That was a misunderstanding on my part, I guess I didn't understand the question. I have read many of your post and I think you are a very wise man of the word of God, and I look forward to learning more from you and others on this forum. |

62 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56776 | ||
Good morning Tim, That's if you're on the east coast. If we just took Acts 2:41 all by itself, the bible tells us that three thousand people were baptized in one day, we know by the number of people that had to take a long time to baptize all of them, but the bible tells us that they were baptized that same day. That give us an idea what it was like with John the Baptist in Matt 3:5,6 Then Jerusalem and all of Judea and all the regions about the Jordan went out to him. 6 And were immersed (baptized) in the Jordan River by him confessing their sins. The bible gives us a pattern, from the time of John through the book of Acts. This is why I asked why do people take baptism in water lightly? It was so important, that Jesus asked a question to the cheif priest and elders about John's baptism, he ask was it from heaven or of men? But they refused to answer him openly, they reasoned among themselves, and said if we say from heaven, then he will say why didn't you believe him? And if we say of men, the people will stone us. Matt 21:24,25 When I studied this, then I understood that water baptism must be very important, and more important than we know. That's why I believe it is also of the grace of God. When the bible said not of works lest any man should boast. I took a deep look at what that means, not of man's own righteousness or of the Law of Moses. Then I asked where did baptism come from? It came from God, man had nothing to do with it. God can save us any way He chooses, and by the words of Jesus God chose baptism as part of his plan, John 12:50; Matt 21:24,25 and it is impossible for God to lie. |

"or answer a question with a question." I learned that from Jesus. Matt 21:24,25. lol. But thank you for your advice, I will do my best and ask the Lord to handle the rest. |

1.)It is true that Peter did not say anything about being baptized in his sermom, and it is also true that no one believed his sermon in chapter 3, you will find the answer in chapter 4 verse 1-3, Peter and John were put in prison for preaching the Resurrection of Jesus and of the dead. 2.) If you want to know what Paul did in his preaching of the gospel you must go to the book of Acts. In Acts 16:8-40, you can learn what Paul preached. Vs.14 Ana a woman named Lydia from Thyatira, a dealer in purple who worshiped God listened; whose heart the Lord opened to heed the things Spoken by Paul. Vs 15 After she and her household had be immersed, (baptized) she implored ud saying, If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide; and she insisted that we stay. Then later in the chapter vs.30-34 And after he brought them out he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your household Shall be saved. 32 And They Spoke the Word of the Lord To Him, Together with All Who were in His House. 33 And He took them the Same Hour of the Night and Wash their Wounds, And Immediately He Himself Was Immersed, (Baptized) and All of His Household. 34 And he brought them into the house and set food before them; and he and all his household Rejoiced, having Believed in God. This is what the bible saids about what Paul did when he preached the gospel. This also let me know that what he wrote in the letters to the church he was not Saying that Baptism into Christ was works of men. AScts 18:5-8 But after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia Paul gave himself wholly to the Word; testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 But when they set themselves in opposition against Paul, he shook off his garments and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head; I am clean. Now I go to the Gentiles. 7 So he departed from there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worshiped God; whose house was next to the synagogue. 8 But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household; and Many of the Corinthians, after the Heard, Believed and were Immersed,(Baptized). Asts 19:1-5 1 It was while Apollos was in Corinth that Paul, having passed through the upper part, came Ephesus and found certain disciples. 2 He said to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit after you believed? But they said to him, We never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. 3 And he said, Into what then were you immersed (Baptized)? And they said, Into the Immersion of John. 4. But Paul said, John immersed with an Immersion of repentance; saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is in Jesus. 5. Now after they heard this they were immersed (Baptized) into the name of the Lord Jesus. This is what Paul Preached. 3. The Law of Jesus Christ started after the ascension. Gotta go for now talk to you later. |

