101 | Only 900 "baptism" posts | 1 Cor 12:13 | kin | 26396 | ||
Obviously there is much confusion on the subject. And there has yet to be any Scripture to back up some of the things proclaimed. Like- Where does it say water baptism is an outward sign? The lack of Biblical support is Satans playground. Especially for those with a lack of Bible knowledge. I hope the things that are posted from now on are backed up with firm scripture. Kin |

The majority opposed Christ as well. You don't have to respond anymore to my questions, but there are people that are searching for answers that need to hear the truth. I haven't taken this subject lightly and have studied it indepth. My prayer for you is that you will take a serious look into it for yourself and don't be satisfied with the majority or even with what you have always believed. My prayers are with you. Kin |

The question "where in the Bible does it say water baptism is an outward sign?" has NEVER been answered. The reason it is not answered is because no one can or ever will find this teaching in the Bible. | ||||||

Hank, Thank you for the words of wisdom. I agree with you that the only truth there is, is the Word of God. That is why this thread started to begin with. I asked where it taught water baptism as an outward sign in the Bible, and have been bombarded with everything but Bible. Is my question not fair to ask? Should I accept peoples opinion over scripture? This discussion has definetly been pulled far from the simple answer I asked for in the beginning. It's taken paths that have caused me to sin in my responses. I regret some of the things I have said but still hang here waiting for an answer to the original question... Kin |

There was one reference to Acts 8:38 as defense for "outward sign", which is purely assumption. |

Acts 2:38 Mark 16:16 1 Peter 3:21 "this water saves you" Acts 22:16 "wash away your sins" Rom. 6:1-10 "or don't you know...?" Taking the sum of thy word and putting it in context with these passages makes it clear. As appossed to taking NO scripture and coming up with baptism is an "outward sign". Kin |

With that comment it is clear you don't understand the true meaning of baptism. Baptism is:"being buried with him (Christ) in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead." Col. 2:12 When was the new covenant established? When was the curtain ripped in two? "Or don't you know that all of us who are baptized into Jesus are baptized into his DEATH?" The thief wasn't baptized because A: The covenent hadn't been established yet, because Jesus hadn't died. B: Jesus "has authority on earth to forgive sins..." Mark 2:10 If we don't agree on this subject, I know that I'll never convince you. Study the subject out for yourself. If you come to a change of mind, let me know. Maybe I'll catch you on another thread in the forum. Merry Christmas, Kin |

113 | Kin, too much ritual in baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | kin | 27901 | ||
Thank you for your gentle response, This subject has got the whole forum in a tizzy! I agree with you that the water of life Jesus is referring to in John 4:10 is himself. It seems Jesus is helping the Samaritian woman to see there is something out there (Himself) that will fill up and completely satisfy the gaping hole in our hearts that sin has produced, without the need to keep coming back "for a refill" (the well) i.e worldly desires that man pursues. I am definetly trying to emphasize the lack of the true meaning of baptism. And the tradition of "outward sign" that is proclaimed without any scripture to back it up. I think that this subject has debated so much because there is a need to understand the Bible as a whole and going back and forth with one or two scriptures leaves things open to various interpitation. My doctrine is simply this: - Hear the Word and believe. Rom. 10:14-15 - Repent Acts 2:38; 3:19 - Confess Jesus as Lord of your life. Rom. 10:9 - Be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. Acts 2:38;22:16;8:38;Rom.6:1-10;Col.2:12;Gal.3:26-27;1Peter3:20-21...I put a little emphasis on this:) - Abstain from sins and confess those you do. Col.3:5-10;Gal.5:19-21. 1John1:9;James5:16 - Carry your cross daily. Luke 14:25-27 I believe in faith and obedience in the Word. I don't believe works saves you. Jesus provided the only way, I can do nothing to earn my salvation. But I do believe one needs a better under standing of the Word to come to that faith and obedience. Simply "believing" will save you? I don't agree. "To the Jews who had believed in him Jesus said, if you hold to my teachings you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32 You see, when we put the Word of God into practice, the truth is revealed to us. It is only then we are set free. If God commands to be baptized should I think it is beyond God to save me in such a process? When I read Rom. 6:1-10 I understand what is going on and can easily accept it! I would really like to go on about this subject, but only if you want to hear it:) I have lots more to say, but it will take some time. Further more, I am a simple guy and not very elegant in my words. So you might have to bear with me! Hope to hear from you! Thanks again, Kin |

114 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | kin | 24334 | ||
When I read this scripture, I think the writer is talking about the fact that the Bible “cuts” both ways. We can preach the Word to others and it can cut their hearts. At the same time we can be cut to the heart (see Acts 2:26-38). Hence, it “judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Think of the Word of God as a surgeon’s scalpel. Someone with cancer needs the cancer (sin) removed from their body, but at the same time wants to leave the non-cancerous tissue intact. The surgeon’s scalpel is so sharp it separates the two, cutting away the cancer and leaving the living tissue. Doesn’t the Word of God do the same thing? Cutting the sin from our lives and leaving us with life. Describing the Word as a double-edged sword I believe suggests this. Because the Hebrew writer says it is “sharper than any double-edged sword” is just emphasizing the power of the Word. I don’t think there is any deeper meaning to the different references. Kin |

115 | Rev 2:17 additional question | Rev 2:17 | kin | 15766 | ||
Considering that the 144,000 were male virgins (Rev. 14:4), I wouldn't take it for what it says. And that only because Rev. is a very symbolic book. We need to study the things of the Bible that are clear and apply them to the things that are not as clear. To derive doctrine from the book of Rev. is not wise. | ||||||
116 | Rev 2:17 additional question | Rev 2:17 | kin | 16874 | ||
Nolan, My point was not to say we can’t use the book of Rev. to derive doctrine but rather it is dangerous to use it SOLELY in order to derive doctrine. My apologies. Kin |

117 | what does second death mean? | Rev 21:8 | kin | 24835 | ||
My understanding is that the second death is the death of the soul. The first death being your physical death. Kin |

118 | Unblievers spiritually dead? | Rev 21:8 | kin | 25063 | ||
Toto,Hi again. From the passages you used in Rev.(and some others) the Bible teaches that we don't receive eternal life or eternal death until we face judgement. When a "sinner" is alive in the physical body, they are not eternally dead, they still have the chance to be saved. The first death (physical) seals the eternal fate, because they no longer have the option to choose life. But the second death (spiritual) isn't dealt until judgement day. Both are an inheritence depending who your father is while on this earth: God the Father or Satan your “father” (see John 8:44). Matt. 25:31-35 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world… Vs. 46 Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. I have some more to share but I have to run, my little girl needs my attention. Kin |
