885 | Advice on how it should not be practiced | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 173571 | ||
Hi Bliss and welcome to the Forum! Well said, and I couldn't agree with you more. 1. There is absolutlely no scriptural basis for this practice. None. 2. What is being conveyed, is that experience trumps scripture. Experience is not truth. We do not valid truth by our experience, we validate it by the Word of God (John 17:17). Otherwise, scripture becomes meaningless! John F. MacArthur has stated that, "Our faith is a mind faith. At its core is Jesus Christ, not our emotions. Yes, I get emotional meditating on the goodness of God and hearing His word, but for many charismatics that emotion comes from jumping up and down on Sunday to some heart throbbing music. Is this what disciples are supposed to do? What doth the Bible say? What was Jesus doing while here? Preaching and teaching the kingdom of God, and doing good works. What was Paul doing? Preaching and teaching and encouraging from prison. What was Timothy, Silas, Barnabas doing? Going on missionary trips preaching the gospel to a lost world. What about many charismatic preachers? Falling down in the pulpit, laughing their heads off, slaying in the spirit (knocking people out with a touch), prophesying about church buildings, and speaking in tongues while nobody knows what they are saying."

886 | Born in sin or into a sinful nature? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 173570 | ||
Hi Bliss, I'm in general agreement with your statement:-) Psalm 51:5 tells us, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." Spurgeons' Puritan Catechism in questions, 15, 16 and 17 say this: 15. Q. Did all mankind fall in Adam’s first transgression? A. The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself but for his posterity, all mankind descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him in his first transgression. (1 Corinthians 15:22; Romans 5:12) 16. Q. Into what estate did the fall bring mankind? A. The fall brought mankind into a state of sin and misery. (Romans 5:18) 17. Q. Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state whereunto man fell? A. The sinfulness of that state whereunto man fell, consists in the guilt of Adam’s first sin, (Romans 5:19) the want of original righteousness, (Romans 3:10) and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, (Ephesians 2:1; Psalm 51:5) together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it. (Matthew 15:19) Obviously, much more could be added:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear firstlady..., You are responding to a 5-plus year old post, so it is unlikely that you'll receive a reply from them! Feel free to use the"Search" archives on the SBF if you'd like to follow more discussion on this matter:-) You can also post your response- supported with scripture- if you'd like to dialog, i.e. study this topic in more detail.

889 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | Acts 2:38 | BradK | 173215 | ||
Doc, Good point my freind on the simplicity of the Gospel. Another thought from Romans may be pertinent. Why would Paul clearly detail the "gospel" in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 and yet neglect mentioning water baptism- if it were in fact essential to one's salvation?! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

890 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | Acts 2:38 | BradK | 173208 | ||
Dear kosheiman, Unless you fail to understand the Book of Romans- the theology of the NT- the conclusion you reach would be valid. Nowhere does Paul teach that salvation is by any means other than faith (Rom. 4:3, Gal.2:16, Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:7). My reading and understanding of Eph. 2:8 shows it is through (dia) faith! I'm missing the definite article. Why does Paul commend those in Heb. 11 for their faith instead of being water baptized? As you'll note Noah was in the the Ark- dry! Those who were "really" baptized and got wet, drowned! The context of 1 Peter 3 is dealing with the example of Christs' suffering. Salvation has always been by grace through faith. Hard Sayings of the Bible makes this point: "As Noah was saved through water, so is the Christian: “Baptism now saves you.” How does baptism save a person? The answer is “by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” In other words, baptism is a union with Christ, and, united with Christ, we are carried with him to resurrection life. Paul has similarly used baptism as the point of union with Christ (Rom 6:4–11; Col 2:12). The key is that, as in 1 Peter 1:3, it is being joined to Jesus that saves. Without Jesus and his resurrection, baptism would be useless." The late C.H. Spurgeon succinctly states: "We ourselves are not dubious on this point, we protest that persons are not saved by being baptized. In such an audience as this, I am almost ashamed to go into the matter, because you surely know better than to be misled. Nevertheless, for the good of others we will drive at it. We hold that persons are not saved by baptism, for we think, first of all that it seems out of character with the spiritual religion which Christ came to teach, that he should make salvation depend upon mere ceremony. Judaism might possibly absorb the ceremony by way of type into her ordinances essential to eternal life; for it was religion of types and shadows. The false religions of the heathen might inculcate salvation by a physical process, but Jesus Christ claims for his faith that it is purely spiritual, and how could he connect regeneration with a peculiar application of aqueous fluid? I cannot see how it would be a spiritual gospel, but I can see how it would be mechanical, if I were sent forth to teach that the mere dropping of so many drops upon the brow, or even the plunging a person in water could save the soul." You cannot simply pull scriptures out of a hat to develop doctrine my freind The Book of James is not the doctrinal treatise of the NT that lays out how we are saved. Again, I refer you to Romans!

koscheiman, I'd strongly disagree about your statement that "but faith alone is not taught in Scripture" How about Eph. 2:8-9??? Your reading of 1 Peter 3:21 is neglecting the context! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

892 | Can we be baptized with the Holy Ghost? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173159 | ||
Nancy, Thank you for more fully explaining your view- I think! We will have to agree to disagree on this matter:-) Experience is NOT the judge of fellowship, dear sister, nor is whether I "believe" you or not! Our faith rests in the all-sufficiency of our Savior and our relationship to Him alone! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

893 | Can we be baptized with the Holy Ghost? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173133 | ||
Hi Nancy, Thank you for sharing:-) However, (and I don't mean to be pointed) you haven't answered my question. 1. Are you saying that being complete in Him (Col. 2:10) is NOT enough? 2. You say, "in Acts they were filled more than twice." What Bible verses support this statement? 3. You keep referring to experiences and general Books of the Bible, but What specific SCRIPTURES support your stance? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

894 | Can we be baptized with the Holy Ghost? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173111 | ||
Nancy: 1 Cor. 12:13 tells us, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." This is a completed action! On what basis do we need to seek more? Specific scriptures...? In Him, BradK |

895 | Baptism a second time? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173098 | ||
Hi Nancy, Your point is well taken:-) However, I prefer to "...walk in the Spirit..." so I will not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal. 5:16), and also seek to rest in the completed work of Christ (Col. 2:10). Thanks for sharing! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

dear bro raymond, The position you asserted ( I believe) was that Apostolic Succession is in order today. I disagree and do not think you've provided anything concrete from scripture to establish your position. Those who are "apostles" today are the ones I was referring to. 1. This is a public Forum (with guidelines), so expect that all of our views would be open to scrutiny (mine included); 2. Since you are the one making the assertion (or claim), the burden of proof is on you to establish it's validity; As I see it, the qualification for an apostle is one who was with the Lord and/or witnessed His resurrection (Acts 1:22). Paul saw the Lord and spent time with Him (1 Cor. 15:8, Gal. 1:12, 15-16). I trust that this will help to establish a fruitful dialog:-) BradK |

897 | Baptism a second time? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173079 | ||
Hi Nancy, I was sprinkled as an infant and immersed as a adult when I truly came to know the Lord. Aside from that, I don't see any Biblical pattern for continual re-baptizing. Do you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

bro raymond, Were any of them with the Lord some 2000 years ago? Your diligence is noted but your conclusion is not only highly speculative, it is without foundation! Did you arrive at this conclusion on your own? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
