My Brother you are Completely wrong.

Salvation is a personal Matter..
The Salvation of your Father cannot Save you

The Salvation of your Pastor cannot Save You

The Salvation of your Twin Brother/Sister cannot Save you
I didn't say salvation of another person can save you. I'm in the opinion that we are saved by our faith and that faith is Christianity.
There is difference between saying one is saved because he was born into a Christian home from saying one is saved because another person(for example your parents) is saved.
Look, if you were born into a Christian home and groomed that way it will be very difficult for someone else to come and tell that Muhammed or Islam or any other religion is the way and you believe it.
That is how salvation was designed, it was designed to be very easy for us only that we have refused to see it that way that's why today Christians are working very hard, only for vain.
JESUS CHRIST is not a Religion HE is the way to Heaven. HE is the way to Eternal Life John 14:6
but he established a religion for the common salvation for all who believe in him yes or no?
JESUS CHRIST Paid the Price for The Whole World not for a Group or a Sect..
he paid the price for the whole world, that price is open to anyone who want to come and believe in the faith.
The price is open for the Muslims, it is open for atheists, for people practicing Hinduism, Judaism, and every religion in the world because Christianity is the only way because Jesus says I'm the way.
Do you understand what I'm driving at?
A Christian is One Who have Beloved and Accepted JESUS CHRIST
very true!
Not the person who can be like Christ as you put it earlier.
For Godsake no one can be like Christ, do you know the magnitude of standard Christ kept?
Christ never wanted anyone to be like him, all he wanted was people to believe in him and be saved.
A Christian is one who has Accepted JESUS
very true
and lives in the lifestyle of JESUS CHRIST..
very wrong.
which lifestyle you fit live where Muslims and atheists never live before, are you now telling me good Muslims and atheists are also saved because they also live lifestyle?
It is very Possible to Live the life of JESUS CHRIST. All u need is to ask for The Grace. It's not by Power or by skills or Intellect.. The Grace to live the Life is Given by JESUS CHRIST..
do you have any scripture for this?
Because what you are saying contradicts 1 John 1:8

Either you believe it or not witches do exist not only in Africa but all over the world,even in Europe.
people were never commot for Nigeria before na them dey talk like this
I was discussing this just yesterday with my wife a white European she also concurred they exist here but people are scared to discuss it or to bring up the topic.
and you think there are no whites who are ignorant too just like Africans among which your whitee wife may be among?
which school your whitee wife go, be sincere?
Note : there are several whites in the streets of London and new York walking as vagabonds infact you in Africa are better than them.
Search about the witch and witchcraft in Europe and you will be amazed they exist and still wrecking avoc in Europe and beyond.
they only exist in movies like Harry potter, that's all

Christianity EtcIf You Were Born Into A Christian Home You Are Saved Automatically by paxonel(op): 8:15am On Sep 08, 2019
Infact, to say you are saved is under-statement, the truth is you are already in heaven like this. So, let no one deceive you to think because you are committing sin therefore you are not saved.

[s]A Christian is one whose life displays the life and Person of JESUS CHRIST.[/s] Acts 11:19-26
First of all, know that no one can live the life or in anyway display the life of Christ, it's not possible.
John 1:8.

Therefore, anyone born into a Christian home is a Christian.
That person, by virtue of being born into a Christian home is saved and is qualified to eternal life because he was brought up by his parents to believe in Christ not in Mohammed.

John 3:16 ...whosever BELIEVES in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

In summary, salvation is your religion Christianity.

Michellekabod2:
So "fornication"may have meant something else thousands of years back and thus people should not call sex between two unmarried adults as fornication and a single since the word may have depicted something else.
mor0ns like Anas09,solite3,Nlorubebe can't fathom this...
the bible was translated from the original Greek manuscript to English language and other languages.
At times, there may be clash of word use for different language, those who study linguistics will understand that.
For instance, Areko means building in my local language and the same word is used interchangeably for tent or canopy.
Why?
Because both building and canopy serves as protection against rainfall and sunlight.
So, if the bible recorded that Jesus used tree in place of shrub, he is not out of place.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is Heaven Or God's Kingdom? by paxonel(op): 9:41am On Sep 01, 2019
flexybobo:
I get what you are saying.
So, at what point in time can we say we have been in God's kingdom?
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

The gate of the kingdom refers to the time of his resurrection, so the kingdom of God is a time factor

Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house is RISEN UP...
that means the gate of the kingdom the time of his resurrection( time factor). It follows that the time after his resurrection is the kingdom of God, and the time before his resurrection is outside the gate of the kingdom, which includes the era of the old testament.
Because, there were signs of the coming of Christ and the kingdom of God mentioned in Matthew 24
point of correction, the signs of his coming to die for mankind 2000 years ago as prophesied by Daniel, not the signs of him coming in the future or any rapture.
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

I tell you, not all nations in the world currently have the gospel of Christ preached
the world here is not referring to the whole world or the world of today.
It was referring to the world of that time 2000 years ago.
24:21 ]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

We have not seen the great tribulation yet, this will come after rapture.
the great tribulation happened then, it happened during the period Christ was still alive on earth, Daniel prophesied it.
Do you think it was easy abandoning everything and following Jesus through the wilderness to Jerusalem without food and water ?
It was a terrible thing.

