    Born of Water and Born of Spirit to enter heaven

    Webb, Is your translation of the Bible so different from my KJV. In my KJV Bible it says in Acts 2:38 that baptism is FOR the remission of sins and then comes the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is very clear. So are you saying that when one feels forgiven, that alone counts as baptism?

    mormonism

    Free, So where do you get the authority to be the one who gets to decide for the rest of the world which biblical interpretation of Jesus is the one and only true one? Mormons believe just as confidently as you do that their biblical interpretation of Jesus is the correct one. There are many...

    mormonism

    Actually, your first sentence here is quite accurate, even though it was meant in sarcasm. The term Christian is not something we received from God, but from those who were nonbelievers. It is a term that comes from men, not God, therefore it's definition must come from the institutions of...

    Reasons for God's word having free-will verses

    John, another question. The obvious observation that would come from a non-Christian about this is, the vast majority of mankind in the history of this world never had the opportunity to hear the good news of the gospel. How do they fit into this plan you have outlined? That would be my...

    Reasons for God's word having free-will verses

    An interesting observation, John. In your opinion, is it possible for a person, in a certain stage in their life, to not be responsive to the gospel message and therefore be "nonelect", and then in a different stage of life, after certain experiences, have a change of heart and become receptive...

    is there trinity or not?

    Oops! I originally thought it was Mike that started this thread. My bad. I should have said sanoma6's attempt...

    is there trinity or not?

    Amen to this statement. Mike's attempt to explain it here is so full of contradictions I wouldn't know where to begin. If you choose to believe in the trinity of the creeds, this statement has to be the only logical way.

    Who is Allah?

    I must admit, I do not read Arabic, but I learned from an Arabic scholar that there are several places in the Arabic translation of the Bible that Allah is used where the English version would read God. Are you saying that he didn't know what he was talking about? This is an interesting...

    Who is Allah?

    The title of this thread is "Who is Allah?". The first thing that came to my mind was the fact that Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. Why let the Muslims be the only ones who get to believe in Allah? "God" in the Arabic translation of the Bible is Allah. If I prayed to Allah, I would...

    Is baptism essential to salvation?

    I said nothing about Hell, but you assume Hell, probably because of a faulty understanding of Hell. It is interesting that when the obvious meaning of certain verses of scripture seem to contradict our current understanding of the gospel, that we call them unclear and obscure. We then try to...

    Is baptism essential to salvation?

    You are forgetting 1Peter 3:18-19.

    Is baptism essential to salvation?

    Try 1Peter 3:18-19.

    Who Goes to Heaven and Who Goes to Hell?

    This is a well thought out question. In my opinion, no one has posted a rational answer as yet. The New Testament is very clear that no one can be saved without complete acceptance of Jesus. It is also clear that the majority of God's children who have ever lived or live on this earth never...

    Glen Beck - A Mormon Espousing Christian Theology???

    Mike, This sounds enlightening and fun. You are more familiar with these forums than I, so I will go with your recommendation on which to use. I think the best approach for us to each gain greater understanding of the other would be to start with an exploration of what is common ground. This...

    Glen Beck - A Mormon Espousing Christian Theology???

    Mike, I can't speak for those Mormons you experienced many years ago. That is not a method I have ever heard taught in the church. I do, however, believe that the more we seek to understand another's point of view the more open that person will be to understanding mine. A strategy I would...

    The Bible

    And of course, the Bible NOWHERE says that it is the sole source of our faith or that everything we need to know is found within the Bible. That is a tradition of man. You are so awesome, francis. This statement is so obviously true, but most Christians refuse to see it. The belief that...

    Ye shall know the truth... absolute proof that the Bible is the word of God !

    francisdesales, Your honesty is refreshing. However, the Bible indicates that there is a way to be certain. The first step is to "prove all things, hold fast that which is good". As we continue to seek for truth and never assume we have it all, and then follow our conscience, which is the...

    Lists of Apostate Preachers

    Brilliant statement Alabaster. When you think about it, the only claim to authority any of them have is the Bible, which is exactly what those they are censoring have.

    Please Answers The follow Questions?

    I don't have time to answer all of these questions, but I will answer #5. My advice is to continue to obey your conscience, which is the Light of Christ(John 1:9). As you do the light will get brighter and you will be led to people or verses of scripture to give you further enlightenment...
