Amen.
You're right.
The Romans thought Zeus and others were gods. They were wrong. They are both examples of false teachings.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life...no one comes to the Father but through Me (John 14:6 NASB)."
The way the Greek is set up on the "I am" part of this statement essentially means compared to all other beliefs, Jesus is the only way to the Father.
All other ways are false.
It’s ‘because of that assurance of our Salvation we have Jesus that we pray.
Sound like the "First Protestant", Martin Luther. Do you sin boldly also?
Do you not miss the Sacrament of Confession that Christ has instituted?
I, too, was born again when I was baptized and I don’t believe the crap you’re spouting.
Why should anyone miss that when all we need to do is pray to Jesus? We do not need a middleman.
But the Prots seem to have a couple thousand different ways themselves.
Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, water will not help. Sounds like you just might have a problem with the Bible, too.
Nobody is born again by water baptism.
Physical actions do not cause spiritual realities to happen.
If you were truly born again and knew spiritual truths, you wouldn’t even need to ask the questions you’ve been asking.
Why would anyone ignore John: Chapter 20? What happened to “sola scriptura”? Or do you cherry pick Scripture, just like Martin Luther?
I confess my sin to God when I sin.
But that doesn’t change anything about my salvation, which is sealed in heaven through the Holy Spirit. All confession does is reopen the lines of communication between me and God.
It restores the relationship and was disrupted but not broken by sin.
We believe the Bible and I have attended many different denominations over the years. Each and every one taught directly from the Bible. I know they did because I have taken my Bible to church since I learned how to read many years ago. I followed along in mine.
ROTFLMAO. What do you call Christ's physical sacrifice on the Cross?
So which denomination is the best for you?
Sure I miss going to confession, like I miss having my teeth filled with no novacaine.
The “sacrament” of confession does nothing for a person.
God Himself promises that if we confess our sins HE is faithful and just to forgive us. We don’t need a preist to tell me what God has already told me.
I trust God.
Pity the person who trusts man but not God to tell him something.
Honestly if someone won’t trust God, why the heck do they trust man?
Being sprinkled does not save anyone. It has to come from the heart when you truly accept Jesus. Have you done that?
What spiirtual reality do you think Jesus’ death on the cross caused to happen?
So do you reject John: Chapter 20? Or did Christ one day personally blow on you, also? Do you also have the power to forgive or retain the sins of your brethren?
I'm not talking about a spring shower.
If the church truly teaches from the Bible, it was fine with me. I have attended Assembly of God, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Church of God, Methodist, Church of God of Prophecy, interdominational, etc. Every minister taught directly from the Bible. People are in big trouble if theirs do not.
