You don't believe anyone in the churches are real believers?

Well that's not how it's supposed to be done anyway. You want to talk about biblical commands, you might also want to mention the one about gathering with other believers.

I see no reason to not call communion holy. If the Holy Spirit is there how can it be anything else?

I have never seen anything like this taught by OSAS church pastors. Perhaps it's out there, but in my experience pastors who believe in once saved always saved still are quite concerned with not falling into a sinful pattern of life. I have brought this up to their faces because my concern was...

Oh you poor child! :)

Then, you believe the water is what does part of the work and that God can't regenerate us without it. I can quote scads of verses that say it's faith alone, but you want to have a salvation that includes works. So be it.

Of course, I'm not ungodly. If I was ungodly how could I be a believer in Jesus and born again? And I already said multiple times that I'm a saint who still sins. What's the time limit between a sin committed and repenting from that sin before God cuts you off? What if you don't remember that...

If you have sin unseen you are still a sinner. And God sees all. Ok, sinless perfect person! You continue to talk in riddles. I'm done.

You just said you sin no more. That would make you currently sinless. I don't think you know what you are.

You have never had a non believer do any good in your life? Why don't you get real?

So currently sinless?

So you are trying to claim non Christian people cannot do anything good? Wow.

I'm pretty sure middle eastern people of the time had somewhat brown skin.

There are verses in the Bible about unsaved people doing good. Of course all people are sinful. But anyone can do good. Some very loving people are not believers. God's image in them is what allows them to do good.

So if I'm hairless I was always hairless? You might want to think about how you phrase things.

Symbolism, in every case. The water or the mud or the food don't do anything magic. And there's many kinds of baptism in scripture that don't include water. God does a supernatural act at conversion. Baptism symbolizes it for us. We aren't saved by baptism. What does it take to be saved? " if...

Can a person who is dead in their sins do something good? Of course! So why would I believe that being dead TO sin means I can't sin? But if you want to split hairs: For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not...
