1 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Not Specified | sniper | 76341 | ||
Is hearing the gospel necessary for salvation? | ||||||
2 | Is repentance necessary for salvation? | Not Specified | sniper | 76817 | ||
I have posed two questions in a succession. They were: Are hearing and confession necessary for salvation? I believe the general consensus is that they are necessary, and in the course of discussion I believe it is agreed that belief is also necessary. I would now like to pose the question: Is repentance necessary? | ||||||
3 | Belief in God? | Not Specified | sniper | 78723 | ||
What does it take to believe that there is a God? How does one know that there is a God? Other than philosophical arguments what is the evidence that there is God? How does a person born in the most remote wilderness know that there is a God to be sought after? Does it ultimately come down to faith? | ||||||
4 | disciplerami, must it be immersion? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77081 | ||
Just a quick note. The word was never translated. It was transliterated. That is, the tanslaters for King James made the greek word into an english word. A proper translation would have been "immerse". | ||||||
5 | Why transliterate "baptizo"? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77082 | ||
Why did the KJV translaters transliterate "baptizo"? Was it on purpose? Is so, why? | ||||||
6 | Why transliterate "baptizo"? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77092 | ||
Okay. But, do either pouring or sprinkling fit with the meaning of the word "baptizo"? | ||||||
7 | Why transliterate "baptizo"? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77102 | ||
Could the early church have been wrong? The meaning of the word is immerse. What do you think? | ||||||
8 | Why transliterate "baptizo"? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77118 | ||
Bible teaching, patterns, and examples are of immersion. A New Testament church must adhere to these guidelines. It appears to me that some adhere to a tradition of pouring/sprinkling. It may be that Protestant churches immerse merely out of tradition, but as I have stated a New Testament church must follow the Bible. I am curious to see your paper. |

9 | disciplerami, support forgiveness last. | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77124 | ||
Yes, the first thing to do is to make a radical and complete change of heart and life. Then, let each one of you be baptized after this change (repentance) has taken place, and the act of baptism be performed. But, why is baptism performed? Neither you, nor the experts you cite have answered that question. The answer is in the very next phrase of Acts 2:38. Why stop short of finishing the verse? It finishes,"for the forgiveness of sins." | ||||||
10 | What does it mean? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77149 | ||
Tim, What then, does "for the forgiveness of YOUR sins" mean? Is it just a statement dangling without meaning or relevence to the sentence? Why is it there? Have all the translators of various versions made some kind of mistake? You may choose to deny the obvious, but I cannot. Although I studied Greek in college, I am hardly a scholar. So, I cannot argue intelligently about Greek sentence structure. But again, all the translations I have read make quite clear that forgiveness of sins follows repentance AND baptism. I really don't understand the hang up. It is not as though you are earning anything. You are just doing what God has commanded, and in the end you receive a gift which never could have been earned. To God be the glory. |

Support? You should not make this statement without, at least, attempting to prove it. Thanks, sniper |

I will respond in more detail later, but I believe you misunderstand my position slightly. I do not believe in any way "Baptizing and christening a young child may be fine as a symbolic ritual." I believe in immersion, I do not believe in the calvinistic sin nature, I believe children are innocent, and I believe that salvation is needed by adults for the forgiveness of sins. | ||||||

If repentance and confession are necessary is that not salvation by works? No. Neither is it salvation by works if baptism is necessary. It is like you didn't even read what I posted. I said, "It is not as though you are earning anything. You are just doing what God has commanded, and in the end you receive a gift which never could have been earned." If you do anything out of an attitude that God owes you a return then you are wrong. Luke 17:9 "He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? Luke 17:10 "So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'" |

I have a feeling that you are never going to change you position on this issue. I will move on with one last parting shot. You are really having to do alot of grammatical gymnastics to come to your stance. I know you don't see it that way. God Bless, Sniper |

Baptism as necessary to salvation is not a contradiction of scripture. Scripture states clearly that baptism is for the forgiveness of sins, and it all fits perfectly with a doctrine of salvation by grace through faith. As for the thief on the cross, that argument has been answered many times on this forum. | ||||||
17 | What "norms" can we disregard? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77701 | ||
Rev 22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; Rev 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. |

Dear Tim, Are you suggesting that these words apply only to the book of Revelation? Are you suggesting that we may add, take away, or alter the words of any book which does not within its confines give us such a warning as the one on Revelation? As for Hank's post I mean to point out that these are not mere quibbles on which we can "agree to disagree". Sniper |

I am not trying to cut off debate. I am pointing out that these are not moot points as Hank says. These disagreements over baptism are serious ones. In my opinion it is statements like Hank's that are an attempt to cut off debate - to duck in declare the points moot and say that he does not want a response. If there are differences, then someone is right and someone is wrong, it is not possible for both to be right. That is my point. By the way, do you believe that that it is acceptable to add or take away from a book of the Bible which does not give a specific warning such as the one in Revelation? | ||||||
