Go to http://calvarychapel.com/library/smith-chuck/books/caatwog.htm#03 CALVINISM, ARMINIANISM and THE WORD OF GOD A CALVARY CHAPEL PERSPECTIVE by Chuck Smith In the table of contents click on item 3. Calvary Chapel's Perspective Go to point 5.PERSEVERANCE This is a quote that sums it up pretty well, but read all to get a better understanding. "Maintaining a Bible centered balance in these difficult issues is of great importance. We do believe in the perseverance of the saints (true believers), but are deeply concerned about sinful lifestyles and rebellious hearts among those who call themselves "Christians." We don't have all the answers to these matters, but we desire to be faithful to the Lord and His word." God bless you in your search! |

42 | What do you think? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 12208 | ||
Hi Tim, Let me give you an issue 3, if I may. We had a situation in my fellowship where a young man started a home bible study on a Tuesday night. We have mens prayer on the same night. He had been a part of our men’s prayer group before he started the bible study. He started this bible study on his on without the pastors blessing. I feel, as the pastor did also, that this young man is an anointed teacher/preacher. The pastor didn’t say anything to this young man so maybe it was OK with him. I never brought it up, but I always felt it would have been better if he had done this under the pastor’s authority since there was the mens prayer conflict. What do you think? Thanks, retxar |

43 | salvation/baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 13633 | ||
I love these easy questions! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God's Word says it is CLEAR enough for even a child to understand! Baptism requires salvation (Acts 8:37,) but salvation does not require baptism (Rom 10:9.) Jesus is Lord! |

45 | How tabernacle shows journey man to God? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 14039 | ||
Let me share a few scattered thoughts I remember from a teaching I once did on the wilderness tabernacle. The tabernacle served as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (Heb 8:5). It was actually a “blueprint of our salvation” thru Jesus Christ. The purpose of the tabernacle was so God could dwell among His people (Exo 25:8). John 1:14 says “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” The tabernacle was made up of 3 parts: the outer court, the Holy place, and The Holy of Holies. This is symbolic of the 3 stages of Christianity. Redemption in OC (Eph 1:7), sanctification in HP (Heb_10:14), Glorification in the HoH (Heb_10:35-37). The wall of the outer court was symbolic of how man is separated from God thru sin (Isa 59:2). Jesus has brought the wall down and given us access to God (Eph_2:14-18). There was only 1 gate into OC, only 1 door into HP, and only I way into HoH. There is only 1 way to salvation; only thru Jesus ( Joh_10:9, Joh_14:6). The brazen alter was a symbol of the cross. The sacrificial lamb is Jesus. The brazen laver was for ceremonial washings of priest before he could minister. This was symbolic of believers baptism. The veil was a divider between HP and the HoH. The veil was the body of Christ (Heb_10:19-20). The veil of the temple was torn in two when Jesus died (Mar_15:37-38). This gave us access to God’s throne. The HoH was symbolic of God’s throne in heaven (Heb_9:24). Heb_4:16 says we can now come boldly to God’s throne. That is only possible by Jesus. The sacrifices offered by the priest were a reminder of sin (Heb_10:3). Jesus offered one sacrifice for sins forever (Heb_10:11-12). Notice the priest stands ministering daily, because his work was never done. Jesus sat down, because His work was complete! Jesus lives!!! |

I think what peaches Muslim "friends" are trying to push, is the GOSPEL of Barnabas, rather than the EPISTLE of Barnabas. The Gospel of Barnabas is a Muslim forgery from the Middle ages, rather than the early Christian writing of the Epistle of Barnabas. The Gospel of Barnabas denies the Deity of Jesus and has verses of Jesus prophesying the coming of Mohamad. It also has Abraham offering Ishmael on the alter instead of Isaac. The Epistle of Barnabas contains 21 chapters while the GOB has several hundred. God Bless, retxar |

Try http://answering-islam.org.uk/Barnabas/ There are several links there. One artical with a lot of good info is "An overview of the Gospel of Barnabas by Norman L. Geisler and Abdul Saleeb". All this is new to me also, as I only researched after being prompted by peaches question. God Bless. retxar |

49 | How be born of water and of the Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15429 | ||
1. Before “In the beginning”. Why? Pride (Isa 14:12-15) 2. Your are referring to John 3:5. The meaning? Just read John 3:6! Salvation only comes to those born of the flesh and reborn of the Spirit. This rules out salvation of fallen angels and salvation by works. 3. Romans 7:15-25. We are spirit man and flesh man. We choose which man we want to feed! 4. The Old Testament sacrifice system served as only a shadow of Jesus (Heb 10:1). It was only an image of the real thing (Heb 8:5, 10:1). Example: a 20 dollar bill is only worth 20 dollars because of the gold it represents. If the government decided to give us the gold, the paper would then have no value. The OT “paper” was only temporary until God gave us the “Gold” ! The sacrifices served as a reminder of sin year after year (Heb 10:3). It was not possible that the sacrifices could take away sin (Heb 10:4), but only provide a covering until Jesus came. Jesus took sin away and took the punishment for sin that God required (1 John 2:2). The priest offered the same sacrifices over and over, always standing, never sitting (Heb 10:11), but Jesus offered one sacrifice and then sat down (Heb 10:12), because His work was finished! Jesus Saves!! |

