161 | why must we been baptize | Acts 2:38 | bowler | 206557 | ||
Hennie Peter was preaching the gospel of the salvation of Jesus Christ to the Jews and then they asked him the following - Acts 2:37, 38 Now when they heard this they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once they heard the gospel message they were convicted of sin and it grieved them so they asked what they should do about it. Peter tells them to repent of sins and be baptized. Jesus told the disciples to go out and baptized disciples - Mathew 28:19, 20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I command you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. It is a command of Jesus that disciples of Christ, those who come to believe in Him and repent of sin, that they get baptized. Baptism is a symbol of going down into the death and grave of Jesus Christ because He died for your sins by going down into the water and you dying to sin, and coming up out of the water, out of the grave and of death and of your sin, to the resurrection of life in Jesus Christ as a symbol of His resurrection from the dead erasing our sins. Because Jesus was resurrected we too will be resurrected. Baptism is a public declaration of what you have done in Jesus, repented and been born again into eternal life by Him. If you have been saved, you should obey Jesus and be baptized by a body of believers and join a body of believers and learn more about Christ by fellow shipping with them. blessings abound, bowler |

162 | question of interpretation | Acts 4:32 | bowler | 206969 | ||
tachminite Please go through the previous posts you made when you first came to see what others said to you in answer to part of this question.

163 | Question on Interpetation | Acts 4:34 | bowler | 206968 | ||
tachminite The rule of making a literal interpretation based on the intent of the author to his audience was ignored. The rule of determining what type of Biblical literature it was was violated. The intent of the author was to give a history of what happened during the birth of the church - it is not a treatise on theology, or a letter about Christian normatives for behavior and practice. The rules that were broken should be followed. The response to the interpretation is the application - hermeneutics. The interpretation drives what applications fit the interpretation. In your original post when you first came here you wanted to know what to do about getting in an interpretation for those who believe that living communaly is a Biblical interpretation of Acts 4:32-36. The answer is going to come from understanding what the church was realy doing, the circumstances, and why the author wrote about it. blessings abound, bowler |

164 | who is truly saved? How can we be sure | Acts 16:31 | bowler | 206678 | ||
doclinda2 Acts 16:29 - 31 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved"? They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your whole household." Acts 2:37, 38 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do"? Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit." Romans 10:9, 10 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 1 John 4:1, 2 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. A person is saved if they repented of sins, asked for forgivness of sin, believes that Jesus died and rose again, confesses Him as Lord, period. Those are the only the requirements. Your question was "who is truly saved", those who confess Jesus is Lord in the flesh, that is that He is God and died and rose agains, are the ones who are truly saved. And you can't be sure who is saved. Question - do you know for sure that people who act right and do right have actualy sincerely in their hearts done the requirements because they say so? No, you don't. Question - do you know that people who don't act right and do right have not done the requirements? No, you don't. We are not fruit inspecters who go around determining who is and is not saved, that is not our job it is God's job. James says I will show you my faith by my works. John says there are moral indicators of the saved. Paul says the flesh and the spirit are constanly at war and sin, which dwells in the believer, does the sin, not the believer. Jesus says many will say to Him, "Lord, Lord" trying to get into heaven who have done works in His name, but they will not get it and He will say, "I never knew you". Sanctification cleans up the believer over time and good fruit as evidence of salvation will result. No believer will stop sinning until Jesus glorifies them at the rapture, or until they go to heaven. Doing your best is all you can do - keep going to church, praying, studying, woshipping, and praising God. Romans 8 teaches that you can't lose your salvation at the end 31-39. Paul talks about every single thing that could make a charge against a believer to unhinge their salvation, but none of them can beat the love of Christ Jesus to the believer. No one who is saved stays in sin and never comes out. The Holy Spirit will convict them and they will repent to Jesus. blessins abound, bowler |

