Hi guys,Not to take sides but I must concur with BOB, If you look at EPHESHIANS 2 VS. 8 & 9 , you will see the light. FOR BY GRACE ( GRACE OF GOD ) YOU ARE SAVED THROUGH FAITH,FAITH, FAITH,.AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES.. Nothing about baptisim, Baptism is an outward sign and that we accept what JESUS has done for us. EXAMPLE. What if you were paralized on your death bed and couldn't move a mussel even wink an eye , and you accept JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR and because your not baptised in water your not saved???. Just one example, Hope this helps ..... TAKO

What did the Apostle Paul say?

Romans Chapter 3

21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-- 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. 27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Yup Bob, it is all about FAITH! Bless you brother for speaking the TRUTH.

God Bless,

stevehut:

I will repeat my question.......

Why are YOU posting under two different aliases ("JOSHUA" & "Stevehut") from the SAME "IP" number??? Why are YOU intentionally breaking a cardinal rule of this Board???

Fellow Moderators...please check this thread closely for what I've identified!!

What is faith?

Hebrews 11:1

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Where does faith come from?

Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

In His service,

Grace to you,

Faith is the belief on God's Word. That the One giving the Word is capable to follow thru on the Word.

No one is drawn to Faith lest the Father in heaven calls and chooses him.

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement. And this will we do if God permits".

If you do not understand the foundational principle of Christ's doctrine of baptisms, it would be a good thing to be instructed in this, as well as the others listed in Hebrews 6. Ask your local apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher. They are given by God and exist only for the "perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"
