none of those scriptures are saying your works bring salvation, you cannot be saved by good deeds other wise we wouldn't have needed Jesus.James is talking about doing good things to help and show others you have faith.abraham was told his works count as debt before God.saved by grace so none...
acts s2 vs 38 says repent and be baptised, again repenting requires to be of an age to have sinned, in vs 39 the reference to the eternal promise not the promise of baptism.the word used is G3813παιδίονpaidionpahee-dee'-onNeuter diminutive of G3816; a...
lol I did not dodge the question at all you just do not understand Grace.If Jesus wanted us to keep the law for our salvation why did he come to fullfill that law, why did he reduce it to two when asked?salvation is now through Grace not works so none shall boast, we keep the commandments out of...
we will do the commandments as Jesus said when he reduced it to two but we do it out of love not as a requirement of salvation, instead of all the sacrifices of the ot we have a one final absolute sacrifice that was Jesus to take away the fact that the law leads to sin and death.can I ask you do...
Jesus kept the old laws as he would being a jew but his biggest problem was with the religious leaders of the time who putting unnecessary burdens on the jews and often ignoring the rules themselves.Your sins are forgiven past present and future so you are saved once you accept Jesus but once...
actually Grace is misunderstood especially by those who do not believe the blood of Christ attones for all their sins and still rely on their good works or self righteousness.the law is called the ministry of death, Jesus brought the ten commandments down to two and he fullfilled the needed...
so it does not say about baptising children just their entire household.it says repent and be baptised, a child would be considered unaccountable for their sin so it is reasonable to assume baptism was for adults.
what is this death sentence you think God has imposed?salvation means spending eternity in heaven do you think God would make you do that, would you want God to be a tyrannt and make you believe.if you do not believe in heaven and hell what are you going on about as it does not apply to you.
I actually think it is a warning about returning to the old law and self righteousness as opposed to trusting in salvation through Grace by the sacrifice of Jesus.denying yourself is more about counting yourself or your own reputation and deeds as nothing, like "burning the old self or flesh"...
not sure where my post went so I will try again.If you don't believe it what difference does it make to you what the rules are?If you wanted to join a club and the rules were so difficult would you blame that club for you not being able to join.the ten commandments were given in response to...
