121 | Was this man saved without Baptism | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100639 | ||
I believe as you do Searcher, but one baptsm IS necessary. I want you to know which one is. If I tell you you may might forget...:0) All the other "baptisms" are a result of this one. | ||||||
122 | Luke, Jesus, and the good theif | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100629 | ||
[Why did Jesus tell the good theif that He would see him in Heaven "that day" whe in the Apostle's Creed we say that Jesus "decended to the dead" for three days. Jesus was resurrcted on the third day and stayed for 50 more before ascending into Heaven. How do you reconcile those two staements?] Jesus didn't go the Heaven but to paradise and set the captives free. Paradise--The good side of hell where there is no terror or torment. A place where the righteous/blameless went when they died because they died in their [Adamic] sin since Jesus had not yet died on the cross that they could enter Heaven. |

[The Baptism Regenerational camp has another answer ... but the TRUTH is that this man was saved and wasn't baptized ... nor did he do any works. Searcher] I believe this also but what does it say about baptism? If one believes baptism [part of that which] saves them, which one is it? |

124 | Is accepting Christ as my saviour enough | Luke 23:40 | Ken hepting | 100627 | ||
Hi Firefly, Re: these comments [Another scripture is James 2:14-17 and on.... it talks about Faith without deeds... faith alone is not enough. There is a definite plan of salvation throughout the new testament. If your interested, start reading in Acts, it tells of what happened after Jesus death... it's the account of the first Church and tells what happened when Pentecost came and how baptism (to receive the Holy Spirit) came about (Acts 2:38)... I hope this was helpful...] I like your first paragragh but feel further explaining is needed for 2 and 3. In 2 who's faith are you speaking of that I need to function in that produce the works testifying of that faith? My faith took me to Him now what should happen? Do I need more of my faith? In 3 I'd like you to be more clear about reveiving the Holy Spirit. How do you reconcile Acts 2 with John 20:22 (NASB-U) "And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit...." I believe if you can see the difference here you will see the difference between "just saved" and "entering the kingdom" to begin to experience relationship with God". Check it out see what you think. Ken |

[I've heard of both men. I never liked Chambers' writing and Lewis' theology was flawed.] That speaks volumes. |

This needs to be addressed and refuted because it does injury. #1.[Because we have come out of the divine nature] [This is invalid. We are made in the image and likeness of God, but we do not have a part with the divine nature.] Very valid! Mc Donald didn't say that. What he did say is that we came OUT OF IT. Read it again for the first time then use honesty in your reply. #2.Jesus is the father of their sonship [No, Jesus is the vehicle of our sonship (John 1:12) not the father.] Vehicle, you say!? Where's that in scripture? Chapter and verse, please! He IS the author and finisher of our faith. [at least mine] The everlasting Father of it! Jesus is the pioneer of our becoming a son; Father of it! Right? #3. He was not the Son of God because he could not help it, but because he willed to be in himself the Son that he was in the divine idea. [No. He was always the Son, because that is His eternal position (Isaiah 9:6).] Not as a Man, but known only to God that He would accomplish the task that God could say YES if asked beforehand if Jesus was His Son!! Everything with God is in the present tense and God knew Jesus would succeed! But in actuality it was yet to be accomplished by Him! The Son of God in [Jesus] had to be fulfilled [and was fulfilled in the foreknowledge of God..that's why Father withheld nothing from Him..He trusted Him...He was full of Grace and truth because Father knew He would complete His mission. All the temptations and trials He went through as a man and protecting His sinless nature was by showing His allegiance to the Father! Power at this Point!![ Isaiah 28:6 (NASB-U) .....A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. We have temptations as well for the same reasons, i.e., showing our allegiance BUT/AND to overcome the enemy of our soul.. That's our responsibilty as "sons". We have His sinless LIFE plus The POWER of the Holy Spirit within us and upon us [those that are born again and have experienced Pentecost for themselves] to accomplish this; to Become as He was! #4. we must be the sons we are. [We are not sons until receiving Christ (John 1:12).] We are not son's at all at that point but children to be taught.. Learn the Bible before you teach it. John 1:12 (NASB-U) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, ...And ... For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ...A learning process to be sure.... For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world. [George McDonald has very bad theology.] Geo.McDonald was one of the mentors of Oswald Chambers and C.S.Lewis... Geo.McDonald knew God. |

Good post, Tim...Makes sense since freewill is still intact like at the beginning when we chose to come to Christ for salvation. Ken |

You might try applying that requirement of those you follow as Christ. Ever hear of Oswald Chambers? How about C.S.Lewis? Surely you've heard of him? Have they been influentual in leading people to deeper living in Christ? |

Pam didn't ask, I did..Thanks anyway. Some of what you stated I agree with, some is vague. But that's Ok, you did injury to no one and a good hungrying and thirsting will go a long way in sorting out what isn't clear. Ken |

[No, the SECOND ONE I mentioned was the first Great Awakening...I approve of genuine revivals, don't you? :)] Depends on what you mean by revival. If it worked the first time it shouldn't need to be revived and we should still be functioning correctly. Why revive something that didn't work...get me drift? If it died, Why? FWI, God doesn't send revival, He sends Himself. |

[As was mentioned earlier, how can someone engage you in conversation if you continue to make these nonsensical comments? Your statements and questions do not relate to John's posting.] Then just don't tell me, SHOW me with something specific I've mis-quoted or mis-understood instead of presenting me with your untoward accusations. of being nonsensical. I personally feel his explanation "STUNK" and your remarks also.. |

Try this, Pam "Choosing to Partake of the Divine Nature" Because we have come out of the divine nature, which chooses to be divine, we must choose to be divine, to be of God, to be one with God, loving and living as he loves and lives, and so be partakers of the divine nature. Otherwise we perish. Man cannot originate this life. It must be shown him, and he must choose it. God is the Father of Jesus and of us—of every possibility of our being. But while God is the Father of his children, Jesus is the father of their sonship, for in him is made the life which is sonship to the Father—the recognition, in fact and life, that the Father has his claim upon his sons and daughters. We are not and cannot become true sons and daughters without our will willing his will, our doing following his making. It was the will of Jesus to be the thing God willed and meant him, that made him the true Son of God. He was not the Son of God because he could not help it, but because he willed to be in himself the Son that he was in the divine idea. So with us: we must be the sons we are. We must be sons and daughters in our will. And we can be sons and daughters, saved into the bliss of our being, only by choosing God for the Father he is, and doing his will—yielding ourselves true sons and daughters to the absolute Father. Therein lays human bliss—only and essential. The working out of this our salvation must involve pain, and the handing of it down to them that are below must ever involve pain. But the eternal form of the will of God in and for us is intensity of bliss….George McDonald |

Am I on the right track? You pose more questions than you ask like "Who is we"?, "How does Jesus give us a new heart"?, At what point in time does that happen"? Is that Justification or Sanctification"? "Progressive or instantanious"? "Who's nature is enabling me to win my battles, His or mine? "Battles over what [assuming no wickedness cause sin is more than just wickedness"] So what is it, some "magical wand waving thing" we do? Lets see some Bible in your answer contextually applied and not pet doctrine. |
