I think you are trying to say that there is no verse specifically saying that. But that’s just semantics just as the word rapture isn’t stated. The word dinosaur is not found in the Bible either. The fact the words “I ask you to come into my heart” isn’t verbally stated doesn’t mean it doesn’t count, as it can represent the exact meaning as having faith, or believing in and of itself. You’re being a little like @Integrity by not just saying what your point is.
At what point does an unsaved person become a saved person?

That was my point. He is exactly like @Integrity Just the opposite way. He has no grace he has no mercy. He has no love. A bitter old fool, living with his Bible, pretending he has all the answers and only he is going to heaven.

He does use the same tactics as Integrity. I will go along as long as it feels useful, but after that I guess I just have to move on. It’s ok if you think I’m a fool, but just don’t beat around the bush

Sadly, biblical discussion with him is not edifying. It’s demeaning because that’s what he wants.

No way.
Discussion of scripture brings out the best in some but as you can see, the worst when it's not what they want to hear.
I welcome any criticism even if doesn’t change my mind. I may have to revisit these conversations in real life and I’d like to at least have knowledge to back up my side

I agree 100% the issue becomes when someone is so belligerent that they call you ignorant or not a Christian because you don’t agree with them on 100% of their doctrine.

As long as he makes me think and go to the scriptures then I still find it productive. It’s extremely useful when debating nonbelievers (atheists, agnostics, etc) which, to me holds a higher standard for me to be on my toes

Nothing wrong with that either. Although debating End times eschatology Wouldn’t be a great place to start with new believers.

I’m not going in this circle again. I’ve responded the best I know how. If you feel I’ve totally missed the point, just tell me where I’m wrong
I had a guy show me this once. I liked it.
You quoted Mark 16:16
"He that believes and is baptized shall be saved.
1 + 2 = 3
1 + 0 = 1 Faith only doesn't equal salvation
0 + 2 = 2 Infant baptism or baptism without faith dos not work
0 + 0 = 0 Atheism doesn't work

In what way have I resembled @BrownFlush when I have related to you.?

Please point out the error of my ways.

Have I put you down ever for what you believe?
