Hello Grace and Truth Again, I agree these baptisms are the same--baptism in the Holy Spirit. Steve |

Hello Grace and Truth John 6:63 (ESV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Romans 6:4 (ESV) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. If the Spirit is the one who gives life (and He is), then the baptism which enables the newness of life must be baptism of the Spirit. Ephes. 4:5 (ESV) one Lord, one faith, one baptism, In promoting unity, Paul mentions several things we are to rally around. To be the most accurate, I would say baptism into Christ is the baptism here; but since the Spirit gives life and Christ is the giver of life, then the Holy Spirit is the baptizing agent--not water.

You are not handling the word of God correctly, for you to twist it like you are doing is wrong! Acts 8:26-39 will not allow you to get away it, I suppose the water to which the eunuch refered to is the Holy Spirit also, but God's word won't let you take it apart like you have been doing. vs.39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. This is the one baptism in Eph 4:5, 1Cor 12:13, Romans 6:4, Col 2:12. Yes the Spirit is there doing the operation on the heart by faith in Jesus Christ, He (quickened) us made us alive! in Christ Jesus. |

Hello Grace and Truth Of course Acts 8 is speaking of water. I was just trying to knock down this logical fallacy you are building. If we say Eph 4:5 is water baptism, then there is not nor ever has been Spirit baptism, which is a contradiction of Scripture that you've already been given. To avoid this contradiction, one would have to say that water and Spirit baptisms are synonomous and/or instantaneous at the time of immersion. But this can't be true because we have a documented case in Acts where the Holy Spirit indwelt the believers before baptism. It's bad enough that you attempt to prove that God added to the condition of salvation, but now you prove He's inconsistent in that new administration. Steve |

Greeting Steve! As I was reading your post, I was reminded of a point I came across in my research on Acts 2:38. As you know, I hold that only the plural command 'repent' is associated with the plural pronoun of the phrase 'for the forgiveness of your sins'. Assuming that this were not the case, then Acts 2:38 would contradict Acts 10:47. According to the baptismal regeneration position, one repents, is baptized, and then receives the gift of the Spirit. However, in Acts 10:47, those listening to Peter repented, received the gift of the Holy Spirit, and were then baptized. How could this be? :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
