Baptism is a tremendous blessing. In baptism our sins are washed away and our conscience is cleansed. Why do so many put it off for so long?
Who is the Holy Spirit? Why does Romans refer to the Spirit of Christ? Is there a connection? In this post I explore what Paul meant by the term “Spirit of Christ.”
Many believers cling to a doctrine which claims that accepting Jesus Christ as one’s personal lord and savior is the only prerequisite for salvation. Most turn to Romans 10:9 as a way to justify this idea.
1 John 5:16-17
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
