101 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22295 | ||
That's a risk I'm not willing to take! | ||||||
102 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22293 | ||
There is only ONE baptism -- not one of water as opposed to one of Spirit. (Eph 4:5). Baptism is immersion in water. | ||||||
103 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22292 | ||
Repent is not the key in Acts 2:38. It is a conjunctive phrase that says BOTH repentance AND baptism must take place first and THEN you will have remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit | ||||||
104 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22291 | ||
NO! You have to be baptised for the remission of your sins (Acts 2:38). Since sin is what separates us from God and baptism along with repentance is what remits our sins (package deal) you are saved simultaneously with being baptized | ||||||
105 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22290 | ||
I agree that water does not save -- it is the Blood of Christ. But, and this is a big But, it is only in BAPTISM that you can come into contact with the cleansing blood of Jesus. You have to be baptised into his death. I believe you are saved by baptism, but it is not the water that saves. It is the submissive obedience to the command of Christ (Mark 16:16) | ||||||
106 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22289 | ||
Of course it is not the removal of dirt -- it is not a bath -- but it is still an immersion in water. Again, look at the custom and usage of the time where everyone knew that baptism was immersion in water. | ||||||
107 | Is this | Rom 6:3 | Tim Sheasby | 22288 | ||
When interpreting scripture we have to look at the usage of the word in the context of its day. When Jesus and His disciples spoke of baptism they understood this to be immersion in WATER. There is no evidence that this was ever anything else. In addition baptism is not something you do but something you allow to be done to you. You baptise others or are baptised by someone else. Jesus told his disciples to BAPTISE those to whom they taught the gospel. How could they do this with the Spirit? Clearly, however, this can and was done with water. Tim |

108 | When will the rapture occur???? | 1 Cor 15:52 | Tim Sheasby | 22285 | ||
No offence taken. However, can you defend your viewpoint biblically? Opinion is not enough when we are dealing with the word of God -- only a sincere love for the truth (2 Thess 2:10). I have had to change my thinking on many things as I have studied deeper into God's word. Sometimes even to the point of disagreeing with doctrines I have believed for 35 years as a Christian. Still If you can show me, from Scripture, that I am wrong then I will change my view. In Christian Love Tim |

109 | why is baptism important | 2 Cor 5:17 | Tim Sheasby | 22284 | ||
NO! The baptism of water and the baptism of spirit are the SAME baptism. (See John 3:5). Where in the Bible does it say that water baptism is an outward symbol of an inner reality? NOWHERE! Romans 6:3 again -- you are Baptized into Christ. Ephesians 4:5 -- there is only ONE baptism. Spiritual rebirth ONLY takes place at the physical immersion (Baptism) in water. Tim |

110 | is baptism important | John 3:5 | Tim Sheasby | 22278 | ||
Point taken. The one Baptism I referred to earlier is the Christian baptism. The Greek word for baptize, for others reading this discussion, simply means dip or immerse. I believe the reason the King James translators simply transliterated and anglacised the word was because USAGE had changed from the original practice of immersion to that of sprinkling or pouring. If they had translated it as they should have there would not be so much confusion today about the need for baptism by immersion. |

111 | is baptism important | John 3:5 | Tim Sheasby | 22197 | ||
Ephesians 4:5 says that there is ONE baptism. I believe the Bible implicitly. I believe there is only ONE baptism that we need in order to be saved and that is the one Jesus commanded (Mark 16:16 et. al). This is an immersion in water. As this passage shows the birth in water and the birth in spirit are simultaneous events (Check the Greek grammar if you don't believe me). | ||||||
112 | why is baptism important | 2 Cor 5:17 | Tim Sheasby | 22193 | ||
Another point: Romans 6:1 following shows that it is only by sharing in the death of Christ that we can share in His resurrection. And we die with Christ when we are baptized. Why are there so many "Christians" who cannot accept that they must be baptized to be saved? Satan has done a wonderful job of confusing us when we read the word of our God. |

113 | why is baptism important | 2 Cor 5:17 | Tim Sheasby | 22192 | ||
You are only a new creature when you are "in Christ". What we have to determine then is "How do I get into Christ?" Gal 3:27 says "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." (NASB) This shows that you must be baptized into Christ -- Can't find any other way to get into Him and therefore to become a new Creation. | ||||||
114 | Does Not Mean Baptism | John 3:5 | Tim Sheasby | 22191 | ||
The Greek grammar in this passage cannot be talking about physical birth and spiritual birth as two separate events. The grammar here clearly indicates that the birth of water and the birth of Spirit are simultaneous. It is taking it out of its original linguistic context to try to make this refer to 2 separate events. Besides if Jesus is talking to people who have already been born physically (Duh!) then why should he tell them this requirement for salvation? | ||||||
