1 | How do these passages relate 1 John 2:4 | 1 John 2:4 | Mommapbs | 51417 | ||
"And this is His commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. Those who obey God's commandments live in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Holy Spirit lives in us." 1 John3:23-24. When I asked Jesus Christ to be my personal Savior from sin,I was "born again" or regenerated by the BAPTISM of HOLY SPIRIT (see Titus 3:5). I have obeyed God's command to believe in the name of Jesus. It is ALL from Him and through His Grace that I am saved. "And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by HIS baptism in water and by shedding HIS blood on the cross - not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit also gives us the testimoney that this is true. So we have these three witnesses - the Spirit, the water and the blood - and all three agree." 1 John 5:6-8 (EMPHASIS, mine) "And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life and this life is in HIS Son. So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life." 1 John 5:11-12 (EMPHASIS, mine) I have been obedient to God's command. I believe in the testimony that God has provided. I have believed and I have been baptized into His name by the Holy Spirit. As an outward expression of my belief and a desire to follow the example set my Jesus, I too have entered the waters of baptism, but NEVER would I entrust my SALVATION to bathwater! I KNOW WHOM I have believed, and am persuaded that HE is able to keep that what I have committed unto Him against that day! (2 Tim 1:12) |

Grace and Truth: this exchange of views on baptismal regeneration has gone on for days. Clearly, there are those on this Forum who subscribe to positions that differ from yours.From your posts, I understood your agenda in asking this question and chose to answer accordingly. 1 John 2:4 says, "If someone says, "I belong to God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and does not live in the truth." Are you suggesting that those who do not agree with your interpretation of Mark 16:16 (only those who believe and are baptized, meaning water immersion, will be saved) are disobeying God's command? Are you willing to go so far as to call those who do not subscribe to this brand of theology "liars?" |

I ask a simple question, if you want to read into that's up to you! If there is no relations please just say so, then I'll try another question. I can have notice that most on this forum believe basicly the same, I just thought I'd inject some thought provoking question into the forum, that's why it's here is'nt it. What if I was a nonbeliever and I ask the same questions, would you not answer them? It just so happened that I believe, what the bible says concerning faith, repentance, confession,and water baptism into Christ. It's different from what you believe, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it on this forum does it? One other note: I notice that speaking with tongues, has been a subject that has been a topic longer than baptism, and no ones tired of it! | ||||||
