@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net The Bible never once makes baptism a condition to be saved.

What about observing the 10 commandments? Do you have to keep those as well to be saved?

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net Not according to the Bible.

1 Corinthians 1:8 : who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net Gal 5:4 : You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

A true believer isn't going to add works of the law to justification after they were justified by faith alone. I'd argue that the galatians were never saved.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net See the part where it says that you can lose this priceless gift? That's the problem.

For Catholics, it's not a gift, it's a reward. The Bible doesn't once imply or say that a once justified person loses the gift of salvation.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net Some Catholics would say faith is a process. Many Catholics would say faith is not sufficient for salvation. I'd say the sufficiency of faith is found in the Bible, but it's justification where most disagree.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net I believe the Bible is extremely clear when it comes to salvation. The problem arises when people create special definitions to words like "faith".

I would say faith is being fully convinced that Jesus paid for 100% of my sins on the cross. The RCC would say it's a relationship

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net Yes.

Matthew 7:13-14 :
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@RxOnlyFL @needGod_net Not once, actually.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@walkingtherange @needGod_net Keep my command? Or keep my commandments? 😂

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@coltongrypr @GregorysServant @Simmulator117 @needGod_net When have I created an opposition between Christ and baptism? Did I once imply that a Christian shouldn't get baptised? Or that baptism is not christ like?

No. No, I did not.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@GregorysServant @coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net I would say if someone relies on baptism for the forgiveness of sins, Christ will be of no advantage to you.

Martin Luther isn't my authority, the Bible is.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@coltongrypr @Simmulator117 @needGod_net Well, let's look at James 2:24. It states, "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone". If you look at the context around that verse, though, (which many Catholics do ignore), it is speaking about works being evidence of faith, not legalism.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@Simmulator117 @needGod_net Did I say that? No, of course I didn't. It's dishonest of you to even ask such a question.

You said, "let God cook". From my view, that's childish language and not helpful. We should be bringing people to Christ, not leaving them to burn in hell. If you truly cared, you would.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@AwrAccActAgn @needGod_net 2 Timothy 3:16-17 : All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

● Clearly shows that the Bible is sufficient for believers.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@Simmulator117 @needGod_net That's a sad view. The Bible disagrees with you.

1 John 5:13 : These things I have written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@ChrisRojas4081 @rockreborn22 @needGod_net Prove it

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@AwrAccActAgn @needGod_net I'll take the Bible, you take the institution. On judgement day, there will be no rome. But, my friend, there will be condemnation.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@Simmulator117 @needGod_net Unfortunately, you don't seem to want a genuine conversation. You're jumping all around and justifying Catholicism. The demons believe in Jesus. But as soon as you add obedience to grace, it is no longer grace. Catholicism teaches legalism. That's all.

[John DoeP @TeaJ03]

@Simmulator117 @needGod_net How do you know he hasn't settled yet? The way he's talking about Mary leads me to disagree with you.

The Bible doesn't use the language you're using, it's childish to say "let God cook".
