Dear Justme, I am glad that we can continue our discussion. You wrote:If we carry your thinking then shouln not women be silent and in this foeum find out id we are addressing a man, and not instruct him? No, not altogether. This passage in the bible that you refer to is addressing the matter of worship not discussion. 1 Corinthians 14 34Let your[1] women keep silent in the churches, also 1 Timothy 2 12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. Women fill a very important roll in the church. They teach the children, keep in touch with the shut-ins and also coordinate any activity that will take place on the church grounds etc. Women are just not to take a leadership role in worship service. Examples would be preaching where capable men are present, song leading, and leading a prayer. You wrote:In all sincerity, what about the thief on the cross? I get the question a lot. Jesus had not yet died. Therefore He had not been raised either. By all rights the thief on the cross was still under the Mosaic Law. But because Jesus was not yet dead He could see the mans heart and new he had repented of his deeds, so Jesus did for him just as He did for all the others before He died who believed on Him, He forgave him and the scriptures say took him to paradise. Luke 23:43 You wrote:Also I once visited a lady in a cancer ward. she was near death, she praid to repant of her sins, and asked Christ to be her Lord. She died quite soon after. What happened to her soul? It is hard for someone to accept it when a person dies. They see the person in pain and feel that God will soon take them and their pain will be all over and they will go to be with the Lord. But the bible teaches that for a person to receive that crown of glory they must be obedient to the faith (Rom 16:8) and observe all things that Jesus taught (Matt 28:20)if this was not the case then its to late. You wrote:Our pastor sprinkled her as a sign of what baptism is. He made it clear it was not baptism, but she had some peace. Baptism as you know means to be emersed. The bible says we are BURIED with our Lord in Baptism. Romans 6 4Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Colossians 2 12buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. Sprinkling water on someone is no more concidered baptism than if you sprinkle a few grains of sand on a casket and call them buried. This act that your pastor did was not scriptual for one, and merly while she was still alive gave her some peace. But by no means did it constitute her being saved from her sins. For not only is baptism scriptual it has to be administerd scriptual. And that means "for the remission of sins" I hope I have answered your questions and also I hope we can discuss future questions as well. Your friend in Christ, Raven |

Hello Justme, If the lady you speak of did not obey the gospel, be buried with the Lord in baptism and worship in a manner that is pleasing to God then God would have no choice to condem her. Think of it like this, when Adam and Eve were in the garden before sin that was grace that God even created them. Then because of man stubborn will they sinned and were cast out of the garden. Genesis 3:15 was basically as we know it from the bible when God set the plan of salvation in motion. That was grace also to give sinful man a second chance. The difference though is that it is conditional. We must do as God says or else. God sent His Son for the whole of humanity. That is a price no one could pay but him. You better believe it's conditional! If you were a bad student in school and the school had all they were going to take from you and exspelled you then you are out. But what if your parents plead your case and they let you come back, but this time its under certain conditions. We have to accept the conditions that God has set forth in His word to be admitted to that Heavenly home. After we die its up to God to judge. Hebrews 9 27And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, I hope this has answered your question and also that you do not think that I am being mean hateful toward you. The bible is open to all, we just have to obey it. Your friend in Christ, Raven |

Greetings, Raven I just have one question on the "need" for water baptism in the context of salvation: When was the thief on the cross baptized? The one Jesus told would be with Him in Paradise? I eagerly await your answer. 2nd Samuel 22 |

When did Jesus give the great commission? When did Peter preach the first great sermon on the death, burial and resurrection of the Christ? Did the thief obey the gospel? Did the thief know about the resurrection of Jesus? Does the thief matter when we are told we must hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to be saved! You can run, but you can't hide from the truth! When will you have the oportunity to hang on the cross with Jesus so he can tell you what he told the thief? Baptism is important to God, or else He would not have told Jesus to tell us to do it! Have you ever considered that? | ||||||

Hello Grace and Truth You are the one who is running and hiding. Answer the question--When was the thief on the cross baptized? Steve |

If I answer 'yes or no' the thief did not know about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that's something people today must know! So the real question is does it matter what the thief recieved or did not recieve? The bible doesn't say weather or not he was baptized! |

Thank you, srbaegon!! And Greetings, Grace and Truth! You wrote: "The bible doesn't say weather or not he[the thief] was baptized!" But, by your own belief, you MUST ASSUME he was baptized, in order for him to be in Paradise with Jesus. That being said, you are assuming something which is not written(or even implied) in Scripture. And to do that, you must add to the Perfect Word of God. And are we allowed to add to the Word of God? May the Grace of our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

What you must understand is there is no history of the thief on the cross, that's why I used the "yes or no" and for you to assume for me you are the one adding to God's word, and if you go back and read my statement you will note that I said "it doesn't matter what the thief did" but it matters what we are to do and that's hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and believe and obey it! 2nd Samuel 22! |

Question I would like to ask...when was the thief forgiven? Before or after Christ's death? If it was BEFORE...then how is it that forgiveness of the thief applies to us who live AFTER Christ's death? Through HIM, TOFT |

TOFT, can you explain what the time frame in your scenario has to do with Christ's forgiveness? --Hank | ||||||
12 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | TOFT | 50777 | ||
Christ forgave the thief under the OLD law...we are under the NEW law now...Jesus' NEW testament hadn't begun until He had died...because with a new testament there is a nessecity of the death of a Testator, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:16-22). We CANNOT apply the thief on the cross on the basis of salvation. He was forgiven under the OLD law, not the NEW. The thief on the cross...is a good example of humbleness and Jesus' power on earth to forgive. But it doesn't apply to us, because Christ is NOT on the earth and His NEW law is in effect. Hope that helps to explain. Please read the following site for more details: http://www.tftw.org/Tracts/saved_thief.html Through HIM, TOFT |

Greetings Toft! Two points if I may my friend! 1) I thought that the New Testament taught that no one could be saved under Law (Rom. 8:3 among many others). So, how could the thief's salvation differ from ours? 2) Secondly, how is the New way better if it requires both works and repentance, while the Old way only required repentance?
