1 | Are you a follower of Jesus or a church? | Matt 10:32 | BradK | 108653 | ||
john1423: We are saved by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). CDBJ is correct, and I see no error in his words. No offense intended, but you are advocating salvation by (very little) grace, plus works, then being kept by... works! I think I've summarized your belief correctly:-) Yours is a salvation that is both uncertain and hardly attainable except by self-effort. It is more like temporary life. You are most welcome to that, however I chose to believe in the God who "...is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them." (Heb. 7:25) Let me ask you this: Do YOU really belive you are saved that way??? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Jesus applied His precious grace and blood to me because of my obedience to His gospel(2nd Thessalonians 1:8;1st Peter 4:17). I died to my sins(1st Peter 2:24), was buried and raised with Christ(Romans 6:3,4;Colossians 2:12). Salvation is in the body of Christ(2nd Timothy 2:10).I have living faith(James 2:18-26). Christ is my holy ark(1st Peter 3:21) because Christ shut me in(Genesis 7:16;1st Corinthians 12:13;Galatians 3:26,27). You claim to get in another way(John 10:1). |

Erik, Your post unfortunately reeks of spiritual superiority:-) You simply assume too much without having any prior relationship, repoire with, or knowledge of what I or anyone else on this Forum believes! I'm afraid you're putting the cart before the horse in making a statement like "Jesus applied His precious grace and blood to me because of my obedience to His gospel" What of Romans 5:8 where Paul writes "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Though I don't particularly care, how is is that I "claim to get in another way?" Finally, with all due respect, I've seen far too many, such as yourself, waltz in on this Forum proclaiming your views of salvation, pet doctrines, etc. and expecting to be heard or taken with any measure of seriousness. While you are entitled to your views, might I ask what it is YOU hope to achieve? It's been wisely said that a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still. I'm still holding to mine. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

My hope and prayer for you Brad is that you will "be saved from this perverse generation"(Acts 2:40). Only by the grace of Lord is salvation even available(Acts 15:11). So I choose to obey the truth(1st Peter 1:22;John 14:6 and be a member of the church of Christ(Matthew 16:18;Acts 20:28;Romans 16:16; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23-28). I will not be deceived by imitation assemblies. |

5 | Are you a follower of Jesus or a church? | Matt 10:32 | Hank | 108781 | ||
To ease your mind, sir, and put your concerns to rest, it should be noted that BradK has shown every earmark in his numerous posts to this Forum of being a regenerated believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because Brad doesn't happen to be of the denomination called "The Church of Christ" in no wise means that he is not "saved from this perverse generation" as you intimate in your post. And by the way, what do you mean by "imitation assemblies" as you use the term in the closing sentence of your post, to wit, "I will not be deceived by imitation assemblies."? --Hank | ||||||

hi Hank Hank is my physically deceased stepfather's name by the way. I accidently sent a response to myself. Please if you would Hank just take a little time to read and meditate on the scriptures I posted in my note on January 9th. Jesus prophesied(Acts 3:22)that he would build His church. Jesus began building His church in Jerusalem(Luke 24:47)and continues to build it(1st Peter 2:4,5). I have tried to teach religious denominations the doctrine of Christ but they choose not to hear His words(1st Timothy 6:3). It is like Matthew 13:14,15. It is like when Christ said to His 12 apostles before they were filled with the Paraclete when He answered John's question by saying "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it"(John 13:26). I still to this day cannot understand why some of His disciples thought Judas left to do a good work and you know one of them said to "buy those things we need for the feast" because that statement is in quotations(Matthew 13:29). Judas left the feast to do evil (John 19:11) so unlike the 11 Judas did not receive the honor and privilege of hearing some of the greatest doctrine of Christ(John 13:31-17:26). The church of Christ is His church because He died for it(Acts 20:28). To say the church of Christ is a denomination is not based on biblical truth(Matthew 16:18;John 17:20-23;Romans 16:16;1st Corinthians 1:10;Ephesians 5:26,27). Jesus promised that the church of Christ only shall rise up(Matthew 16:18 and Romans 6:3-5). But there are also many imitation assemblies and some that even claim to be the "church of Christ"(Matthew 13:27-30;1st Timothy 4:1;2nd Peter 2:1;2nd Timothy 4:3). Speaking the truth in Love(Epehsians 4:15; 1st John 4:8; 1st Corinthians 12:13). |
