Hi!
This is the blog of two God crazy girls: Marci and Bethany. We hope to share our life, Bible verses, and why we believe the way that we do. We believe that there is only ONE God, that he created the entire world in only 6 literal days, he sent his only son to earth as man to die for our sins and save us from eternal death and separation from Him. We believe that the Bible is true—all the way through, cover to cover. Comments from us, as the owners of this blog, will come under the name of "Marci Asi" so we will sign our names at the end of our comment. Bethany already has a blog that you are welcome to visit. She would love you to read her blog and comment. The blog address is: bethanyr4Him.blogspot.com
The title is "A Great God and Good Cocoa". We will not be posting super regularly but we hope that you will enjoy reading and learning about God, the Bible, and our lives as two God crazy girls!
Woohoo! This will be fun Marci! I can't wait to get rolling!
ReplyDeleteCAN PURPOSE OF FAITH DENIERS BE SAVED? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to have faith in Jesus but deny the purpose of faith and still be saved?
John 8:22-24.....24 'Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
Jesus told certain Jews that unless they believed that He was the Son of God that they would die in their sins. The question remains, if the Jews said "We believe you are the Son of God, however, that is not essential to the forgiveness of sins;" would their sins still be forgiven? CAN YOU DENY THE PURPOSE OF FAITH AND STILL HAVE YOUR SINS FORGIVEN?
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall perish, but have eternal life.
Is it reasonable to assume that men can say, "We believe that Jesus is God's Son and the Savior of the world, however, that has nothing to do with us receiving eternal life," and that they will still be saved? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF FAITH AND STILL RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE?
Acts 16:29-31 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and said "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
If the Jailer had told Paul and Silas that he would believe as an act of obedience and a testimony of his faith, but that believing had nothing to do with his salvation; would the jailer have been saved? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF BELIEVING IN THE LORD JESUS AND STILL BE SAVED?
CAN THE PURPOSE OF WATER BAPTISM DENIERS BE SAVED?
Is logical to assume you can be baptized in water, but deny its purpose and still be saved?
Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
What are the probabilities that if the three thousand on the Day of Pentecost had told Peter, "We will be baptized, however, it is not in order to have our sins forgiven," would their sins still be forgiven? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF WATER BAPTISM AND STILL HAVE THEIR SINS FORGIVEN.
Acts 22:12-16....16 Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name!
What if Saul had told Ananias, "I had my sins washed away on the road to Damascus, but I will be baptized as an act of obedience and as a testimony of my faith," would Saul's sins have been washed away? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF WATER BAPTISM AND STILL HAVE THEIR SINS FORGIVEN?
Ephesians 5:25-27... just as Christ loved the church gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
What if men were to say that Christ washed the church with water, however, it had nothing to do with, sanctifying her, cleansing her, making her spotless, or rendering her holy and blameless? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF WATER BAPTISM AND STILL RECEIVED ITS BENEFITS?
1 Peter 3:20-21 ....safely through the water. 21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you....
Is it plausible for men to proclaim that they were baptized in water, but it played no part in their salvation?Can they still be saved? CAN MEN DENY THE PURPOSE OF WATER BAPTISM AND STILL BE SAVED?
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MEN TO DENY THE PURPOSE OF FAITH AND WATER BAPTISM AND STILL BE SAVED?
Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved..... CAN YOU DENY THAT AND STILL BE SAVED?????