Hennie It is not clear from your question what verse or passage you are asking about? And your question is not as clear as it could be either? No offense to you, but it makes it harder to answer you when one has to try to figure out what you mean. The church did not start until Acts chapter 2, it did not exist while Jesus was among us, and it did not exist in the Old Testament either. That makes the second half of your question not work because there was no church in the Old Testament "era". There was Judaism in the OLd Testament "era", and it was only for Jews, and "aliens" who chose to convert to Judaism. The church when it started was composed of Jews, Gentiles, Samaritans, and Barbarians. Romans chapters 1 through 3, and 11 talks about the Jews and the Gentiles as both being members of the church as equal partakers of Christ. The Judaism of the Old Testament was only for the Jews. We are called the church, the "ecclesia" because because that is what Jesus told Peter He would build. Jesus tells Peter whose name means "little rock", that He Jesus, will build His church upon this "boulder", meaning Himself. The church is only the building of the body of believers in Jesus Christ, it is built on His body and blood, what He did at the cross. The promises given to the New Testament church are different than the promises given to the Old Testament Jews. The Old Testament Jews were promised a promise land, inheritance to the eternal throne of God in the form of a man, the Messiah to come save Israel from oppression, and the Son of God come to heal and to free the captives from bondage. The New Testament church is promised the removal of the eternal damnation for sins and eternal life with God, is promised a priest who intercedes eternally to remove sins, is promised a king to rule over the elect of God who are saved, is promised a prophet who fulfills all the requirements listed by Moses in Exodus chapter 18 to lead the people to God. The New Testament has better promises to us than the Old Testament did to the Jews. Why then, live according to the Old Testament?

Doc, I agree completely with you, as I think my post points out the "promises" given to each group were different, not meaning of salvation, but of various parts of covenantal dispesning of God's will "about His promises to Israel of a promised land in which to literaly dwell, of salvation from literal oppression, of a king to rule on the eternal throne". What I did not mean to imply is that they were saved any other way than be faith alone. Sorry for the misunderstanding. By the way, I think I mistakenly answered the same question again, thining that "doclinda2" was the one who posted this one. Hennie asked the same question a second time and I addressed your point here from the same viewpoint that you and I both hold about the salvation part as being by "faith alone" for both groups. blessings abound, bowler |

Doc Excellent point there, really Excellent! Point well taken, thank you once again. I will be checking out those links. This has made me come up with a question, but I am going to take my time and try to phrase it in simple terms for all to discuss (I hope). blessings abound, bowler |

Doc I fully agree with everything cited in the Canon of the Council of Orange except the end here - quoted from - http://www.creeds.net/ancient/orange.htm According to the catholic faith we also believe that after grace has been received through baptism, all baptized persons have the ability and responsibility, if they desire to labor faithfully, to perform with the aid and cooperation of Christ what is of essential importance in regard to the salvation of their soul. We not only do not believe that any are foreordained to evil by the power of God, but even state with utter abhorrence that if there are those who want to believe so evil a thing, they are anathema. We also believe and confess to our benefit that in every good work it is not we who take the initiative and are then assisted through the mercy of God, but God himself first inspires in us both faith in him and love for him without any previous good works of our own that deserve reward, so that we may both faithfully seek the sacrament of baptism, and after baptism be able by his help to do what is pleasing to him. We must therefore most evidently believe that the praiseworthy faith of the thief whom the Lord called to his home in paradise, and of Cornelius the centurion, to whom the angel of the Lord was sent, and of Zacchaeus, who was worthy to receive the Lord himself, was not a natural endowment but a gift of God's kindness. As I am quite certain the end is not what you were referring me to, please do not take this as some form of argumentation on my part. I am merely wishing to make known my distaste for the end of the Canon of the Council of Orange as it contradicts the concept that it is indeed by Christ alone, by grace alone, and through faith alone that the graces of God are conferred as it most clearly states that baptism is a sacrement conferring the "grace" which will enable to one to afterwards "keep" the faith. After all that was said beforehand in the 25 points and the first paragraph of the conclusion it becomes a most interesting statement about how the aforementioned 25 points are possible as made to be possible by the qualifying requirement to aprehend such things in the very last paragraph! blessings abound, bowler |

