1 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | kalos | 56593 | ||
Repentance "is a VALID condition for salvation... ...when understood as a synonym for faith." According to John MacArthur, "Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jeus Christ." He goes on to list "The False Additions to Faith." They include: 1) surrender, 2) baptism, 3) repentance, and 4) confession. . . . He explains, Repentance "is a VALID condition for salvation when understood as a synonym for faith. It is a FALSE addition to faith when understood as a prerequisite, requiring the cleansing of the life in order to be saved" (p. 2073, Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition, Moody, 1986, 1995. Emphasis added.). To repent means much more than to have feelings of remorse. One can feel bad about his sin, but never change. Just feeling bad about your sins does not save anyone. Also please note what the word repentance actually means: To repent is "to change the way you think and act." Surely one does not have to change the way he thinks and acts BEFORE God will save him. Salvation WILL change the way you think and act. Changing in this manner is the RESULT, not the CAUSE, of salvation. |

2 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56645 | ||
First of all "We ought to obey God rather than men" Acts 5:29 Just because a man put something in a book, doesn't make it right. "THE BIBLE IS RIGHT" Mr McArthur disagree's with Jesus then, Because Jesus said in Luke 13:3,5 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. And Matt 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; These are the things that make faith perfect. James 2:22,23. |

Sorry buddy, but Mr. MacArthur spent much more time writing his commentary than you did in writing your post. Did you actually read Hank's footnote like Rextar, Hank and myself have tried to tell you? |
