1021 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 50627 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth It's true we need to understand the resurrection (Rom 10:9). And no, it really doesn't matter what the thief received, as long as we understand he received Paradise that very day. BTW, I notice your "Enter" key got stuck after you finished typing. Better have it looked at. Steve |

1022 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50612 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth John 6:63 (ESV) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Romans 6:4 (ESV) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. If the Spirit is the one who gives life (and He is), then the baptism which enables the newness of life must be baptism of the Spirit. Ephes. 4:5 (ESV) one Lord, one faith, one baptism, In promoting unity, Paul mentions several things we are to rally around. To be the most accurate, I would say baptism into Christ is the baptism here; but since the Spirit gives life and Christ is the giver of life, then the Holy Spirit is the baptizing agent--not water.

1023 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 50603 | ||
Hello Raven So what you are saying is that God altered the conditions for salvation--from faith evidenced by works to faith and works. That's depressing. Here I was laying claim that Christ had done it all on the cross. I guess the Judaizers were right after all. Steve |
||||||
1024 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50602 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Again, I agree these baptisms are the same--baptism in the Holy Spirit. Steve |
||||||
1025 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 50601 | ||
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 |
||||||
1026 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50594 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth That is correct. It is the baptism into Christ by/in/through the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) which was announced by John (Mark 1:8) and Jesus (Acts 1:5). It's not water. Steve |
||||||
1027 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50567 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I agree with you, except we have a difference in what is intended by "getting into Christ-baptized into him". You see it as water baptism, I as Spirit baptism. Steve |

1028 | WHY? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50472 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I can quote people as well: 1. Mark 16:16: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." The negative proposition in this declaration is the clue to its interpretation. Christ, in these words, expresses succinctly and with amazing accuracy the exact relation that baptism bears to saving faith. The outward symbol is enjoined with no equivocation, and yet no saving value is placed upon it, for the negative proposition conditions damnation solely upon the failure to believe. The failure to be baptized does not condemn, according to the divine estimate. Now, if baptism were essential to salvation the statement would be incomplete. William Kelly expresses the correct view in his commentary: "Baptism outwardly sets forth the truth of Christ. Thus baptism has a decided value as a testimony before God and men…. Peter insists upon baptism, though he expressly guards them from thinking too much about the outward act; but the grand point is the demand of a good conscience towards God by Christ’s resurrection…. This makes baptism simply consequent on believing; but when we hear of condemnation, it is on the ground of not believing. Alas! millions will be condemned who have been baptized, yet so much the worse because they do not believe." --William Walden Howard Steve |

1029 | CAN JESUS DICTATE THE TERMS OF SALVATION | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50449 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth I am being real. If the Lord Jesus, during His earthly ministry, did not preach water baptism as necessary, then He changed the conditions of salvation after the resurrection. I cannot follow someone so inconsistent. Steve |
||||||
1030 | Can God save us the way HE WANTS TOO? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50446 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth The section referencing Eph 5:26 (5:23 above is incorrect) is the height of eisegesis. Jackson deliberately truncates the verse so that the reader is misled, not having the final important prepositional phrase that defines the washing--the word of God, not water baptism. Steve |
||||||
1031 | Can God save us the way HE WANTS TOO? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 50438 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Mr. Jackson (or whoever he refers to) is in error trying to connect 1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 5:26; Tit. 3:5 to water baptism. These are clearly workings of the Holy Spirit in spiritual baptism and sanctification by the word of God. Steve |

1032 | need for a bible-anyone | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 50418 | ||
Hello Mouse2 The Plymouth Brethren have said the same thing since their beginning concerning purity, simplicity, and truth. Guess what? They are as much (sometimes more) of a denomination as those they rail against. I should know--I'm one of them. I see the very same symptoms in the Churches of Christ. Steve |
||||||
1033 | Worship in holiness everyday possible? | Ps 96:9 | srbaegon | 50362 | ||
Hello Searcher You are correct that the simple meaning (and context) is service, but it also carries the idea that the service is toward God as an act of worship. Steve |
||||||
1034 | Any scriptures on slain in spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 50276 | ||
Hello enriched I knew what you meant. I was pointing out how unbiblical it was as John Reformed has also shared. Steve |
||||||
1035 | Salvation outside of the church | Rom 10:17 | srbaegon | 50272 | ||
Hello grubio I agree, but that was not the question. Steve |
||||||
1036 | Did the speaking in tongues end with the | Is 43:25 | srbaegon | 50264 | ||
Hello grubio Acts 2:39 concerns the gift of the Holy Spirit, not the gift of tongues. You wrote: "In church history there are various accounts of this reoccurring" Would you share some? I don't know of any before Azusa Street. Steve |
||||||
1037 | Did the speaking in tongues end with the | Is 43:25 | srbaegon | 50243 | ||
Hello Native Christian I would say only the three gifts mentioned have ceased, because they are the only three that are mentioned as coming to an end. I used your terminology to give you an indication of when the gifts end. I believe it's more accurate to say they ended when the NT was complete. Steve |

1038 | catholic and protestant salvation view | Eph 4:3 | srbaegon | 50139 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Thank you for the exhortation to remain firm to Scripture. I know enough about the Restoration movement (from a former coworker) to understand that it had a similar desire to the Plymouth Brethren (my group)--return to Scriptural truth and simplicity. They sprang up in separate geograpical areas at approximately the same time with the same intent. Yet, there are wide divisions in doctrine (esp. water baptism). So even in the interest of Scriptural purity, men fail miserably. Steve |

1039 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | srbaegon | 50135 | ||
Hello BELIKEJESUS I agree that men have abdicated their responsibilities in the local church (and the home and other places as well). This is why women run churches and are in the pastorate. However, I would not go so for to say that God has called, anointed, and ordained these women as preachers. I think they took it upon themselves because men would not. Steve |
||||||
1040 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | srbaegon | 50117 | ||
Hello justme Let me answer your questions individually. "When does culture and scripture conflict?" -- They will conflict when the culture is ungodly. "Why not have women cover their head?" -- We practice this. "Why allow women to speak in church today?" -- We don't in the meetings of the church. "Why not stone adulter's?" -- Because there is no NT command. I know the egalitarian stance. It requires a self-contradictory hermeneutic (i.e. a select passage is deemed cultural without deference to the immediate context or theme of the book as a whole). Galatians 3:28 is a perfect example. The context speaks of our position in Christ as fellow-offspring and has nothing to do with equating the sexes. Steve P.S. Srbaegon is nothing profound. My initials (SRB) followed by the company I used to work for (AEGON). |
