Pastor Scott,

Thank you for the study on the doctrine of sin, works for salvation, and the doctrine of justification by grace, through faith alone, in any dispensation. Although it was a long study it merits careful scrutiny by all of us. Justification by grace, through faith, in any dispensation, is the theme of the entire Bible and the purpose of the death of the Lord Jesus on the Cross of Calvary.

We want to thank you for your careful study and presentation.

Alan

 

Amen! What Alan said!:D Thank you very much Pastor for your excellent postings on this.

As you read through Acts you will notice as soon as a person was saved they were immediately baptized. Salvation wasn't attained through baptism; baptism was the immediate act of public testimony of being born again.

Still doesn't explain why Peter said what he did. Doesn't matter if people got baptized right away or not. That's not a gospel message you would preach today. It's clear from the verse that you needed to be baptized to receive the Holy Ghost. Who would tell someday Acts 2:38 as is if they asked you how to be saved?

More evidence that people force the bible to say something it doesn't when it doesn't to fit their theology.

Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 ¶  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 ¶  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19  Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

I'm still wondering why the continual promotion of false means of salvation are now accepted here when so many in the past were not allowed to do and were quickly dealt with. What has changed?

I could be wrong, but it seems as though there's a marked difference in the participation of the moderators.

Also, I'm still flabbergasted as to why Critical Mass (who introduced himself as an agnostic) is arguing scripture. Has he renounced his agnosticism and is now saved?

I recall you posting his initial post some weeks ago and I recall him saying that he was a Christian whom later became agnostic (but I may be recalling it incorrectly), then I believe Heb 6: 4-6 comes into play making that sequence of salvation, then adultery against God impossible.

Maybe he could elaborate?

flabbergasted is a fine word BTW: Does that make a sound when it happens, it sounds like it would make 2 distinct noises in succession?
