You have accused me of evil doing without a cause and I have ask God to forgive me for offending you. I ask that you forgive me as well but I pray that you will study more on this subject. I did not mean to come across to you in a harsh way. Our unity is very important to me and crucial to the fallen world. One of my closest friends and brother-in-Christ have and still disagree on this subject. And will always love him. Our fellowship is not worth losing at any cost. Forgive me Jayell |

Thank you! I'm not here to battle, but to discuss doctrine. If anyone doesn't understand God's sovereignty I am here to help. If it's grievous to want to know the truth, then I am truly sorry. Truth in Love Jayell |

Once again you should not add anything into scripture, 1 Peter 3:18 does not say "once for all" it says "once for sin." I guess in order to make your case you needed the ALL. You must understand that if Jesus had died for the sins of everyone then that would guarantee everyone heaven, there would be no need for hell since the wages of sin had been paid (Romans 6:23). If Christ died for the sins of Joe (who is in hell) then that would make God a liar if Joe still had to die for his own sins. The K.J.V. and N.K.J.V. both translate 2 Peter 3:9 to say "Longsuffering toward us" and the US or You is referring to saved . "Not willing that any should parish" the "any" must refer to those whom the Lord has chosen and will call to complete the redeemed. i.e., the "us." Since the whole passage is about God's destroying the wicked, His patience is not so He can save all of them, but so that He can receive all His own. He can't be waiting for everyone to be saved, since the emphasis is that He will destroy the world and the ungodly. Those who do perish and go to hell, go because they are depraved and worthy only of hell and have rejected the only remedy. Jesus Christ, not because they were created for hell and predetermined to go there. The path to damnation is the path of a non-repentant heart, it is the path of one who rejects the person and provision of Jesus Christ and holds on to sin (cf. Is.55:1; Jer.13:17; Ezek.18:32; Matt.11:28; 13:37; Luke 13:3; John 3:16; 8:21,24; 1 Tim.2:3,4; Rev.22:17). "all should come to repentance." "All" (cf. "us," "any") must refer to all who are God's people who will come to Christ to make up the full number of the people of God. The reason for the delay in Christ's coming and the attendant judgments is not because He is slow to keep His promise, or because He wants to judge more of the wicked, or because He is important in the face of wickedness. He delays His coming because He is patient and desires the time for His people to repent. | ||||||

It is good that you changed from "for everyone" to "available to everyone." That is the correct wording. The scripture you gave does say "IF" The truth is Christ did not die for everyone, if He did everyone would go to heaven. | ||||||

6 | Acts 2:2 | 1 Cor 14:6 | Jayell | 172394 | ||
There was much division at Corinth, some followed Paul or Apollos or Peter and some Jesus (1 Cor 1:12). And there stands the the focus of Paul, there was division concerning leaders, marriage (Ch.7),eating foods (Ch.8), the Lord's supper (Ch. 10,11) and even as today, spiritual gifts. Just as the Corinthians we are still ignorant of Paul's purpose. "There are diversities, operations, differences of administrations." (12:4,5,6) But Paul ends each by saying, "The same Spirit, the same Lord and same God which worketh all in all. Why would Paul tell them not to be ignorant concerning spiritual gifts? (12:1) The reason for so much attention on tongues is due to their previous lifestyle (12:2). which involved supposed supernatural interaction with a diety, induced through hypnotic chants. Apperantly some church members were repeating this during service. Paul makes that clear from (14:6-11), Satan has always been a master counterfeitor, being an angel tongues came easy to him (13:1). But Paul knew of something that Satan or his angels couldn't touch: THRUTH AND LOVE. Since the the thruth is not in him (John 8:44)cf. 1 Cor 12:3. And Love because he who loves follows Christ (8:3,13:13) Paul didn't focus an any gift in particular, his letter is about Love and Unity. If we let the Love of God rule in our hearts; then and only then will we be in ONE mind and ONE accord (Eph 3:17-21). When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: BUT when I became a man, I put away childish things (1 Cor 13:11). Let us all listen to Paul and follow after Love and have a desire for gifts and remember: THAT GOD GIVES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL! (1 COR 12:11) |

In no way am I throwing out baptism, it's very important in our Christian lives. You should of scrolled up and read some of my responses before you jump to conclusions. Let,s take the whole bible, not just a few scriptures. Read Acts 3:19; were is baptism? "What must I do to be saved?" And they (Paul and Silas) said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16:29-34). And then they were baptized; believe it or not baptism is for believers (Christians). Although they are closely related, salvation comes first. It,s foolish to even think this to be a part of salvation. O.K. let,s take a different approach; if a Christian never took communion would he be in trouble? Christ did say "Do this in rememberance of me" Luke 22:19. The truth is communion, baptism are things that we do out of obedience. Nothing to do with salvation, that is by faith through grace alone. Lion, think about the process of baptism for a moment.......you are the one doing the WORK. "And it's not of yourself: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). | ||||||

