1 | Double Dutch? | Bible general Archive 2 | Evangelica | 100893 | ||
you know this is a great website for sharing the gospel. i was glad to have found the free evangelism packet on it. http://www.wayofthemaster.com/BiblicalEvangelismBooklet.pdf it shows how people use love, joy, happiness in their approach to people, but they are accepting Christ for the wrong reason if they do that. Cause they need to see why they need the Savior (salvation from the judgement to come)and then make a decision. *They need to know the true message of the Gospel. not a watered down version. |

2 | BOOK OF LIFE | NT general Archive 1 | Evangelica | 100889 | ||
we arent free from actually sinning, but we are free to make the choice not to sin. As Christians God wants to make us more and more like Christ every day, and as we grow in our walk with God through reading/studying the bible and in prayer with God...he will convict us of things we are doing wrong in our lives and we are able to change because we love God and because the Holy Spirit empowers us to make these changes. If we dont have the HOly SPirit then we cant make these changes, and if we dont have the Holy Spirit then we are not saved. If we do sin after being saved, we can go to God in prayer at the time we do it or when we realize it later...we pray to God to forgive us so that we are in right relationship with God and in fellowship all the time instead of something hindering us and making us feel like we are hiding from God. *When we accepted Christ as our Savior, we were forgiven for past, present, and future sins. So when we were saved we were forgiven and put in permanent right realtionship with God as far as judgement and punishment...for there is no condemnation in those who are saved (dont remember the verse location but that is the verse). also you have a wrong idea of what "ANYTHING" in prayer to God means....it means that if we ask anything in his name and it is in his will, it will be granted. also you took the last vers out of context too..."two or more gathered" is talking about dicipline in the church/believers. as far as when God is with someone or a group of people Jesus said "I am with you always even to the end of the world." so, when we are saved the HOly SPirit lives in us, and God is with us always, not just when we meet with others. if that was the case...you would need a few people to be with you to pray anytime you want to pray because if GOd isnt there then he cant hear you. but we know, from scripture, that because we are saved we can talk to God through Jesus and in teh Holy SPirit to pray to God. we have access now through Jesus because of what he did for us and who he is "our great High Priest". |

3 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Evangelica | 100883 | ||
you have to take into consideration all the verses that talk about salvation, baptism, and the holy spirit...otherwise people take things out of context and some one ends up beleiving something that is not biblical. Yes we must belive and then be baptised. baptism is just symbolic of what we believe. Just to clarify: this is water baptism we are talking about, not the baptism of the Holy Spirit (which happens at the momemt of conversion...he lives in us to help us live our new life in Christ from the moment we believe. and he is our teacher of the scriptures). |

5 | how can i get the powers of the holy spi | NT general Archive 1 | Evangelica | 100844 | ||
unfortunately, you are mistaken and it may be because you are in a denomination that is not teaching what scripture says. If you read and study scripture yourself, putting aside what anyone has told you about this subject, then you would see that Gifts of the spirit are as i listed them originally, and Fruit of the SPirit are patience, love, kindeness ect... For some reason, if you wrote this topic to start a discussion you should not do that, because this is a forum for people who do not understand something or are seeking an answer. As such, if someone answers it is your responsibility to read the bible and study that answer after someone posts an answer for you. and to answer one of your other questions... the baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at conversion..when a person is saved. Everyone who is saved has the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of their salvation, the seal of God, and because we have him in us, he will be our councelor and guide in our new life in Christ as well as our scriptural teacher (this is per scripture, not my opinion, but i agree with it because it is in scripture). |

this is not about role in the church, this is about relation to God as one united group of people. this quote is often mis used and taken out of context (just as this person has answered) | ||||||
