Believers Baptism

You see, it comes down to exactly what baptism means. What does it achieve?
I believe it represents the church in the Covenant of Grace, the NT. Just as circumcision was in the OT.
I agree. The Presbyterian Church baptizes infants saying circumcision has been replaced.

Nice list...OK??????

Endures to the end is surrounded by "tribulation" talk.
Your list pretty much means nothing in that context.
 
@CrowCross If by some chance you're correct. If I see you on the way up, ill try to remember to wave.
 
I'm sure we are brother.

If we are still here when the tribulation heats up, don't say I didn't warn you. :giggle:
I think prior to the rapture things are gonna get pretty nasty. After the christians are removed and the intercessory prayers cease...things get real nasty.
 
Paul is teaching about Law and the gospel. You are not saved by your works. Read it again.

Where do you get this concept from? Surely not scripture.

From your Church maybe?

But you do because it is who you are, once you are in Christ.
Serious sin causes separation from Christ and grace
 
I have read some pretty good stuff concerning these things. The RC perspective, the Protestant perspective, and the mixture of both.

I especially like best that scripture interprets scripture. It' all in harmony with itself. And the Apocrypha just don't harmonize.
Why does the new quote from the seven books so much?

It is the apostolic authority that decided which books are the inspired word of God

The church received the word from Christ in person and preached the inspired word for 30 years before it was written
 
Whats hebrews got to do with yhe trib. Hebrews 3:4-6: Holding fast our confidence firm until the end.

Rev 2:13 faithful martyr
Had to remain faithful to death
 
So, you believe, that even though Jesus paid the full price of your penalty, you can still be charged for it and condemned? Do you believe once man becomes a Christian, now God expects you to live a perfect life?
We must abide in n christ and endure to death the end

Faithful to the end
 
It is the apostolic authority that decided which books are the inspired word of God

Hi Don..

Apostle. . . sent messenger, with no other meaning added (UPS, FED X, Pony express, Amazon, arrant boys and girls, Uber ).

Destroy the intended meaning of a single words it destroys the authority of the author

The lord set up a loving law to protect the integrity of his authority his living word.

.Deuteronomy 4:2 King James Version Ye shall not add unto the word (singular) which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it,(singular) that ye may keep the commandments (plural) of the Lord your God which I command you.

It is those who puff up dying mankind (apostles) above sola scriptura. those that have changed the clear meaning "sent messengers" into high venerable puffed up patron saints. . hers and his goods

Cannon assemblers. . dying making ?

How foolish would it be to think the Pope makes men different declaring a the legion of patrons saints worker with the legion of familiar spirits .

Born again believers as apostles have received eternal life. The puffed up ones would not say they received it freely with no cost on our behalf. The fullness of grace the full price of redemption and not just for Mary who some call the queen of heaven teaching she alone received the fulness. If all received it that was the case goodbye limbo purgatory

The Holy Spirit that moved men of old assembled the canon one word at a time .He is not served by the dying hands a will of puffed up mankind Playing Queen of the hill with other sects

1 Corinthians 4:6-7 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure(parable) transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men (Peter) above that which is written, (sola scriptura) that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who (Pope)maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

1 Corinthians 34 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. the living temple not made with humans hands as a will

We can preach, plant the born again seed of the living word and water it with the gospel.

But Almighty God alone is the one good teachings master our comforter bringing all things previously taught to or minds

John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Apostle "sent messengers" (UPS, FED X, Pony express, Amazon, arrant boys and girls ).

How beautiful are the feet of the apostles Abel .
 
Then all men are redeemed
What abut those in Limbo for younger sinners and Purgatory the more mature . . the doctrine of wondering ? How long?
 
We must abide in n christ and endure to death the end

Faithful to the end
And a genuine Christian will endure. God promised to finish what He started in us. Don't you have confidence in that?
