I am not sure that "knowing" of another's eternal state is our responsibility. This is why church discipline is so vital to the church. We are told that we can know if WE are saved. I think all of 1John would expose many. 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name...

I certainly agree. Telling someone to "repent of their sin" for salvation is clearly a works salvation. Here we see the devils trap of adding just three little words (of their sin) to what the bible actually says destroys the real message. For one it makes salvation a works salvation. The other...

Thank you for the reply but that was not my question.

Keep in mind that the law did not come until Moses. Before Moses there was no law. As to the question is there a difference in then and now yes and no. Salvation has ALWAYS been by grace through faith. Hab. 2:4, Heb. 11:4-13. So, in that respect the way of salvation has not changed. The major...

Why are Baptists so divisive Because not all Baptists are really Christians. In fact, based on scripture probably most/many are not. Mat. 7:22

First off why would they want to be married by a preacher? Just go find a justice of the peace. Secondly why would a preacher want to marry them? If they start attending church all they are going to do is bring judgment on that church if their sin is not dealt with. If they are already...

Based on scripture it is assumed that a person is already married to a Godly woman and has children that are also under the authority of a Godly leading man before ever becoming a pastor. 1Tim. 3:2-4. The reason for this is so he can be evaluated and also as a protection from the sin of lust...

Hopefully this can be kept in accord with the question I ask and not get to chasing rabbits. Today some preach that salvation is a gift and not of works yet they will turn around and tell the person that they have to repent of their sin. The NT NEVER says a person has to repent of sin to be...

Well then that means there has been a lack of spiritual understanding for a long time.

I would say that the phrase "Jesus is my boyfriend" shows a total lack of spiritual understanding of the relationship that we have to Him. I would suggest that anyone seeking the Lord run from such ideas.

Teaching is always an authority whether in church or a secular position. They are telling you what to believe or do. Whether a listener accepts that authority is up to them. A position of authority in the church does not mean a place of force. It means that the position has been ordained by God...

The limiting command for women is for not holding an office of teaching men within the church. Teaching is a position of authority. Outside of the church they can teach anyone anything that is not ordained for the church.

No disrespect but it sounds like you have bought the liberal agenda. You seem to forget that Jesus was/is divisive. He said; Mat. 10:34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the...
