Are Christians really bound by every law in the Torah that is within their means to do. for example i desire to obey God but i would feel really akward stoning someone to death. i honestly am not...

thanks for these verses. so we can see the Bilble does seem to say we are justified at the point of believing, so maybe we should discuss what are the aspects of being justified? of course it means...

here is a baptist site that shows some info(of course they are trying to dog him out there but some intersting quotes from Martin nontheless. i would disagree with his practices of infant baptism...

i must say after much debate and argumentation, i am beginning to lean more toward the position of martin luther......baptism saves. it is the means through which many aspects of the gospel are...

the Bible says let each man be fully convinced even on matters of food and drink. right now i am neither fully convinced that all are justified before water baptism nor am i convinced that all are...

just a sidenote i think many reformers including Luther viewed baptism as a "means of grace" aka a sacrament aka baptismal regeneration. i think John Piper also holds this view though i may be wrong...

quick question. i hear you guys dont do things in church that the Bible is silent on. so why do you guys have pews in the church or in-church baptismals?

baptism isnt hard but for some finding a godly person to adminster it is. imagine you become a christian out of a muslim family in the middle east. not the easiest thing to find a godly christian to...

i was not considering joining i just came across a website of a guy who was a preacher in one and they were saying all these things about instruments and about how we cant do anything unless the...

We all know that justification is right-standing with God. at what point are we justified, and how does this relate to water baptism and the remission of sins. is it possible to be justified by...
