John the Baptist made a statement to a crowd of people that contained both believers and unbelievers with reference to something that Jesus was going to do to all of them. Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Those in the crowd were all going to be baptized by Jesus. But they wouldn't all receive the same baptism; some would be baptized with the Holy Ghost and the rest would be baptized with fire. The interesting point, that wasn't mentioned at the time, was that the baptism received was going to be a result of the individuals own decision, i.e. just who is the man called Jesus. Ephes. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Now for the unbelievers there is another verse. Rev. 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. |

I know that this is off the beaten path, but I have been sitting on the sidelines reading all of these post and you seem to be pretty well informed. I would like to ask you what you personal think of the person of Jesus Christ, if you don't mind the change. If you don't feel comfortable answering this I will understand. Thank you, CDBJ |

Would you then say then, as a result of your answer, that Apollyon is a good angel or didn't this one come to your attention? Rev. 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. |

285 | Mathew 16:18--what is the "rock"? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 41769 | ||
Hi angel-1, I would like to add to this if I may? The church that Jesus is speaking of in Matthew 16:18 is very unique. Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church spoken of by Christ, isn't even an organization, it's an organism, no denomination, no bricks or even stained glass! The members of this elite organism, some of which belong to different organizations, are actually parts of Christ body, with him being the head. All the special members of this church have something in common, and I am sure that you know what it is, as do the rest that belong to this special church, because they all became members the same way.

New creature, I haven't read the Arminius version of the Bible but I think that the Book of John must read different then mine. Possibly as follows! John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life, which only last for a few days sometimes, then they lose it and then there are some who get it again. I am not the brightest person in the world for sure but unless God is try to trick me, which I'm sure he's not, what does not perish mean, and how long is eternal? Since God knows everything and he knew that I could lose my salvation, which according to some I can, why would God bother saving me in the first place if he knew I could lose it? There will be some that will argue with me till they are blue in the face with a bunch of Scripture that they would like to quote, but all I can say is they don't know what I know or the wouldn't be arguing about it. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Some believers haven't entered into this rest as yet,CDBJ |

The Bible says believe and be baptized, in that order. I have never seen or heard of a baby believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. A baby has no vocabulary and a person can't think beyond their vocabulary! Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. |

Hi Steve, it's not that you stand corrected; if you are anything like me we just have our senior moments and forget a lot of stuff. I am sure that you knew the verse but it just didn't come to mind; there might even be more for all I know. We just have to answer some of the question the best we know how and hope for others to add to it with the knowledge that the Lord has given them on the subject. CDBJ | ||||||

Who cares what any denomination or church thinks! What does the Word of God have to say, that is all that counts with believers! If I had water dribbled on, sprinkled on, or I was dipped a thousand times and some words said over me from the Bible it doesn't mean a thing until I personally believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Only after that has happened is it considered being baptized according to the Word of God so there isn't any (re)baptism to it. |

The Word of God is subject to only one interpretation but many applications. The reason for all those denominations is best answered by Peter, with reference to Paul's writings. 2 Peter 3:16-17 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Why is it that you feel as though you always have to interject your religion into all your answers? Just give us what the Bible has to say on the subject, and let it go at that, quit pushing religion! I would venture to say that over ninety percent of those actively answering and asking question on this forum never mention their particular denomination but then they are more involved with the Lord then they are with their churches or denominations. I sure would like to hear what others have to say on this mater! CDBJ |

Are you implying, by your response, that the Bible even hints of baptismal regeneration as the norm, which is what has been pushed down my throat for years by the Roman persuasion? If the Bible does suggest this, could you please point out the Scriptural examples where infants were baptized? I have been under the impression that regeneration took place when sinners believed the Gospel message. I thought that I was saved by faith, by hearing and believing in Christ. Now people are telling me that I was born again when I got sprinkled on by some water, when I was so young that my volition had nothing to do with it. I guess I better believe what all these mixed up religions are saying because I am not sure the Bible is telling me the truth. WOW, I wonder who is right, the source, or the hand me down rituals? Come on Joe give me a break you know where this is going, CDBJ |

Joe, explain if you would how an infant can have a good conscience toward God by believing in the resurrected Christ? 1 Peter 3:20-21 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: You could baptize a boy everyday of his life until he is eighteen years old if you like, but if after that, by chance he dies, having never trusted in Jesus Christ for his salvation he is going to hell. That isn't reform theology from Calvin, it is informed facts, from the Bible! Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Am I wrong in saying the following and if so why bother! Baptism doesn't do any more for the (so-called) Christians that are trusting in their baptism then did circumcision for the Jews who put their confidence in the removal of a little flesh instead of trusting in the coming Messiah. Maybe I am a bonehead, but I still can't see in the Bible where Christian baptism ever precedes faith in Christ. If people want to dedicate their children fine, I'm not saying that it is wrong, just don't call it baptism because biblically speaking baptism always follows faith in Christ. CDBJ |

