Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins, without a true repentance from sin, is just a show.

You are in denial. No, we are not "in the flesh". We are to be walking in the Spirit after rebirth. It is written..."But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." (Rom 8:9) More...

Blech. I can't understand how you can believe the old man can be destroyed (Rom 6:6), and we are raised with Christ to walk in newness of life (Rom 6:4), but still walk as unbelievers ? It works a lot better than when I was defending sin. Save your pity for the sinners

I'm sorry you feel yourself unworthy of that holy Root. He was trying to get them to turn from all sin. You can find it in Rom 6:6-7, and Rom 8:1-4,9-11, 1 Cor 1:9, and 1 Cor 2:6, and 2 Cor 5:21, and Gal 5:24, and Eph 2:1-3, and 2 Tim 3:17, and Titus 1:15-16, and lots of other places too. It...

You are so proud !

Doesn't he teach about walking in the Spirit instead of in the flesh? (Rom 8) Doesn't Paul teach on freedom from sin ? (Rom 6, Gal 5) Your answer makes me think that Paul does NOT teach on loving God and neighbor. I know he does though. "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not...

I would hope you consider yourself among those who have been grafted into the branch. (Rom 11) I don't believe your diagnosis. That murder furnished us the way to righteousness Crucifixion with Him, with the affections and lusts. That is good news to those who want to serve God without fault...

The verse did include the word "saints". Do any saints not love God with all their heart, soul, and strength ? Do any saints fail to love their neighbor as they love themselves ? Those things are part of the "rope" you hold in disdain. We'll see. It was the effects of the cross that are the...

I am glad you won't be doing the judging on the last day. As the wages of sin is death, (Rom 6:23),condemnation precedes salvation. As the works of the Law were not a part of my conversion, I earned nothing. Right. But I, we, cannot illustrate my/our conversion to others without loving God...

I am glad you think that. I am not going to respond, until you can trim it down some.

I have, as sin is what I repented of. It has been many years since my last lie.

What ? You commanding me to actually do something for my salvation ? What happened the to trust and belief without any corresponding actions that you think Paul preached?

Answer the question. Answer the question. Are you are counting on salvation based on trusting Paul, without love for God or neighbor ? Eeek. I trust God has supplied all I need to remain faithful unto death. Nobody will be judged for my behavior but me. I'ld be wise to keep walking as Jesus...

The things Peter taught on the day of Pentecost are what made me a Christian. Turning from sin and being washed of past sins by the blood of Christ. There are no other requirements, besides enduring faithfully until my end. Why don't you think the following is the preaching of the cross ?..."Ye...

I see this teaching/preaching in Acts 2... "But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the...

Can one "trust in God" without loving Him above all else ? Can one "trust in God" without loving their neighbors as they want to be loved ? KInda' like Paul in 1 Cor 9:27..."But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself...

I should hope not. If my observations have been received as accusations, then I would pea with you to check your consciences. Do you know of ay false doctrines that don't accommodate sin ?

Do you have any examples of the twelve preaching of the kingdom after Jesus' resurrection ?

You are correct, if "your works" are circumcision, feast keeping, sabbath keeping, tithing, dietary rules, etc.. But if my works are loving God above anything else and loving my neighbor as myself, you are wrong Those who don't love God with all their heart, soul, and might, will be lost. Those...

Every false doctrine accommodates sin. Those who teach those doctrines accommodate sin. I don't recall Paul teaching any doctrine that accommodated sin. Or of anyone accusing him of doing so.
