That's right! | ||||||
202 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50979 | ||
This is the point I have been trying to make with others, they always ask what about the thief on the cross? The fact is Jesus was not dead when he forgave the thief. Heb.9:15-17 after you read this you will understand that the thief did not have the chance you and I have because the new testament was not in forced when Jesus spoke to the thief, so when you refer to the thief's being saved by Jesus is because the "Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins" Matt 9:6, but everybody after the resurrection must obey Mark 16:16! | ||||||
203 | Mark 16:16 what does it say? | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50765 | ||
"Scripture clearly commands Christians to do so" You state that scripture clearly commands christians to do so! If one is commanded to do what the Lord said, is it no for his/her salvation? Your belief is we are saved by grace alone through faith! What about Hope,Rom 8:24; 1Peter3:19-21 water,baptism. |

Mark 16:16 still says "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. KJV Acts 10:48 gives you another problem: Here it is commanded, can you now disreguard a command of an apostle? | ||||||
205 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50759 | ||
If you understood Holy Spirit baptism, you wouldn't speak another word! Holy Spirit baptism happened only two times in the book of Acts, chapters 2,10 and no other place! But let you tell it, it happen all over the bible! When the light shines darkness will flee! | ||||||

You let me know which manuscripts these verses are not found in, and show you different. | ||||||
207 | Mark 16:16 what does it say? | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50716 | ||
My dear friend Tim, Who ever told you that Mark 16:16 wasn't in many manuscripts is wrong! In fact it is in the oldest manuscripts! It's funny when it come to this statement in the bible people want to throw it out, why not just except it obey and teach it like the apostles did! If the believers of today were back in the first centry what a fight that would be over what Jesus said in Mark 16:16. Do you think Peter, Paul,James,John and rest of the apostles would except what you are telling me about what the text says, or would the Holy Spirit be pleased? I notice your dependence on the "(like the infamous thief on the cross)" my question to you on him and him alone is did he hear the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ? Romans 1:16 says it is God's POWER TO SAVE MEN! Did the thief hear that? And if not, and he didn't, does that exclued you and I? Can men be saved without hearing the gospel? The thief was saved without hearing it! The gospel is what tells men to repent and be baptized Matt28:18-19; Mark 16:15-16 it in the preaching of the gospel, Acts2:36-41, in the book of Acts when the gospel was preached and it was the preaching that told men to obey the Lord's word and it was done in most cases. Those who didn't except the gospel were lost. You say that baptism is not essential to salvation, is that your belief? If you were to talk with the apostle Peter, do you think you could convince him of the same? How about Jesus, do you think you could convince Him on your belief? |

Hank! my friend what does Mark 16:16 say? Who is it speaking to today? Can it be ignored? Should we take it out of our bibles? | ||||||
209 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50643 | ||
Steve! There is no contradiction here, Col 2:12 can help you see the point you bring up in your statement here "one would have to say that water and Spirit baptisms are synonomous and/or instantaneous at the time of immersion". In Col 2:12 Paul says that God operates at the time of immersion through faith! vs. 13 also said He hath quickened us together with him, (CHRIST)! | ||||||
210 | Can God save us the way HE WANTS TOO? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50642 | ||
Joe! I see you stopped at vs.18 in Gal 3, if you would have kept reading you would get all of what Paul was saying, vs. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. This is God's promise to us! I am so glad that this thing about baptism is not a mistery to me, and I am glad that I'm a baptized Holy Spirit filled man of God. 'Praise the Lord'. We need to teach what the bible says, all of it. This would not be an issue if Jesus had not said it. Jesus said it, I believe it, and that settles it! | ||||||
211 | New life? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50639 | ||
"I still believe if a person prayes to make Christ Lord with no chance of being baptized and dies, say while in the hospital, that person would be saved. However, any person who refuses to be baptized by immerson has a fatal flaw in their faith. I hope this does not confuse you". Believe me I'll never be confused about a bible subject such as this, I love talking about God's word, and I try daily to live by it. But about your last statement, that's not a biblical concept, although I heard it before, no one in the new testament other said anything like that! You must show scripture for that belief! |

212 | New life? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50636 | ||
Joe, I don't quite understand you point here! "So, to answer your question, our new life starts apart from baptism internally, and the promise is maked externally by baptism". Paul saids we are buried with Christ by baptism,into his death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life, Then he explans how this is done in the next six verses. | ||||||
213 | Can God save us the way HE WANTS TOO? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50626 | ||
"and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith" --Philippians 3:9 You are still looking at things that pertain to the Law, this is what Paul was telling the church at Rome about Abraham. "but true faith is accompanied by repentance and leads to obedience. And all of these are gifts of God". This is the whole point (obedience)! In Acts 2:38 the people were (obedient) to what Peter said. Now did everybody (obey)? No! But they that gladly recieved his words were baptized. Acts2:41 |

214 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50621 | ||
You are not handling the word of God correctly, for you to twist it like you are doing is wrong! Acts 8:26-39 will not allow you to get away it, I suppose the water to which the eunuch refered to is the Holy Spirit also, but God's word won't let you take it apart like you have been doing. vs.39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. This is the one baptism in Eph 4:5, 1Cor 12:13, Romans 6:4, Col 2:12. Yes the Spirit is there doing the operation on the heart by faith in Jesus Christ, He (quickened) us made us alive! in Christ Jesus. |

215 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50617 | ||
What you must understand is there is no history of the thief on the cross, that's why I used the "yes or no" and for you to assume for me you are the one adding to God's word, and if you go back and read my statement you will note that I said "it doesn't matter what the thief did" but it matters what we are to do and that's hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and believe and obey it! 2nd Samuel 22! |

Please give scriptures to show how you come to your conclusion! | ||||||
217 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50608 | ||
If I answer 'yes or no' the thief did not know about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that's something people today must know! So the real question is does it matter what the thief recieved or did not recieve? The bible doesn't say weather or not he was baptized! |

218 | Luke 7:29-30? | Acts 2:38 | Grace and Truth | 50599 | ||
Romans 6:3-4 is the one baptism in Eph 4:5! | ||||||
219 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | Grace and Truth | 50596 | ||
When did Jesus give the great commission? When did Peter preach the first great sermon on the death, burial and resurrection of the Christ? Did the thief obey the gospel? Did the thief know about the resurrection of Jesus? Does the thief matter when we are told we must hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to be saved! You can run, but you can't hide from the truth! When will you have the oportunity to hang on the cross with Jesus so he can tell you what he told the thief? Baptism is important to God, or else He would not have told Jesus to tell us to do it! Have you ever considered that? | ||||||
