If the fact that I have been baptized in Jesus' Name means that I don't agree with the Trinity, then there must be something about such a baptism that makes a person disagree with the Trinity.
Of course the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who repent and are baptized in Jesus' Name...
I do not need a scripture that states that. It is a first truth that is self-evident as being truth; that God would never command us to do anything unless we are able to do it; because God is not unfair. Therefore, if we were unable to do it before the command, He enables us to do it in that...
That is fine, I will accept it as being "persecution for righteousness' sake".
Of course the Nicene creed expresses dissent with the biblical teaching of Romans 1:3.
But it is fine with me that my posting privileges are restricted over the fact that I hold to what the Bible says over your...
Clearly, there is one Lord in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:5); and that Lord is the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21, 2 Corinthians 6:17-18).
Eph 4:5, One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Mat 11:25, At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because...
I have decided to post this in this section of the forums as in this post I will express a certain dissent with what is written in the creeds.
To the moderators, I give you the option of changing my status so that I can only post in this section or else trust in the fact that I will not post...
Jesus Christ became the Son when He was incarnated (and was God before that situation occurred).
Previous to that, He was "the Omnipresent, eternal Spirit who inhabiteth eternity (Isaiah 57:15) without flesh".
He is the Son in that He is come in flesh.
Again, it is what the sleeping did as he is woken partially out of sleep (for those who are dead in trespasses and sins, are sleeping, Ephesians 5:14).
It is kind of like when the man in Mark 9 says to Jesus, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
The man was partially woken out of sleep...
That should be spelled "elude".
The believer contributes nothing except his own surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ...that is, agreement with the Lord that he is a sinner and needs to change his own ways.
I certainly don't contend that an unbeliever has any power to receive Christ apart from being drawn to Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
If God commands you, personally to do something, He will give you the power to do it.
Otherwise He is being unfair in that He is requiring something of...
God gave that great commission to the entire church; not to us individually as Christians.
There will come a time when the gospel will be published among all nations and the church will have at that time fulfilled its commission to evangelize the world.
Then you didn't receive it and...
I believe that when God says to anyone "Be holy as I am holy" that He will with that give the person an opportunity to receive the holiness of God in enabling them to receive the Holy Spirit as a free gift from the hand of the Lord.
Yes, it is the gift of God. If you are going to be the...
coexistent modalism (as it has been labeled) is not the exact same thing as modalism.
In it, there are three distinct Persons within the Godhead (Trinity).
You would have to look into everything the doctrine entails before judging it; for it is not modalism just as hyper-Calvinism isn't Calvinism.
