I agree - it didn't take those first 3,000 souls a Doctorate in Theology to understand the simplicity of what Peter said. Incidentally, the same Peter that said baptism saves you. | ||||||

Dear LuvHisWurd, It also does not require a doctorate to know that building a doctrine based upon a single verse is a great mistake. Can you support your statement from other books or other authors of the Bible? John |

Hobbs: You write: "It also does not require a doctorate to know that building a doctrine based upon a single verse is a great mistake." How right you are! It is indeed a very great mistake. Your question -- "Can you support your statement from other books or other authors of the Bible?" -- is a good one. The answer is yes, in their opinion and by their logic, they probably can. But they'd be wrong because their opinion and logic are flawed. After participating in this forum for five years, I have observed that all one need do to argue his point is to take one or more verses out of context, ignore what the rest of the Bible has to say on the subject (i.e., ignore the analogia scriptura*), and ignore the cultural, historical background of the verse(s) and voila! -- one can distort Scripture to "prove" anything. This is the kind of "proof" that advocates of water salvation depend on. (*analogia scriptura. John MacArthur writes: "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the *analogia scriptura*, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED."
