Am I Your Brother?
 

I believe Acts 2:38 is the only proper response to the Gospel.

Am I your brother?

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Isn't that what everyone on this site believes?

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

yes,

and so is a man I know (he belongs to a Missouri Synod Lutheran church) who believes aborted babies cannot go to heaven because they have not been baptized.

In my opinion, if a person has a personal relationship with Jesus, that person is my brother or sister whether we agree doctrinally on everything or not.

Again, to quote the Scriptures:

"If you believe that Jesus is the Christ --that he is God's Son and your Savior --then you are a child of God. And all who love the Father love his children too." (TLB)

"Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we'll surely love the child who was conceived." (The Message)

"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him." (KJV)

Well, it is, isn't it?

We just don't agree on when we are saved or when we are filled with the Spirit, or what the purpose of baptism is. But we all agree that Acts 2:38 is the only proper response to the gospel. Ask Dan. He will agree with you! :)

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

How many of us have been in the same situation Joseph was in?
In Genesis it says that he recognized his brothers but they didn't recognize him.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Certainly, but do I have to call you Bro. Pastor Poster?

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

I accept you as my brother, friend.

Now, Pastor Poster he is another....J/K. Yes, PP you are my brother.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Nope.

Just call me for dinner.


And lunch.



And breakfast.:bliss

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

I can do that. I am a chef afterall. My breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are some of the best.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

And PP may I ask, am I your brother?

I believe Acts 2:38.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Gee...I dunno...I'm pretty narrow-minded..........




YES!!!!!!

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Wasup mY Brother from another Mother???

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

I will accept (with some exceptions) most folks that have obeyed Acts 2:38 as brothers and sisters, if they are continuing to attempt to live a life pleasing to God. I do believe there are some here that have made themselves enemies of the apostolic faith, and who leaves me with a question mark in my mind as to their eternal destination.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Of course you are. We have the same Father.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Yes!

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

I certainly hope you don't expect to be our brother. I mean I may be pretty liberal in my thinking but that one would be hard to swallow.


I will consent to allowing you be our sister but don't even dare ask to be part of the brotherhood.


=)

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Could you clarify this statement some more. It seems very cloudy.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Or do you "really" mean a life pleasing to me and my convictions?

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Ah he he he ...:bliss :bliss :bliss

Am I yo sista?! :gaga

:toofunny

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Of course. One of the ironies of the conservative vs. lib, 3 stepper vs. 1 stepper positoins is that by the very nature of each ones belief they are neccessarily very different when it comes to inclusion.

1 steppers view of salvation is a broader one encompassing a much larger group of people in cluding 3 steppers such as yourself.

3 steppers doctrine excludes those who have not completed the 3 step salvation process for being saved and therefore a "brother".

Many progressive 3 steppers do adopt the attitude of being a witness and not a judge so they sometimes interact with other Chrisitans who have not completed the 3 steps and may even call them "brother" (even though they don't believe they are saved).

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Reading some of Pastor Poster's posts, the question might read better:

Are you my brother?

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Don't forget your Sistah from another Mistah! :girlnails

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

yo pp you my bro, dt

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

True! Every family has a black sheep! :toofunny

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

now aint that the truth, lol, dt

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

No, I "really" believe just what I said. I have friends that are one steppers that do not hold all the holiness standards that I call my Brother. To me, when someone is "born again", and attempts to live for God I accept them as in the family of God.

Please don't read into it more than is there.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

PP- Just check out the sig line. That should tell ya all ya need to know...Brother.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

The bible says to be of one mind. When Jesus said go and teach he did not send them out to teach something false.
How can a one stepper and a 3 stepper be of one mind???

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

And which is false, the one stepper or the three stepper? Please expound...

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

While I can look at one steppers that have obeyed Acts 2:38 as born again, I do not agree with where they place the New Birth at in the equation. But it does not negate their Spiritual birth. I think you are cutting this a little closer than it should be. Being a Brother, and being right in doctrine, is 2 different things. Otherwise most all of you are lost because you believe in a pre-trib rapture. :D








bTW- the last line was :tic

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

The belief that one is saved at repentance is false doctrine. I didn't say it God did!!!

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

I'm really tempted to ask exactly where in the Bible God says this, but... that would resurrect the old One Step/ Three Step debate. So. I won't ask. No. I will not ask where God said the belief that one is saved at repentance is false doctrine.

Re: Am I Your Brother?
 

To Pastor Poster

I AM YOUR BROTHER

YOUR BEST FRIEND FOREVER
