RE: What Happens When People Get Saved?
This is a basic difference of understanding. The one that has been the crux of the division between Catholics/Protestants and Baptists ever since Jesus founded the church. The Catholic/Protestant sees all Christians as belonging to a universal church. The Catholic sees it as one universal church on earth. The Protestant sees it as one universal, invisible church. Baptists contend that the Bible only expresses one sort of church, a local body of believers called out of this world, baptized by immersion into that local assembly and joined together in the common purpose of fulfilling the great commission.
Thanks for your comments.
I agree with your comment here. I would say the sole reason for this division is that we are trying to insert another "Bride" instead of being "grafted into" the existing one. Israel was an unfaithful spouse, but is to be redeemed towards the end, according to the Bible. There should be no other "church" or "ecclesia" outside of the Bride.
Now when I say "grafted in" as does the bible, I by no means mean that we should "become" Jewish, or follow Rabbinic Judaism or the Babylonian Talmud.
I have addressed much of this already.
I was unaware of this video. The Bible states the Sabbath as being forever, even to be observed during the 1000 year reign. The Apostles still observed the Sabbath. I have yet to see anything that says the Sabbath was abolished or replaced, other than doctrine and edicts that originated with the Catholic Church.
Lucifer of course would have an interest in getting us to break as many commandments as possible. If sin is defined in the Bible as the transgression of the Law, but the Law is done away with, how do we define sin? Would not the Man of Sin try to trick us into NOT following the Law, and thus leading us to sin?
I don't proscribe to Messianic Judaism either, although admittedly, I haven't looked into this movement or doctrine.
