I dont know. I dont get it.

instead of finding a way to comply, they are always trying to find a way to be right, without living with the rules!

I guess that's what leads them to have a misplaced understanding that there is no difference between Grace and Mercy...

No, and that is a very broad statement. Baptism in Jesus name should be done, but there is the thing called grace, something I have seen the religious folks constantly run from. We are not saved at baptism, and those who say so are simply wrong.

Rules? C'mon! We are not saved by rules, not by works, and not by baptism. We are saved by grace through faith!

Why is it that Ephesians 2:8-9 is never preached on and never spoken in the so-called three step assemblies?

Such baptism is un-biblical, and was not practiced by the early church.

To be baptized into the [singular] name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matt 28:19), was to be baptized into the name of Jesus. Plain and simple.

The Apostles understood this perfectly, and taught it from the very beginning.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Grace was given at calvary. I hope you understand there's also instruction and punishment within the bible!


Let me ask you something Bro. Price. You said after your father's passing God gave you a revelation of the truth. Basically, you stated God showed you baptism is optional under certain conditions?

Didn't God love you enough before your father's passing to give you this revelation?


What a coincidence, don't you think?

LOL!

Thou shalt not commit adultry (God)

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (John)

Follow my example as I follow Christ...and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. (Paul)

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth (Peter)

How many times have we all heard some one pray? "LORD let us take what we've heard here today put them into practice. Lord, let us be grateful, and let us do the right things. Let us provide for our families, and be good to our spouses.....". I always find it a bit comical to hear someone pray for God to let us do those things that He has already told us to do.

Worse than that is "Lord bless us with your presence today" or "Come be with us today".............He was there before you walked through the doors!
