My "ultimatum"? What are you talking about? And, it isn't a nickname.
Screen name or nick name; it is the same as the name you go by in here.
What?
You spoke to me privately even though I told you faith alone it dead.
you also said so in other threads in the forum.
I told you that is a Lutheran and Calvin teaching.
Calvin believed it was okay to execute heretics while Luther did not reform from every dead works of Catholicism either. One can point out hypocrisy if that is what they really teach.
Many denominations use that false doctrine.
Name one. Then we can go and check it out.
That is where it comes from, and it doesn't come from the Bible because Jesus himself, and Peter and James rebukes it and warns us about it.
Well unless you believe water baptism is for the remission of sins as some people do in regards to Acts 2:38 whereas for the Gentiles it is plainly written that believing in Him is how we receive the remission of sins in Acts 10:43-44, and no matter how much I keep showing Acts 10:43-44, they don't see it because Acts 2:38 in how they apply it to mean everywhere as if there are no scripture refuting water baptism as necessary for salvation when 1 Corinthians 1:17-21 does.
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
1 Corinthians 1
:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Just as you apply "repent" to mean in Acts 2:38 to repent from all sins rather than from repenting from unbelief to get that remission of sins & the gift of the Holy Ghost.
What were the Jews pricked in their hearts for? For crucifying Jesus in unbelief. We see no long list of sins telling them what sins they needed to repent of first but that they had crucified Jesus in unbelief. So to repent from unbelief is to believe in Him just as it pleased God to save those that believe in Him.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Then His disciples are to teach new believers everything He has taught them in running that race, living a life of repentance daily in following Him as His disciples.
What are you talking about?
You mentioned Luther & Calvin in the post I am replying to now but I really do not see them in that category.
I don't bite and devour. God's Truth is not my nickname, it is my screen name because it is all I ever wanted and what I believe I teach. You switched and twisted and falsely accused.
Nickname or screen name is the same thing for what members used as an alias while posting in here, but it can serve as an identity for which pride can settle in. There is no way you can deny that it could not happen. That is between you & God now and I am done with provoking you in Christ's love to reconsider how you use that term God's Truth as if you can do no wrong.
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Then are you admitting that you do not believe you have God's Truth and are not teaching it? Tell us all what you have learned since being on this site, and tell us all what your mistakes are. You need to lead by example and tell us. I can hardly wait to hear what you say.
When you start off like that, why should I give you ammo for dumping on me some more?
You obviously didn't mean your apology.
That is between you & God and if you are not pricked in your hearts, then so be it.
Are you? You know you are not, because I have given you many scriptures that say to obey and that faith alone is dead. You won't let your false teachings go for God's Truth.
Because in spite of John 3:16 & John 6:39-40 & Ephesians 2:8-9 & Romans 3:26-28 & Romans 4:1-5 & many other scriptures, you null and void them as if they cannot mean what they say for in favor of your references & misapplication of scriptures whereas I had addressed James as referring only to faith in God's providence requiring works but you apply that to all kins of faith towards God including faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, but it can't when that faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is without works. But you do not see that nor how you are denying Him as willing ad able to save those that believe in Him because sinners has to repent from all sins first before they get saved and to me that is putting the cart before the horse.
We know that it is you who can't believe you are wrong and it would shatter you.
Per your belief, the emphasis is on you to repent from all sins for salvation. My faith is in Jesus Christ by believing in Him is how and why He saved me but for following Him, He wants me to trust Him as my Good Shepherd & Friend now that He is in me, and with me always, that He will destroy the works of the devil in my life and keep me from my sins as I look to Him daily to help me lay aside every weight & sin in walking in the light in fellowship with the Father & the Son as my confidence is in Him to finish His work in me to His glory for why He shall be receiving me as a vessel unto honor in His House and why I would be giving Him all the credit & glory for in Heaven.
Nothing for me to boast about in regards to myself except in the Lord. Can you say the same? Or do you not also give Jesus Christ the full credit for delivering you from your sins & keeping you from your sins also?