You are in desperate need for teaching of scripture. The phrase "baptized into Christ Jesus...baptized into His death" has nothing to do with water baptism. Paul is using the expression baptizo in the same way he employed it in 1 Cor 10:2, where he spoke of the Israelites as having been "baptized into Moses." Baptized into in that sense means "identified with," "linked to." Paul says, "All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed youself with Christ"(Gal 3:27) He's speaking of union with Christ: "The who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him" (1 Cor 6:17). Coty; in order to apply the bible to your life, you must FIRST correctly interpret the scriptures of that bible. | ||||||

Before Christ became my Lord, I remember watching pastors on T.V. and thinking....what a joke! The church was the last place that I wanted to be. The Bible has a way of showing us ourselves. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.(Rom 3:11) Sure we have freedom of choice, but when it came to us choosing to seek God; WERE WAS IT THEN? You must take in account God's sovereignty and providence. Remember that GOD IS ON THE THRONE. Since you claim to be saved, ask yourself this question; Would I (freely) choose to leave Jesus Christ and return to a world destined for hell? If your answer is no then you truly have the mind of Christ.(1 Cor 2:16) But if you had to ponder over that question then you have to examine youself. Jesus says, "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never parish."(John 10:28) You get that NEVER parish, there's nothing about our free-will; He said "I GiVE" If God left it up to us and our FREEDOM OF CHOICE then heaven would be completely empty.(1 Cor 15:50) Being born-again means a new desire to follow a new Will, GODS WILL. If God has a limit with His children then where is it? One, Five, Thirteen sins? You'r not sure right! Well I am. "For this is the covenant that I wil make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the 'Lord; I will put my laws into thier mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to my a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighboour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greastest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and thier iniquities will I remember no more.'" (Heb. 8:10-12) | ||||||

There is a serious need of interpretation of scripture in the church. Acts 18:24-25;19:1-5 is not about baptism at all, it's actually about faith. Apollos was mighty in scripture, instructed in the way of the Lord and yet when Aquila and Priscilla heard him teach they took him aside.(v.26) Why? Because he only knew the baptism of John, that is to say he didn't fully understand Christian faith (Christ's death,burial and resurrection). And they expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly (v.26) Now then; the disciples of chapter 19 are those of John the baptist but continued under the teaching of Apollos (both being in Ephesus; compare Acts 18:24 and 19:1). These were the same men whose jealously led them to questioned John of Jesus's authority to baptize (John 3:25,26). Some of them thought John to be the Christ (John 3:28). When Paul asked them "Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed?" he wasn't interested in their spirituality. He was simply locating their faith. To sum it up Paul led them to a faith in Jesus; telling them not to believe in John but to "BELEIVE ON HIM THAT SHOULD COME AFTER HIM,THAT IS, ON CHRIST JESUS" (v.4)cf. Luke 3:15,16. In Acts 16:30 the questioned was asked "what must I do to be saved?" and Paul and Silas simply answered "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (v.31). That is the only condition! For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel (1 Cor 1:17a). For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (Rom 1:16). Paul knew perfectly the word FAITH that he preached (Rom 10:8,9) he knew that was made unto salvation. Baptism is an outward show of an inward experience.(Rom 6;3,4). We must be very careful not to seek justification by a sign.(1 Cor 1 :21,22) THE TRUTH IN LOVE. |

Paul is not talking of water baptism, starting in (1 Cor 12) he's speaking of spiritual gifts. The body he's refering to is a spiritual body, nothing physical. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized" not by water but by The Holy Spirit! John the Baptist spoke of this spiritual union by Christ, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the HOLY GHOST, and with fire" (Matt 3:11). Paul also said, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). The water baptism is a work we do ourselves but Jesus is the one who saves us/baptizes us into His body. Truth in love |

Why did Christ feel the need to be baptized? He had no sin, no need to be saved. Why? To fulfil all righteousness. (Matt 3;15) Jesus life and ministry is our blueprint as Christians. By baptism, Jesus was merely identifying Himself with us. It was an act or righteousness on the part of him who had become, as to the flesh, an Isrealite, to take His place with the believing remnant. By baptism we are identified with Christ, it's our way of pledging allegiance to Him. In Ephesus Paul encountered twelve disciples (Acts 19:1-7) and we know that they were John's (baptist) disciples from only 1 question. "Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said Unto John's baptism." (v.3) John baptized his discples and Jesus His. see John 4:1 It has always been a means of association; NEVER SALVATION. Jesus makes it perfectly clear that we will be condemned for unbelief not baptism. (Mark 16:16b) | ||||||

