161 | Kin, too much ritual in baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Love Fountain | 27384 | ||
Dear Robert, Welcome to the forum, and thanks for your response. You state,"the moment we trusted Christ we were baptised by the Holy Spirit into one body", and I agree with you. How did your trust in Christ come to you? Was it by hearing or reading the Word which is Jesus(John 1:1) Who gives us to drink of the water of everlasting life(John 4:14) and Jesus Whos Word lives forever(1Pet 1:25)? By comparison of John 4:14 and 1Pet 1:25 and many other verses in scripture I believe Jesus is the Word and the Word is the (Spiritual)Water we drink to everlasting life. What do you think? You say,"this baptism is not ritualistic and occurs at the moment we rest in Christ", can you please explain what baptism is to you, so I can understand what you believe and please tell me how do we rest in Christ according to your belief? Thanks for your input, I look forward to hearing more from you, as I search for understanding of God's will. I think each part of the body helps each other grow in understanding and faith. Bless you, Love Fountain Romans 10:14 How, then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?(NIV) |

Dear Kin, I am intrigued by your persistence, but I'm not quite sure what you want to say. You keep referencing to the water which will wash away our sins. I think others are saying that we are saved by grace and baptism is an outward sign of that grace we have through Jesus. It has appeared to me that most of the baptisms in the Bible that I have looked into, before the Holy Spirit came forth it was always proceeded by the Word of God. Eph 2:8 says by grace we are saved through faith and Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So far I'd say grace, faith and the Holy Spirit come by the Word of God which is Jesus. 1Pet 1:25 says the Word of the Lord lives forever and is the Word of the Gospel that is preached unto us and John 4:14 says that whoever drinks the water that is given by Jesus will have everlasting life. In comparison I would say that the Water is the Word which is Jesus. What do you think? I think what you are trying to say(please correct me if I am wrong) is that you feel we give way too much ritual to baptism and have somehow neglected the true meaning of what baptism is, which is eating and drinking the water of life which is the reading and absorption of the Word given through Jesus from God. Am I close? Bless you, Love Fountain |

164 | Why the actual word "God"? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 27239 | ||
Dear Nolan, I agree, I think we should "honor Him and adore Him" also, but why would His name(YHVH) be unappreciable. By His name being unappreciable doesn't this seem like He may not want us to Honor Him or adore Him? I tell people my name as a beginning point, so we can begin a bond in friendship and grow together in love. If my name was unappreciable what would my friends think? I am sure God has His reasons but these are somethings that come to my mind and when I meet Him, this is one of many questions I have to ask. What do you think? Thanks, Love Fountain |

Dear Kalos, Thanks for this info and the prior info regarding the Oxford Unabridged. Regarding "akin to Old High German got(god)", do you think or know if "got(god)" has anything to do with the "J's"(Jehovah or Jesus) we now read in our English Bibles? I believe I have heard that the J's came from German also? Coincidence? What do you know? Thanks, Love Fountain |

Dear Nolan, Thanks for the website. I still wonder where the word "God", in English ever came from. I wonder what is the first use, in English, and who used it? I think we are using God's name in vain, if we are not still using it the way He said was His name,(i.e. "I Am"). What do you think? But then again His name (YHVH) is unappreciable, including unpronounceable according to the Hebrew dictionaries I have looked at. The Jews at the website you referred me to said we should never try to pronounce or call on His name. This is interesting to me because God says He is the God of love, but some feel we shouldn't pronounce His name and I wonder how that is love? Thanks for your time, Love Fountain |

Dear Ray, I agree with you on the capitalization of the NIV text. I was going to capitalize but felt funny about changing the wording, the translators of the NIV had done, so I quoted verbatim. I believe any reference to God or Jesus should be capitalized and it makes me wonder why the NIV didn't do this? What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain PS. Are you a Bible salesman and trying to sell me a NKJ or NASB?(just kidding!)LOL |

Dear Ray, Excuse me for butting in. I am newer here and have spent most of the time reading and not writing, but this time I think I may be able to help. Please see Rev 11:11, where satan is referred to as the angel of the bottomless pit and then see Isa 14:12, where satan is referred to as lucifer, which means morning star and then see Job 38:7, where the morning stars sang together. This should help you with singing angels. Bless you, Love Fountain PS - Please consider as a suggestion, not capitalizing any name of satan or anything that has to do with him, I believe he does not deserve a capitalized recognition. What do you think? |

169 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 26847 | ||
Dear Nolan, I'm confused by your response, please help me to understand what you are saying. Are you saying that water baptism is an act of righteousness, to be shown outward as a public display of the inner baptism that has already occurred? What is the inner baptism and how do I understand it? Thanks, Love Fountain |
