Again, saying muslims are lost is identical to saying no one can be saved through "salvation by works."

Like it or lump it.

we are back to "tell it to the Good Samaritan," and you are essentially saying "hooey" to Christ, who tells you "Go, and do likewise."

so then, you did not need to repeat Acts 2:38 in front of the congregation to be saved? can't you already see where this is going? but go ahead...

and i see that you still conflate works with deeds? is this true? Because we have verses for this, also.

until you confront that the Good Samaritan is accepted, despite not agreeing with your dogma, there is a whole lot of Scripture that just is not going to make any sense to you, I'm thinkin. Avoid the question all you like, but see that you are just avoiding God.

and also, faith is not belief. Belief is not faith. One has faith, in a belief.

I would really like to discuss the issue of the good Samaritan with you, really. But you always make a reference to it as if the reference proves your point, and you provide no explanation as to how the story proves your position. You just keep saying they have the GS. Explain what you are talking about. It's like you're purposely being vague and mystical about it, as though those uninformed and of lesser insight will not get it. You purposely ignore the points I make and respond as if I never said them.

Discuss, man. Discuss. Start a whole thread just on the GS.

to what end? the point has already been made. It is in the question you will not answer. If you do not see the difference in Love you neighbor and All Muslims are lost, then what else is there to say? You might see that the early Church did not even have Acts 2:38 to guide them, and they ran on "Love your neighbor." It was "sufficient for them."

I can't see any question since you're not explaining your question enough to get your concept you're trying to relate, I invite you to do so and I get this. See what I mean? Futile.

Brother Blume, this guy is only a troll, he doesn't even care about the subject he is currently discussing with you. He probably tortures small animals when he isn't on line trolling forums.
