How hard is this, Steven? The only faith there is, which God will accept is faith in the finished work of Christ. Everything we receive from God is based on this one faith. There is no other, it's the only one!

Of course there is only one baptism! It's the baptism into Christ that Paul so often spoke of. It's the spiritual baptism into Christ. That is the only baptism! Water baptism is the literal reenactment of the only spiritual baptism. The only one who says baptized with the Holy Spirit is John...

How can you have a "living faith" without "the faith?" There is only one faith, there are not 2 or 3. All faith is in the finished work of Christ, or there is no faith at all. One can't say, I have faith in Christ, but my faith is this or that is a different faith.

Anything you could possibly have faith in concerning God, is based on "The Faith."

As I asked, Matthew! Why did Paul say there is one faith?

Matthew, can you explain to us why Paul said there is one faith? Eph. 4:5-6 "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

@SteVen, you have got to understand this! The only faith possible is that in the finished work of Christ on the Cross and His resurrection. Any and everything where I could possibly place faith is always in His finished work. Its the only means in which we receive favor from God. If I say I...

Living by faith is believing in the finished work of Christ. Faith is the substance that we are granted life through Christ. Faith is not some general thing, it is always and without doubt a specific faith.

Steven said, "living by faith is a result, not a cause." No one can reason with someone who sees faith in this fashion. This is messed up, Steven! Faith is the means by which we receive all things from God. If you can't understand this, no wonder you're in this mess.

As I have clearly shown you, Everlasting/eternal in Matt. 25:41, 46 is without end. So how can Annihilationism be a part of sound doctrine found in Scripture?

No, Steven, why don't you just be honest! You are slamming the Church in general because we won't accept your pitiful UR stand!

What about the Law of God that states, "the just shall live by faith?" Do all have faith in Christ, Steven? When you come to terms with God's Laws, you will understand the Scripture!

Well start acting like He's your God, and stop with the second guessing that He's doing the right thing!

Or, Christ wants us the have the faith of a child who has no thought of the necessities of life, but totally depends on the parents for everything they need. Just simple faith!

Just because you had a bad experience with the established system does not give you the right to body slam the true Church of God. There are some good Churches out there, and you have no right to throw them in the mix. I agree that the apostate church rules society. but that does not give you...

I'm not speaking of the Law of Moses, Steven. I'm speaking of the Laws established by God throughout His Word. Laws that say, "the wages of sin is death" that' a Law of God. He abides by that Law. "If you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sin" That is an established Law of God...

Accept you have not surrendered to Christ in faith, Steven. It's that simple. You are rebelling against God demanding your way, disregarding His written Laws. You refuse to trust that all He says, all He does is right, even though you don't understand. That is faith, Steven, and my friend...

There you go, undermining the Laws of God plainly written in Scripture. No regard whatsoever for His authority, but demanding your way be received of God. A little child in a candy shop that needs a good old spanking.

Steven, the whole concept of UR is twisted. It assumes all men are saved regardless of mans free will to reject God. The Ur disregards all the Laws God has established, and refuses to see we are under His authority not our own. Only the born-again who have chosen Christ will be accepted of...

Dude, what is wrong with you? Did I not say there is no mention of the resurrection of the just found in Revelation, it takes place before Revelation begins to unfold? Paul explains it in 1Thes. 4. So why do you ask, "Where is your rapture in Revelation?