Let's first take your last statement, "It is one of many things which we have been commanded as Christians to do because we are saved." 1)You must first show me scripture were it says we are christians before we are baptized into Christ. "'Works' in the New Testament is simply synonymous with anything done to 'earn' salvation - 'anything'. In other words, a 'work' is something 'done'. Anything which MUST be DONE to be saved is a 'work' and thus is ruled out by Scripture as something which is necessary for salvation. So, if baptism is something which we must 'do', then it is a work." In your above statement you said any thing done is a "work" and therefore has nothing to do with our salvation. I would have you to know "faith" is a "work" John 6:28,29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the work of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he sent. Here Jesus said "faith" is a work, Now where is our salvation? Then you must prove that baptism in water is a work, the bible never place baptism in that category. |

"Wasn't the Law also from God? By your reasoning, since the Law was from God, then obedience to it should have been necessary for salvation" Yes the Law was from God, But He replace the Law of Moses with the Law of Christ. The Law of Christ is for Salvation. Yes, Christ has a Law Gal.6:2. Heb.7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Heb.8:6-13 vs.6"a better covenant,which was established upon better promises. vs.7 For if that first covenant had been faultess, then should no place have been sought for the second. vs.8 For finding fault with them, he saith, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will Make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: vs.13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. "Nothing in this passage supports the view that baptism is necessary for salvation." This baptism that John preached was "for the remission of sins" Just like the one Peter preached. Is remission of sins Salvation? Both were commanded By God. Mark 1:4, Acts 2:38. " 1) Your challenge then is to present a single Bible verse which commands a person to be baptized within a certain time frame! Notice that I said 'commands', not simply records a baptism taking place quickly. If you can do that, then I will agree with you that a person must be baptized immediately after conversion." Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. These are commands, but I know you will try to change them into something else, but you cannot deny that both of these are commands. If Baptism was not apart of salvation why would Paul ask this question in Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were you baptized? Sense salvation is in the name of Jesus Christ Acts 4:12 Neihter is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Baptism is not mentioned in this text, but the name of Jesus is, and the power in the name, which means "by the authority of Jesus Christ" And when you said that baptism is not for salvation, you are saying that the name of Jesus Christ has no authority. Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All Power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 God ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This to is a command from the "Master" Jesus Christ himself. Question: If Baptism is in the name of Jesus, and if one get's baptized in the name of Jesus doesn't that equal salvation? Acts 4:12 Your answer to the above question should set the record straight. If the bible is right, and it is, you shouldn't question the word of God about baptism, just except it, God said it's for the remission of sins, in the name of Jesus Christ. |

Then Jesus gave the Great Commission for nothing. Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, (baptizing) the in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Mark 16:15,16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. The Savoiur of the World spoke these word in vain if we take the attitude the baptism is not for salvation, baptism is what he commanded the apostle to teach and preach in the gospel when he gave the Great Commission. |

It is evident you do not believe that baptism is for the remission of sins. This is my last post on this subject. I also noticed that the majority of the forum believe the same as you do on this subject. I will make this last statement: (no responce please) Matt 7:13-14 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. When we look at the thread on baptism which gate did You enter? |

Hello to all forum members, This is some neat things being disguss on this forum, I found site just an hour ago, and was reading some of the posts that were posted about faith, and Abraham. Can I just add something to the disgussion! I read Romans 4:16-25 vs.16 says everything was based on the promise God made to Abraham, that he would be the father of many nations vs.17. Faith of Abraham was imputed to him when he performed bringing in the seed of Isaac, that God who gives life to the dead and calls into existens things at are not. vs.18 Who, when things were against hope, believed in hope, that he might be the father of many nations, according to that which was (spoken), Thus shall your posterity (seed) be. vs.19-22 gives the answer to when it was credited for righteousness. 19 And not being weak in the faith he did not consider his own body, already dead,(here's faith) being a hundred years old; or the deadness of Sarah's womb. (This is the faith that saves) vs. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but being strong in faith, gave glory to God; 21 In full assurance that God was able to perform what he had promised. 22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness. Question? Was it mere consent, or was it the fact that he and his wife was to old to have children, and he and his wife had relations and she conceived in her old age? They trusted God, and that what he credited for righteousness. vs.23-25 says we are to have the same kind of faith that Abraham had, the dead received life by faith. Remember how he did it! |
