1 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Nehemiah | 4679 | ||
Charis, I respect your interpratation of the scriptures as they are accurate. I received the same understanding. I wish that we wouldn't catagorize beliefs and interpritations such as some who debate this topic. The approach taken here (meaning in this dialogue) is wrong. Lets not debate. We are all on to something. Lets all compare notes, so to speak. The Lord Jesus is intending for us (all three of us who have been invlolved in this question answer session). The mistake that the gentleman is making is quoting another man's ministry. The answer is not in man. We all error. The truth is in the word. The word does not contradict itself. While Jesus was baptising he baptised in the name of the Father, son and Holy Ghost. There is no interpretation needed. But, once he released the authority to his apostle he was to baptise in the name of Jesus. How could folks have baptized in Jesus Name before Jesus. That is not a contradiction but rather a historical trail that leads to new testament foundation. The bible explains that we are to go out and "preach Jesus" to all the world. What does that mean? That means, in my understanding, just what it says. To preach Jesus. It never, NEVER says "go and preach the trinity. I am not disputing nor will I dispute with any one the existance of the trinity. Don't have to. The trinity is symbolic of one spirit. We need to come together and get a REAL UNDERSTANDING of what Jesus wants us to learn. The only regret that i have is that there are divisions among those of us that really want to the truth and to live for out Lord. By us putting lables on ourselves, such as "Jesus Only", Trininty, etc. we create a desire to be RIGHT. My hope, as beleiver and follower of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, without denomination, is that we all share our biblical knowledge and create less interpretations instead of more. My advice to the gentleman who responded to my question is that you put your trust in no man and don't let another interpret for you. Although I am not "JESUSE ONLY" whatever that could mean... I am babptized in the name of Jesus, who is the father, son and Holy Spirit according to the Word. And everything I do is in the Name Of Jesus. Take that as literally as one wants, or as inspecifically. Matt 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector's booth; and He *said to him, "Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him. Even Matheuw was intsructed to Follow Him. Praise the Lord for Saints who are activly seeking the truth. I love you guys in the name of our Lord. |

2 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | kalos | 4685 | ||
Nehemiah: You write: "My advice to the gentleman who responded to my question is that you put your trust in no man and don't let another interpret for you." Is anyone aware of the fact that Christ gave to the church teachers (Eph 4:11)? Can someone explain to me, since Christ did give to the church teachers "for the edifying of the body of Christ", then where do we get off running around telling people to pay no attention to other men (teachers)? Is there not an ounce of logic here? You write: "The mistake that the gentleman is making is quoting another man's ministry." Again, since Christ gave to the church teachers, how can it be a mistake to quote someone else? I would rather quote one of God's teachers -- although frequently their writings are too Biblical, orderly and logical to be understood by the masses -- I would rather quote someone who knows what he's talking about than to write long, rambling, incoherent, imcompetent, irrelevant, incomprehensible, nonsensical, divisive diatribes against the postings of others, postings which obviously many neither understand nor try to understand. You write: "The answer is not in man. We all error. The truth is in the word." If there is no value in reading or listening to man, then let's just shut down all the Christian publishers and bookstores, all the Sunday school classes (since they are inevitably taught by people), all pulpits (how dare the preacher presume to interpret the Scirptures?) and, while we're at it, we may as well shut down the Forum. The reason being that not only is the Forum made up of humans, but also that many write long-winded answers without once citing a single verse of Scripture. Or else they totally ignore RELEVANT Scriptural answers to their questions when those Scriptures contradict what they already made up their mind to believe. Additionally, whether a person believes in the Trinity or doesn't believe in the Trinity, the following quotation is still true: “It would be inappropriate to argue that Jehovah’s Witnesses or various other groups are non-Christian because they deny the doctrine of the Trinity, but that the United Pentecostal Church can reject the Trinity and still be considered Christian.” |
