We could keep those. But, all food is clean according to Mark 7:19. Nonetheless, the dietary restrictions were and are sound. Feast days have not been done away with, neither has taking a bath on Saturday. He may of fulfilled these, but are they done away with? Searcher |

2947 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | Searcher56 | 19256 | ||
... continuing In Luke 11:38, the word "wash" is the Greek word baptizo which also ordinarily is translated as "baptize." Likewise, in Hebrews 9:10 we of divers washings. The word "washings" is the Greek word baptismos which also is usually translated "baptism." Note that in all these passages the English words wash and washing are the same words as the Greek words which can be transliterated "baptize" or "baptism." The context of each of these These passages, therefore, show us that in the Bible the word "baptize" means to wash or cleanse or purify. Verses clearly shows that the word "washing" is a correct translation. Furthermore, there is no implication of dipping or immersion. For example, "tables" (Mark 7:4) are not dipped or immersed to clean them. These passages, therefore, show us that in the Bible the word "baptize" means to wash or cleanse or purify. This agrees with what we read in Hebrews 9:10, which declares that these Old Testament washings (and the Pharisees were attempting to keep as perfectly as possible the Old Testament ceremonial laws), stood only as carnal ordinances. It might also be noted that the Greek words baptizo or baptismos are never translated "dip" or "immerse." This is in complete harmony with the principle that the idea of immersion is never used as a synonym for salvation. We may thus be assured that baptizo means to wash or cleanse. As we continue this study, we shall see to a much greater degree how true this is. To me it is very clear ... note that I grew up as a Baptist. Searcher |

2948 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | Searcher56 | 19255 | ||
DLD, Read the Greek for Acts 2:38 and it should be clear to you by the tenses used the truth. Mark 16:16 says "he who has disbelieved shall be condemned" therefore is there a third group, those who only believe? What about those who were saved on the flights that crashed on 09/11 and the Alaska Airlnes serveral years ago? Rom 6:3-6, Col 2:12 and Eph 4:5 are the (inward) baptism of the Holy Spirit when we receive Christ. Now since you apparently did not read my post, here it is ... As we try to harmonize each and every Biblical reference to baptism, it is most important that we first discover the Biblical meaning of the word "baptism." Before we look at these Greek words, we should look at a similar Greek word, bapto. The reason we should look at this word is because many Bible students are convinced that the word "baptize" means to immerse. One of their arguments is that the root word from which "baptism" is derived is the word bapto, and it is always translated "dip" in the Bible. The fact is, when we carefully study the Bible's usage of the word "baptism," we will discover that it is never used to signify immersion. Moreover, we will find that the word "baptism," if it has any spiritual application, always has to do with the washing away of our sins. These two principles will be clearly seen as we go along in our study. On the other hand, the Greek word bapto or a similar word, embapto, is always translated "dip." But when we look at every place in the Bible where either bapto or embapto is found, we will find that they are never used as synonyms for the washing away of our sins. That is, in no way do they signify or relate to salvation. Therefore, even though in some ways they may be a cousin word to "baptism," actually, they are different words as God uses them in the Bible. To make sure this is so, let us take time to examine every place in the Bible where the words bapto and embapto are found The fact is, when we carefully study the Bible's usage of the word "baptism," we will discover that it is never used to signify immersion. It can be seen that the words bapto and embapto menos in these verses have nothing to do with washing away of sins. Whatever God is teaching in this action of dipping the sop and giving it to the betrayer Judas, it has nothing to do with the salvation of Judas (John 13:26). Nor does the dipping of the finger of Lazarus provide salvation for Lazarus or the rich man (Luke 16:24). One other Bible verse employs a derivative of the word bapto, and that is Revelation 19:13, which declares: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped [bapto] in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. Actually, the word bapto is the Greek word bebamnenon which is a neutral participle perfect middle which literally translates "having been dipped." Returning to our study of the Greek words baptizo, baptismos, and baptisma, we find that usually they are translated as "baptize" or "baptism." But in a few instances, the context does not allow that translation. We should examine each place in the Bible where these words are translated other than "baptize" or "baptism." This will help us to obtain the meaning of these Greek words. First, we will look at Mark 7:4, where we read: And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. Thus, we see that Revelation 19:13, where a derivative of the word bapto is used, as well as all of the other verses where we find the words bapto or embapto, give us no clue as to the meaning of the word "baptism." The word "wash" employed here is from the root of the Greek word baptizo which ordinarily is translated as "baptize." The word "washing" is baptismos which ordinarily is translated as "baptism." ... continuing |

2949 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | Searcher56 | 19118 | ||
DLD, You are correct. Not everytime did people speak in tongues when they were saved. You said 'The apostle Peter, in Acts 2:37-38 told those who believed Jesus to be "both Lord and Christ to "repent, and let each of you be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" Following their baptism they had their sins forgiven, they were born again, and the Holy Spirit was given to them.' Outward baptism is not required for salvation and it does not have to be by immersion. On the later, type my name Searcher56 and method baptism after clicking Search on the left side. However, the Greek tenses does not agree. Baptism was after their repentance, having their sins forgiven and receiving the Holy Spirit. You are also incorrect why Simon couldn't nave the ability to lay hands on people so they can recieve the Holy Spirit ... he wanted to BUY it. Searcher |

Alex, Would you consider the "time" before creation an age; during which He created the angels ... unless He did that during the gap in Gen 1:1-2. Also read 2 Pet 3, and Jer 4:18. Geologic Ages of Earth History, have 5 categories. They are, from longest to shortest: era (Cenozoic), period (Quatemary), sub-period (Quatemary), epoch (Holocene), age (Holocene). I put the current in parens. Source: http://www.dinosauria.com/dml/history.htm Steve |

ernestiney, Welcome to the forum. She had curvature of the spine. It sounds very similar to the disease that is still bending woman over today; osteoporious. Calcium from milk and milk products is a cure. A careful study of the Bible will reveal three basic causes of sickness. The first is violating natural law of God, such as the neglecting of rest when the body is tired and worn. The second is violating God’s moral law. (1 Cor. 11:30-31) The third cause of sickness is that of Satan. (Job 2:6, 2 Cor 12:7). -The woman was in this category. I hope this answers your question. Steve |

Kelkat, We celebrate Christmas on 12/25. But, to say that is the day of His birth is not Biblical. He probably was born in September ... which meant He may of been concieved on 12/25. Steve | ||||||
