I read a book that said if you want to become a Christian (saved), you must also be ready to count the cost, such as: dying to yourself, taking up your cross, following Jesus, even if it leads you to death. Do you really need to be ready to do all that before you come to Christ?
There seem to be a difference in the names of the twelve disciples found in Mark 3:16-19 and Luke 6:13-16. The only solution for this contradiction is to ASSUME that Thaddaeus is Judas. Do you have any proof of this?
If Adam sinned and fell, why should I need salvation? How can the sin of Adam affect me? What does the Psalmist refer to when he says my mother conceived me in sin? Please explain the concept of natural sin clearly.
What does Acts 2:38 mean?
In Acts 26 verse 28 Agrippa tells Paul, Thou almost persuadest me to be a Christian-this seems to be the King James version of the Bible. However in the New International Version, which seems to be very popular and regarded a more accurate version of the Bible, it states in that same verse, "you didn't think you could change my mind in such a short time."
