And that's exactly what I was thinking but couldn't seem to articulate.

Yes, well that portion of Acts 22 is referring to what is written in Acts 9. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the...

"Evasiveness is tantamount to a denial". I like that, and it's very true. It's the same as giving out wrong answers. A dead giveaway. I'll have to take back what I said earlier about not really knowing if someone is saved or not. Members of the same body certainly can recognize one...

You're wrong. Paul is not talking about the resurrection at all. Paul is speaking of the spiritual wisdom that is given those of us who are saved by his gospel. Had they princes of this world known this hidden wisdom of God that Paul speaks of, they would not have crucified the Lord of...

Put up the scripture and let's see how you've managed to read into this one.

Excellent point, the whole counsel of God. Following the Damascus Road experience, Paul was preaching Christ the Messiah, the Son of God, just like the others. He knew nothing else. Ananias told Paul, "For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard." He had...

Ah ha. I agree, there are lines which no true believer will cross.

You can use the same verse over and over and it will still not say what you claim. Saul was out to destroy all those who preached Christ as the Messiah. Israel's faith was in their Messiah. "They only were hearing it said...." They only knew Paul was preaching faith in that same name, Jesus...

Have you ever thought of the possibility that God is using Putin to bring forth the beginning of tribulation and the revealing of the Antichrist? If He is, you're standing against God.

Ah, well I'm slow to the starting gate as usual. Now you're going to make me concentrate on your list, and that's all well and good. It just doesn't sound "right" to me, but I'll look again. It's down to the matter of whether they were actually begotten of the gospel. Assuming they were...

You've "heard" it, but it's quite clear you have zip spiritual understanding....even unto now.

Oh look. I see the number 666. Maybe that's a sign the antichrist is near. You'd best stop thinking about Putin, and ask yourself whether you're saved by faith alone or not. If not, you're lost and whatever Putin does will pale in comparison to what you'll suffer in hell fire..

Why aren't you this upset about the aborted babies? You're being a hypocrite, as well and being completely ignorant of Paul's gospel. Paul's gospel is full of mystery. Things that have never been revealed before the Risen Lord revealed them to Paul.

Here's why....because any good thing that I can come up with is nothing but a work of the flesh. In fact, I'd often end up thinking I'm doing something good only to realize the Lord had a better plan, and I'd merely gotten in His way. My own plans always fall short of what I wanted...

So, you think churches were IN CHRIST like the individual members of the body who have been baptized by the Spirit into His body? That faith which was in Jesus Christ. Of course the Kingdom believers had faith in their Messiah. Still NOT the same gospel. :)

The morals and ethics of the body of Christ are totally the work of the Spirit in us.

Because I believe we are kept by the Power of God. We are His workmanship, and He causes us both to will and do His good pleasure. These are not idle promises. Does the Lord keep us from falling or not? Well, I've stumbled many a time, but I have never fallen. Never in a million years would...

Why can't we just say a person accepted the Gospel as Paul presented it? Is there any way we can tell if a person has actually believed the Gospel? Not that I know of. They can give their testimony, and if includes faith alone in the Cross of Christ, then we can assume they are believers...

Oh, you sounded worried....maybe angry would be a better word. As I see it you have NO clue what MAD is about. Figuring out who is being addressed, by whom are they being addressed, at what time in history. This is what we are expected to do when we read God's Word. Consider what was...

I don't think you even know what rightly dividing and dispensations is all about. If you did, you wouldn't be making any such silly statements are you do here.