Doc No my good man of God, you glossed over nothing at all, you were quite clear. I agree completely about the "grace" and "means of grace" that you have outlined here, I take no other. I would like, if you please to take the time, when you can to elaborate for me at some length, with the strength which God supplies, about how the Baptist Divines would have "nonetheless been willing to express your quote from the Canons of Orange"? This would be most informative. What I am struggling with is that very Roman Catholic idea that after receiving "According to the catholic faith we also believe that after grace has been received through baptism, all baptized persons have the ability and responsibility, if they desire to labor faithfully, to perform with the aid and cooperation of Christ what is of essential importance in regard to the salvation of their soul." And "so that we may both faithfully seek the sacrament of baptism, and after baptism be able by his help to do what is pleasing to him." Whereby one having recieved the "sacrament of baptism", "all baptized persons have the ability etc.". - As if the ability comes from the grace conferred by baptism? Thank you. blessings abound, bowler |

Doc Yes I do understand that the term "catholic" means universal, as in the "universal church" and that that is how it was being used in the Canons of Orange. However, the Canons of Orange were drafted by members of the Catholic Church in 529 with Caesaurius Arles, presding as head of the synod, and sent to Pope Boniface II for final approval. Which is why I did not hesitate to idenditify the end paragraph, which intimated that regeneration comes about by way of baptism, as being derived from "Roman Catholicism", as the Council of Orange sent the Canons to Pope Boniface II in 530 for final approval. The whole thing stemmed from St. Augustine's answer to Pelagianism. Augustine was Catholic, the members of the Council of Orange were all Catholic. Both Augustine and the church at the time taught baptismal regeneration as the process by which any came to be those "who are actually regenerate". Some of the oldest divines believed various things, both John Calvin and Martin Luther believed in baptismal regeneration "as the process by which that effectual grace of regeneration is conferred". But in the interests of not aruguing with you I will desist from setting forth a lengthy discourse with quotes to prove that and will leave off in qualifying my statement that that is what they taught and believed. I like your London Baptist Confession of Faith, thank you very much for all your very good links. And I have no doubt that other of the great divines did not teach baptismal regeneration as you so rightly say. blessings abound, bowler |

Doc In the name and for the sake of Jesus, now I am going to have to qualify my statements to you. I pray to do so with grace. I am going to say this with the greatest respect for you and for the great divines okay? I got my information from John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion and from Martin Luther's Commentary on Romans and not from uniformed credo-baptists at all. I was very careful to make sure that what I was saying was fact and not from secondary sources of the original authors.

Let him who says that baptism is given for the remission of sins only, and not in aid of future grace, be anathema. What was truly given in baptism, is falsely said to be given in the confirmation of it, that he may stealthily lead away the unwary from baptism. John Calvin was giving an answer to some saying that there are promises which are not obtained by baptism, but that after baptism greasy oil were applied to confer that grace of the Holy Spirit as the attainment of that grace. John Calvin argues that these same heretics are saying that baptism does not confer the grace which enables the believer to grow in Christ because they wrongly believe that one can be baptized and then receive a second grace with oil and a prayer without having first obtained faith. He differentiates elsewhere between faith, and grace and states that grace is obtained through baptism and says scripture upholds this principle. He clearly states that what is to be given at baptism is an aid of future grace. He also clearly believed that baptism was for remission of sins, and he did not refute that those whom he was speaking of did also as he says, Let him who says that baptism is given for the remission of sins only.

Having been baptized into His death, we merely strive to obtain the blessings of this death and to reach our goal of glory. Just so, when we are baptized into everlasting life and the kingdom of heaven, we do not at once fully possess its full wealth of blessings. We have merely taken the first steps to seek after eternal life. Baptism has been instituted that it should lead us to the blessings of this death and through such death to eternal life. Therefore it is necessary that we should be baptized into Jesus Christ and His death. Commentary On The Epistle To The Romans, By Martin Luther, translated by J. Theodore Mueller, page 85.

