Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 05 2009,11:39)G, That new knowledge forms the basis of conscience.The Law then was given to help men follow conscience.Scripture states conscience convicted before “new knowledge.” Men had that conscience “apart from the law.”Rom 2:14  For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they…[Read more]

Nick writes –Quote Hi S, The inner cleansing by the blood of the Lamb is to prepare our vessels to hold the treasure of the Spirit.We are naturally ignorant in every way and with seared consciences even unaware of our sin issues.So repentance that brings the forgiveness of God is of sin and not particular sins.I am sure it wasn't intentional, but…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 04 2009,15:54)Hi S, Certainly the gospel advice was given publically as the gospel should always be preached.God is surely not interested in a true tabulation of our sins but a big change of heart.Admitting our folly of trying to do it ourselves and our helplessness without HimThat is a start.Beat around the bush! The…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 03 2009,19:31)hi S, Repentance unto salvation is a personal matter between lost men and their estranged God.Reconciliation is the plan and we are blessed to be allowed to assist. Sharing the gospel sows the seeds.Acts 2:38 which you quote so often looks pretty public.

Quote (Gene @ May 03 2009,06:50)Kerwin……….I disagree with that , His answer is vague because he doesn't understand the salvation process, on the one hand he says (WE) need to repent, then says Has God not shown you, then says if you do not hear for awhile , (all vague answers and no specificity given)  The inference on the (WE) shows a self…[Read more]