SAVED BY FAITH The thief on the cross is a perfect example of salvation through Christ alone. He didn't enter heaven under any different condition than what is required today. He was a helpless sinner, unable to save himself (Prov 14:12) so he looked toward Christ alone to save him. I hope we all agree that this the only way to come to God. The two thieves (Luke 23:39-45) represent the two gates in Matt 7:13,14 (HEAVEN and HELL). One thief blasphemed Jesus saying, "If You are the Christ ( he doubted Jesus as Lord,cf 1 John 4:3) save yourself and us" (trying to save his sinful life,cf Luke 9:34;1 Cor 15:50). The other thief rebuked him and said,"Our deed deserve death, but this man has done nothing wrong" (Luke 23:41;cf. Rom 6:23). Taken with Matt 27:44;Mark 15:32 where both thieves are mocking Jesus this clearly shows that one had a change of mind. That's called REPENTANCE. cf. Luke 15:7; Acts 3:19. The repentant thief then turns to Jesus and said, "LORD (confessing that Jesus is Lord,cf. Rom 10:9,10; 1 Cor 11;14)remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom" (Luke 23:42). This statement shows his FAITH that Christ would be raised and he no desire for this world or his life. He chose repentance into the Kingdom (Matt 3:2) death to be raised with Christ (Gal 2:20) When we start to add to salvation things like baptism what we really are saying is, Jesus Christ is not sufficient. That was the very reason Jesus cried out on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED" (John 19:30). We can't add to perfection (Hebrews 10:14;12:2). Baptism is very important in our walk with God, it actually brings us closer to Him. (But it is a work). Salvation is by grace through faith, is a free gift, and wholly without works (Rom.2:27,28; 4:1-8; 6:23; Eph.2:8). The divine order is: first salvation, then works (Eph.2:9,10; Tit.3:5-8). |

You can't do the will of the Father unless you first have faith in His Son(Jesus). Many will say"Lord,Lord," but few will call on the NAME of the Lord(JESUS). One can not truly call until called upon(John 6:65) Man can be fooled by words,but God knows they come from(Rom 10:10,Mark 7:6). It's faith ALONE. TRUTH IN LOVE. |

Yes,Jesus was telling them to teach of Him. But He also told them to WAIT for the promise(ACTS 1:4,5). The reason that they were to tarry is found in JOHN 16:12-15) Jesus said (in your gospel) I have yet many things to say to you,but you can not bear them now. You see the Holy Spirit had to come inorder to reveal truth and that's what Peter preached to Isreal(ACTS 2:16-18) before preaching Christ. However gifted moral, or refined, the natural man is absolutely blind to spiritual truth (2 Cor. 3:14, Eph. 4:18). The Peter of the gospels rejected Jesus(MATT 26:69-75)THE SPIRIT FILLED PETER OF ACTS STOOD UP TO ISREAL,LIFTED UP HIS VOICE and PROCLAIMED JESUS AS LORD. That's why you must take the old with the new. Jesus is the gospel,but the Holy Spirit is the author of scripture. My faith lies in Jesus alone and He once told Satan;"Man shall not live by bread alone,but EVERY word of God" The gospel has given me salvation(ROM 1:16)and the epistles is what gives me direction(ROM 6:4,COL 1:10,1 THESS 2:12). I have truly prayed for you and I believe God at His Word(MATT 5:6) With Love | ||||||

What is your definition of accurate and reliable? Let"s start with the gospel. Jesus commissioned the church to,"Go ye therefore and TEACH all nations"(MATT 28:19)if you don't believe the N.T. to be the W.O.G. then what are you teaching? The apostles were taught by Chist and went on to write letters inspired by the Holy Spirit(JOHN 14:26). Paul says he was taught by Christ,when anyone (by the Holy Spirit) prays and studies WHOLE bible there's no question. The apostles teachings(it's called DOCTRINE)ACTS 2:42 and they continued in it. If you think the epistles to be nothing more than reliable then you have no guidance(2 TIM 3:10) READY TO BE TOSSED TO AND FRO(EPH 4:14) The reason I KNOW the N.T. is God's word is; I KNOW HIS VOICE! (JOHN 10:27) | ||||||

How can you believe on Jesus and not His word? That's like a person who's paralized purchasing a car. They will NEVER be able experience the thrill of shifting gears,pressing on the gas and clutching the steering wheel around a tight curve. They can only look from a distance,that's it. When Christ saves us He also gives us a hunger for the truth.(John 16:13). 2 Tim 3:16 says "ALL SCRIPTURES" You can not take parts of the bible(gospel)and disreguard the rest of the N.T. GOD has a strict "warning" for you. READ Revelation 22:19 The Truth in love |