Next Post, bowler From Luther's Small Catechism What is Baptism? Baptism is not water only, but it is water used together with God's Word and by his command. What is this Word? In Matthew 28 our Lord Jesus Christ says: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. What benefits does God give in baptism? In Baptism God forgives sin, delivers from death and the devil, and gives everlasting salvation to all who believe what he has promised. What is God's promise? In Mark 16 our Lord Jesus Christ says: He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not will be condemned. How can water do such great things? It is not water that does these things, but God's Word with the water and our trust in this Word. Water by itself is only water, but with the Word of God it is a life giving water which by grace gives the new birth through the Holy Spirit. St. Paul writes in Titus 3 He saved us in virtue of his own mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life. This saying is sure. What does Baptism mean for daily living? It means that our sinful self with all its evil deeds and desires should be drowned through daily repentance and that day after day a new self should arise to live with God in righteousness and purity forever. St. Paul writes in Romans 6 We were buried therefore with him by Baptism into death so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father we too might walk in newness of life. Direct quote - http: double front slash www.rapidnet.com single front slash squiggle sign jbeard single front slash bdm single front slash exposes single front slash luther single front slash martin.htm Luther in His Own Words from The Large Catechism All from The Large Catechism of Martin Luther translated by Robert Fischer It remains for us to speak of our two sacraments, instituted by Christ. Every Christian ought to have at least some brief elementary instruction in them because without these no one can be a Christian. First we shall take up Baptism through which we are first received into the Christian community. Moreover, it is solemnly and strictly commanded that we must be baptized or we shall not be saved pp. 80 to 81. Hence it is well described as a divine, blessed, fruitful and gracious water for through the Word Baptism receives the power to become the washing of regeneration as St. Paul calls it in Titus 3:5. Thus faith clings to the water and believes it to be Baptism in which there is sheer salvation and life p 84. He who believes and is baptized will be saved that is faith alone makes the person worthy to receive the salutary divine water profitably. But it becomes beneficial to you if you accept it as Gods command and ordinance so that baptized in the name of God you may receive in the water the promised salvation pp 84 to 85 Yes it takes a tremendous amount of sweat to study church history, so thank you sincerely for making me study the first time around!

LovemyLord7 No offense meant you need a Strong's Concordance and a Bible with a good referrence column. Here is a start though off the top of my head - Acts 2:24 Acts 10:40 1 Corinthians all of chapter 15 Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

