162 | TKO, does God operate differently today? | Acts | Grace and Truth | 49950 | ||
Let's not get upset, Steve! But let's be honest about God's Holy Spirit. You mention that you seen God's Spirit at work and that He working today! And that there is not where in the bible where things have changed as far as God's Holy Spirit goes. In the book of Mark 16:17-18, And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up sepents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Now how many believers you know can handle a deadly sepent? Or drink something deadly and live without going to see a doctor? These are the miracles the bible talks about. You also mention that there's no where the bible say that these things will end, the real thing is there's no where in the bible where it says they will last forever! | ||||||

Steve! I'm not saying that God has left us without, I believe the Holy Spirit of God works through his Word Eph 3:1-4 also in chapter 1:13 it says we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, His operation is through God's Word, In the first centry they didn't have the complete reverlation of God, that's why God used signs to confirm the words of the apostles, and once the word was completly revealed through John, it was sealed. You mention Mark being suspect, remember we serve a perfect God, who is all powerful and no matter what men may say, we let God be true and every man a lair! The men who are douting the parts in Marks book have no right or authority to do so! This is where faith come in John 17:20. God's word is all we have today, and if we let men place dout in our minds about it we are of all men most miserable 1Cor15:19 because we have nothing else to let us know about God. | ||||||

"Brethren, what shall we do?" I would just like to discuss this question a little bit to understand why Peter by the Holy Spirit gave the people the answer that he gave! Is it the fact that those who ask the question knew they had to submit to something, in order to remove the guilt and sins they had committed? Or did they know that their salvation was already secured, and they could just go about their lives? They knew that they were guilty of killing the Just One, the Son of the living God, so they were looking for a way out of the mess they were in. So they ask the most important question that could ever have been asked, "Brethren, what shall we do?" I now wonder if the teaches of today had to give the answer to that question, would they give the same answer that Peter gave? Or would we get answers like the one's given on this forum! Someone said, that they were glad that they didn't have to jump through "hoops and loops" to come to Christ, how or what answer would you give then to these who asked the question "What shall we do?" Would your answer be the same as Peter's answer? Or would you take out the "hoops and loops?" I know from what I read about "hoops and loops" that baptism would be out of the question because God never included baptism in his salvation plan, and this is what you believe, am I right? Now my question is where did this teaching start That baptism is not and has never been a part of God's salvation plan? The only place in the bible that I found that was negative about baptism was in 1 Cor. 1:10-17 where the members of the corinthian church had a problem that caused division in that church about who the were baptized by! I what we learn here, is that it wasn't baptism it self, but who baptized who! Notice, vs.12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. vs.13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? vs.14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; vs.15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name. vs.16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. vs 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. The above text does not teach against baptism, but against divisions, being baptized in the name of Jesus or by the authority of Jesus Christ is the true way, and as stated in Matt 28:19 Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son,and of the Holy Spirit: There are no other places in the bible that teach anything negative about baptism or being baptized. So where did this teaching come from? Who's the author of that doctrine? | ||||||

I think the problem is weather or not we need to do what God said. The Grace of God is simply his word to us, if we did not have instructions (THE BIBLE) WE would have no hope in this life. Do you remember Naaman,the king of Syria, with leprosy, 2Kings 5:1-14 let's look at verse 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of lsrael? may I not wash in them, and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash and be clean? This came from the Lord God to the prophet, to tell Naaman what he must do to be clean. The same as what Jesus said to be save, it came from God. 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. What I learn from this is whatever God tells us to do and for whatever reason, we should do it. 1Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold to OBEY IS BETTER than sacrifice, and to HEARKEN than the fat of rams. We learn here that faith only is not enough in God's sight. "The important baptism is the baptism of the holy spirit and being born of the Spirit. John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the *Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again' [or, from above]" Compare Titus 3:5" You miss verse 5 in John 3, you must be born of the water and the spirit to enter the kingdom of God! these are the words of Jesus, and they must be obeyed! When it come to the grace of God we fail to understand what grace is; John 1:16-17 Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,(Grace) and the Word (Grace) was with God, and the Word (Grace) was God. 14 And the Word (Grace) was made flesh, and dwelt among us ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. This is how I see it, the grace in Eph.2:8-9 is the word of the Lord God. Men interpret it as "unmerited favor". I think we should let the bible interpret it. |

Make no sense! Yet God sent the Logos to save man. (That's Grace) That's the sense I'm making. |

Yes that's true, and the Logos was at his side then, Eph.1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: One and the same! God's grace was planned before the world was made. |

170 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53117 | ||
I agree with you here, but don't miss my point, there is no grace without God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the gospel! If you remove one, you have none. |

171 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53118 | ||
I could agree with all that you are saying here, (grace is found in each, by the will of the Father), but my understanding includes what Jesus tells us to do to be saved, hearing, believing, repenting, confessing the name of Jesus Christ before men and being baptized for the remission of sins, and living a faithful life for Jesus. | ||||||

Hank! Just one question, Did the Logos tell us through the apostle Peter, to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins? Yes/No |

Yes I agree with the apostle Paul, but I don't agree with your teaching. You talk about how many hold to your view of salvation and you do have a lot. Because it makes Matt 7:13,14 come to light, only few there be that find it. | ||||||

Tim, You're looking at the wrong words in the text, the word to observe is (and) THESAURUS conj. in addition to, also, including, plus, together with, as well as, furthermore, moreover. (And) is the key word that ties the two together. Repent AND be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. You cannot throw the AND out of the text! |
||||||
176 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53217 | ||
In Acts 2:38 you mentioned a (grammatical) form of this text, you say repent, is plural and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit is plural, but to be baptized is singular. Peter was speaking to a group of people, so all that he mentioned would be in the plural sense. | ||||||

I think that this interpretation cannot not be correct, simply because when it was translated, it could have been translated in the form you mentioned, but it's not. Many scholars have work many long hours to bring this text to light, now unless you are a scholar and an expert in the greek language, I would leave it alone. The reason I said this is nearly all the translations read the same way, and none that I've ever seem have read the way you are interpreteding it. In plain english it reads "REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED, EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS," if this is not what the translaters have translated they should be the one's who need to make it known that they translated the text wrong! And you and I know that will never happen because they translated it right. |

One Problem in [Thomas Nelson]'s interpretation of the word (eis, Gr.) the same word is use in Matt 26:28 "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many "for" (eis) the remission of sins". So Mr.Nelson would have to rethink his view on his interpretation. Jesus used it in the same context! | ||||||
