I ask a simple question, if you want to read into that's up to you! If there is no relations please just say so, then I'll try another question. I can have notice that most on this forum believe basicly the same, I just thought I'd inject some thought provoking question into the forum, that's why it's here is'nt it. What if I was a nonbeliever and I ask the same questions, would you not answer them? It just so happened that I believe, what the bible says concerning faith, repentance, confession,and water baptism into Christ. It's different from what you believe, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it on this forum does it? One other note: I notice that speaking with tongues, has been a subject that has been a topic longer than baptism, and no ones tired of it! | ||||||

167 | Do we as men dictate the terms of Salv? | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 51418 | ||
Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly, The book of Galatians, ;1,2Cor.;Eph;Col;Phil;Romans;etc. were written to baptized believers or unbaptized believers? You put what Jesus tells us to do to be saved, (to be baptized) in the same category as the Law of Moses! 1 John 2:4 "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a lair, and the truth is not in him". How can John say this about believers, and you say Paul in his writing is excluding baptism, when Jesus is the one who told his disciples to preach and teach men what to do to be saved. Jesus told Ananias to tell Saul to "arise and be baptized and wash away his sins" Acts 22:16. 1 John 5:4-12 mainly vs.6-8 "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood, And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. vs.7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. vs.8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. vs. If we receive the witness fo men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God, which he hath testified of his Son. From the above passages what do we learn, We need to have faith in what God tells us to do, and do it without questions! Why do you look for a way out of what Jesus said? Do we as men dictate the terms of salvation or does God dictate the terms? | ||||||
168 | 1 John 5:6 What is John saying Here? | 1 John 5:6 | Grace and Truth | 51400 | ||
1 John 5:6 What is John saying Here? 1 John 5:6 This is He Who came by (with) water and blood [His baptism and His death], Jesus Christ (the Messiah)--not by (in) the water only, but by (in) the water and the blood. And it is the [Holy] Spirit Who bears witness, because the [Holy] Spirit is the Truth. Note vs.5 also, is our salvation in this verse? |

Just as the Lord spoke to him on the road to Damascus, the Lord told him what to DO! (Mark 16:16 is what the Lord told the apostles to tell us). Here's a thief question, why didn't the Lord save Saul right there? Why did he send him to Ananias? Why did Ananias tell Saul get up and be baptized and wash away his sins? I know you're going to say he was already (saved) but a saved person doesn't need to be baptized and wash away his sins, as did Saul. I'm glad we stop by this scripture! Here we have the Lord himself telling Saul to go hear the gospel and believe it and be baptized and wash away his sins through Ananias! This something that can't be denied, this takes care of the thief question and all other question concerning salvation. This is the Risen Christ telling someone what they MUST DO to be saved! We know Jesus could have saved Saul right there, but He sent him to Ananias a servant of his to tell Saul what he MUST DO to be SAVED! Now if Jesus told Ananias what to tell Saul, and He did! Who on this forum can say that baptism is not in God's salvation plan? Or did Ananias say anything about baptism? And if he did, what did he say, and who told him to say whatever he said? And Why? | ||||||

You ask about Gal 3:15-17, which is the promised seed! Which is Christ! vs.2 is what Paul is addressing: "This only would I learn of you, Recieved ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith (Gospel)? And the verses are talking about the Law of Moses and the faith of Abraham I agree! vs.11 "The just shall live by faith (Gospel)". | ||||||

I understand her point about time, but my point is from the time Saul heard the gospel to the time he was baptized was the same hour. Yes he met the Lord three day earlyer, but my point was all those who believed after they heard the gospel were baptized the same hour! What I first stated my question it was show me someone who believed the gospel and was not baptized in the same hour? | ||||||

