James vs. Paul
I've been having a heated discussion with a fellow church member about the differences between James and Paul. How James was under a different dispensation than Paul, my friend can't buy that. I was wondering what scriptures I could show him that would back up my argument? I tried to explain how James was a legalist, that his teaching was faith plus works for salvation, and Paul's teaching is Faith. Can you help?
God's Demand of Righteousness
Do you know of any passages in the bible which state that God demands righteousness from all people or does the Bible make a distinction between righteousness required by the world at large and that required by God's children?
Gifts of the Spirit - Are They for Today?
Benny Hinn, John Hagee, Rod Parsley and many others from TBN practice healing and speaking in tongues along with other things. Is this scriptural?
Dispensational Distinctions
What are some of the common characteristics and distinctions of salvation throughout the ages? Is there a connection between the new covenant and the new birth?
Christians And The Tribulation
Will there be born again Christians who will go through the tribulation or will they be raptured before it starts?
Believers and the Tribulation
Present believers will not go through any part of the 70th week (also known as the seven-year tribulation) and we will not know the antichrist before the rapture. I base this on three simple principles (instead of endless arguments over lengthy passages).
Baptism for Salvation
Can I get scriptures that support baptism as part of salvation besides Mark 16:16?
Alexander, Hymenaeus, Jannes, Jambres and Philetus
The scripture speaks negatively of each of these individuals. Some were delivered unto Satan and of others it is said they erred concerning the faith. What happened to each one and why were they dealt with the way they were?
Culture and the Bible
In Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary, there is no meaning of the word culture as it can be used at times today. The 1828 meaning basically defines it as any labor for improvement or growth. When did this word change its meaning?
"Pastor" Scriptural in the New Testament?
Why is it that Timothy and Titus are called pastoral epistles seeing that the only church authority and responsibility that Paul discusses are the eldership positions of the Bishop and Deacon?
