Right you are. I had to edit your question in order to respond... Rom 6:7, for one..."For he that is dead is freed from sin."

Nicely done. It makes me glad to be part of the un-Israelite world that later got grafted in. It makes me consider Eph 2:12-14..."That at that time, (verse 11's past), ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no...

No...what? Prove you have faith. A question. Amen. So the law and prophets don't hang on the love of God and neighbor in some dispensations? That sounds awful. Which work of the Law are you referring to? Imagine that? Saved before the day of judgement ! Nothing, as the light the converted...

I find English much easier to read, and thus to understand. Does your group teach that a reborn man can live without sinning?

Who is "our" ?

Your words reflect those of James.

I disagree, as Paul consistently refers to the works of the Law. "Hearing" and "believing" would be contrary to salvation, otherwise. As would repentance from sins and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins. If your POV were correct, why would Paul write Eph...

I don't consider commandments of the Lord's apostles as rabbit trails.

Especially in light of James 4:17..."Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." How can a man say he has faith but leave others without their needed items? Man can say he has faith 24/7, but without a manifestation of that faith, it is just dead words.

Yeah, I read it. Baptiso (baptize) can have lots of usages, But in the context of "in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins", it is a full immersion. (Acts 2:38)

What is written is not hard to interpret. Amen to tht. The works of the Law cannot save a man. The actions of faith can though. Hear, believe, obey. Why would you? I would that your "boasted" of what God accomplishes for the obedeint by their obedience. I understand your POV, and am seeking...

Yes The word "but" steers this in anothr direction. Had you written...AND is basicfally a ceremonial washing, yes?" My response is...the is nothing ceremonial about it. Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins is the answer to a commandment of the Jesus, and of...

Your source is in error. "Baptize" means "immerse, or, fully whelm". Sprinkling is not a baptism.

As a Gentile convert, I am glad I don't need to seek out priests to do what the Lord has equipt us to do ourselves.

If you have a reason to call the priest's washing a baptism...feel free. But I see no indication of "immersion" in Ex 40 or Lev 8. No, he asks God to wash him, but as God doesn't baptize, your point is misdirected. I see no "immersion". But if you see a presage of water baptism in the name of...

Yes, Exod 19:6. I suppose God meant "holy, sanctified people" when He said priests. Otherwise the Levites would have been unnecessary from the start. I am glad we can be holy, sanctified people now ! He did send the part of the nation that believed "unto the world". I don't know why you are...

Paul. From what I have seen of other versions of the KJV of the bible, the KJV is the only one that is willing to use the word "perfect", where others substitute a word that accommodates sin.

He might have just forgotten to turn off the iron....

Do you have any documentation of that? I guess we'll see. The last day on this earth will be the last day of this earth. It can easily be said that those days have already commenced. We just await its physical manifestation. It is already happening in the hearts of the reborn. He rules ...

Seeing unity in scriptures is the opposite of division. Though that is true, don't you think that with the realization that their promised Messaih was amongst them would have resulted in a mind also changed regarding sin? What I "wished to see" was freedom from a dozen addictions. And...
