1 | Scripture supporting Sprinkling/Immersio | Rom 6:1 | kreature | 145753 | ||
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. I do believe that to get the forgiveness of sins, one has to be baptized. That is what Peter said. Thank You |

Hello kreature, I'm familiar with the Acts 2:38 verse. It is, one of the most overused and (IMO) abused scriptures to support baptismal regeneration. I think we have to ask several questions before we jump to the conclusion that this one verse contains the "formula" for salvation. It is tenuous at best to develop a doctrine around one verse. Who was Peter speaking to and how does the whole of scripture shed light on on this verse! You'd certainly need more than Acts 2:38 to support your contention. Further, by your logic, I should pluck my eye out (and I suspect you'd do likewise), because this is what Jesus said! ( Matt. 5:29-30) Those are my thoughts. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I am not sure why you would want to pluck out your eye but the only two reasons for baptism is for the forgiveness of sins and to be added to the church. Of course, if you do not want these two things, I guess you do not have to get baptized. I know that this scripture is overused but it has these two meanings. You can read a little further in Acts 2:38-41 and see that there were about 3000 added to the church that day through their baptisms. | ||||||

Hi kreature, I was using the example of Jesus in Matt. 5:29 -30 to emphasize that literal interpretation of a passage is not always the correct one. Context and the entirety of scripture need to be considered as well. One verse of scripture does not a doctrine make! I've been both sprinkled as an infant and immersed as an adult, so I have my bases covered:-) I certainly don't want to belabor the point or debate over this matter. However, how one views the Book of Acts will impact the doctrinal views held. There is a third view- like it or not. I believe that Acts is a narrative (primarily)- a bridge between the Gospels and Epistles. It's focus is not doctrinal- and by that I mean laying out the definitive practices for the church today. Now, if you are of the Church of Christ, I understand your view, but unfortunately do not embrace it. Lets move on to more profitable and edifying discussions. There is so much more to the Bible than baptism running through its' pages. Would you agree? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Greetings Brad, I agree with you whole heartedly.We cant afford to ignore or over compensate for one part of the bible at the expence of the other.It's the whole Word of God that we should concerne ourselves with.God wants us fully equiped.No such thing as half measures where God is concerned. I think Paul does a pretty clear job in handling the subject of baptism immersion/sprinkling. He paints a pretty clear picture in Romans 6. In Christ, lionheart |

Thank You Lionheart. I am glad that someone else has figured it out. You have to give your all. God knows we are not perfect. But we need to strive toward it. That is why we should not just do parts of the law. | ||||||

Thats why I'm a firm believer where 2Timothy 2:15 and 2Peter 1;20,21 are concerned.When we apply these two principles it takes the guess work out of everything. In Christ, lionheart |
