Come on, you aren't that dim.

Without obedience, we cannot access the benefits of God's grace.

Quit trying to put words in my keyboard.

A man repents and is baptized according to Acts 2:38, and recieves the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues, but believe that forgiveness of sins in obtained through repentance. Is he lost?


They say silence is golden. But its also a form of deception. If you believe these persons are lost, then say it. We take pride in the fact that we are bold and secure in our beliefs. Are these people lost?

My answer? No, No. No.

From faith to faith.

This is a complete distortion of "by faith only" and I believe you know that, Bro. Steve!

The Body is made up of those born of God ... "from above" ....

It's a put-down, a direct one and an intentional one. "Faith only" people don't make baptism a requirement or Spirit baptism essential. Hello!

Makes me mad to be honest. Maybe it's time to start doing a little brushing myself.

Sister, you aren't referring to me are you?

Will you stop with the Acts revisionist history ...

I don't consider Felicity "faith only."
