Smoking cigars is not a sin.
Why the delineation between the two groups.
There is a reason I have the twit on ignore.
Why do some go to Africa and why do some go to China with the gospel? How does that make it two distinct, different gospels?!

How can we who have died to sin still be in it? YOU CAN'T! We who have died have been freed from sin. All things are legal, not all things are helpful.
You think you can sin your way out of salvation, you are still a pervert, and will likely always be one.
Show us where the 12 preached the death burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for our justification. Show us where they are looking back on their salvation they already have and are dead to sin. All things are legal. Go, on. Show us.
You can quote any "New Testament" book outside of Acts 9-Philemon.
Everything post-cross is the one true gospel that Paul preached. Dividing the NT into a two class caste system is foreign until Bullinger, Stam, etc. It is bad theology/exegesis.
Once again, you have not told us what James really means when he says rhetorically, "was not Abraham justified when he offered up his son?"....
johnw thinks you can worship Satan and hate Jesus and still be a Christian because OSAS. I am not the idiot. You guys are.

Romans 3:30King James Version (KJV)
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Hello?
Cue the cliche about greek prepositions
waiting for scripture to demonstrate the Spirit unbaptizing someone out of the Body
Two target audiences is NOT proof of two different gospel messages (Gal. 2:7 demarcation of ministry, not divergent messages).
Yes, Rom. 4-5 shows that salvation is always by grace, but MAD creates a caste system in the early church post-cross?! The conditions for receiving and remaining in grace before Paul was faith+works, etc., but faith alone after Paul. This is not biblical even in the OT.
Why wouldn't we? The gospel that Paul preached was not after man. He didn't receive it of man, neither was he taught it, but by revelation of Jesus ChristMAD makes a big deal about Paul's gospel
I do not think I can sin my way out of salvation (straw man)
I believe it in context, not as a proof text for your views. Justification is about our initial coming to Christ [/B]when we are declared righteous (legal term) and our past sins are dealt with. At that point of conversion, there are no future sins yet. Reconciliation deals with our past sins. My objection is to think we can persist in sheer rebellion, sin, and disobedience with impunity because non-existent sins have blanket forgiveness just because our past sins were dealt with at justification.
Past sins can be dealt with, but this does not preclude the possibility of heinous future sins, including blasphemy, that cannot be swept under the carpet by a holy God (judgment starts with the house of God; Ananias and Sapp were struck down; I Cor. and I Jn. has temporal judgment of believer's sin by death).
MAD teaches two gospels post-cross. The so-called circ gospel is a gospel of faith/works.
Why does everyone have such a problem with the gospel to the circumcision and the gospel to the uncircumcision.
I believe I stated my misgivings earlier, and I don't remember anyone addressing them.
Is the gospel pre-cross different from your post-cross gospel ?
So, a technical loop hole. Yes, you say they are not saved yet, but the other valid point is that they can lose their salvation by not enduring. Acts 2 says that they were saved
Heb. 12 and I Jn. and Pauline writings contradict you (you dispensationalize away the former and are selective with the latter).
God is holy, not a deaf, dumb, blind idol with amnesia.
Jn. 3:16; I Jn. 5:11-13; Jn. 1:12 You say this is circ. This is now, not future. Jesus, Peter, John, James taught grace.
Transition (Acts 2), we agree.
Acts 2 The message is that Jew/Gentiles both come to Christ through the gospel, faith in Christ.
Israel/Judaism is pre-cross
Jesus.... taught grace.
