In Order To Maintain Their Salvation

I heard on the radio that “the church had to always deal with heresy.” I would agree. The question then becomes; how do we face heresy today? For example, if someone were to say that baptizing a newly born Human saves them. Would you say “heresy,” or sound doctrine? The first thing one would have to do, is search the Scriptures. Is there any evidence in the Scriptures where the act of baptizing a baby allowed them to be saved. The alternative being, would it require man’s understanding of the Scriptures to make it so? I would say there is a contradiction between “baptizing a newly born Human saves them” and the Anthanasian Creed’s false method of salvation. The Anthanasian Creed declares unless one believes “the Son is God” one cannot be saved. A newly born Human can’t believe that yet. You can’t teach both of these as true. If baptism saved the “newly born Human,” not knowing anything about “the Son is God,” then how do you reconcile these two teachings? The only explanation would be that “the newly born Human” would then have to go onto to believe the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God” in order to maintain their salvation. Therefore, I would say, heresy. There’s no actual evidence of either of them being so in the Scriptures. God bless. In His Care… Jim

What Others Said About Jesus

One of the things that happen when you support the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God,” is you move further away from the biblical account of who Jesus is. When first choosing to accept “the Son is God” as true, instead of trusting the source preaching it, this should’ve given you reason enough to search the Scriptures for yourself. The most important thing is to be found on the right side of Jesus’s teachings. It’s no secret that those believing “the Son is God” today, twist the biblical account of who Jesus is. They’d be better off sticking to what others said about Jesus in the Bible. Just as there’s no actual evidence of Jesus claiming to be God in the Bible, there’s plenty of those in the Bible questioning that He claimed to be the Son of God. You can’t teach “the Son is God” properly, without having it superseding everything Jesus accomplished in the first century as laid out for us in the Bible. God bless. In His Care… Jim

Till He Comes

For I received from the Lord that which I also deliver to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV) Apostle Paul didn’t make this up, nor did he receive it from the Apostle Peter, Ananias (Acts 9:10-17) or Alexander the coppersmith (2 Timothy 4:14). “For I received from the Lord that which I also deliver to you.” Just as my salvation has nothing to do with man’s understanding of the Scriptures, neither does my personal relationship with Jesus. When I proclaim “the Lord’s death till He comes,” as I “eat this bread and drink this cup,” I’m thankful for not only my sins being forgiven, but for Jesus taking them to the cross for me. God bless.

The Power To Save You

There’s no place here on earth for you to go to find a person who has the power to save you. Salvation is not based on your ability, nor on man’s understanding of the Scriptures, but rather on you choosing to believe in Christ Jesus as laid out for us in the Scriptures. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (NKJV) That name, is Jesus. God bless. In His Care… Jim

If Not For Jesus

Can we be certain of the longevity of Jesus’s teachings? Yes, and one single verse of Scripture can easily prove it to be so. In Matthew 24:35 (NKJV) Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” We need to take the biblical account of who Jesus is seriously. Biblically speaking there’s no good reason to explore worldly views. When you know what the Bible teaches about Jesus, you’ll know He’s leading us in the right direction. I trust the Bible wholeheartedly, but I can’t attach my name to anything recorded in it. I give thanks to God for all of it. I don’t want to imagine where I’d be today, if not for Jesus. God bless.

The Jesus Of The Bible

Everything Jesus accomplished in the first century as laid out for us in the Bible would be for not, if He’s found contradicting Himself elsewhere in it. The mere thought of Jesus contradicting Himself in the Bible terrifies me. For Him to say something truthful about His God and Father (John 20:17), only then to say something false about Him, that’s not the Jesus of the Bible. God bless. In His Care… Jim
