1561 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 26732 | ||
These people that believe that baptism is a part of salvation are still looking for a lost Gospel, that must state that the thief on the cross was plunged under a waterfall while still on the cross, because Jesus sure said that he would be with Him in paradise. There can't be any special situations with God. Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: CDBJ |

I thank you very much and I might add the God has blessed me, God is blessing me, and God will bless me and it's all because of Jesus. Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? I think that I can safely say that the intentions of all those that have commented on this thread have not done so to intentionally offend you. I will say though that it sure gets awful frustrating at times trying to help people see the light. I think I know, in a small degree some of the anguish that Paul was suffering. Romans 10:1-2 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. CDBJ |

I am sure glade the God's promises are guaranteed so that I don't have to rely on assumptions. I would like to wish you the best of luck with your assumptions but Scriptures says otherwise, so it would be ludicrous of me to do so. CDBJ 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. |

If that is the case, am I wrong in thinking that you pray to Mary and if you do, what confidence do you have, or faith or whatever it is that you want to call it, that she hears you and where in the Bible do you get this assurance? Any time that I pray to the Lord I have faith that He hears my prayer and I have faith in Him that He has the power to execute my petition, as He is the one seated on the throne of grace. If I pray to any other then the Lord I would be in direct disobedience to the command of His Word. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. I can have confidence that my prayers are heard because God has given me the record of such. 1 John 5:11-15 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I can personally say that this assurance did not come to me until I put all my undivided trust in Jesus. Oh yes I had hopes of heaven and eternal life but that wasn't the same as the assurance that I have now. The funny part was that I didn't know that people could have such a confidence on this side of the grave. One never misses something that they have never had! The part I like best is that it doesn't depend on me. God revealed to me that, I didn't do anything to get it and I can't do anything to loose it. Praise the Lord, it's all Him with out others assistance or help!! He's my daddy and I love Him!! Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. I lost my dad in Dec. of 1965 when I was 27 years old and it was just several Month's before that in Oct. that my heavenly Father revealed the truth of His Precious Son to me through Scripture and it came alive! I have never needed a go between for my earthly father and my heavenly Father loves me much more then my earthly father ever could. Any time I need to speak with Him He says that I can come personally right up to His throne when I need help. I can honestly tell you friend that I don't have religion at all but I sure have a great relationship with a living loving Lord. Anyone that hasn't found this relationship, and I am not saying that you haven't, sure is missing the greatest thing in life and it's even going to get better. I am in perfect health and couldn't feel better but I can honestly say, as did Paul. Philip. 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Don't get me wrong I'm not looking forward to dying but I am looking forward to death because I know what will follow in the next second!!

Am I to assume that from this response that you are in full agreement with the thinking that was presented in your post? If this were the case, I wish to apologize for the way that my thread came across, you certainly went to a lot of trouble to present it and I commend you for this. I believe some of the points that you presented with regard to Mary are true and factual without a shadow of doubt; but not knowing Roman Catholicism I must say that not a few of the comments are built upon text taken out of context for a pretext. It is common knowledge that members of the RCC place a lot of faith in those that have passed away, and of course Mary doesn't seem to lack in this respect, along with many others that have passed into the next realm. I am not at all familiar with all the different recipients of the prayers of Catholics and of those that they have faith in them. You certainly seem to know what you are talking about when it comes to Catholicism, so if you don't mind I would like to ask you a question. I know that there is no right or wrong answer to this question but I would like your estimation. Just using Mary as the prime example, what percentage of the totality of your personal faith, would you say, is in Mary, on a scale of one to a hundred? Now consider that everyone else that you have faith in must be in this equation also. Example God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and the many saints that have entered into glory. Again, there is no pat answer, I am just curious about your position because I have never conversed with anyone as knowledgeable as yourself about the Roman Catholic religion. This is not a trick question, because what ever you believe is fine with me I've got nothing to gain either way. CDBJ | ||||||

In essence that is what Christ said, Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. There is food for the body and food for the spirit. It is the assimilation of God's Word that causes us to grow spiritually. CDBJ |

I'll be honest with you I am not even much into singing anymore. I know singing conveys praise but it hurts my throat when it's more then one song. I sure like turning pages in the Bible though on the pastors lead when following a point of doctrin. Someone said that you can usually till if a church is heading in the right direction or is on the right track without even going inside; just see how many of it's members are carrying Bibles in with them! That is a pretty good indication that they Word of God is being taught. CDBJ | ||||||

Hank I liked your analogy, it shows you are thinking. It is my opinion that churches grow now days because believers are being feed. I quit going to a particular church years ago because they always had the same thing on the menu, salvation. I needed more meat in my diet once I was saved and starting to grow. I would look a fright, physically, if all I could get to eat were baby food. The problem now days, is that some of those big old denomination don't even offer baby food anymore, if you get my drift.

