401 | How did baptism heal naaman of leprosy? | 1 Pet 3:21 | disciplerami | 75812 | ||
I agree, but I wouldn't use the word 'sacramental.' I have read your background, but do you agree that this is immersion as well? Good day. |

402 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75811 | ||
It's not because you agree with me, but because the argument is good, I have saved this one in my personal files. I appreciate it. Good day. |

Tim, that's much better than how I said it. Right on, friend. Good day. |

Tim, I'll check out your post. Agreement is good :) Good day. |

Joe, I have to admit that I learn something new every once in a while, too. Maybe you missed the entire post, but I pointed out that it is the force of the present particle. WHILE, NOT SINCE, is the idea. The Concordant Literal Version depicts this idea: Heb 6:6 and falling aside, to be renewing them again intoto repentance while crucifying for themselves the Son of *God again and holding Him up to infamy." I have seen good and righteous people turn back to the world. For all intents and purposes, they crucify Jesus again. The prodigal son is an example of someone who comes to his senses, quits his sinning, and in repentance returns to the father. |

406 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75804 | ||
Amen. TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED. No one desires or delights in such truths, but it is better to know this possibility than to live in a careless way and thinking that salvation is assured. I might also say, by way of adding to your thoughts, that it is also very hard to fall away. It takes a wholesale turning away from God. Have a good day. |

407 | disciplerami, it is impossible (Heb 6:6) | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75780 | ||
Hi, you have to study a little more in-depth on that passage, but the exact meaning shows the impossibility of repenting WHILE he crucify to himself the Son of God. The word ANASTAUROUNTAS, for crucify, is a present participle. So WHILE they crucify Him, it is impossible. If they quit crucifying Him, then it is no longer impossible to renew them again to repentance. Is it likely that they will repent? I would say it is pretty unlikely. Thanks for the note, have a good day. |

408 | Without eating, would Adam die? | Gen 2:16 | disciplerami | 75776 | ||
Hi, thanks for the comment, but not so. If we vegged out, or did not procreate, we would die out in a generation or two. The point being that Adam was mortal. |

409 | How did baptism heal naaman of leprosy? | 1 Pet 3:21 | disciplerami | 75775 | ||
Yes, the instance of Naaman is a good example of salvation by grace through faith. Healing is equated to God's grace and salvation. Dipping 7 times equates with the obedience of faith. But 1 Peter 3:21 is is even better. Peter even uses the word ANITUPON, antitype, and the water Noah was brought safely through the type. The baptism that saves was foreshadowed in the days of Noah. Incredible. People continue to say, but you can't be saved by works, you can't trust in works, God's salvation is a gift. True on every point. However, Noah couldn't be saved unless he got in the boat: he did it by faith. Now Noah might have been tempted to trust in the boat for his salvation, but not when he built it. He had never seen a flood, but trusted God. He built the ark when human reason would say it was ridiculous. When he got off of the ark, it is more likely that he credited God for his salvation and not his works. Same with baptism, it is a work of faith, but the faith is not in the work but in God. "YOU ARE SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS, FOR WHOEVER IS BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST, IS CLOTHED WITH CHRIST." - Gal. 3:26,27 The salvation is through faith in Christ, not faith in the watery grave. But being clothed with Christ (his righteousness?) occurs at baptism. |

414 | David F, please answer the questions | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75752 | ||
Yes, salvation is a gift that is given with conditions. Confess Me before men and I'll confess you before the Father. Deny Me and... How does one lose salvation? Same as Israel, turn to the world, away from God, be faithless, be disobedient (Hebrews 3:18,19) You do not lose your salvation easily. See my note to David F. If someone loses their salvation, they can repent and return. Good day. |

415 | disciplerami, how do we keep salvation? | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75751 | ||
David F, what you have related here is how I understand losing one's salvation. A Christian sins, probably daily, but he doesn't fall into and out of grace daily. The blood of Christ covers the sin immediately. That immediate blessing doesn't release the Brother from the necessity of reflection, remorse and repentance, but he does have immediate forgiveness. In order for him to lose his salvation, he has to shake a fist at God, he has to make the decision that he doesn't care anymore. He in essence, becomes party to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Then God removes from him the saving grace and his sins are recorded against him. You are correct. It isn't easy to fall, but it is definitely possible. |

416 | disciplerami, reconcile with Rom 6:23 | Heb 6:6 | disciplerami | 75747 | ||
"Do not be ignorant, but understand what is the will of the Lord." - Ephesians 5:17 "There is no sin, that in a time of weakness" ...that is not forgiven. -- this is the finished thought. My point is that Christians, who are walking in the light, who trust in the promises of God and show great faith, will sin and be forgiven instantly. 1 John 1:6ff shows that the blood of Christ continually cleanses the sins away of the person WALKING in the light. The cleansing is contingent upon walking and staying in the light. Among Christians, there is a sin that IS NOT unto death and there is a sin that IS unto death. The person who sins without remorse, without repentance in his heart, is committing sin unto death. The brother who sins, who hates the sin he commits, is forgiven and we should pray for such a one (1 John 5:16) |

417 | Without eating, would Adam die? | Gen 2:16 | disciplerami | 75746 | ||
Adam was possessed with certain physical drives: the drive to eat and drink, the drive to have sexual relations, and to acheive. Without any of these drive, man would cease to exist. He was an immortal soul inside of a mortal body. He got hungry and, without food, would be malnourished. He got thirsty and, without water, would die of poisons. He had sexual urges, without which, the earth would not be populated. Without the drive to acheive, he would not contribute to his and others' welfare. What do you think? | ||||||

419 | disciplerami, Are we sinful by nature? | Rom 5:12 | disciplerami | 75685 | ||
I believe man is NOT born with a corrupted nature, and man has free will to choose to do only right, but he will sin. You will say this proves that it is a universal problem of the inherited nature. I say that life has too many challenges and choices to not ever sin. Adam sinned and he didn't have the sin nature and he had free will to choose. He sinned. What was David confessing in Psalm 51? He was confessing his sin, but not a sin nature. |

420 | Is sin inherited from father and mother? | Rom 5:12 | disciplerami | 75684 | ||
Let me see if I understand this: 1. You believe that all men who go to hell and going because the nature they inherited can do nothing but sin- but you stick to the argument that they end of going to hell because of their own sin. 2. You believe that God hand-picked the specific individuals who would be saved-a minority of all people-and he places no conditions on them: even if they act like the devil, they still go to heaven. 3. You believe that Jesus Christ blood would be wasted if he truly died and tasted death for everyone, therefore you proudly proclaim it was pointless for him to die for those God didn't elect to save. 4. You believe that the Gospel isn't good enough news to prick and convert people, so God has to send upon those He elected an 'irresistable grace.' Just curious, did the soldier at the cross receive that irresistible grace to make him say, 'truly this was the Son of God,' or was he convinced by the things he saw? 5. You believe that Christians are remain so depraved that God has to save them even if they don't want to be saved. The faith of calvinism isn't really faith, it is God's 'gift' and the elect can do nothing else. The grace of calvinism isn't grace, because it arbitrary and forced. Calvin's God is looking down and saying, "I picked you and you are going to take My gift!" The free will of calvin isn't really free will at all, not in the way that Webster's would define it. Calvin's grace is just a facade, since God is really the one doing it all. The obedience of Calvin is like a puppet looking at the strings on his hands and saying, 'look at me, I'm dancing.' No, it really isn't like that, it's more like a puppet who speaks and dances, but Calvin's God is moving the mouth to say the words and moving the feet to dance.' Calvin's God moves the mouth to praise God for being so gracious. John, I don't agree with Calvinism :( |
