You're killing me. He's talking to saved people - "to the church of....." Look it up.

Again, gotta run! We will never agree on this.

I know, 'cause you'll never be right as long as you believe what you do!!


And the "He was talking to saved people" argument is SO ridiculous. He was talking to people that took communion but he told them how. He was talking to people that gave, but he told them how to give. He was talking to people that had the gifts of the Spirit, but he told them how they were to be used.

But suddenly, "Oh he was talking to saved people, so he didn't tell them how to be saved."

Worst argument in exegetical history.

A big emphasis was put on the "Gospels, Acts, and Epistles" lesson in our doctrine class at ABI. That was covered several times.

Interesting. Was it said at ABI, "Acts tells you how to get saved and the rest of the NT tells you how to stay saved"?

Why would a primary salvation doctrine be recorded in a history book and not in the doctrinal books??

It's not "suddenly", take the time to read the first few verses of each epistle and ask yourself who is being written to.
He was teaching the church of God, those who were already considered the "brethern" how to mature in their faith.
