George Harris replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith
"Salvation is based on the forgiveness and mercy of God. If we believe then we will respond in faith. God has given each different abilities (measure of faith) but we are all one body and no one part is any better then the other. "

"You're the one who pulled the verse out of it's context of differing functions of the body of Christ. Are you suggesting Paul's explanation of "measure of faith" doesn't correspond well with your idea of it?"

Frank P. Spinella Jr. replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith
"Nope, doesn't help me.  Differing functions of different "members of the body" of Christ don't correspond well with measures of faith, nor answer the question of what measure of faith is the threshold for salvation."

George Harris replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion Measuring Faith
"If you continue reading Rom 12 then perhaps you may understand what Paul means by "measure of faith" because he explains.  "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:" Rom 12:4"

Rom. 12:3 urges Christians to sober self-estimates in accordance with the "measure of faith" given them.  The Greek here is μέτρον, or measure. Is faith given in different measures to different…Continue

Spirit Led VS Emotions

Many Christians quote, "don't be led by your emotions, be led by the spirit". How do you separate the two? Keep Galatians 5 in mind!

Pentecost has me thinking of Simon Peter’s proclamation that “God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.”  I wonder how the Jews who were converted that day understood his…Continue

Do You "Know" Jesus?

Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Maurice Edwards on Wednesday. 12 Replies

Inspired by my last discussion. We're called by the gospel to believe in and on the Lord Jesus. We're called "believers". But many Christians claim to "know" Jesus. Elaborate!
