He that believes and is not water baptised is saved

Y'all can call it what you want.

For me, MY FAITH is a priviledge.

Not because God bestowed me with Faith but because He made me understand what Faith is and that understanding is a gift
and that gift to me is a priviledge that He allows me to have the necessary Faith.

Say what you will.... it is MPOV
He made you understand the gospel.

You repented and told to TRUST what he showed you.

as apposed to others he tried to show. and did not respond. and remained in unbelief

this is how i see it
 
You have a really twisted view of a "work of God". But then, I suppose such twists are necessary for you.
I have a twisted view. Yet I believe God baptized me into him

while you think your pastor baptized you into God.

You remind me of a liberal who sees the truth. but are unable to actually see it..
 
Perhaps you can give some rational explanation of what @Eternally-Grateful means by "believing is a work of God". I have asked for an explanation of that before, but I have yet to see any.
Jesus said it is the work of God we believe

The gospel and our coming to faith is Gods work in us.. Its not a work of righteousness that we do.
when you have trouble explaining your truth, you see things that are not true

What does God do in you to bring you to faith?

or do you think you did this work yourself?

Exactly where free-will comes into play.

It was my choice to believe.
 
Objective truth of the bible or what you think is objective truth of the bible? Who here doesn't think that what they post is not the objective truth of the bible?

If you intended that comment to me based upon my post #1458, then how is that any less a personal attack than what I posted?

It's led by God.. He initiates the prompting on the person's spirit and the person can then believe on Him. Belief is a change of mind,heart led by Him.
 
I don't think there is anyone posting in this forum that boasts more than @Eternally-Grateful. Maybe @jeremiah1five but probably not.
You have no discernment of me at all. Boasting? I boast as much as God does every time He says by what arm He delivered His people, the children of Israel, out of their Egyptian bondage.
And He doesn't violate Saul's statement about how God is love.
I give God all the glory for delivering Israel from their bondage. So, yes, along with God, we boast about Him doing that.

You boast in being of Jewish ancestry and being of the "chosen ethnicity". That is obvious in your posts.

That's not true. You not only need to learn to read but also to have comprehension of what you misread.
I never claimed to be of Jewish ancestry. My position is that God made covenant promises to Abram the Hebrew. Later, God made covenant promises with Abram's Hebrew seed whom God delivered out of their bondage in Egypt, led them through the desert and parked them at Mount Sinai where God made covenant promises with Abram's Hebrew seed also known as the children of Israel. My position is also that the prophet Jeremiah made a prophecy in which the God of Abram and his Hebrew seed will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel (ten northern kingdom tribes), and the House of Judah (two southern kingdom tribes and that this New Covenant from God was established in the body and blood of God's own Son who was the fulfillment of dozens of prophecies and promises in the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets - the Hebrew Scripture - which New Covenant was initiated by the Holy Spirit of Promise PROMISED TO ISRAEL when He arrived on the Jewish Feast of Harvest (Pentecost) in which three thousand Jews and mixed heritage Jews were born-again and baptized into the body of the Promised One of Israel, and that by virtue of these covenant promises and covenants of God with the Hebrew people that those who are of Abram's Hebrew seed - both Jews and mixed heritage Jews - are the only people among all peoples of the world who are marked for salvation and redemption by the God of Abram.

I also claim in accordance with Hebrew Scripture that only Abram and his seed are blessed of these covenants and the accompanying promises including eternal life to be shared with God for all eternity. And since no man can trace their ancestry on this site past at least the American Revolutionary War that no one can know for sure whether they are of Hebrew ancestry except by the fact that God made covenant with Abram and his seed, the Holy Spirit of Promise PROMISED TO ISRAEL is the means of a person being born-again and that no non-Hebrew Gentile are included in these covenants and promises made by God with the Hebrew people. Therefore, there is evidence based upon Scripture that the only people who have been promised the Holy Spirit are the Hebrew people in covenant with God and that since one needs the Holy Spirit to be born-again that any person who is truly born-again would have to be of Hebrew ancestry since God made covenant with Abram the Hebrew and his Hebrew seed.

Knowing without a doubt that I have been born-again, been given the Holy Spirit of Promise (another Comforter) to be with me until Jesus the Christ returns to earth as promised by the Son and that we will have to wait until then to know who is truly saved and who is not but has been living a lie based upon false Constantinian Gentile theology that although never having been in covenant with God nor given any of God's promises have for the past 2000 years made claim to the King of Israel and the God of Abram since then - something which cannot be found in any of the covenants nor in the Hebrew Scripture.

Therefore, knowing I am born-again and saved by the Holy Spirit the possibility that I might be Abram's seed rests on this evidence of Scripture and reality. And yes, I have and do speak in tongues. As Martin Luther is quoted as saying: I rest upon the Word of God. I can do no more. God help me.

Did you get all that?