24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Jesus described how he will come, and already you are saying we are already in Gods kingdom even when jesus has not yet come angry

I don't get it
have you seen verse 34 of that chapter 24?
It says

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

That concludes everything I'm trying to say to you.
That generation 2000 years ago did not pass until everything Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24 was fulfilled.
The great tribulation,
Him coming like a lightening (which invariably means him resurrecting)
Name it.

So, you see now that we are free but obviously we don't know.

the scripture says unless a man be born again, not just Nicodemus undecided
you don't get it cheesy

It's like someone saying in 2016 unless a student pass jamb he cannot enter university and it was written in a book that the person said so.
In 2018, the student passed jamb and in 2019, the student is already in the university.
The student now picks the book that was written in 2018 and saw that it was written that someone says unless a student pass jamb he cannot enter university and laugh grin

That is what has happened.

2018 was 2000 years ago when it was written in the bible that jesus made that statement to Nicodemus.
2019 is our current day, the book that we read about this thing is the bible, we have entered the university, we have entered the kingdom of God in 2019

So, the kingdom of God is all about time factor.

Think, you will understand.

Good one!
Those scriptures you quoted attest to what you are saying, but how can one reconcile what you are saying with John 3:3 which says
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” ?
I just ended a conversation with some ignorant folk on NL (no need to mention his moniker) grin

See, that statement by Jesus was strictly for Nicodemus and not for you who lives today.

LordReed:
That could be understood to mean it was wood taken from a tree.
in general terms, any wood taken from tree was seen as a tree in those days.
It wasn't like today where people are educated enough to distinguish between a wood from the actual tree.
So, when Jesus meant a mustard seed growing into a tree, he actually meant a plant whatever the size may be
Christianity EtcRe: Jesus Was Wrong, There Is No Mustard Tree by paxonel(m): 7:12am On Sep 01, 2019
LordReed:
Matthew 13
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Jesus said the mustard seed grows into a tree however there is no mustard specie that grows into a tree. Sure they can grow quite large,as much as 12feet in some cases but it still doesn't qualify it as a tree.
Do you realize that the cross on which Jesus was crucified was called tree in those days?

You fail to understand that word use has changed over time
Christianity EtcWhat Is Heaven Or God's Kingdom? by paxonel(op): 7:03am On Sep 01, 2019
This little piece is aimed at revealing the truth to believers.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

There is nothing so valuable as freedom which comes from the inside, it is that satisfaction you derive from knowing answers to all questions, it makes you relaxed grin

The truth is, The kingdom of God is right inside you. If you know what that means you will appreciate Christ .

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luke 20:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.


Now, many Christians if you ask them "Do you want to make heaven? " they will answer "I want to make heaven "
That is a very wrong question to ask in the first place.

Luke 17: 20 says heaven does not come with observation. That mean, heaven isn't like some kind of place you will go and observe, heaven is right inside you.
HEAVEN IS JESUS CHRIST IN YOU.

Now, what is the implication of that?
1. it means you are free!
2. it means you don't work anything to achieve heaven.
3. It means heaven is absolutely free like the air you breathe.
4. It means you can go about your day to day duty on this earth freely without the fear of making heaven or not.

Therefore, the question of i want to make heaven should not come into your mind.

Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

You have to be very bold, do not entertain fear, fear is of the devil.

"I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5)
what is bringing the issue of repentance here, is it not John 3:3 we are studying here?

I expected you to ask what was the story behind John 3:3, I will explain everything here, there is nothing hidden. grin

Look, I understand how it feels when you are moved to preach to someone to repent trust me, I have been there before, but you have to listen to what people have to say first before preaching, it will help you grin

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5).

If you are born once you will die twice and if you are born twice you will die once. Hence you must be born again. smiley
you are excluding the story out of it.
Remember John the Baptist baptized people with water, so one must be born of water .
Jesus baptized with the spirit, that was the story.

We don't take scriptures exclusively to make out doctrines, we take both the scripture and the story behind it together so that there will be balance grin

OLAADEGBU:
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).

Since you said your first birth into your family made you a Christian, you need to be born the second time to see the kingdom of God. smiley
it really do not follow that way!
Sometimes what i say seems technical and require thinking to understand, i always encourage people who are interested that they should read and understand the story behind this scripture John3:3, that is only way one can understand what Jesus was driving at when he said to Nicodemus "except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God "

In the story there were time frame one need to consider.
with that, you will know that John 3:3 was not some kind of a condition for Christians today to attend the kingdom of God, but rather, it referred to what must happen before anyone in those days can see the kingdom of God.

So, when i say i was born into a Christian home and that makes me a Christian, that did not happen 2000 years ago when Jesus came to this earth to die for the sins of mankind. I was born into a Christian home some few years ago, Christ paid the price for that since 2000 years ago.
