Like others here, I've noticed that you are always speaking in INCOMPLETE sentences.
WHAT did Paul believe?
What do you think? What do you think Paul believed? Paul believed what JESUS SAYS.
You never listen to Paul when he explains the order of things:
Eph 1:12-14 (AKJV/PCE)
(1:12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. (1:13) In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (1:14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Paul does NOT put obedience BETWEEN the believing of the gospel and sealing with the Holy Spirit!
Are you kidding? The gospel MESSAGE IS ABOUT REPENTING OF SINS.
YEAH! That is right, gospel of salvation. Gospel of SALVATION is to repent of your sins. What sins? The sins Jesus died for and will wash away once you repent of them!It real easy:
• TRUSTED AFTER you HEARD the GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION
Dead in sins means we did not have to get circumcised before Jesus would save us.Notice that Paul CLEARLY shows us that God "quickened us together with Christ" WHEN we were dead in sins. THIS salvation is BY GRACE through FAITH. But YOU keep trying to make it YOUR obedience that makes it happen.
The Gentiles were dead in their UNCIRCUMCISED flesh.
Colossians 2:13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
Once AGAIN, some SCRIPTURAL proof we be WONDERFUL.
God gave Paul work to do, but the Bible NEVER tells us that this in order to be saved.
He prayed and then heard and agreed to a message which we see completed in his water baptism.
Just think about this, Jesus tells Paul he will tell him what to do.
You want to argue that Jesus did not tell Paul to do anything. You are wrong .
Acts 9:6 but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do."…
Did you read that?
Jesus says and it will be told you WHAT YOU MUST DO.
