1 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Hank | 90983 | ||
Ken, it's difficult for me to follow you in your theological expositions, but you seem to be making some sort of distinction between 'salvation' and 'entering the kingdom of God.' How do you suppose an unsaved person would enter the kingdom of God, or how would a saved person not enter? By the way, Jesus cured the woman of Mark 5 of her illness and the Greek word translated "made you well" (or whole) is the same NT word for saving from sin. This strongly suggests that the woman's faith also led to her spiritual salvation. I agree with you that the text does not specifically say that this woman subsequently followed Jesus. But I strongly disagree with you that it can be assumed that she received physical and spiritual healing and went on her way unchanged and uncommitted to follow Jesus as His disciple. The text does not invite us to assume any such thing. --Hank | ||||||
