81 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | sniper | 80698 | ||
Radioman, You could not be more wrong. And by the way, reagarding your last sentence: James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. |

82 | Not by works or Partly by works? | Rom 6:3 | sniper | 80723 | ||
To All Forum Readers, The following are just a few plain verses...[edited] Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and 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. 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. Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, sniper |

84 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76418 | ||
Please support your statement, "Only the Spirit of God can give understanding of spiritual things." |

85 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76463 | ||
I believe that Paul is teaching here as he does in Colossians 3. Christians are to have a spiritual mindset - one that is set on things of the spirit. A man who filters everything through a worldly mindset will view spiritual things as foolishness. To understand and accept "the things of the Spirit of God" one must spiritually discern. | ||||||

Matthew 10:32,33. Good verses, thanks. I must admit that I am not understanding the first part of your post. Please explain further. |

Thanks. Also Matthew 10:32,33 | ||||||
88 | Is confession necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76467 | ||
Thanks for the clarification. We also have to confess our salvation before men. Matthew 10:32,33 Romans 10:9 |

89 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | sniper | 76518 | ||
Certainly worth a penny more. Thank you. Indeed it is a jump to use Ps. 111:10 and Pro. 9:10 as proof that "only the Spirit of God can give understsanding". True, fear of the Lord is spiritual discernment, and I cannot conclude that only the Spirit can give understanding of spiritual things. As you have stated, Paul teaches that creation is an evidence of God which should lead men towards him. That seems as though God expects spiritual discernment of everyone. |

Do we agree that, although not everyone may physically be confronted with the gospel, God has left enough evidence to be understood, at least enough to lead men to search after him? If we do agree, then do we agree that everyone must first "hear", then search after God? If we agree on that, then do we agree that after a person finds God they must be willing to confess their belief? |

92 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | sniper | 75586 | ||
Robert, You have quoted many scriptures with which I agree. God does want us to have eternal life and God wants us to be sure of our salvation. However, you have not dealt with the question. Can you walk away from your salvation? Can you lose it? Can you ignore Hebrews chapter 6? Remember, Hebrews was written to Christians. How about Hebrews 12:15-17 or 10:36-39. Read Galatians 4:7-9. These are just a few. God can save us, but your salvation is dependent upon wlaking in the light. As Romans 8 describes, we must walk in the spirit. You have a choice as a free will agent. You can set your mind on things of the spirit or on things of the flesh. You can taste the word of God and then fall away. |

93 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | sniper | 75598 | ||
God forgives Moments of weakness. You sin, you realize it, you repent, God forgives. You continue on walking in the light. However, what if you decided some fleshly desire had more appeal and a more immediate payoff than continuing to walk in the light. You have just made the same choice Esau made in Heb. 12:16,17. | ||||||
94 | If you are saved can you lose it | Heb 6:6 | sniper | 75609 | ||
If there is apparent contradiction between your beliefs and the Bible then youmust look to the Bible(word of God) for the answer. How did Hebrews 6:3-8 become hypothetical? I see no indication in the text that it is hypothetical. Rather the text indicates that the writer is referring to specific cases. Hebrews 10:38 says "But my RIGHTEOUS one shall live by faith; and if HE (referring back to the righteous one) shrinks back my soul has no pleasure in him. It does say that the ones who shrink back are those who were never saved. Why do you think that the writer of Hebrews admonishes the christians so many times that they must endure? They must not shrink back. They must perservere. The Bible teaches that you can turn away from God's gift. |

The blessing is not part of the Hebrew example, the birthright is. Esau could not get the birthright back. Jacob could have given up the birthright once he had received it, but he held it until he received the blessing. | ||||||

Consider Simon the Sorcerer for one. Acts 8:9-24 I would point out the many passages in Hebrews, but I have already done so to no avail. Perhaps, Demas, who loved this present world more than the work of the Lord. II Tim 4 |

They fall from grace. They tasted God's gift, and turned away. | ||||||
98 | Always Saved?? | Heb 6:6 | sniper | 78434 | ||
New Creature, Since you are using reason, I am surprised that John doesn't agree with you since he said in post 78423, "We are not expected to toss reason to the wind when we seek to know God." I would like to ask you a question. Do you believe that all are born with a sin nature? God bless. |

99 | Belief in God? | James 2:19 | sniper | 78796 | ||
Ngop, If a person knows that there is a God, then don't they believe that there is a God? On the one hand you say that it takes a revelation from God Himself to believe that there is a God, but on the other hand you say that one can know there is a God by looking around. Maybe I am misunderstanding your point. Do you also consider creation to be revelation from God Himself? If so, then it makes sense to me. As for Darwin's theory, I don't consider that evidence. It is a theory. What is the evidence that there is a God? Does it take faith to believe in Darwin's theory; does it take faith to believe that there is a God who created all? About the individual in the wilderness, I understand that they must hear the gospel from one who is preaching it. But, what leads them to believe that there is a God to search for on the first place? Does it take faith to believe that all the world around them points to a higher being? God bless. |

Disciplerami, You stated in one of your posts that men ought to know God. I cannot find that post so I am working from memory. The person with whom you were discussing the question at hand replied that 'ought to know' is not faith. My question arises partly from this exchange. If a person ought to know God, then by what evidence or revelation ought they know Him? And, if they know Him by these and are led to seek for Him, is that faith? Is the act of seeking for God considered faith. If there are two in a remote wilderness and one makes an idol while the other searches for a higher being, then does one know God while the other does not? If there are two in the USA and one is an atheist while the other searches for the truth, then does one know God while the other does not? The Bible teaches that men ought to know God. So back to the question; If men ought to know God, then is it faith which leads them to Him no matter their geographical, academic,or philosophical starting point? God bless. |
