You've already been judged, and found guilty, as have we all. Only faith in Christ brings salvation. Your trust in your own works are in vain. I'll continue to pray for your salvation...
Romans 3: 21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished 26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
ROTFLOL
FWIW:
1Thes. 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
IOW, for those with such a fierce loyalty to a particular church all you can do is preach The Gospel and pray that the Holy Spirit moves them. We won't be around when the Day of the Lord occurs.
Amen, wmfights. The time is drawing near.
Oh, I think there are plenty of names and prosecutions. Google it if you’re interested. LOL.
Fine. Nuff said.
I’ve been a Christian for forty years, Mark. My faith is as deep as yours. I’m not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am filled with His Holy Spirit and I have the assurance of eternal life when I die and go to heaven.
I am not mocking anyone. The text of the Bible tells me how to evaluate one who calls himself a prophet. The man FAILS.
I am asuming that you know the man personally because there is NO other way that you could decide that he is anointed and hears God’s voice. Fact is that the ‘5 fold’ minisry idea is NOT as old as the church. It is a semi revivalist effort from the 1830s with various rebirths. It was based on FALSE prophecy of the final days. If you want to claim that go right ahead.
I just know that even Jesus warned us to be wary of one claiming special knowledge and making it sond like it comes from God. I will not be deceived by the likes of this yahoo
1 Corinthians 14:32 (King James Version)
32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Are you a prophet ?
Nice taking out of context. False prophets do that too.
This section of Corinthians is speaking of behaviour in church services and how and in what order people should speak.
It is the misuse of scripture that is deadly
Not as old as what church?
You are so amusing but really with today being 9/11 I am going to focus on things important
Afraid to tell me which church you are talking about?
You really are not paying attention.
I could name any number of churches but if you read actually read Corinthians instead of just cherry picking verses then you will see.
Unless you have some advanced training in the biblical languagesI don’t trust your fundamental scholarship skills.
I am not afraid to talk with you. It is just that a) you do not answer direct refutations of what you say and b) you have a distorted sense of what the Bible( and particularly the New Testament) teaches. I could engage you for a rather long time but as the Good Book teaches me I am not to throw pearls before swine
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
And I’m not either. Buh bye.
***You’ve already been judged, and found guilty***
Scripture, please. My Bible says that I will be Judged by Him after my death. Matthew 12:
36
25 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak.
37
By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
On the day of Judgement, you WILL BE acquitted or condemned.
2 Corinthians 5:
10
For we must all appear 7 before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.
We all must appear (future tense).
Hebrews 9:
27
Just as it is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment,
Note the order: death first, then Judgement.
*** Only faith in Christ brings salvation. Your trust in your own works are in vain.***
Without faith in Christ, no salvation is possible. Yet the Judgement remains. What do you think that you will be Judged on? Jesus tells us and so does Paul.
***I’ll continue to pray for your salvation... ***
I thank you for that. And appreciate it.
sorry.
Romans 6: 3ff Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ...
