How about providing that scripture? Please provide that scripture. Certainly not Rom 12:5..."So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." Or Gal 3:28..."There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye...

The baptism of fire will occur when Jesus returns with His angels of fire to destroy the earth. It is written..."Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:" (Ps 104:4) It is written..."And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven...

Here. Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins is given to all who repent of sin. By that logic, so was eternal life. One baptism from God. Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is accomplished by men. It is also written..." Therefore leaving the principles...

I believe it IS physical.

I feel that "important" misses how crucial being "in Christ" truly is. In Him we are made alive, holy, set apart, atoned for, consecrated, justified, and empowered. Outside of Him we would just be unbelievers walking in darkness/sin. Ever noticed how many times the phrase "in Him" or "in whom"...

I have wondered about that too, but while praying about it, I heard the word "Cleanse". I looked up the word in my concordance and found this in Num 8:6...."Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them." This was the "priest's" preparation for service to God. Jesus was...

I can't agree. John's baptism, now in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and the baptism of the Holy Ghost continue today.

So you say there are two churches? I can't agree. One faith, one Spirit, one Lord, one body. I didn't say it, Paul did in 1 Thes 2:14..."For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus:" Matt 19:28 says differently..."And Jesus said unto them...

Could be. God is a marvelous Father. He has made things out of nothing.

If not playing video games made a man righteous, there are a lot more righteous than unrighteous folks on earth. I wish that were the case.

The foundation of the church, that Jesus was the Son of God, needs no outside support to make or keep it true.

Someone else would have taken the apostles place in this hypothetical situation.

Jesus is the door, the seed, the light, the resurrection, the life, the shepherd, and many more things. Why not a ladder for angels? But if He is not our leader, we will be lost.

None of the above. None at all.

He could have called Peter "Peter", and the rock foundation of God's church would still be that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus was the Son of God with or without twelve, thirteen, or five hundred apostles. How can anything change what exists? Jesus was God's Son !

I agree that the fact that Jesus is the Son of God, (Peter's profession), could be construed as "good news". I hesitate to see Peter's profession as the foundation of the new Jerusalem. The foundation would have stood without any of the 12 apostles. The 12 were, however, key to the relating of...

Why would it be, if they were not doing anything sexual? They are just room mates. It would be sinful if they acted on the temptation to commit sin.

In the context we were working with, it is indeed reduced to sexual pleasure.

That would not be sinful. Just as two thieves or liars living together wouldn't be sinful. It is the lies, the thefts, and any other unholy things that God despises. If one doesn't give in to temptation, there can be so sin.

Attraction is simply temptation with an extra "A". Both can be refused. I think "attraction" is called "enticement" in James 1:14-15. "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is...
