1 | CAN JESUS DICTATE THE TERMS OF SALVATION | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50430 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I certainly know what the Lord told the crowds to do. Matthew 4:17 (ESV) From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." John 6:29 (ESV) Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." No mention of baptism. He surely would not have told unbelievers one thing and disciples another, would he? Steve |

2 | CAN JESUS DICTATE THE TERMS OF SALVATION | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50443 | ||
Be real! What he did there was to prepare the people for his death! Also in his ministry he said his time has not yet come! | ||||||
3 | CAN JESUS DICTATE THE TERMS OF SALVATION | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50449 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I am being real. If the Lord Jesus, during His earthly ministry, did not preach water baptism as necessary, then He changed the conditions of salvation after the resurrection. I cannot follow someone so inconsistent. Steve |

4 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50460 | ||
Look at Luke 7:29-30! Our Lord taught more about baptism than you know. Mark 11:27-33; John 3:3-5;Matt28:18-19. If the scribes, the elders, chief priest rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being NOT! baptized of him. Then what are you those who believe like you doing to the counsel of the Lord Jesus Christ? John 12:48-50. | ||||||
5 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50474 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Luke 7:29-30 and Mark 11:27-33 each speak of John's baptism (baptism of repentance) and are not pertinent. We're speaking of salvation. Matt 28:19 commands baptism, but there is nothing about a salvific effect. John 3:3-5 isn't speaking of baptism at all. This is a reference to Ezek 36:25-26. Steve |
||||||
6 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50480 | ||
The point in Luke 7:29-30 is the rejection of the counsel of God. Matt 28:19 is the great commission and that's about saving the world with the gospel. John 3;3-5 is about a new life in Christ being born again, getting into Christ-baptized into him! | ||||||
7 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50567 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I agree with you, except we have a difference in what is intended by "getting into Christ-baptized into him". You see it as water baptism, I as Spirit baptism. Steve |

8 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50586 | ||
There's only one baptism! Eph.4:5. | ||||||
9 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50594 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth That is correct. It is the baptism into Christ by/in/through the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) which was announced by John (Mark 1:8) and Jesus (Acts 1:5). It's not water. Steve |

10 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50599 | ||
Romans 6:3-4 is the one baptism in Eph 4:5! | ||||||
11 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50602 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Again, I agree these baptisms are the same--baptism in the Holy Spirit. Steve |

Please give scriptures to show how you come to your conclusion! | ||||||
13 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50612 | ||
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.

14 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50621 | ||
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. |

15 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50632 | ||
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 |

16 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Morant61 | 50634 | ||
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 |