Third, the Gentile officer was aware that saving truth was embodied in an objective revelation which would issue from a man who had been appointed by God to instruct him. The group therefore was assembled to “hear” the things, i.e., “words,” (cf. 11:14) to be spoken by Peter. Cornelius knew he had received no special message from the angel, detailing the content of what he must do in order to enjoy salvation. He did not surmise that he could capture “spiritual vibes” from the atmosphere in some esoteric fashion. He did not subscribe to the view that he could merely follow the inclinations of his conscience and all would be right (cf. Pr. 14:12; Acts 23:1). This is a powerful truth that legions today, who are searching for answers in every place but the right one, need to learn. Fourth, this centurion acknowledged the sovereignty of Almighty God. He confessed that the Lord had “commanded” certain things to which human beings were amenable, and he was anxious to humbly submit. There are several interesting matters here. 1. “Commanded” translates the Greek term prostasso, literally “to arrange toward,” hence denotes to prescribe, order, or command something (Arndt, 725). In the Greek papyri it is used to depict a decree issued by a sovereign ruler (Moulton , Milligan, 551). 2. The verb is a passive voice form, suggesting that God is the giver of commands, and we humans are the receivers. We are not allowed in the driver’s seat! 3. The term is in the perfect tense, reflecting an action that has occurred already, but the results are abiding. The effect here is this: God had commanded, and his will was to remain inviolate. There would be no disputing it. This was truly an amazing concept for this Gentile to have perceived. Earlier, even Peter had said: “Not so, Lord” (14). Fifth, Cornelius recognized that he could not selectively obey the Lord. “All” was the goal. He said they were present to receive “all things” the Lord had commanded Peter to convey. How many there are today who would be so happy if only God allowed them “multiple choice” obedience. They would gladly believe if only they could dispense with baptism (Mk. 16:16), or else they would be immersed if only they did not have to repent (Acts 2:38). Initially, Naaman the Assyrian was not terribly disturbed about dipping in a river for cleansing from his leprosy, he just faulted the Lord’s location of the ceremony (2 Kgs. 5:12). He needed to learn that deliberate, partial obedience is no obedience! Sixth, the centurion conceded the authority of Peter, an apostle, as a spokesman for deity. He suggested that he and his family were there to hear from Peter the things that God commanded his apostle to tell them. Peter’s words would carry as much weight as if the Lord had spoken to them personally. There are those who labor under the illusion that the “words in red,” in some editions of the Gospel accounts, are of greater significance than what Peter or Paul wrote. I actually have heard members of the church state that they did not agree with Paul on some issues. Such a reckless expression of disrespect! It was no less a person than the Savior himself who said: “He who hears you [apostles] hears me; and he who rejects you [apostles] rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me” (Lk. 10:16). Paul declared that the things he wrote represented the “commandment of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). Cornelius’ understanding and disposition, as reflected in this solitary sentence, is stunning indeed. It truly reveals something of the depth of his soul. Are we willing to listen as he teaches us? |

You say three days, I say one hour! And it started when Ananias went in the house. Let's look at the text: Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord (what wilt thou have me to do)? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, (and it shall be told thee what thou MUST do). The Lord himself told him that he had to obey what Ananias told him he MUST do the same hour! vs17-18; Acts22:10, Jesus told him what he Must do. Acts22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Paul himself said he was told to be baptized and wash away his sins. Is there any importants to him be baptized? Was his sins gone prior to him being told to have them washed away? Did Ananias tell him what Jesus said for him to do or did he make it up himself? In Acts 22:16 tells me that Jesus meant what he said in Mark 16:16, Baptism is very important to him! In Matt 21:23-27 I believe this answers the question on the latter part of Mark 16:16, vs24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. vs.25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, FROM HEAVEN; He will say unto us (Why did ye not then believe him?) This verse shows "but he that believeth not shall be damned" Mark 16:16b. Luke 7:29-30 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, JUSTIFIED God, being BAPTIZED with the baptism of John. (Jesus is Greater than John)! vs.30 But the Pharisees and lawyers REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD, AGAINST THEMSELVES, BEING (NOT BAPTIZED OF HIM). We know this is the baptism of repentance, unto the remission of sins. But Mark 16:16 is the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Now we can see clearly what Jesus is telling men and women to do in this verse, those who will not believe of corse will not be baptized. Belief is connected with being baptized and that cannot be denied! Matt 21:25; Luke 7:29-30. |

177 | Mark 16:16 what does it say? | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 51196 | ||
It is saying that the promised seed would come through Abraham, and that is Christ vs 16 15.Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covernant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is (Christ). 17 And this I say, that the covernant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. simply put it saying nothing would stop Christ from coming into the world, because God promise it would happen! |

"If baptism is not a 'work', then I guess we don't need to 'do' it"! :-) It's a command! From Jesus himself! In Luke 7:30 It says that the Pharisees and lawyers, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being "not baptized of him. (John) If John's baptism was the counsel of God then what was Jesus baptism in Mark 16:16;Acts2:38; is it the counsel of God also, can we reject it or say it's not necessary for salvation if God commanded us to be baptized? |