177 | Paul's circumstances writing Rom 8:31-39 | Rom 16:23 | bowler | 206617 | ||
nps50 Paul was likely writing from Corininth when he had Terius write the letter to Rome - Romans 16:22 I, Tertius, who write this letter, greet you in the Lord. It was about the year 56 to 57 AD and Paul was in his third missionary journey near the end. Paul was probably at Corinth - Romans 16:23 Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother. Pheobe probably was the one delivering the letter - Romans 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, how is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea. Paul intended to come for two reasons to Rome - 1)To allow the church at Rome to take part in a collection while on his journey to Spain - Romans 1:24 going to Spain, hoping to be helped on my way by you. 2)Paul intended to come to Rome to preach the gospel - Romans 1:14, 15 I am under obligation to both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. There is something interesting here - the church at Rome was Jewish and Gentile, but Paul does not mention here his desire to preach to the Jews and to the Gentiles, he mentions preaching to the Gentiles and the Barbarians, the wise and the foolish. This is a play on words Greeks were considered to be wise and Barbarians were considered to be fooish. And these two groups are who he wants to preach to, but why? Rome was a very cosmopolitan city, sophisticated, and full of intellectuals and educated people. In verse 13 Paul writes that he does not want them to be unaware that he has been planning to come and has been prevented from coming. The implication is there that he is answering to a charge that he has been unwilling to come. Then in verse 14 he speaks of intending to preach to the wise and the foolish. He is letting them know he intends to preach to the wise, that he is not reluctant to come do so, perhaps there has been a charge that he is reluctant to preach to those who are his intellectual superiors at Rome. He says in verse 16 that he is not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of salvation to the believers, first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles. Romans 8:31-39 cannot be divorced as "circumstances surrounding Paul when he wrote 8:31-19", from the circumstances surrounding Paul when he wrote the whole letter. There was one circumstance, one occaission, he was settig forth his entire theology to the church at Rome before his arrival there to prepare them for his preaching that he intended to do. Romans chapter 8 is part of a much broader stroke of the pen - it is part of the chapters on sanctification and deals with the aspect of sanctification called Christian perseverance. Romans is broken down into parts - Romans 1:1-7 Greetings Romans 1:8-15 Introduction Romans 1:16, 17 The Theme Romans 1:18-3:20 Need for the gospel Romans 3:21-5:21 Justification Romans 6-8 Sanctification Romans 9-11 Israel Romans 12-16 Application It is unclear from your question if you meant what were Paul's reasons and occaission for writing the passage, or what was he doing in his life apart from writing it when he wrote it? The first answer would be that he was preparing the church at Rome to hear him preach. The second answer would be that Paul was near the end of his third missionary journey and was writting from Corinth. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
178 | Paul's circumstances writing Rom 8:31-39 | Rom 16:23 | bowler | 206643 | ||
nps50 I would caution against assuming that the occaission, now that I understand you more clearly, for Paul writing about Christian perseverance in Romans 8: 31-39, was that "Paul was being adamant in saying nothing could separate him from the love of Christ" as if he was at the time facing serious adversity. Here is why - Chapter 8 of Romans starts with the phrase "Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ ". Paul starts writing chapter 8 in answer to chapter 7 in which he states that the flesh is battling the spirit and that one sins when one does not want to, but that it is sin which dwells in the believer which does the sinning and not the spirit which wars against it. At the end of chapter 7 Paul says, wretched man that I am, who will save me from the this body of death? So then on the one hand he serves the law of God, but on the other with the flesh the law of sin. Hence "therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". Paul moves on through the passage to say that we have the mind of Christ and the Spirit of Christ. Then Paul moves on to that he considers the sufferings of this present time not to be worthy of the glory that awaits. He is making a theological point about the sufferings that occur to all are not worthy of the glory to come. He does not mention and is not trying to point out some specific personal suffering, he is talking about all Christians suffering. He moves on to explain that all of creation is also suffering and waiting for all Christians to be changed, so that they too will be changed. He goes on to say that we are the first fuits of the Spirit and that we groan inside for the redemption of our bodies. It is at this point that we see he has been talking in answer to chapter 7 all along about the answer to the power of the flesh as being the process of redemption. Which is why I said in the previous post not to divorce 8:31-19 from the broader concept Paul is writing about in chapters 6-8, which is sanctification. Paul is talking about how suffering works and the mind of Christ works in sanctification here in chapter 8. Then Paul moves on to how the Holy Spirit plays a role in this sanctification process as intercessor. Then he moves on and begins to talk about "all things" work for good, meaning suffering and good things too to work out this sanctification. Next he moves to the process of the will of God - foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, sanctification, glorification, and election. Then he comes to a big theological point from 31-39 where he says, since all of what I have said so far is true - then who can bring a charge against the elect to condemn them? And this is the major point of the whole chapter and the sole reason for the end of the passage you are asking about. The whole book of Romans is one big book on Paul's theology, which is why I gave you a break down, chapter by chapter of what is going on in Romans from beginning to end. In 31-39 he lists and expounds most adamantly on all the reasons why a charge cannot be brought agains the elect, giving every single thing that could try to unhinge the position of a believer out of the will of God as being saved and refuting every single thing as having any valid ability to separate us from the love of Christ. He was not imprisoned when he wrote Romans - he was at Corinth with the believes I listed in chapter 16 for you, if you go there and read chapter 16, it lists the top people who were there with him at Corinth, Cenchrea is at Corinth. If you see chapter 15 at the end he is on his way to Jerusalem to give them the collection from Macedonia. If you see chapter 1 he wishes to come to them when he finishes doing this and make a collection to take to Spain after visiting Rome. Hope this clears it up for you. God Bless you. blessings abound, bowler |
