Yes, the ones that God chose to save , NOT based upon that theology/religion, but upon Him getting to them the message of Jesus, and bringing them to faith in him!

they would renounce and seperate from islam at that time!

Yeah....that is just a silly way to avoid my question.

A person who has faith in Jesus, IS NOT a Muslim.

Again, IS a muslim saved (not, "Can they be saved if they trust in Jesus instead of Islam)?

I do know the purpose....apparently you do not.
Nuh-uh, you don't. Childish.


Oh, the danger inherent in that statement.
Danger?! Your soteriology teaches this faith is a gift, what can be dangerous about a gift from God?


Thanks, but I will be assured of my ABSOLUTE weakness, and rely on Christ and His word for how to live my life, instead of relying on my "strong faith" to get me through situations that Christ commands us to avoid.
News flash. Bragging about your weakness is no different than what you accuse me of. You still retain the title of False Dichotomy King, btw.

He told me not to do it...He probably knows more than me. :)



Really? Because it says EXACTLY what I am saying...that we should not be allied with unbelievers.
You just keep believing that while working on your acting skills.

It was childish of you to say it in the first place, yes... "If you were just smart like me, you would understand"

ROFL>

So? Everything I have is a gift from God; it is still DANGEROUS and FOOLISH to trust in those things.

For you to say that a person should not be a pastor, because they don't rely on their "strong faith" to preserve them through situations that God says to avoid in the first place, is the statement of a very foolish, immature man. If you wish to argue about "who has better faith" I suggest you go elsewhere.

Yeah. Cause admitting your weakness is exactly equivalent to bragging about your strength.... try again, my immature friend. :rolleyes:

Nice. And now you attack me personally. Could you please find someone else to argue with?

Nobody here is as smart as you.

.Possibly the dumbest thing I've heard...its dangerous to trust an eternal gift. Just...wow.

Correction...YOU said to avoid them as that is YOUR understanding of the text. The Bible says to trust in God, the author and perfector of my faith. Its sad you cannot do the same.

Only a fool would not understand anything done with the wrong intention is sin. Trying to shame me for trusting in God and the faith He bestowed on me was done from impure intentions.

Yeah...nothing you said was an attack, hypocrite.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight

Yeah, that whole Bible thing...you can ignore that.

Correction...YOU said to avoid them as that is YOUR understanding of the text. The Bible says to trust in God, the author and perfector of my faith. Its sad you cannot do the same.

No, God says to avoid them. "Do not partner with unbelievers" is unbelievably, exceedingly clear.

Sad that you tout your "strong faith", yet you cannot trust such simple words. "I can do it!"....reminds me of someone else's boast....

Mat 26:33 Peter answered him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."


Only a fool would not understand anything done with the wrong intention is sin. Trying to shame me for trusting in God and the faith He bestowed on me was done from impure intentions.

Wow. You have the spiritual gift of mind reading. Interesting.

"Faith" is not some gooshy feeling. "Faith" is trusting in, and submitting to what God has said. Since God said "Come out from them" and "do not partner with unbelievers" it is UNFAITHFULNESS to do otherwise...despite how great you think your "faith" is...


Yeah...nothing you said was an attack, hypocrite.

No doubt I am a hypocrite. But I have not engaged in personal attacks against your person (i.e. "Wow that beard looks stupid.")

We agree...

They are Muslims at the time of salvation, but will renounce and forsake the false religion of the false prophet of islam!

No, we DON'T agree, apparently, unless I am misunderstanding you.

A turn to Christ, is a turning TO Christ for salvation, and at the same time turning AWAY from, and abandoning Islam. You cannot be a Muslim and a Christian, at the same time, even for a moment. Being a saved Christian, and being a Muslim, are contradictory beliefs that cannot be simultaneously held..

Do you agree with that? Yes, no?

I am saying that a muslim receives Jesus as their Lord/Saviour, born again, and no longer is a Muslim, follower of Allaf and the false prophet, but of the true Messiah Jesus!

he went up to Mecca a pagan, came back a Christian, and renouncer of islam!

So, you would never say "Maybe their are some practicing muslims, who are ACTUALLY saved Christian"? Right?

If so, why on earth would you say that of Catholics?

No one who holds to the tenants of islam are saved, but there are some catholic who despite their bad doctrines are saved, as they really hold to salvation as grace alone faith alone, but are not able to fully realise that they need to leave 'mother church!"

Catholic doctrine does contain the gospel. But it is buried under false doctrine, tradition, dogma, and superstition. I’d have to agree that one could believe the gospel but still hold on to false doctrines only because it is not doctrine external to the actual gospel that saves…but I don’t really see how. Perhaps it’s holding on to the church as a final authority or interpreter of Scripture where as we Baptists consider the Word of God as our authority.


Many here would say a CoC member couldn’t remain CoC if saved because baptism regeneration is a false doctrine – but it is not a “false gospel” as they don’t believe baptism saves.

would see it as there are many in the church of Rome who are ignornat to the real meaning and doctrines that rome has, so to them, eucheriest is a communion, baptising a rite just done as tradition, but they still see jesus as only way to get saved!

They are ow saved, andno longer really hold to traditional catholic teachings/doctrine, so
They need to come out of that church !

You either do not understand the Catholic religion, or you do not understand the gospel. I am going to assume that it is the former, as this is usually the case.

The Catholics do not teach salvation by faith apart from works. They salvation by merits, some which come from self, some which come from the saints, Mary, and their false version of Jesus.

I would not be one of them. CoC does not teach works based salvation. Instead, they teach baptism as a means by which men trust in Christ. It is roughly equivalent to the "sinner's prayer" silliness which some Baptists hold to (as in, "You can believe all you want, but until you have 'prayed the prayer' of salvation, you aren't saved"). Dumb doctrine, wrong doctrine, but not a "different gospel" like the Catholics and Mormons teach.

Yeshua1;2034501 but there are some catholic who despite their bad doctrines are saved said:
You have a fundamentally flawed understanding of the Gospel. You cannot just "believe" in "something." Catholics get the foundational elements of the Gospel WRONG.

as they really hold to salvation as grace alone faith alone, but are not able to fully realize that they need to leave 'mother church!"

That would be truly hard to believe, considering the catechisms, classes, etc., that Catholics have to go through. But even if that were somehow possible, we are still commanded to separate from unbelievers, and not to partner with them. Since we cannot look into the heart of a person, if they are Catholic, or Muslim, or Atheist, we just have to ASSUME they are an unbeliever, and obey God....so we do not partner with them.

Don't you hold that salvation os a gift from God, that He chooses unto whom Grace is applied towards, and that salvation is not at all based upon what church attending, what that church holds to etc?

rome teaches another false Gpsel, but salvation can and does come to some there, despite that!

I would say that while in RCC, sinners have been saved apart from Rome teaching, but once saved, need to come out from there!

The Catholics I know, most certainly do not believe in a works based salvation, perhaps you are being entirely too broad.

For someone who holds such hatred toward the Catholic faith, you don't spend much time learning about it. You probably heard these things from one of your professors at the Bible college you attended, who had heard it from his professor, etc. Before you start spewing hatred for a set of beliefs, you really ought to know what they are. What you are saying here is totally false, and largely without meaning. Merits from saints, Mary and a false version of Jesus? Whatever are you talking about?
