And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Do you all believe this??
Okay. I take it that baptism is one of what you call a 'sacrament'?

I still do not know where the word 'sacrament' comes from.

Naturally I believe the scripture that you posted. I believe all of the word of God.

Infant baptism is NEVER mentioned in the bible. In fact the bible tells them to teach peoples of all nations so that they can come to an accurate knowledge and CHOOSE to get baptised.
Therefore the need for confimation is null and void. Just teach the child and wait for the child to be mature enough to make that decision for themself.

Well your idea of the hereafter and mine probably differ doctrinally. However....

Romans 6:23 says that death is the wages sin pays.

I have to keep it simple because I don't know a lot of fancy terms. I didn't even know there were 8 groups.
And it is just that simple, even a child can understand how to be saved. Acts 16:31 says believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.

First of all, I I will hurt anyone, I Ask the Almighty God to forgive my[quote=West.;5123456]This is a question, and I Will Try to answer it, and I want to start a discussion about it with you guys and everyone.


Quote:yhwhshalomjr
I want to get to the point like another post stated;
The ones who are obedient to God's Holy Word (oracles)
Ones who repents
Ones who forgive
Ones who love
Ones who do not let the word depart from our mouth
All of the above
Matthew 7
<< Book < Chapter Chapter > Book >>
0.
The Narrow and Wide Gates13."Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14.But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
0.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15."Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16.By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17.Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18.A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.20.Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22.Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23.Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

My $.02 cents worth
God Bless You

There aren't degrees of sin or sinners. A person is either in fellowship or out of fellowship. A person is either a believer or an unbeliever. To become a believer in fellowship.....................
I would simply say "Jesus, I'm a sinner. I need you to forgive me and save me. I want to make you the Lord of my life." or any personal variation.
