Okay, but to confess the Lord Jesus means to acknowledge Him as Lord, the one to obey, does it not?

Majority Standard Bible that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. World English Bible that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the...

Salvation without Jesus as your personal Lord is a delusion. Lots of verses refer to “the Lord Jesus Christ”. That is who Jesus is. He is Lord, Master, Boss. More scripture verses refer to Jesus as Lord than to Jesus as Savior. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same...

Thanks for posting this quote from Angela Elliott. I struggle with this questioning my salvation rather frequently. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior as a teenager, at a Mennonite church camp. I was zealous and totally sincere, going to church and witnessing to people. I read The 4...

Lordship of Jesus in our lives is not an option or something that hopefully happens in believers. To say “just believe in Jesus”, and imply you don’t have to make Him your Lord, this seems to distort the salvation message. Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and...

Many problems arise regarding this attempt to refute lordship salvation. I do not see how we can believe in Jesus apart from believing He is Lord and Master of our lives, the One we must obey. Believe in Jesus means more than simply agree that He exists, or is the Messiah and Savior...

He does this often, posting some verses with no explanation why. We are used to it.

Scripture says angel or messenger of the church, not pastor. No book or letter of the New Testament is ever addressed to a pastor.

Revelation 2:5 is addressed to the Angel/messenger of the church at Ephesus. It speaks of the believers in that church. Rev. 2:5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Look...

Baldwin is an antigovernment Christian dominionist, Replacement Theology pastor whose tenure in the Patriot world predates his involvement with Oath Keepers. Baldwin gained national notoriety in 2010 when he moved his congregation from Florida to the Flathead Valley in Montana as part of his...

Where do you get the idea of “one local church body”? Are you a disciple of Watchman Née or Witness Lee and the Local Church sect, which teaches that there is only one valid local church in each town? The truth is that the totality of believers exists as one body of Christ spiritually...

Then why did Jesus tell us about what would be going on in the world right before His return?

What rings true to me is “If Jesus is not your Lord, then He’s not your Savior.” Confessing must mean more than just flippantly saying that Jesus is Lord. Back in the first century, confessing Jesus as Lord could get you executed. So it is a thought provoking situation. If you confess Jesus...

Keep watch. Jesus told us to keep watch, so we watch the world events as reported on the news.

You seem to confuse evidence of salvation with performance-based salvation. Yes, we are saved by faith not works. But faith without works is dead. If faith is just mental assent to a creed, it is not salvation. Repenting is ongoing, every time we sin, but not for salvation. Ongoing repentance...

The fact remains that the church exists simultaneously as one universal body of Christ and also as individual local assemblies. There are local manifestations (churches) of this universal collection (church) of believers who are assembled and seated in the heavenlies. Ephesians 3 5 Even when...

No. None of the Western nations are mentioned by name in the Bible. The only exception might be Tarshish, which many scholars think refers to Spain. The Old Testament book of Ezekiel 27:12 states that Tarshish traded in silver, iron, tin, and lead. Southern Spain—particularly near the...

Nothing happened when Eve ate the forbidden fruit? Untrue. God said the day you eat of it, you shall die. Humanity fell when Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Even if Adam did not eat it, humanity was tainted through the mother of all humans. The Bible never calls Adam the “federal head” of...
