1 | Holy Spirit evidence of Salvation? | Acts 2:38 | Hank | 51545 | ||
Grace and Truth: Please show me [and perhaps my friends Joe and Tim, among others, might be interested in your response also] scriptural passages that clearly teach that any human being, in the Old Covenant or the New, was ever saved, is being saved, or will ever be saved by his good works. Is this a biblically correct statement: Without good works it is impossible to please God."? --Hank | ||||||
2 | Holy Spirit evidence of Salvation? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 51804 | ||
My dear friend Hank, It is Jesus who came to saved men from sin. It is Jesus who say He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. It is Jesus who is the mediator of the new covenant that tells men what to do to be saved. All you and your friends have to do is listen and obey the word of Jesus. You try to tell us that baptism is a work, and you include it in the words that the apostle Paul spoke to the churches, but there is not one scripture that support your view on baptism being a work. The Holy Spirit gave Paul the words to tell us, he would not over ride the words of Jesus, because Jesus is the one who sent him. When you read the words in Mark 16:16 it reads the same every time, It will not change for you or nobody else. You and your friends talk about contraditions, when you try to make baptism in water, a work of the flesh you make it like something sinful, but it is the very thing that Jesus tells men to do to be saved, and it can't be denied. If Jesus had not spoken these words there would be no issue. But Mark 16:16 is here to stay! Maybe you need to here the words of Mary in John 2:5 ..."Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it". Jesus said in John 3:5 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Notice the connection with water and of the Spirit, but of corse to you it doesn't mean water baptism, but if you read to the end of the chapter that's what was going on! You can dismiss what Jesus tells us to do, but I will never dismiss what Jesus says. |

Hello Grace and Truth The difference is how we define "work." In your response to Hank, you define it as "effort done in/from/of the flesh." I think I speak for Hank in saying we define "work" as any effort to accomplish a task whether it's of faith or flesh. Ours is the common dictionary usage. Steve |
