1 | Question for Rowdy.... | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133611 | ||
You keep on leaving out parts of the picture. With Abraham, remember He proved his faith to God when He told him offer his son as a sacrifice. Paul proved his devotion and commitment many times over, not the least of which included being baptized as cited Acts 9:18. James 2 deals with the works very thoroughly. Works are most certainly not to be considered part of the process but to be proofs of salvation after the fact. So baptism is not a work on our part; it's the Lord's working in us. Now that I've answered/responded to your points, how about taking a chop at answering/responding to my main point about believing or proving one's faith without any kind of proofs at all. Show a definite contrast between your belief and that of the devil's belief in God. I pray that God blesses you in your response. Rowdy |

Hello Rowdy, And you keep on leaving out the fact that Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness years before he was told to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Steve |

3 | Question for Rowdy.... | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133651 | ||
His offer of Isaac as a sacrifice was merely one of the most supreme examples of his devotion and faith. His first such example or act of obedience was his getting out of his home country, leaving all his kinfolk behind him, that is with the exception of Lot, his nephew. I think I can confiently say that every child of God in all dispensations (Patriarchial, Jewish and Christian) all showed their faith with their own acts of obedience as you and I must do. Maybe you can find an exception but I should think that will be difficult to do. God bless you, dear friend. Rowdy |
