401 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 26239 | ||
Greetings Kin! I agree, the Lord commands us to be baptized in Matthew 28:19. However, we can look an example in Acts that further defines that baptism is an outward, public display of the inner transformation that has already occurred. Acts 8:26-39 describes how Philip witnessed to and baptised an Ethiopian eunuch. After preaching the Gospel to him, the Ethiopian asks, "What hinders me from being baptized?". And Philip's response was, "If you believe with all your heart, you may.", which was the condition that had to first be met- believing in Jesus Christ with all of his heart- which would indicate that the inward change of salvation had occurred. And the Ethiopian confirms that this condition had already occurred by responding, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." Therefore, salvation happened before water baptism, and water baptism was the outward display of the inward conversion that had occurred (with the condition that salvation had already taken place). Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Greetings Hank, I've search ten versions of the Bible (in English) using QuickVerse and I cannot find this phrase (or any variation) anywhere.. But of course, QuickVerse does not come equipped with the Cotton Patch translation, which might shed some light.. :-) - Nolan |

Greetings kin! And again, I give it to you! Acts 8:36-38. You have stated, "You can go over this question a million times, but without scripture you are stating your own opinion." The same goes for you, my friend! :-) So I ask you yet again: Where in Scripture does it state that baptism is a necessary prerequisite for salvation??????? - Nolan |

Greetings Kin, I've heard this interpretation before. :-) To stress that baptism is essential to salvation and to say that that was never taught up until only 200 years ago is a VERY BIG assumption on your part! I see no progress here with you, and no matter how different your interpretation is from mine, you will never be successful in convincing me that your interpretation is correct. - Nolan |

You wouldn't, and I would! :-) So where does that leave us? - Nolan |

Kin, Nowhere in the verses that you have mentioned prove that water baptism is essential to salvation. Perhaps we should do a study on salvation? There are MANY verses that describe salvation and say absolutely nothing about water baptism. Would you mind explaining that? How about Romans 10:9-13? There is nothing at all that speaks about water baptism in these passages, and yet they speak volumes about salvation. I have already written very much on this subject, and I am not willing to rehash everything on this subject again. - Nolan |

In my opinion, that is exactly what you are not doing. And there is no possibility that you can convince me on this issue. |

Greetings Kalos! I realize that you merely posted that from the Grace to You website, but I must tell you that this post was nonetheless a joy to read and something special to sit down and ponder, as all of your posts are, my friend! Grace to you, Nolan |

Greetings SRN! That is pretty interesting.. There are many stories about the Knights Templar that should remain just that- stories. Blessings to you, Nolan |

416 | Shroud OK? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 26803 | ||
Greetings Dalprad! I never said that we should use the Shroud to bring people to Christ.. :-) In fact, I most certainly disagree with this! We should bring people to Christ by using the Bible and Scripture, not by using the Shroud of Turin. I agree with you, ministers are risking their credibility by basing their efforts on the authenticity of the Shroud. I believe that the Shroud in no way should influence our current and Bible-based efforts in winning souls for Christ! We will have much more success at evangelizing with the Bible and with prayer than we will by convincing people that the Shroud of Turin is authentic. To do so (witness with the evidence of the Shroud) is dangerous and completely unfounded. This is idolatry! We should have ALL of our efforts focused on the Bible and prayer when we witness to others for Jesus, and nothing else. Blessings to you my friend! Nolan |

Greetings Dalprad, That is really a shame and a discouragement to know that your local disc jockey who claims to be Christian is leading others astray by "proving" Christ instead of "showing" Christ by the only way possible- using God's Holy Word! We must forget about the Shroud in terms of evangelizing people, and people will only become true Christians by learning the Word, and not by looking at the image of a man on a Shroud. Grace to you, Nolan |
