    Yes or no. ;)

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then? No. True science of The Omnisceint = All Knowing = All Science Knowing God, having Infinite Awareness, Understanding, and Insight, Who Possesses Universal and Complete Knowledge directly conflicts with the unproven quackery of...

    The modern view of Fulfilling the Great Commission (Satire?, for anyone not familiar with Babylon Bee)

    "he had never actually explained the Gospel to anyone in his life..." He could do better.

    Questions

    Of course, who do you think deceived Eve? Genesis 3:1-15 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” / The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    Praise the Lord God Almighty. That's what I try to do, with God's Blessing. Could you name one? Right. They are all Spiritually blind. No choice is offered. "Not every man in the world is here meant, or all the individuals of human nature; for all are not the objects of God's Special Love...

    Are You a Baptist Onlyist?

    Regarding the Bible: No. We are not Ruckmanites, like when folks are referring to KJV onlyism. All of Peter Ruckman's tenants are abhorred with indignation. We know that God's Promise to Preserve His Word took place concerning the KJV. There was a Biblical substantiation for utilizing that...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    No way on earth or in Heaven. FAITH HAS NO MERIT IN ITSELF. Faith is merely the channel through which God's justifying and sanctifying grace flows into the soul. Faith is no more meritorious than the act of receiving a gift is meritorious. Faith in no way is a substitute for our obedience to...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    Amen. "Born." "From Above." Yep, apparently that is what you believe, but Paul never did and still doesn't in Heaven now. Don't know where you come off thinking your statements are always the Mind of God. Nobody said anything like that. Your denial of the Bible teaching of Total Depravity...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    John 3:5; "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6; "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7; "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8; "The wind bloweth where it...

    One baptism?

    The Supernatural Gifts of Instantaneous Miracles? No. Can't go there. There is no situation in Spiritual Reality, or the Bible, where it could be said, "Believers are added to the church," as if "the church" is what the Bible teaches is The Kingdom of God, made up of all saved souls on earth...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    "The unbeliever cannot understand or accept the gospel, for it is foolishness to him; How then can he respond to it and believe in Christ as his Savior? "Every intent of his heart is evil, and he seeks not after God; How then can he turn to Christ for salvation and embrace Him as his...

    One baptism?

    Again, to have a 'faith' which is supposed to appropriate the Holy Spirit's Indwelling that would make you 'alive', that initial 'faith' is dead faith, to start with. So, you're actually trying to brag about having dead faith to save your soul. Would you just stop and fast and pray for a few...

    One baptism?

    I see what you're asking I think, but those realities Peter is speaking about are not a 'picture'. I just call that out for the reason that I hope that's not something you are ever doing elsewhere, i.e., making realities out to be pictures. And then, back to a new 'reality'? Hope not. For...

    One baptism?

    Nope. There is "one baptism" that as in any other word read under the influence of one of the most fundamental tools of Hermeneutics, "if the plain sense of a word makes sense, then we accept it as expressing that initial plain common sense every time", unless the context dictates otherwise...

    One baptism?

    So then, why isn't there anything in the Bible about 'Spirit baptism' that is taught anywhere for a saved soul to be able to discern it, Spiritually? You won't be standing eye-to-Eye with Jesus Christ and tell Him that He walked 60 miles to be baptized by the one man who had the Authority from...

    One baptism?

    The Divine Ordinance Jesus Originated as the means by which He became a member of His Own church He Built took place when He was baptized in water by the man Sent from God to baptize, by His Authority. The Three Divine Members of the Triune Godhead were there Together to witness it. There are...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    Ephesians 2:8; "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" So, you panic and fall back on your training, to always go with illiteracy anytime you're pressed to believe the most apparent contextual harmony between grace and faith, as there is...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    "to everyone that believes: not to him that works for life, and in order to obtain a righteousness of his own; nor to the Jew only, but also to the Gentile, even to everyone, be who he will, that has faith in Christ; not that faith is either the matter, cause, or condition of righteousness, but...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    Romans 5:1; "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2; "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace..." That faith is a gift given by God to those "dead" whom God quickens from the dead, who were ungodly, as Abraham was, "without...

    Do All Baptists Except IFB's Spiritualize The Bible Prophesies To Israel

    Background Check: You speak of "the church of Jesus Christ", as apparently suggesting that all saved souls in the New Testament could or should be considered as being in some way a part of something called "the church of Jesus Christ". Yet, this is from a Fundamental Baptist church which states...
