1 | Aren't the elect commanded to repent? | Hebrews | Morant61 | 45221 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! Good points my friend! I was just thinking of a sermon series the other day entitled 'Got Jesus?' which would deal with the same sort of issue - calling people to examine who the Biblical Jesus is and how their attitudes and relationships match up with the Biblical Jesus. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Shalom, Tim I have found out that there is a lot more meaning in the word PISTIS then there is in the word believe and I think that most that claim to be Christians don't fully know what is means to believe in Jesus. What I am saying is that there are those that believe they believe but they are not believers. I am sure you know what I mean but there are some that wouldn't have a clue. What I would like to see more of in our churches, at least in mine is a full breakdown of the Koine Greek and Hebrew words, so that people could get the full meaning of what God is conveying to us in his word. Just giving mental assent to the person of Jesus Christ that he existed isn't going to hack it and I really think that this is the idea that people in many churches have when the Bible say to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. A good example too that most believers don't know would be when the Bible speaks about the coming of the Lord. Most would think that the word coming, (PARSOUIA), is a verb, but is not, it's a noun and expresses an event that will involve an extended period of time just like Christ first coming. What do you think, CDBJ |

CDBJ: Excellent post, my friend. I agree with you completely when you say, " . . . most that claim to be Christians don't fully know what is means to believe in Jesus." I quote here the best, clearest, most concise and accurate answer I've ever heard to the question: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO *BELIEVE* IN JESUS CHRIST? (Note that what I am posting is NOT the entire Plan of Salvation. It is NOT Steps to Salvation or How to Be Saved. I hope no one feels the need to write and tell me that I left out part of the Plan of Salvation. The focus of this quote is limited to the question "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO *BELIEVE* IN JESUS CHRIST?") "To believe in Jesus Christ is to have a confident conviction that: 1) He is who the Bible says He is. 2) He will do what He promises. 3) Upon placing my trust in Him, I enter into a personal, eternal relationship with the Son of God." (Quoted from a sermon by Charles Stanley, In Touch Ministries) |

Did you ever hear what it means to believe by sitting in a wheel barrow??? You heard it right, but please save me the time if you have and I won't be mad. CDBJ |
