Why does Paul say "One faith" (Eph4:5) if there is more than one faith?

OK but even if exclusively true, and that is an open question, that doesn't support you saying "both". So that supports it being Old Covenant (which would support Dispensationalism), but how is it 'also' New Covenant then?

It's recorded oral tradition. And whenever we find something outside Scripture that corroborates Scripture, that's something worth looking into! They didn't have to. I mean, chronologically the Talmud wasn't written down until after Paul had died, so Paul knew the actual oral tradition of...

So is the Gospel of the Kingdom, Kingdom Gospel, Old Covenant, or New Covenant?

So then you agree that once you believe Paul's Gospel you no longer have a choice to not believe it?

If "in the beginning of the gospel", the Philippian church was already there, then it must have gotten there somehow.

So the church in the wilderness is what Paul is talking about in Philippians 4:15 when he says that, "no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only"? And actually, even the Philippian church had already existed "in the beginning of the gospel"? Who 'planted'...

Mark 1:15 " And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Philippians 4:5 "The Lord is at hand." v. 15 " Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with...

Well, the Dispies are going to say that there's no way you're going to hell, not if you believe the (right) Gospel. And Catholicism, agrees.

Who, you?

Of bullets.

Argument from silence.

But what can that mean, aside from that once you believe Paul's Gospel, then even if you want to not believe it anymore, you have no choice anymore. That just sounds like Calvinism's "I" which is 'irresistible grace'. It means you don't have a choice. It can't mean anything else. And it...

If someone says, if I steal from a neighbor, am I going to hell, what do you answer?

MacArthur was my favorite of those, I also liked Chuck Swindoll. J. Vernon McGee was a kick as well. But eventually I started to look to see the things they'd say that revealed their theology. MacArthur didn't do that, but he basically 'backed himself into' some sort of Dispensationalism, in...

That's part of it. You suppose or probably 'presuppose' who the audience is as you read. You're begging the question that you've correctly identified the audience, along with everything else, every little detail about the verse, whenever you set out what it means, because it's always what it...

Reminds me of John MacArthur. He did that, he went line-by-line, for decades, before he realized that his overall understanding of the Scripture was something he called 'leaky Dispensationalism', and he wound up taking Calvinism seriously. I don't know what he 'identifies as' today, but your...
