Some
Say: |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Attendance |
Heb
10:25 (paraphrased) "don't forsake assembling together"
. |
|
Attending
worship assemblies is not important. |
| |
Baptism |
Mark
16:16 "Anyone who believes and is baptized will be
saved..."
. |
|
Believe,
yes;
but baptism no. |
| |
|
Acts
2:38 "...repent and be baptized... for the remission
of sins…"
. |
|
Repentance
yes;
but, baptism no |
| |
|
Acts
8:38-39 "So he (the Etheopian) commanded the chariot
to stand still, and both Philip and the eunuch went down
into the water and he baptized him...."
. |
|
Baptism
does not require immersion in water. |
| |
|
Colossians
2:12 "Buried with him in baptism…"
. |
|
Baptism
does not require a "burial". |
| |
|
Galatians
3:27 "many of you as have been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ"
. |
|
Baptism
is not required to "put on" Christ. |
| |
Creation |
Gen.
1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth."
. |
|
God
did not create the world – it only evolved. |
| |
Divorce |
Matthew
5:32 "…whoever divorces his wife for any reason
except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery..."
. |
|
Divorce
for a reason other than adultery is not a sin. |
| |
God's
Word Applies |
1
Peter 1:23 "...the word of God, which lives and abides
for ever."
. |
|
Times
have changed, it does not apply today. |
| |
Hell |
Matthew
25:46 "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment;
but the righteous into life eternal."
. |
|
God
and Jesus love everyone. No one will suffer everlasting
punishment. |
| |
|
Matthew
7:14 "...difficult is the way which leads to life and...few
who find it."
. |
|
Everyone
will be saved |
| |
|
Galatians
5:4 "...you who attempt to be justified by law;
you have fallen from grace."
. |
|
Once
I am saved I am always saved - I can’t fall from grace
and be lost in hell. |
| |
|
Rev.
20:13-15 – "...And anyone whose name was not
found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake
of fire..."
.
|
|
Everyone
will be saved. |
| |
Homosexual |
1
Corinthians 6:9-10 "Do you not know...neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, ...will
inherit the kingdom of God."
. |
|
Homosexuals
will be welcomed in heaven. |
| |
Kingdom |
Matt.
16:28 Jesus said, "... there are some standing here
who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming
in His Kingdom."
. |
|
The
Kingdom has not been established. |
| |
Obedience |
John
14:15 Jesus said, "If you love Me keep My commandments."
. |
|
Christ
does not demand keeping commandments. |
| |
One
Church |
Matthew 16:18 "And I say also unto thee, that thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
. |
|
Join
the church of your choice. One church is just as good as
another. |
| |
Singing |
Ephesians
5:19 "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord."
. |
|
OK,
but let us play on our instruments, too. |
| |
Tongues |
1
Cor. 14:27 "...If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there
be two or at the most three each in turn, and let one interpret;
if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent..."
. |
|
I believe in speaking in "tongues." Tongues do
not need to be interpreted. |
| |
Works |
Matt.
7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord,
Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven,...Many will
say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many
wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare
to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me,"
. |
|
ANY
work that I do (for the Lord) is OK. |
| |
|
John
6:29 "...This is the work of God, that ye believe on
him...."
. |
.... |
Belief
cannot be defined as a "work". |
