Ok, if we agree now upon the fact that we can be displeasing to God by
what we might say, think or do, then would not the converse also be
true?
Do you each agree that we can please God by what we say, think or do?
Bill, Lance, Jonathan, Sherrie? Comments please.

Here is what Thayer says: "pistis is rather the form in which the truth (as the substance of right doctrine) is subjectively appropriated." I put it this way -- "the faith" (Rom 14:1, Eph 4:13, I Tim 3:9 and 4:1) is a body of teaching that is the truth. That body of "truth" is not as

Bill,
When the Ethiopian eunuch desired baptism, Philip said he could if he
believed with all his heart. Why do you think Philip insisted on faith
in order for him to be baptized? Was this a wise thing on Philip's
part, or was he mistaken?
Peace be with you.

Certainly I do think it was appropriate and wise for Phillip to say this to
