binding of Satan for 1000 years would correspond with the figurative 1000 year reign of Christ. While I have no problem with the 1000 years being figurative...

Interesting points. When has satan been bound, literally or figuratively, for 1000 years? He certainly is active today and persecuting the body of Christ. Matter of fact, that is what he has always done.

When I think of what Reformed said concerning (all believers everywhere throughout human history) I think of a seedline (Gen 17:7 and 18:19), a remnant (Isa 37:32), a righteous nation (Isa 26:2, 1 Pet 2:9) a perpetuity as in the seedline of Christ to Adam.(Lu 3:23-38) In order to have an...

Some are saying that only God and the individual knows whether someone is saved or not. 1 John 3:14 contradicts that thought. I know that just because someone attends church is no guarantee that they have the life of Christ in them but to totally neglect the body is a definitely contrary to the...

As far as the word KNOW is used in 1 John 3:14, I will share a personal experience. I have a problem with the instant salvation/I got saved last night feeling that many believe as if what they experienced was akin to what Paul experienced on the road to Damascus. I am not saying that people do...

David, speaking by the spirit of Christ, says in Ps 122:1, "I was glad when they said unto me, let US go into the house of the Lord." He was made glad by the assembly of the brethren together in fellowship and praise of the Lord. I also believe John was speaking in the same manner in I Jn...

I John 3:14 says, "We KNOW that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." If someone does not want to have anything to do with the body of Christ, you can put a question mark on them.

Again my question, why would Christ say if ye love me keep my commandments, give the command to baptize, then in essence disannul the command? Christ would in effect be divorcing himself from his own covenant which he would never do. How do you get into the new covenant? Plainly shown by...

The thief then had to have heard the gospel and almost without exception when we see the word gospel used it is in association with the kingdom/gospel of the kingdom preached by both Christ and John the Baptist, and that kingdom as a type in the literal, local, visible body of Christ. You...

Robycop3, Please consider the following points/questions. The question was asked, "If I had died before I was baptized, would I have not been saved/gone to hell" In Mt 10:30 and Lu 12:7, Christ points out that "the very hairs of your head are numbered." Could not the Father that numbered...

Many Baptists have a knee jerk reaction when given the witness of Baptist Believer and want to throw the C of C water on it. Receiving the ordinance of baptism is a show of agreement and subjection to the body of Christ charged with administering it. An ordinance is a command and will be...

Robycop, Go to Bible Gateway and look up all the examples of who said "IF THOU BE THE CHRIST" John 10:14 says, "Then came the JEWS round about him and said unto him, How long dost thou make us doubt? IF THOU BE THE CHRIST, tell us plainly." Paul in I Cor 1:22 says," The JEWS seek a sign..."...

Sovereign Grace, would you give me the name of any of the baptist churches in your area who hold to this teaching that I may call and discuss their interpretation of this doctrine. People immediately assume when your are teaching baptism is necessary they assume you believe it is for salvation...

Indeed God does enable men to accomplish many thing from human ingenuity and idealism. The cathedral is an example. I am also a diabetic and would by medical standards have died many years ago without insulin. I have benefited from those advances. The problem comes when man, in his...

Thanks for the history info HankD

Kinda like their so called Jesus painted on the end of their football stadium.

How about Michaelangelo's idolatrous graven image of the Father and Adam. Was it saved? Or any of their wooden "Jesus's"? I must admit I know nothing about other aspects of the cathedral or its history and really don't care. I wonder how many of our brethren they killed during the time it...

Bro Biblicist, Can you not see that Jer 31-31:33, Jer 32:37-41, Isa 59:21, and Isa 54:17 are prophesies concerning the local literal visible body of Christ AND the kingdom of God? These verse declared the will and work of the Father and Christ. It is a NOW occurrence and needs no waiting for...

Bro Biblicist, Since Christ gave the new covenant to the church, which covenant will national ethnic Israel be grafted into? Is it a different covenant/kingdom/nation than which Paul was telling the Jews of that time they would be grafted into if they did not abide in unbelief? Is it a...