Well Joe, you know what happens when we ASSUME something. You say in your post: So how do you interpret the "household baptisms" cited from Acts in my previous posts? Only the head of the household is recorded as believing, and yet the whole household (which some reasonably assume would include slaves, spouses, and all children--even infants) was baptized, with no indication of saving faith on their parts. If I remember right, didn't you say in a post of yours a while back that we have to go on what the Bible says, not what it doesn't say? It might have been on one of Tim's posts but I thought it was yours, seeing as I read both of yours very carefully; that part seemed to stick with me. Personally speaking if it were my whole house there are seven of us, with no slaves, with the exception of me of course, and the youngest is 32 years old. Now since you started with the word assume, lets assume that since they were all baptized, in the verses in Acts, they must have all believed. It is not true today in the U.S.A. but in most of the Middle East today, according to missionaries that I have talked to, believing in Jesus Christ is one thing but confessing him by the act of baptism is like signing a death warrant. The new believers are being baptized and as a result many they say, and not a few have been killed as a result, even by family members. Those being baptized sure aren't man pleasers they are doing it as a testimony to there true faith in Christ. I Corinthians 7:12-14 points emphasis to word Holy, which as you correctly stated means set apart; Jesus himself tells us how this is done. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. The whole key here is exposure to God word through the believing spouse. i.e. exposure to the Word of God through instruction form the believer. Put the shoe on the other foot what if both parents are unbelievers, now what happens to the children are the clean or unclean? It is the action of God's Word that does the cleaning. John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. To me it all point to the one thing, The Word, Living or written! |

One of my children, when she was a teenager, came up to me one day and said (Dad just what do we believe). I told her that I am not sure what she believed but I know what I believe. I know what I have told you with reference to what the Bible teaches about Jesus but how do I know if you truly believe it. There again the Bible teaches that by their fruits you shall know them. If just being born into the family of a believer did the trick, as it were, we wouldn't have the story about two brothers on the opposite sides of the fence, the brothers being Esau and Jacob. Every individual has to make the biggest decision that they will ever make in this life and that is to (personally) believe in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior or reject him, this isn't a family matter. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: God doesn't say anything about having grandchildren, everyone that personally believes in God's Son Jesus, is a child of God. Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Notice is doesn't say grandfather the word Abba actually mean daddy in the English. I hope this explain my short post, CDBJ |

Do you think that it would be a good idea to gather up all the murderous butchers in the country and apply the eye for an eye concept? On second thought I think that I would rather have a nice cut of stake instead! The best stakes in Paul's day were found in the heathen butcher shops, which were part of the heathen temples in Corinth they were called the shambles. Where are you getting this tripe, pardon the expression? CDBJ |

Joe, I have to hand it to you, you probably could have given Barnabas a run for his money. I don't know what your background is but if you aren't a lawyer you no doubt missed your calling. This has been great and you are loved in the Lord, CDBJ |

Raven, you made a statement in your post that blows my mind and I guarantee you that I am not a Calvinist. You said in your post, But we DO NOT inherit sin in this case "Original sin" from the sin that Adam committed. If we don't inherit our old sin nature from Adam, then who do we inherit it from, since it is passed down. If what you say is true, and babies are not born with an old sin nature, why then did the Messiah have to be sired by God Himself in order not to have an old sin nature? Don't confuse sin with sins; I commit sins because I was born in sin. I didn't even have to be trained how to commit sins, because it was in my nature! When a person believes in Jesus Christ they get a new nature that constantly wars with the old one that we will continue to have until this body dies. Romans 7:15-25 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. |

If Noah earned it then it wouldn't have been grace. Grace isn't something that one can earn. I am saved, and a horrible sinner, yet I found grace in the Lords eyes or I wouldn't be saved to this day! Believe me when I tell you I didn't deserve it and never will. Don't ask me why the Lord chose me because I haven't got a clue but I sure love Him for revealing His Son to me so I could trust in Him.

Hi Joe, you just made my day! I was beginning to wonder if you were really human, but now I know you are, just kidding pal. I told you that I read all of your post. Can I quote you on this post of yours? You don't think that Moses earned a place on the ark on his own initiative. Would you consider him a time traveler? This doesn't deserve a response. CDBJ |
