[QUOTE="onearmedman, post: 2781614, member: 454"] Who Is in the Body of Christ? Q: According to you, what must a person do (or not do), say (or not say), believe (or not believe), confess (or not confess), etc, in order to be "in the body of Christ" today? I ask this, as it appears that you believe that you are "in the body of Christ", while most others are not. A: I will begin by saying that faith is a gift of God, and no one can believe anything unless God imparts the belief. Having said that, here is what those who have been chosen beforehand as members of the body of Christ, will be believing: 1. The death of Christ for their sins. 2. The resurrection of Christ. These points are taken from 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. That's it. While these seem simple at first glance, orthodox theology has made them complicated. The doctrine of Free Will destroys the truth that Christ died FOR OUR SINS, because Free Will claims we deliver ourselves from our sins by believing in Jesus. Subsequent to the cross, our default setting is still eternal torment, and it's UP TO US to believe. This is NOT saving faith. The teaching of the Trinity screws up the death of Christ. No one who believes in the Trinity believes Christ died. Why not? 1) The Trinity claims that Christ is absolutely God, 2) God can't die, therefore 3), Christ did not die. [/QUOTE]
