Here was my original question: Can anyone show me in the New Testament where someone was saved by the sinners prayer? Or instructed or encouraged to pray for his or her salvation? And here was your reply: For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments...

Thx for the link. It is made very clear in the full account of Paul's conversion that calling upon the name of the Lord did not refer to prayer. (keep the timeline of events in mind, Saul already asked the Lord what he should) The Bible states in Acts 9:11, "11 And the Lord said to him...

Thx for replying but that doesn't answer the question.

Here are a few videos that will really help you in your understanding of baptism: What Must I Do To Be Saved? | TheTruthAbout.net Searching for Truth About Baptism If you have any questions let me know :)

To answer your question and for a good understanding of how to become a new testament Christian (just a Christian) watch this video. What Must I Do To Be Saved? | TheTruthAbout.net If you have any more questions I'd be glad to answer them.

"Jesus answered them and said, 'My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.' " - John 7:16 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” - Matt 4:4 For this is the love of God, that we keep His...

andy_b, So your saying the following passage doesn't mean anything? 16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy...

I'm not sure I understand your post. But lets correctly quote John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." - John 14:6

Ok let's read the rest of verse 14: 14 "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14 The Word here can only mean Jesus, since Jesus is both man and God. "In the beginning was...

Hizikyah, I'd like to first say I appreciate your question. The two words "sound doctrine" in both passages above are hygiainō didaskalia in the original language (Koine Greek). Literally translated hygiainō means healthy and didaskalia means teaching. The translators simply chose...

Read the book of Mark from beginning to end. If you have any questions let me know!

Didn't Abraham believe and work in Genesis 12:4, which would be way before Genesis 15:6 and Genesis 22? One can not be justified by simply believing (mental assent), one can only be justified by a working faith (obedient faith) which is, obviously, what James is showing in James 2:20-24...

How can a faith with no provings, no demands, and no expectations save? Matthew 22:37-39 - Love is the greatest of all commands. If obeying commands is not necessary to salvation, then love is not necessary! Yet note 1Corinthians 16:22. Acts 17:30 - Repentance is a command. Ifkeeping commands...

Are you saying that one can not fall from grace? We are saved by grace THROUGH faith. "8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith" - Ephesians 2:8 One must have faith before one can be saved by grace. It is not the other way around. At what point are a person's sins...
