Be convinced with these 4 biblical truths: 1. Each of us has sinned; 2. God is just, requiring a punishment for sin; 3. But out of love God sent His Son, Jesus Christ who by dying on the cross, provided forgiveness of sins in taking man’s deserved punishment; 4. Therefore, by faith alone in Christ’s sacrifice for our sins and belief in His resurrection, man can gain eternal life. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Romans 3:21-26) Read more at https://teleiosresearch.com/salvation-explanation/.
You may ping me all you want, so can everyone else on FR, EXCEPT MHGinTN. He has asked me not to so the same applies to him. He says he is done with me and my cult ways, but yet he sends veiled posts to his buddies in response to my posts. Maybe I’ll say this... From now on every time I post to “All”, it is code for MHGinTN. I’m doing the honorable thing by NOT pinging him out of respect for his wishes. Fair enough? Additionally, I will post to “All” when out of the blue I just feel like presenting something to no one in particular, even though there are the usual suspects that I could ping. It hasn’t stopped anyone from seeing what I post. For the most part I ping. It has only been of recent that circumstances were altered slightly. But, you are right. The problem is that I have so many haters coming at me I can’t include everyone. It’s just not possible. I’m doing my best.
He’s already here and he’s been hard at work, Guess you missed it.
I guess I did...Where can I go to meet him???
He sent the Holy Spirit in his place till he got back...When did he get back??? Where can I go to see him???
Get on a plane to Italy, then go to Rome. Pull into the Vatican. Turn off your GPS because you are there. Say Hi to the Pope for me.
OK, which is better than the "Why are you even posting to me" response, even though my post to you before your protest was a result of your posting to "All." When you do that on a issue then you can hardly complain when people out of the "All" respond.
I’ll think about it.

The Antichrist, that is, if that’s who you were referring to.
Obviously you CAN'T quote Scripture because you will not find all the following words YOU claimed Jesus said:
Instead, what you have done is interject your own religion's interpretation of what Jesus must have meant when He spoke to the crowd as recorded in John 6. Anyone can read it for themselves and through the illumination of the Holy Spirit will understand the truth of the gospel and not the Satanic lies of an accursed gospel that annuls GRACE.
Why not reread John 6 without the Roman Catholic-tinted glasses and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to your heart? Once you sincerely do that you will start to understand the unspeakable joy of our salvation that those of us God has freed from false religion feel which compels us to share that truth with others.
Another day has passed. Why can’t anyone explain why pre trib rapture believers chop off the last week of Daniel’s 70 week continuous time prophecy, given by God, and transport it by UFO 2000 years into the future? Why can’t MHGinTN explain it? (I’ll give smvoice credit for at least trying)

You contradict yourself. You quote a well-known Bible verse that Shows the necessity for belief in Jesus Christ. Then you say faith alone is all that’s necessary. Well which is it? Is it faith only? Is it faith and belief? What about confession? What about repentance? Please. Study the Bible and learn the path unto salvation and everlasting life.
You believe repentance is not needed?
Then curiously they claim that ONLY their priests can properly "confect" the sacrament of that bread and wine into the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus in order for you to receive Christ and maintain your "state of grace"! You gotta go to THEIR guys if you want to go to heaven. What a racket!
I certainly am not contradicting myself. God made it simple. Beleive in him and you shall be saved. It is a gift from God. You accept it on faith.
Do you need to repent of your sins to go to Heaven?
Please study the Bible. I’m on my phone or I would give you the verses, which I’m sure you know, which include the commandment to confess with your mouth, to repent of your sins, even to be baptized for the remission of sins.
Unfortunately, far too many people believe your false doctrine. Sure they believe in Jesus Christ, sure they have faith in Jesus Christ, but they have never repented of their sins, they have never confessed the name of Christ. they have never been baptized for the remission of sins and they have never become a disciple of Christ.
And they are lost for all eternity. All because of a false doctrine of faith only.
It's called the "Age of Grace" and is an intermission of sorts between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel's prophecy. Here's an article that can help you grasp that The 70 Weeks of Daniel.
What gives, Phil? Last week you were going on and on about the Saturday Sabbath keeping being necessary for salvation and the week before that it was the Archangel Michael being Jesus. Is your hobbyhorse this week the Rapture and the Tribulation? We're wise to the cultic tactics of rabbit hole arguments. Why pretend you want a discussion when all you really are trying to do is proselytize for the Seventh Day Adventist cult?
I am not into cults like the SDA. I read Walter Martin’s book, kingdom of the cults. 😁
The doctrine of "faith alone" is NOT false! Repentance is to change your mind (metanoein - to change one's mind or purpose). You turn away/change your mind from relying upon dead works to save you to Jesus Christ who is the propitiation for all our sins. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). Baptism is the New Birth - we are baptized in the Holy Spirit when we come to Christ in faith, when we believe in Him as our Savior. Water baptism can come later when we decide to make a public testimony of our faith in following Jesus Christ - water baptism is a "work" and we are not saved by our works LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST (see Ephesians 2:8,9). When you start insisting people MUST do this or that, must NOT do this or that, you are adding works to salvation and you are nullifying grace. Grace means UNMERITED, UNEARNED, UNDESERVED. We are saved BY grace THROUGH faith.
No one is suggesting we should tell people to just say they believe in Jesus and they can go out and live however they want. True, genuine, heart-felt faith in Christ results in a new birth, we are born again from above and have a new spirit nature that is indwelt by the Holy Spirit of promise. He has sealed us until the day of redemption. And because we are now children of God, He disciplines and chastises us as He is conforming us into the image of Christ. He is working within us to sanctify and purify us so that we bring Him glory and draw others to faith in Christ. If we sin, we confess and He forgives us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. It is a process that He is working within each one of us in our own way. For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13). Salvation IS a free gift of God's grace and we receive that gift through faith/believing in God's promise.
So does a person need to repent of their sins to be saved, or not?
