Do you mean only a local church can baptize a person? Individuals outside the walls of a church have baptized. John the Baptist — and Phillip baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch. Acts 8 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water...

Non-Calvinist scene: God says to unsaved person at judgment throne —“My Son died for your sins. But you rejected that sacrifice, and now you cannot enter heaven.” Calvinist scene: Unsaved person says to God at judgment throne — “I certainly wish Jesus had died for my sins! I never had a...

Correct me if I misinterpret you. It seems you confuse “belonging to the body of Christ” with “being an official member of a local church”. A born again believer is spiritually a part of the body of Christ by new birth. They can learn correct doctrine and engage in holy behavior without being a...

None of the links (Read More, Contact Us, Serve With Us, Donate, Gallery, Ministries, etc.) work. I click on them, nothing happens.

A person can learn right doctrine and perform good works by attending a church, listening to the preaching and teaching — without officially joining it as a member. I hope your church does not baptize individuals and make them members, with no discernment, no questions, no explanations, no...

Interesting point. This section of scripture is difficult for me to apply to the question of a person being genuinely born again. If we say only the good soil is a truly saved person, then it would require a certain amount of time to see what fruit is being produced. This scripture refers to...

The word “church” in this verse is ekklesia, the called out, not necessarily an individual local church, which met in homes. I view “church” here as meaning the body of Christ. Does your church baptize anyone who wants to join your church, without asking them any questions, or explaining anything?

Yes, for these are very simple elements of genuine salvation. A person wanting to join a church as a member would not need advanced training in complex theology, just rudimentary, foundational concepts. True new birth must be established, to separate wheat from tares. QUOTE … how the person...

I do not disagree, but here is another viewpoint. Psalm 23:6 Literal Standard Version Surely goodness and kindness pursue me all the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days! Sometimes “forever” can be translated “for a long time” or “for my...

I cannot navigate to your website’s Home page. The About page seems to serve as the Home page. On both pages, it should be immediately clear what this website is for — so a picture up at the top, of people worshiping in home meetings, of Myanmar on a globe, so people will know where this nation...

On the About page, the links at the bottom do not work, the Categories and Pages. They look like links, but when selected, do not go anywhere.

The potential is not in the Savior, it’s in the acceptance of the Savior. This is not a perfect analogy, but I think it comes close. It’s as if a rich man determined all the financial debt of an entire town, then declared he would give each person the funds required to pay off their debts, but...

Yes, Eve was planned by God to be a suitable helper for Adam. You ask a great question — in what ways did Eve help Adam? Here are some ways, based on scripture and my experience with a godly wife. 1. Eve helped Adam steward the earth and tend the garden. 2. Eve helped Adam obey God’s command...

Church membership should be based on deeply spiritual discernment by elders who determine if a new member is genuinely saved. They should ask about how the person has changed, why they wanted to get saved, how they came to Christ, what they consider to be the basic doctrines of the faith, and...

Then you are calling Jesus foolish, for He said… Luke 14:10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.

I know of no scripture that says “get born again, then repent and believe in Jesus Christ.”

You added “of the saved” to “Christ is the Savior of the world.” Thus, you must add words to scripture verses in order to make the verses comply with your limited atonement ideology. Scripture on its own contradicts you.
