1 | jcsav, baptism does not save. | Acts 2:38 | jcsav | 147416 | ||
Repent, resulting in the forgiveness of sins. Have to be incorrect. There is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood (Matt 26:28). Water and Blood cleanse and Purify. Not repentance. Repentance changes ones views and purpose in order to accept the will of God in your inner self instead of rejecting it. So you can not possibily reject the commandment to be baptised if you have truly repented for it is, the will of God. Both conditions must be meet in order to receive the Holy Ghost, in the sense of being born into the kingdom. One without the other is not according to Scripture (the one Baptism). If Jesus used the same word/phrase then isn't it reasonable to believe Peter's commandment, by inspiration and sent by Jesus , would mean the exact same thing. And what Bible translation uses such a interperation as the one you have came up with. Are you wiser than they? | ||||||

3 | Where did the eunuch rec the Holy Ghost? | Acts 8:39 | jcsav | 147412 | ||
There is a difference from translation and meaning. Now, I understand where you are coming from. It is not possible for one to repent and then refuse to follow one of God's commandments. Remember Peter preaching had pricked their hearts. But there is no reason to believe that they had repented at that time and that they had already been remitted of their sins based upon their repentance or the preaching that they heard. As I say again, then there would be no reason for Peter then to tell them to repent. Preaching can lead to repentance. But hearing Preaching do not mean one has repented. Nineveh showed their repentance through their actions that followed (they began to obey God.) If Jonah believed hearing preaching was the only thing need for salvation. Then he would not have waited to see what God would do to them. | ||||||
4 | jcsav, baptism does not save. | Acts 2:38 | jcsav | 147408 | ||
The answer was to a question put to Peter. Peter answers. Now, why would one say, parts of the answer gave, Is any less imperative than the whole. Please,Explain what you mean. Isn't all of it part of Gods commandment? | ||||||
5 | Why not just accept what Scripture says? | Acts 2:38 | jcsav | 147407 | ||
Thank God for someone who knows the relationship with blood and baptism. I believe people just like to try to find a way around what God says. The Jews had a real good saying that the converts quoted as they were baptized. "I WILL DO AND I WILL LISTEN." | ||||||
6 | Where did the eunuch rec the Holy Ghost? | Acts 8:39 | jcsav | 147403 | ||
If that argument is true. Then Peter tells them in Acts 2:38 to repent. Even though they had already repented (by your interpertation). Though Scripture tells us that they was pricked in their hearts (which is not the same as repentance). My words: Guilt, still within them (knowing there was more to be done), they asked Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter answer would have been "nothing". You are already SAVED. eis is used as you stated "at" 20 times. But, show me where it is used, Its meaning being "Because of". It is not there, just as I have stated. | ||||||
7 | jcsav, baptism does not save. | Acts 2:38 | jcsav | 147367 | ||
"Repent and be immersed on account of remission of sins already enjoyed." But this interpertation is subject to two insuperable objections. 1st To command men to repent and be immersed because their sins were already remitted, is to require them not to be immersed on this account, but to repent because they were already pardoned. There is no possibility of extricating the interpretation from this absurdity. 2d. It contradicts an obvious fact of the case. It makes Peter command the inquirers to be immersed because their sins were already remitted, whereas it is an indisputable fact that their sins were not yet remitted. On the contrary, they were still pierced to the heart with a sense of guilt, and by the question they propounded were seeking how they might obtain the very pardon which this interpretation assumes that they already enjoyed. Certainly no SANE man would assume a position involving such absurdity, and so contradictory to an obvious fact, were he not driven to it by the inexorable demands of a THEORY which could not be otherwise sustained." This information from www.bebaptize.org. To that I say, Amen! |

Steve, Mal 3:3 is the at least One of the Scriptures that can be used. To try to explain it to you would be exhausting. Study the Jewish "Mikvah" or see if you can find a "Jewish rabbi" ask him how this apply to the word "purifier", "purify" and "Purge" as it is used in Mal 3:3. You would also, except it better coming from him. | ||||||

