Have been, am being, will be
Hi,
I am new to this forum. How would Baptists understand Paul's references to salvation in the past, present, and future tense? If the focus is primarily on the past tense, what importance is the present and future to salvation? -

Robert Dick Wilson on the Pentateuch
Robert Dick Wilson on the Pentateuch, from his book A Scientific Investigation of the Old Testament, page 11:
“...the conservative position is, in general, that the Canon of the books of the Old Testament was completed in the fifth century B. C., before the succession of the prophets ceased. As to the particular portions of the Old Testament, their view is :
“1. That the Pentateuch as it stands is historical and from the time of Moses; and that Moses was its real author, though it may have... -
I have a dumb question....
I'm not questioning this, I just want some clarity on it.
How do we KNOW that Jesus quoted the Septuagint if we are reading in English, the Septuagint is in Greek, and the autographs are in Hebrew/Aramaic. -
1 Samuel 28: Was the witch of Endor really able to summon spirits.....?
The witch seemed surprised and terrified that Samuel actually came.
Reminds me of the movie “Ghost”, where the medium (obviously a scam artist) is terrified when she made “contact”.
Do you believe she was able to summon spirits, or was this a one time event allowed by God for Saul?
Does this have any bearing on our understanding of heaven or state of our spirits after death? -
Did Pharaoh's Magicians Really Change Their Rods into Real Serpents?
Exodus 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Do you believe that Pharaoh's magicians were actually able to change their rods into real serpents or do you think that there was some kind of deception in what they did? -
Are Human Beings Born Sinners?
I am not altogether clear on this subject, as there are clearly verses that say that we are from the womb, at least “sinful”, that is, our human natures are corrupt. And, then there are other verses, especially that in Romans 9:11, that says that babies in the womb are not “sinners”?
Deuteronomy 1:39
And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall... -
Another Chance for a Blessing
Our Messiah (John 1:41), and Lord, Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:12),
was born, raised, lived His earthly life, and rose as a Jew:
Genesis 49:10
Luke 1:32, 2:22-40
John 1:11, 4:9, 18:35
Acts 2:30
Romans 1:3
2 Timothy 2:8.
He had a Jewish mother:
"Mary’s genealogy is supplied in Luke 3:23-38. Dr. Henry Morris explains how we know this genealogy is Mary’s:
“Joseph was clearly the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16, so this verse [Luke 3:23—says “son of Heli”] should be understood to mean... -
Fundamentalist Baptist John Roach Straton
John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in New York City, was a fierce fundamentalist Baptist leader of the first quarter of the 20th century. I was quite surprised by this bit of his history of which I knew nothing.
The Unlikely Argument of a Baptist Fundamentalist: John Roach Straton’s Defense of Women in the Pulpit.
John Roach Straton and Uldine Utley made an unlikely pair as they waited for the revival meeting to begin at Madison Square Garden on October 31, 1926.
