God is the Savior of all men, especially those who believe- Paul in 1 Timothy 4:10... That's like saying track is for everyone, especially for those who like to run. Jesus is the Savior of all, especially for those who trust in Him. God's grace & mercy will win out over everything else in the end, after His judgment. Those who reject God will face Him on judgment day but God will not write them off forever.
Again, so? Mormonism is a perversion of the beliefs of the church of Christ just like Catholicism is a perversion of NT Christianity. Are you going to blame Peter and Paul for the Crusades?
You must have Faith to repent.Repentance and faith are inseprable. Believe and repant are 2 sides of the same coin. When you say one, the other has to be assumed.
In John 3:16 Jesus said "whosoever believeth in him" but we KNOW that it is a REPENTING BELIEF ! I cannot "TURN" to Christ without "TURNING" from my sins.That is my belief.
If you TURN to face someone in a room you must TURN your back to something or somone else in the room. Repent means to"TURN".
Obedience to baptism always FOLLOWS Salvation. Jesus commanded us to be H2o baptized, he made it a LAW. The Ten Commandments were also LAW, ALL commandments of GOD are LAW.
@ydnar0591 Acts 8, by the way, shows once again that REPENTANCE follows BELIEF, just as is shown in Acts 2. Simon was a BELIEVER. He needed to REPENT. He didn't REPENT during the process of becoming a believer, evidently. And he had been baptized, so all agree that he was SAVED: #1 He sinned, #2 He was told - NOT to have faith all over again - but to REPENT and PRAY. THAT is the "plan" for erring Christians - not to believer and be baptized all over again.
@ydnar0591 "then evryone who sins AFTER salvation MUST "REPENT & BE BAPTIZED" AGAIN EACH TIME THEY SIN !" Man, you use this SAME ILLOGICAL STATEMENT frequently, don't you? And the FACT is that there a good, thorough example of a man who SINNED after being saved, and his instruction was not to BELIEVE ALL OVER AGAIN, was it? Yet FAITH is necessary to salvation, isn't it? He was told to REPENT - not BELIEVE. And he was to REPENT of his wickedness.
When will man stop trying to add his works to God's Grace ?
IF as the CofC claims, H2o baptism is JUST AS ESSENTIAL as FAITH AND REPENTANCE , then evryone who sins AFTER salvation MUST "REPENT & BE BAPTIZED" AGAIN EACH TIME THEY SIN !
You cannot say "they are "EQUALLY ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION" as Cof C does, if you do not believe they are EQUAL in "EVERY" WAY.
IF I do NOT have to be H2o BAPTIZED for remission of sins after salvation then NOR do I have to CONFESS & REPENT of those sins.
this man doesn't have a problem with the Church of Christ, hes got a problem with the bible. All one needs to do is read the bible and they will see the steps for salvation. Rom 10:17, John 8:24, Luke 13:3, Rom. 10:10, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Rom 6:3-6, Study the bible for yourself before you trust what someone else tells you. Read all of it, not just little bits and pieces here and there.