50 | How inspired is the NAS Bible today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15436 | ||
View #2 is the only one that can be considered. Neither the NASB or any other translations is inspired in the same way as God inspired the holy men who originally wrote His Word as the Holy Spirit gave it to them (2Pe 1:20-21, 2Ti 3:16). To put any translation equal to what God wrote is an insult to God. Translators can be inspired, just as God inspires us all to do a work for Him, but not to the precise perfection as He inspired His Word. 2Pe 1:20 says no prophecy of Scripture is of ANY private interpretation. How can any translation from any language to another be possible without some interpretation going on? However, let me say this. No one studying the bible under the direction of the Holy Spirit will ever be lead astray by not knowing Greek or Hebrew. The NWT of the JW is a RESULT of their false doctrine, not the cause. No, doctrinal beliefs of any Christian religion is based on any particular translation, even KJV onlyism. KJO is a fear issue, not a translation issue. Let me end on this note: God has certainly supernaturally preserved His Word thru the ages. That has only been possible by God’s hand. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

51 | How inspired is the NAS Bible today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15488 | ||
I agree with you 100 percent that God has preserved His Word for all people of all cultures. I think where we differ is our definition of inspired. I think what you are defining as inspiration, I call providence and preservation. To me, God only inspired one Bible, but thru His providence, He has preserved and continued His Word, not continually re-inspired it. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

52 | How inspired is the NAS Bible today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15500 | ||
Well, my view of God's "providence" may be exactly as your view of God's "inspiration". My view of God’s providence would mean God’s Divine guidance in preserving His Word. That would not and could not mean every translation was a perfect and precise inspiration, whereby the Holy Spirit exerted Divine, out of their control, direction on the ears, minds, hearts, and hands of each and every translator, as God did on the holy men that He originally inspired His Word thru. Rather, it means His Word is preserved in such a way that each an every translation is subject to examination and comparison to the original, and we can be confident we know what the original is and we can be confident we are trusting in the work of God and not man. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

53 | fallen angels called Nephlims and unicor | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15907 | ||
I don't know about the fallen angel called Nepphlin but "wild ox" is translated "unicorn " in the KJV at Num 23:22. Num 24:8, Deu 33:17, Job 39:9, Job 39:10, Psa 22:21, Psa 29:6, Psa 92:10, and Isa 34:7. | ||||||

This is referring to being baptized into the body of Christ when one accepts Jesus (1Co 12:13). It is not reffering to water baptism at all. | ||||||

57 | Do you understand Islam vs. Christianity | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 16367 | ||
Sometimes I hear the word Islamic and sometimes I hear the word Moslem. I am going to sound real stupid here, but are they the same thing? I have assumed they were. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

58 | Do you understand Islam vs. Christianity | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 16373 | ||
Thanks EdB. So Moslem would be as we would say Christian and Islamic would be as we would say Baptist, Methodist, etc., right? OK here's another question from the un-informed (that sounds much better than stupid!). You said, "Incidently Islamic followers by definition belong to the "Nation of Islam" therefore much of their loyalites are reside there." What exatly does this mean? Are certain middle east countries considered to be part of the "Nation of Islam" or is this just something Moslems say as we may say "Kingdom of God"? thanks, retxar |

The scripture references you gave is strong evidence that water baptism is NOT required for salvation, NOT support that water baptism is a requirement. Eph 4:5 declares one baptism as you have quoted. However, Heb 6:2 says the doctrine of BAPTISMS not baptism, right? Look at Mat3:11b, Mat20:22-23, Mar1:8b, Mar10:38-39, Luk3:16b, Luk12:50, Acts1:5b, and Acts11:16b. Can we agree that none of these references mean water baptism? So, can we agree that the Word declares more than 1 baptism, as far as number goes? So, what does "one baptism" mean in Eph 4:5? Since the Word declares more than one baptism, as far as number, the "one" here must mean the one baptism that brings salvation. Not the baptism into the body of Christ PLUS water baptism, but baptism into the body of Christ ALONE (1Cor12:13). You listed Acts 8:36-38. This is one of the strongest passages I know that shows that salvation and water baptism are 2 different acts, and that salvation is required for water baptism, but water baptism is not required for salvation. In verse 36 the eunuch asks, "What hinders me from being baptized?" Philip answer what would have prevented him from being baptized in verse 37. Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." The eunuch responds with, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." This lines up with Rom10:9. Verse 38, Philip baptizes him. Water baptism here could not be the "one baptism" unto salvation, because according to verse 37, salvation had already occurred. Jesus Saves! retxar |

You asked "if baptism isn’t water baptism (which I obviously lean towards) then what is it and where are the scriptures to show it?" Did you not read my post to you a few days ago that I gave to you to show that each time "baptism" is spoken of in Scripture that it is not always speaking of water baptism? I gave you 10 verses or so that speak of batism that can not be referring to water baptism. Is there ANY verses I gave that you think are referring to water baptism? I don't like reposting but I will repost the part I am referring to bacause I don't really think you saw it, as you are still asking for Scripture that speak of any baptism other than water. Repost: Eph 4:5 declares one baptism as you have quoted. However, Heb 6:2 says the doctrine of BAPTISMS not baptism, right? Look at Mat3:11b, Mat20:22-23, Mar1:8b, Mar10:38-39, Luk3:16b, Luk12:50, Acts1:5b, and Acts11:16b. Can we agree that none of these references mean water baptism? So, can we agree that the Word declares more than 1 baptism, as far as number goes? So, what does "one baptism" mean in Eph 4:5? Since the Word declares more than one baptism, as far as number, the "one" here must mean the one baptism that brings salvation. Not the baptism into the body of Christ PLUS water baptism, but baptism into the body of Christ ALONE (1Cor12:13). Jesus Saves! retxar |
