Nick, you are a master at twisting words. It's you who doesn't believe His words, trying to change history to support your misguided doctrine.Blessings.

Of course Nick, glad to help out anyone not familiar with scripture. Acts1:5. You're welcome.Blessings.

Hi Nick. I can't believe your ignorance, this is history, we are reading about something that has happened. We are reading what Jesus was teaching the Jews, and what He said. We can't erase what has been done, or what He said, or try to change what He said to suit your doctrine. If you want to not believe what was said, then that is up to…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ June 03 2008,18:31)Nick if there is (ONE) baptism that saves me why would i care about any others then. Did John's baptism ever convert a single person, answer (NO) did it ever save anyone (NO) was the apostles saved by there water Baptism before they were baptized with  Fire and Spirit, answer (NO) Like i said earlier it's…[Read more]

Hi Nick. I just like to believe what Jesus says, why do you think that you should change the meaning of His words just to satisfy your personal doctine?Blessings.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 15 2008,16:07)Hi CO, You appoint yourself to be one one who applies the applications of God's words alone to?Just because his primary mission was to Israel does not make those words always invalid for others.Hi Nick. In that era, Gods dealings were for the Jews only. See Eph.2:11-12… 11 Wherefore, remember that…[Read more]

Hi Nick, I am obeying the words of Jesus, It's you who refuses to believe Jesus when He says ” I was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. Why don't YOU believe what He says?Blessings.

Above explanation regarding “being born again” is for Nick. (or anyone else who is interested)Blessings.

Matt.22, written to the Jews, Matt.15:24 (spoken by Jesus), “I was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. Are we to ignore Jesus' words?Blessings.

Hi lineon. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who blesses us with every spiritual blessing among the celestials, in Christ,4 according as He chooses us in Him before the disruption of the world, we to be holy and flawless in His sight,5 in love designating us beforehand for the place of a son for Him through Christ Jesus;…[Read more]

Hi Gene, thanks for your reply, you're right on.Blessings.

Hi lineon. “All is of God” Ro.11:36. See also 1Co.8:5-7, 1Co.11:12, 2Co.5:18. We must “correctly cut the word of truth” 2Tim.2:15. This means we should note “Who is speaking, and to whom it is spoken to”. Most of the old testament is about the Jews and God working with them. Also the four gospels are about Jesus teaching the Israealites…[Read more]

Hi lineon. …that the purpose of God may be remaining as choice, not out of acts, but of Him (God) who is calling, …(Ro.9:11-12).Blessings.

Universal salvation. AS GOD is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of those who believe (1 Tim.4:10), we may confidently rest on one grand and glorious foundation truth–that all salvation is of God, and neither believer nor unbeliever has any part in it. On the one hand this assures us of the possibility of saving all men, for God alone is a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 11 2004,09:03)In your teaching on salvation you make serious doctrinal errors. You say Jesus is the Firstborn and mankind is saved by Jesus. You ignore the command of Jesus that we too 'must be born again of water and The Holy Spirit'. You teach that a simple intellectual assent and prayer are sufficient to achieve that…[Read more]

Anyone else?

Hi DK, I agree, there is no contradiction. Jesus' ministry was to the Jews (Matt.15:24) and only to them. After His crucifiction and He was still rejected by the Jews, God turned to the “nations”. Jesus commissiond Paul to give the message to them, the nations. I was just trying to make the point that Jesus' ministry in that era was to…[Read more]

Thanks gollamudi, always appreciate your acknowledgememnt.Blessings.

Thanks for your opinion, much appreciated. I believe that Christs sacrifice justified us all, without His sacrifice, non would be justified so no one would be saved.Blessings.
