1 | Question for Rowdy.... | Acts 2:38 | Morant61 | 133617 | ||
Greetings Rowdy! How are we to make sense of the sum total of Scripture if we completely ignore the individual parts my friend? John 3:36 says that if we 'believe' we have eternal life. It doesn't say that we have to 'believe' and do anything else. To say that 'something' else is required is to make this verse a lie. God didn't 'hide' the instructions on salvation throughout Scripture so that they must be found and assembled before someone can understand them. What is the best way to make sense of all of Scripture? Let's start with the clear statements. We are saved by grace through faith. When we believe, we are saved. After that, there are many commands that we ought to obey, but these things do not save us. Any interpretation that completely ignores the clearest and simplest statements must be in error. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Question for Rowdy.... | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133652 | ||
In response, I can only quote the following verses as they sound pretty clear to me. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree but I'm willing to keep this as long as you wish. I'm just a vessel, a common pot in the hands of our Lord. Looking forward to your response and still praying for you. God bless. Rowdy |
