Indeed, but it also shows how Peter was under the law concerning anything unclean. Amen. Very important point, to be sure.

I think this might be one of those hypothetical things like Tam saying a believer can turn from God and start worshipping satan. I don't believe that's possible. Could be a Catholic in name only, I suppose. Losing salvation? Rather....fallen from grace. Do we know what that means...

It depends on if his faith is based on anything other than the shed blood of Christ. What was that moment of salvation based on? The answer to that is the answer to this question. The works that will be burned up are those that occur after a person has been saved. It's interesting to ask...

It's legalism of any sort. Nothing is to be added for salvation. It can be something so simple as 'you must forgive others in order to be forgiven'. We have people right here on this forum that say they have to do certain things in order to be saved. Endure, be water baptized, etc. Someone...

They disobeyed the law and worshiped other gods. You understand, don't you, that the Jews were law keepers, under the law of MOSES. Why do you think Peter was so astounded that God told him he should enter the house of an UNCLEAN Gentile and eat unclean food? The Jews continued to keep the...

You're talking about the KINGDOM Gospel for the Kingdom on Earth. The faith required of Peter and the rest of the Kingdom believers was that Jesus Christ, the Son of God was the MESSIAH. Every single one of those acts in red are NOT for the body of Christ, who are saved by faith ALONE. You...

No, it means not doing what their fathers had done before. Acts 7:38-40 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: To whom our fathers would not obey, but...

You never make it easy for me, do you nikolai? Jesus Christ is Lord of All. :) Paul is speaking to Jews in Romans 9 about Israel's two sons. Those from Hagar are not the Jews of promise. And Paul is speaking to believers (neither Jew nor Gentile) in Galatians using the law and grace in...

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins There it is. Saved by Baptism ---else there would be no forgiveness of sins.

What's evasive? It's Paul entire message. Nothing is to be added to the cross for salvation. Back in the day, it was "circumcision". You must be circumcised to be saved. Replace the word circumcision with the modern day equivalent : water baptism, communion, speaking in tongues...

Sitting on thrones speaks of Power and Administration rather than actual sitting.

So you don't see Jesus and the apostles were preaching a KIngdom on earth where Christ, their Messiah, would sit upon the throne of David? And you don't see a Heavenly Kingdom where the members of the body of Christ are seated with Him in heavenly places? The Jews were promised a Kingdom on...

You know that the Jews are God's chosen people. They knew God and believed in Him, but what so many Jews failed to accept was Jesus Christ as the Promised Messiah. The Jews had been given the Law and the Covenants and the Promises, and their salvation was to be received when they were IN their...

Well, it isn't what I say, but it is what the Bible says. Faith and works have been required in every dispensation I can think of......except those who are saved by Paul's gospel, which is faith alone. It isn't that the works saved them, but that they were required by God. The Kingdom...

Exactly. As I said before, while in the Catholic Church, I never once heard the gospel.

Most were saved, but wouldn't receive forgiveness of sins until the Lord's coming in glory....if they endured to the end.

In the kingdom gospel, they were to believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God and their Messiah. That Messiah that would bring in the kingdom of heaven on earth. The believing Jews were expecting it to come any day, and thus they were to go through the tribulation that preceded Jesus' second...

When I was a Catholic, we were not allowed to attend another church. I wouldn't be surprised it that weren't still the case.

If you guys would just accept that John and the other disciples were preaching the Kingdom gospel and not the gospel of grace, you'd stop with this back and forth that has nothing to do with you.

The Lord's last words on the cross were, "It is finished". Nothing is to be added or can be added to the finished work of the cross, other than what the Lord Himself requires. For some, faith and works were required. For others NOTHING was to be added. There is no end to what man can...
