1 | John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true | 1 Cor 1:17 | CDBJ | 111342 | ||
Dear compudex, Much to your dismay, the church is in perfect agreement with regard to baptism. The church as mentioned in Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. This church is not an organization but an organism, it’s alive, and it is the body of Christ consisting of members that have put ALL of their undivided faith, hope, trust and reliance in one object, the person of Jesus Christ. All of those that are relying on anything other then UNDIVIDED faith in Jesus Christ aren’t in fact members of that body, but they don’t realize it because they are deluded into thinking that, what ever it is that they are trusting in, besides the finished work of Christ, is part of God’s plan when in fact it isn’t. It’s faith alone in Christ alone for salvation, otherwise it isn’t true salvation. 2 Tim. 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Repentance comes to us from the Greek word METANOIA and it means to change one mind from what they are thinking now, anything besides faith alone in Christ alone, to a singleness of thinking in the person of Jesus Christ and what He has done. The ones who have done this are the only ones that understand that it is significant. Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. I hope you understand this, CDBJ |

Dearest CDBJ, Yes, that is exactly what I just said. The car parked in the garage is red. The garage has a red car parked in it. The car is still red however you say it. Peace to you, compudex |

That’s a good one! Does that mean if I paint myself red and sit in the garage long enough that I will become a car? That’s the same as being believing in Christ and being baptized for salvation. Not matter what color you painted the car after it was a car, it didn’t make any difference just as long as it was a car in the first place. There are probable thousands of true believers in Christ that never made it to water baptism but they died having a new nature in Christ. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Maybe I will paint myself green tomorrow to see if it will make me envious! Have fun and have a great day in the Lord, CDBJ |