1574 | "Once Saved Always Saved" | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 25778 | ||
Hi Joe, we haven't crossed threads for a while. It is interesting to note how God the Holy Spirit works through the Word of God, in the Bible, to bring us to life in the spirit. I think that is why born again believers, as it were, get so down on the teachings of Catholicism. It seems that so much time is spent on ritual and not the exegesis of scripture, which can cause one's spirit to come to life. James talks about the Bible or the Word of God as though it is a type of sperm. The person receiving it can actually be impregnated by God's word. James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. The word engrafted is the Greek word EMPHUTOS and it carries the implication of germination. James brings this further to light in verse 18 with the word (begat). James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. The word begat is the indicative, aorist, active of APOKUEO. The indicative is the mood of reality, the aorist tense say it occurred in a point of time, when we believe God's Word and the active voice tells us that the subject produces the action. Praise the Lord what a process!! Peter backs this up as well. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Time spent in any church service, if it is not giving praise or reflection sure needs to be spent on the exegesis of God's Word. 2 Tim. 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. I was teaching a home Bible study one day and a couple of Catholic priest showed up; I think they must have been in their mid fifties or so and I was in my thirties. I did a lot of silent praying that the Lord would keep me on track as they made me more then a little nervous. There were about 35 people in all that attended the study. Someone said that one of them was a relative of a lady that often came. I set the ground rules before I started, that it was to be a Bible study and not a religious study and that everything would have to come from Scripture. Well everything went fine during the course of the study I even ask them several pertinent questions. I must admit that before the study was over I kind of felt sorry for them because they had a very limited knowledge of the Bible but then again I have found the same to be true of some liberal protestant ministers. The following verses in Matthew hit me like a ton of bricks after that study was over and I wish that I could have said more because those poor fellows had no assurance at all that they could have eternal life, and know it, on this side of the grave. Matthew 7:15-23 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 1 Cor. 2:1-7 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Does this make sense?

We will continue to make mistakes until the Lord takes us home. It happens to me a lot it seems that the only time I open my mouth is to change feet. I think we could all learn a lesson from Paul about mistakes that we have made. Philip. 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. |

Hi EdB, would like to expatiate on the statement of asking Jesus into ones heart and why I said what I did. There are many that think that being saved is something mechanical that we must do; when in fact according to God's protocol everything is done for us. The truth is most of those that ask Jesus to come into their hearts are saved before they ask him to come in. He doesn't come into ones heart as it were because they ask. He has already come into them because they have believed in Him and they know He will save them, other wise they wouldn't have ask Him to come in to them in the first place. They have faith in Jesus as the Son of God and what He did for them. Where the problem comes in is that believers try to convince someone that they are saved just because they ask Jesus into their heart and they might have done this without truly trusting in Christ. The person that we have to convince is saved, isn't saved, because the Father hasn't revealed to them who Jesus is. Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. When we tell a person to just ask Jesus into their heart, if they do it because we tell them to, all they did was jump through our psychological hoop; and if they did this without trusting in Christ they are as lost as they can get even after they do it! They don't bother seeking God with their whole heart any longer because the figure that they are saved because they did what was demanded of them. Before they know it, WOMO, this place is far too hot to be heaven. If you want to do unbelievers a real favor do as Paul did. 1 Cor. 2:1-2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Teach unbelievers all you can about Jesus and his death and let the Holy Spirit do His work. This was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn and there are still times when I try to Bible whip people into the kingdom. CDBJ P.S. About the apology, there is really none needed, I failed to make my point clear and besides all that, I am not sitting around in burlap and pouring ashes over my head yet; Sometime I get a little carried away. In love CDBJ |
