Where is that in the Bible?
Oh c'mon...The relevant scripture has been posted to you guys thousands of times...And now you are pretending you've never seen them???
Since I’m already in the book of Ephesians with editor-surveyor, I thought I would give the Scripture regarding the baptism, the ONE baptism that the Holy Spirit performs on us, the body of Christ, in this age of grace: Eph. 4:5. ONE baptism, not two. Whereby the Holy Spirit baptizes us INTO the body of Christ. Spiritual, not water.
Yes, the bible does say that...
Do you believe that???
They have not “studied to show themselves approved,” and have been told that salvation is an unconditionally guaranteed shot just for saying a few words that were given to them to recite.
Luk_18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Was that guy saved???
Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Was this thief saved???
They both said a 'sinner's prayer'...Seems biblical to me...
I read it in the English...I don't see how it could be made any more clear that what I read...
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
And telling us to read Scripture is NOT an answer because Catholicism claims they are word of mouth aka tradition, and weren’t included in Scripture.
It is in Scripture, that everything is not in Scripture
So what are they? How do you know? How do you know they were passed down faithfully?
We have Christ’s promise that His Church will always teach the Truth:
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:12-13
What are your sources for such knowledge and please post them for verification purposes.
The Scripture I just posted.
That's right...And what's not there is not scripture...
But at the same time, what is also in scripture is that every thing we need to know to gain salvation is written in scripture...So there you go...
Now let’s look at context and reality:
1. This was written to Timothy
2. Timothy was born in 17 AD
Therefore, the Scripture Timothy knew from infancy and what Paul is referring to is The Old Testament. The New Testament wasn't written at the time of Timothy’s infancy.
Where is that in Scripture? That is just your man-made, make believe religion.
You sound just like a Catholic.....
So what ARE the word of mouth teachings passed down?
You have not yet answered that question.
Give us examples.
Specifics.
List the word of mouth teachings passed down from the apostles that you KNOW are from the apostles, and that you KNOW have been passed down faithfully in the form in which they were given.
Show us the path of transmission, who the word of mouth teachings were handed down to and from.
So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:15
So what are these traditions??
The question has been asked hundreds of times and yet, no catholic has given the answer.
What are you talking about?
I’m sure you’ve noticed that nothing I’ve posted pleases any of the catholics.
Perhaps you are somehow unaware that Torah is what Paul preached, every day, everywhere.
In Hebrews 4:2 he makes it clear that the gospel that he preached is the exact gospel that Moses preached, and the difference in effect was a lack of faith.
The body of believers began with Adam. There is zero difference.
The “mystery” that Paul revealed is that Yeshua’s remarriage to the House of Israel to whom Paul preached was not forbidden by Torah because her husband had died.
God has divided nothing, but the sheep and the goats.
What you post is nonsense, its not found in the word, it is in the imagination of a few men. “Now” is when each person has to face his sin and repent. It is a different now for each person. “Time past” was before each person was moved by the Holy Spirit.
The kingdom is in most respects yet to come. We see it darkly, as reflected in a glass, but in that moment at the last trump we will know as we are known.
When you quit repenting each sin, you reach a point where there is no possibility of return.
That is what the word plainly says.
We'all didn't...Jesus did...read it yourself.
So you believe once your salvation is lost there is no second chance.....no second chance. Nothing can be done.
