21 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173263 | ||
But if you say Thursday you disregard the Scriptures. Mark specifically says: "And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus." (Mark 15:42-43) If it was the day before the Sabbath (sabbaton, singular) as Mark says, then it was FRIDAY not Thursday. |

22 | Faith AFTER | John 5:24 | koscheiman | 173798 | ||
I totally disagree with your analysis of the Scriptures. I believe that man plays a part in his salvation thru his obedience to the commands of God. Jesus said, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned" (Mark 16:16). |

You are correct Baptism without faith does not save and that is exactly what Mark 16:16 says belief (faith) plus baptism equals salvation . Of course if you do not believe you are not going to be baptized it is as simple as that. Peter said in his epistle "doth now save you, even baptism" (1 Peter 3:21). It cannot be any plainer than that. Also Alexander Campbell did not teach baptimal regeneration which is defined as Baptizing someone without their consent, knowledge or understanding for the purpose of forgiveness of sins and saving them from the wrath of hell. Those preachers of the restoration movement were not heretics they merely took the teaching of the reformers the rest of the way back to the Bible. The church of Christ unlike denominations teaches that we should speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. | ||||||

Yes we do. We obey the conditions God has set in order to receve His grace. If you say no faith is completely free you are correct we cannot earn it yet we must accept it by doing the coditions set by God. | ||||||
26 | Faith AFTER | John 5:24 | koscheiman | 173998 | ||
Indeed man is not justified by works of the law, but I am not advocating works of the law. Do you not know there are three types of works referred to in the Bible (1) works of the law (2) works of the flesh (3) works of obedience. The first two are spoken agaist as not being able to save but James says "Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself." (James 2:17) Jesus said in John 6:29 that faith is a work. |

30 | gift of the Holy Spirit have ceased | Acts 2:38 | koscheiman | 173135 | ||
Act 2:39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. what promise? Act 2:33 Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. Act 1:4 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: Where did God make this promise? Acts 2:16-21 but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: (17) And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: (18) Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. (19) And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: (20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day. (21) And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "All flesh" equals Jews and Gentiles not necessarily everybody. Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:14-17 Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: (15) who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (16) for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (17) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Receiving the gift of the Spirit was not automatic upon baptism. Apostles came from Jerusalem and laid there hands on them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: All Paul knows about the Ephesians is that they are believers and they've been baptized. He finds out they were wrongly baptized explains to them more fully and: Acts 19:2-6 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (6) And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Bible says the gifts would cease: Ephesians 4:8-13 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. (9) (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? (10) He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) (11) And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: When He ascended He gave gifts (this is also what Acts 2:33 says) The gifts were given to equip the saints Paul stated that these saints "knew in part and prophsied in part" 1 Corinthians 13:9 Gifts to continue "till we all attain the unity of the faith" There will come a time (has come) when complete prophecy and faith. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. (17) That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. The man of God in the Bible refer to the prophets. The Scriptures as a unit have brought completiom to prophecy and the faith. |

Actually the Greek in Eph 2:8-9 says "the faith" not just faith. Like in Jude 3 where it reads "Contend earnestly for the faith" refferring to the system of belief known as the gospel. Secondly, the context of 1Peter 3:21 is plainly salvation through water. As Noah was saved by the flood so we are saved by baptism. I really do not know how the Scripture could word it more plainly. Also James quite plainly says we are not saved by faiyh alone James 2:24. |

We are saved by the gospel of Jesus Christ According to 1 cor 15 that is the death, burial, and resurrection. Likewise according to Paul when we are baptised we re-enact the gospel and are raised to a new life Try reading Rom 6 for a discussion of baptism. | ||||||

35 | gifts of the Holy Spirit | Acts 2:38 | koscheiman | 173736 | ||
The day of Pentecost and the city of Jerusalem set the stage for Acts 2. All that there was of Judaism was symbolizied in the city and the temple. The church had its beginninig in Jerusalem because its roots were in the types, shadows, prophecies, and promises of the OT. The coming of the Spirit upon the apostles brought the question, "What meaneth this?" (Acts 2:12). Peter's sermon is in response to this question. Read the chapter carefully and notice that Peter uaed one of their question thruout his sermon. 1. And when "this" sound was heard Acts 2:16 2. What meaneth "this" Acts 2:12 3. Be "this" known unto you Acts 2:14 4. "This" is that Acts 2:16 5. He hath poured forth "this" Acts 2:33 6. Now when they heard "this" Acts 2:37 The chapter can almost be outlined around the word "this." In response to their question Peter quoted the propecy of Joel which is the key to the outpouring of the Spirit on the apostles. It also includes the miraculous gifts that would be imparted by the laying on of the apostles hands this is clear from the mention of "sons and daughters, young and old, servants and handmaidens." The statement of Joel is a summary of the miraculous during the infancy of the church. Keep iin mind when Peter quotes Joel he is responding to the question in verse 12, but Joel's prophecy extends beyond what the apostles received. It also includes Cornelius and the miraculous gifts received by the laying on of the apostles hands. All this is the sum of the miraculous work of the Spirit from Pentecost until revelation was completed and comfirmed. All this is summarized in the prophecy of Joel. Since Peter was explaining Joel's prophecy, and the prophecy included spritual gifts through the laying on of the apostle's hands, would it not be resonable to conclude that Peter's promise of the gift of the Holy Spirit would be what the prophecy promised? Joel's prophecy has nothing to do with the non-miraculous. Why would Peter quote a prophecy having to do only with the miraculous and then conclude by promising a non-miraculous gift without any explanation? |

36 | Spirit received is miraculous never non | Acts 2:38 | koscheiman | 173772 | ||
It is a mistake to read passages that were written to churches that had miraculous gifts and the references to their having received the Spirit, and equate that with our situation today when there are no miraculous gifts, nor do we need them. Confusion results when we fail to make this distinction. It is my conviction that the misunderstanding of Acts 2:38 has led to reading into other passages that which was never there in the first place. The letters that were written to churches were to churches that had miraculous gifts. When references are made in the epistles about their having received the Spirit, what would they have understood this to mean? When miraculous manifestations were visable in their assemblies, would they ever have thought of having the Spirit in a non-miraculous way as we do? |

It is the gift of the Holy Spirit consisting of many manifestations. And no we do not receive the Holy Spirit today as the purpose for his indwelling is past. You may ask what was His purpose; revelation and confirmation. Since the NT has been fully revealed and confirmed by miracles it no longer needs to be. Plus the way that the Holy Spirit was imparted is no longer in existance. The Holy Spirit was imparted in two ways 1-by the baptism of the Holy Spirit which only occurred twice. 2-thru the laying on of the apostles hands. | ||||||

1 Corinthians 13 will shed light on this for you. First of all in verse 9 it says "in part" which is said in view of the temporary use and purpose of the spiritual gifts. While the church had such helps, the knowledge of spiritual things was but partial. verse 10- "That which is perfect (complete)" has reference to the completed NT also called "the perfect law of liberty" in James 1:25. When that was given to the church, the temporary and partial information derived thru the spiritual gifts was to be no longer necessary thus "that which is in part shall be done away." E. M. Zerr |

Paul said miracles would cease: Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. (1 Corinthians 13:8) When the gospel was fully revealed: And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (Ephesians 4:11-13) |
