Bible Question:
Question: how long is 'temporary?' I guess Acts 2:38 is off limits to the main page? Do I begin to see the pattern? We have an honest disagreement so why limit exposure to it? Why can't others join the discussion? "Note to viewers: This thread has been temporarily restricted from appearing on the homepage.

Bible Answer: Baptism is for the remission of sins, as is repentance. Baptism is not contrary to the plan of God. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith works. If you believe, then you will speak and obey. James says salvation comes when you work and Paul says you are justified by your faith. Faith and works united is Biblical. It is not faith only, it is not by works only, it is through the 'obedience of faith', such as is demonstrated in Hebrews 11. Good day, Disciplerami |