Searcher, that is what I have been trying to get you to see in some of the past treads. That a believer can believe and even be baptised. And yet not have received the Holy Ghost. Wasn't that you who ask me about the 3,ooo believers? If not I apoligize. As for as the Greek go. Lets say I believe You. Lets delete "For the remission of sin" from Acts 2:38. It would still read "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." It still would be a commandment from God. And where did you find the Greek meaning of "eis" , "Because of" do not appear in the KJV Dr. Hackett (Baptist, so you do not think I am Bias) expressed himself still more satificatorily: eis aphesin hamartion, in order to the forgiveness of sins, (Matt. 26:28 Luke iii:3,) we connect, naturally, with the both the preceding verbs. This clause states the motive or object which should induce them to repent and be baptised. It enforces the entire exhortation, not one part of it to the exclusion of the other.

11 | jcsav, Meaning of Jesus silenced them? | John 3:5 | jcsav | 147288 | ||
I didn't think you would. But, it is there. Romans 6:3-5, "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from tlhe dead by lthe glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. Now, tell me what is more important than that? Read the topic that Searcher started. What do it say? What do the Scripture above say? |

12 | jcsav, Meaning of Jesus silenced them? | John 3:5 | jcsav | 147280 | ||
Every thing I say but be backed with Scripture? I USED the Scripture to support the fact that the Jews Understood baptism. You said the same thing, without Scripture. Read back over you tread. That proves how unfair you are. What I have not figured out, until now. Is how did they know who would baptise. The answer can be found in Mal 3:3. "And he shall sit as a refiner and prifier of silver: and he shall pruify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness." The baptism is in these verses. | ||||||

Good job! | ||||||
14 | What must I do to be saved? | Rom 10:9 | jcsav | 147249 | ||
As for as the baptism goes. It is the Lord that baptises with the Spirit. Philip also taught him, before he baptised him. Preaching, Lay on of hands (If you have that gift), Praying can all help. | ||||||
15 | jcsav, Meaning of Jesus silenced them? | John 3:5 | jcsav | 147247 | ||
Please read the treads that lead up to my comment. I was ask the question, why I did not ask others on this forum about baptism? If you do not want my to answer. Then please, do not ask. If you know my position on baptism. Why not respect that also. And how many times do I need to tell everyone that we are not a denomination. We are one of many organizations that are incorporated. And within these corporations is the Churches which is in turn incorporation. And we are protected by Law, in each State that we are incorporated in. I have great respect for the owner (Sponsors) of this forum. They did a great job. | ||||||

Surprised at you Searcher. I though that according to your belief that every believer that is baptised, or not. Have also received the Holy Ghost (Spirit). What is wrong? don't you think the eunuch was a believer? | ||||||
17 | jcsav, baptism does not save. | Acts 2:38 | jcsav | 147221 | ||
Their is no where in Scripture where it says you are saved before you are Baptised. Jesus said, whoever believes and is baptised shall be saved. Saved is a deliverance from you sin. It have to be worked out. Repentance before Baptism, Yes. But repentance itself have nothing to do with "remission of sins" That can only mean baptism of water. Heb 9:22, "And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood and without shedding of blood there is no remission." Blood is another word for death. That have to mean the "Watery Grave." Luke 24:47, "and that repentance and remission of sins should be Preached in his name amoung all nations beginning at Jerusalem." That is what Peter did in Acts 2:38. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to obey, than try to find a way around what God have commanded us to do? There was no break in Peters chain of thought. Question your study material, but, don't change what Peter said. |

That, I agree with. | ||||||
19 | jcsav, Meaning of Jesus silenced them? | John 3:5 | jcsav | 147219 | ||
The statement that I made is fact whether I can figured it out or not. Why ask those on this forum about baptism. When they don't know what todays baptism is. That I do Know, and can tell you. | ||||||
20 | What is your definition of a believer? | James 2:19 | jcsav | 147161 | ||
lionheart, I know what a True believer really is. But we have some on this forum that have take believing to mean, not action, but inaction. And try to use faith to Justify, that lack of action. No child of God will end up in hell. But everyone that call himself a believer, is not. I had to speak to Seacher, in one way. And to you in another.I will but it to you this way. Was the Scriptures that I used to a believers. or to non- believers. Non-believers is already condemned. | ||||||
