    What say the scriptures?

    Is anyone willing to do the work I'm finding a scripture with the word baptism, or any derivative of the word baptism such as baptized, that speaks of its purpose and post those scriptures here. Citing a page full of scriptures with the word baptism and asking me to sift through them is not...

    What say the scriptures?

    Ok, thank you. Please pick from this list of scriptures, and some of them do, that speak of the purpose of baptism in Jesus's name (not the baptism of John).

    What say the scriptures?

    I've not seen a verse that says the purpose thereof is to publicly identify with Jesus. There is certainly a commitment of individuals and the church to disciple as per Matthew 28:20, but there's no verse that says you get baptized "in order for" the church to disciple you. So what do the...

    Logistics of accepting Jesus

    I agree. The article said "Second, we are saved by faith alone, but that faith is always followed by works.", and it did substantiate it.

    Logistics of accepting Jesus

    Accepting Jesus as Lord as in Colossians 2:6, and I think in general accepting God's offer of salvation

    Logistics of accepting Jesus

    That depends. The "Biblical" phrase is Colossians 2:6 As you therefore have "received Christ Jesus the Lord", so walk in Him, The evangelical phrase is "accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior." There is no such method in the Bible. It's time for that to go away.

    Logistics of accepting Jesus

    “Why do we have to “accept” Christ to make our salvation count? If Christ’s sacrifice is wholly sufficient, why do I have to do something (“believe”) to get it? Doesn’t that make it not truly “Christ alone”?” Colossians 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him...

    Logistics of accepting Jesus

    Wanting it won't make it appear in your home. You have to go pick it up, or do the due diligence to have it delivered. If nothing but Jesus's blood was required, then everyone on earth since the time of His death would have instantly been saved, whether they wanted to or not.

    Saved By Grace Or Saved By Works?

    Through faith is not synonymous with through faith alone. Agreed, but the Bible never speaks of the dangers of someone thinking they "earn" salvation. That's a modern day concern and catchphrase. The Bible never says it has nothing to do with what you do. It only says not of works. "Doing"...

    What made the Israelites so special as a people...?

    I think it's because they came from Abraham. As to why Abraham was special, I think God only knows.
