“Go…baptize…teach” are participles modifying the imperative verb “make disciples.” According to ExSyn 645 the first participle (πορευθέντες, poreuqentes, “Go”) fits the typical structural pattern for the attendant circumstance participle (aorist participle preceding aorist main verb, with the...

First of I would like to state that it is an honor for me to be able to post and communicate with others who believe in Christ. I am thankful that there are places were we all as human beings can relate to one another our thoughts on the things we have learned and come to undestand and believe...

unwarranted assuptions about the thief on the cross. You do not have enough information to make that assumption whether or not the thief did or did not do anything. if I assume he was a Jew then he was commanded by God to be baptized by John's baptism of repentance in water for the remission...

Oldregular wrote I'll answer your question when you explain what Jesus was talking about in Mark 16:16; then tell me what was going on in Acts22:16 with Paul. Then explain to me 1 Peter 3:21. There are more passages but this will be enough, I am really intersted in some actually telling me...

Were the Jews in Acts 2 saved when they asked, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" If so, why were they told to repent? If not, why were they told to be baptized? In Acts 2:38, what were the Jews told to repent for? In Acts 2:38, what were the Jews told to be baptized for? Since...

This may very well be the case, but it does not mean that they are they same thing, besides the few passages that you showed in your post do not prove your theory. There are many things having to do with faith that scripture does not make a sharp distinction between. That is a poor argument...

Matt 28:18-20 "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with...

2 Cor 7:10 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. NKJV Repentance is "TO" salvation" therefore repentance is a condition of salvation, which is something that Paul tells us is produced when we have...

How can this be? Even Jesus showed that faith is something seen. Mark 2:5 5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, " Son, your sins are forgiven." NASU I agree that faith is something we do. John 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the...

I am curious to know how one comes to be saved? I understand that many of you believe it is by faith alone, but how does that happen? As many would state we are wicked, vile , beings from birth who cannot come to God and cannot choose to do so, then how is a man brought to faith if faith is...

In regards to faith within the context not being of ourselves, which means that it is not subjective within the context, there are many manuscripts that include the definite article which makes faith in this passage "The faith" not refering to our own personal faith but faith in an objective...

Faith alone does not save. Repentance leads to salvation. 2 Cor. 7:10 Repentance and faith are not the same thing. There is no scripture! Faith must preceed repentance. Its completly nonlogical to think that repentance comes before faith unless you were a Jew standing before John the...

Eph 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. NKJV If one is saved by faith alone, they they cannot be saved by grace. This passage says that grace saves us as well as "THE...

I understand that there are multitude of passages that teach one is saved by faith. I agree with those passages. Taking in the summation of things spoken of in this forum we have incorporated thus far that repentance and faith and confession are really just faith and happen at the same time...

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. This passage...

If believing alone in Christ saves someone then why are there passages that suggest that some believe yet were not saved?

Let’s start with Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus said to His disciples, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all...

The bible teaches:Acts 2:38 baptism is for the forgiveness of sins I teach: Acts 2:38 baptism is for the forgiveness of sins You teach: Acts 2:38 baptism is NOT for the forgiveness of sins The bible teaches:Mark 16:15-16 baptism is to be saved...

Some protest the need for baptism saying… ‘I believe baptism is commanded by God but not essential for salvation. It is merely an “outward sign of a work that has already taken place within.”’ According to Romans 6:3-10 and Colossians 2:12 we are dead and unified with Jesus through...
