Yes, repentance along with confession (Mt 10:32-33; Rom 10:9-10) but not until one is water baptized is he saved and added to the church.

The few Jews that obeyed Christ, as Paul, were saved while the rest were lost (Rom 10:1-2). Those Jews that became Christians (spiritual Jews - Rom 2:28-29) are the people God foreknew. Even though Paul was a fleshly Jew he was not among those cut off for he obeyed (Acts 22:16) becoming part...

When did the Church begin? The church began at Pentecost, Acts 2. Peter, as the other Apostles, was given the keys to the kingdom (church) (Mt 16:18-19). Peter used these keys to "unlock" the door of the kingdom telling people how to enter the kingdom (Acts 2:38) to the Jews first in Acts 2...

If OSAS were true, then those Jews would have never become lost. The ones God reserved were the ones who OBEYED Him by not bowing to Baal. Those who obey Christ's word become saved (Heb 5:9) and will remain saved as long as they conditionally continue to obey Christ's word (Jn 8:31). Those...

In the context of Mk 16:9-13 the Apostles did not believe about the resurrection when they were told Christ was seen alive. It does NOT say the Apostles never believed at all while following Christ.

Post #113 shows that 1 Cor 13 and Eph 4 that those signs were for the purpose of bringing about the completed NT, they would last TILL (a time limiting word) there is a UNITY?ONENESS of 'the faith' with 'the faith' referring to the one system of faoth as taught in the one body of information...

Was the "tongue" being spoken a known earthly language that was being translated into a lnaguage the hearer could understand? Again, speaking in an undecipherable steam of syllables is not speaking in tongues nor miraculous. What takes place in the above video at about the 5:50 mark is NOT...

The "in part" of 1 Cor 13:10 does refer to the piece by piece revelation of the NT done by signs and when the "in part" is made "complete" then the in part (the signs used to bring about the completed NT) would cease. Same point is made in Eph 4. It is not difficult to understand at all.

The evidence is overwhelming that Mk 16:9-20 are inspired, genuine: http://apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=13&article=704 ========= I would also suggest doing internet searches to read what you can find from John Burgon in how the Sinaiticus was found in the garbage...

I believe the Bible, not what posters on a forum tell me to believe. No one can speak in tongues as it was in the first century church. The indecipherable stream of syllables is not speaking in tongues nor miraculous.

But again there is nothing miraculous taking place in Rom 8:26.

1 Cor 13:10 "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." --the word perfect in this context means to make whole or complete, it is not about sinless perfection. --what was "in part" at the time Paul wrote this verse would eventually be "complete"...

The fact fleshly Israel was cut off proves OSAS wrong. There have been those that tried to use Eph 1:13 to "prove" OSAS but the fact the church at Ephesus a few years later left Christ and were fallen (Rev 2:1-5) also proves OSAS wrong.

I am to defend the gospel whether it is over a matter of milk or meat, Phil 1:17.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they...

A saving faith includes repentance and confession else it is a dead worthless faith making faith inseparable from repentance and confession. You said yourself they are are inseparable. So I am at a complete loss from those that claim "belief only" saves, that is, a belief SEPARATED from...

2 Pet 1:8-9 "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins."

Heb 4:1 "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." Heb 4:11 "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." I see Paul is writing to Christians and...

The impossible to repent is not a necessary position for one to be in. Those that have fallen (Heb 6:6) into a state where they continue to "crucify" and "put" to shame (present tense verbs) Christ do find themselves in a position where it will be impossible to repent. Christ being 'the...

But he is not and cannot be saved until he repents, you admitted such yourself when you answered "no' to my question.
