21 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Jayell | 166619 | ||
You are in desperate need for teaching of scripture. The phrase "baptized into Christ Jesus...baptized into His death" has nothing to do with water baptism. Paul is using the expression baptizo in the same way he employed it in 1 Cor 10:2, where he spoke of the Israelites as having been "baptized into Moses." Baptized into in that sense means "identified with," "linked to." Paul says, "All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed youself with Christ"(Gal 3:27) He's speaking of union with Christ: "The who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him" (1 Cor 6:17). Coty; in order to apply the bible to your life, you must FIRST correctly interpret the scriptures of that bible. | ||||||
22 | Ephs 4:30; 1:13-14 | 2 Tim 1:12 | Jayell | 165812 | ||
Before Christ became my Lord, I remember watching pastors on T.V. and thinking....what a joke! The church was the last place that I wanted to be. The Bible has a way of showing us ourselves. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.(Rom 3:11) Sure we have freedom of choice, but when it came to us choosing to seek God; WERE WAS IT THEN? You must take in account God's sovereignty and providence. Remember that GOD IS ON THE THRONE. Since you claim to be saved, ask yourself this question; Would I (freely) choose to leave Jesus Christ and return to a world destined for hell? If your answer is no then you truly have the mind of Christ.(1 Cor 2:16) But if you had to ponder over that question then you have to examine youself. Jesus says, "I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never parish."(John 10:28) You get that NEVER parish, there's nothing about our free-will; He said "I GiVE" If God left it up to us and our FREEDOM OF CHOICE then heaven would be completely empty.(1 Cor 15:50) Being born-again means a new desire to follow a new Will, GODS WILL. If God has a limit with His children then where is it? One, Five, Thirteen sins? You'r not sure right! Well I am. "For this is the covenant that I wil make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the 'Lord; I will put my laws into thier mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to my a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighboour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greastest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and thier iniquities will I remember no more.'" (Heb. 8:10-12) | ||||||
23 | John 13 footwashing is it praticable | John | Jayell | 164609 | ||
Just listen to the words Jesus spoke while performing this deed, He wasn't instituting foot washing. Jesus was teaching them Christian life and service. For those in highest authority (pastors, bishops) to humble themselves and minister to the lowest persons in the pews. (Matt 20:26,27) | ||||||

There is a serious need of interpretation of scripture in the church. Acts 18:24-25;19:1-5 is not about baptism at all, it's actually about faith. Apollos was mighty in scripture, instructed in the way of the Lord and yet when Aquila and Priscilla heard him teach they took him aside.(v.26) Why? Because he only knew the baptism of John, that is to say he didn't fully understand Christian faith (Christ's death,burial and resurrection). And they expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly (v.26) Now then; the disciples of chapter 19 are those of John the baptist but continued under the teaching of Apollos (both being in Ephesus; compare Acts 18:24 and 19:1). These were the same men whose jealously led them to questioned John of Jesus's authority to baptize (John 3:25,26). Some of them thought John to be the Christ (John 3:28). When Paul asked them "Have you recieved the Holy Ghost since you believed?" he wasn't interested in their spirituality. He was simply locating their faith. To sum it up Paul led them to a faith in Jesus; telling them not to believe in John but to "BELEIVE ON HIM THAT SHOULD COME AFTER HIM,THAT IS, ON CHRIST JESUS" (v.4)cf. Luke 3:15,16. In Acts 16:30 the questioned was asked "what must I do to be saved?" and Paul and Silas simply answered "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (v.31). That is the only condition! For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel (1 Cor 1:17a). For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth (Rom 1:16). Paul knew perfectly the word FAITH that he preached (Rom 10:8,9) he knew that was made unto salvation. Baptism is an outward show of an inward experience.(Rom 6;3,4). We must be very careful not to seek justification by a sign.(1 Cor 1 :21,22) THE TRUTH IN LOVE. |

Paul is not talking of water baptism, starting in (1 Cor 12) he's speaking of spiritual gifts. The body he's refering to is a spiritual body, nothing physical. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized" not by water but by The Holy Spirit! John the Baptist spoke of this spiritual union by Christ, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the HOLY GHOST, and with fire" (Matt 3:11). Paul also said, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). The water baptism is a work we do ourselves but Jesus is the one who saves us/baptizes us into His body. Truth in love |

26 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Jayell | 164450 | ||
Why did Christ feel the need to be baptized? He had no sin, no need to be saved. Why? To fulfil all righteousness. (Matt 3;15) Jesus life and ministry is our blueprint as Christians. By baptism, Jesus was merely identifying Himself with us. It was an act or righteousness on the part of him who had become, as to the flesh, an Isrealite, to take His place with the believing remnant. By baptism we are identified with Christ, it's our way of pledging allegiance to Him. In Ephesus Paul encountered twelve disciples (Acts 19:1-7) and we know that they were John's (baptist) disciples from only 1 question. "Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said Unto John's baptism." (v.3) John baptized his discples and Jesus His. see John 4:1 It has always been a means of association; NEVER SALVATION. Jesus makes it perfectly clear that we will be condemned for unbelief not baptism. (Mark 16:16b) | ||||||
27 | why satan wasn't dealt with right away? | Rom 16:20 | Jayell | 164352 | ||
Look at it this way; when a person does something bad he is thrown in jail, correct? When Satan and the angels rebeled against God they were cast down and chained also. (2 Peter 2:4. Jude 6) Scrpture tells us "UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT" and that is what Jesus Christ brought in; (John 5:22;9:39) God foretold this in Gen 3:15. So, the devil who is a sinner from the beginniing (1 John 3:8) an adversary of God and man (1 Peter 5:8) was found GUILTY. His trial was held at calvery! He's like a man cast into prison, brought before Judge and Jury JESUS CHRIST, tried,convicted and sentenced. Now He awaits the Judge who will return EXECUTIONER (Revelation 19:11-16). And we all await that the DOOM OF SATAN. THE TRUTH IN LOVE |

SAVED BY FAITH The thief on the cross is a perfect example of salvation through Christ alone. He didn't enter heaven under any different condition than what is required today. He was a helpless sinner, unable to save himself (Prov 14:12) so he looked toward Christ alone to save him. I hope we all agree that this the only way to come to God. The two thieves (Luke 23:39-45) represent the two gates in Matt 7:13,14 (HEAVEN and HELL). One thief blasphemed Jesus saying, "If You are the Christ ( he doubted Jesus as Lord,cf 1 John 4:3) save yourself and us" (trying to save his sinful life,cf Luke 9:34;1 Cor 15:50). The other thief rebuked him and said,"Our deed deserve death, but this man has done nothing wrong" (Luke 23:41;cf. Rom 6:23). Taken with Matt 27:44;Mark 15:32 where both thieves are mocking Jesus this clearly shows that one had a change of mind. That's called REPENTANCE. cf. Luke 15:7; Acts 3:19. The repentant thief then turns to Jesus and said, "LORD (confessing that Jesus is Lord,cf. Rom 10:9,10; 1 Cor 11;14)remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom" (Luke 23:42). This statement shows his FAITH that Christ would be raised and he no desire for this world or his life. He chose repentance into the Kingdom (Matt 3:2) death to be raised with Christ (Gal 2:20) When we start to add to salvation things like baptism what we really are saying is, Jesus Christ is not sufficient. That was the very reason Jesus cried out on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED" (John 19:30). We can't add to perfection (Hebrews 10:14;12:2). Baptism is very important in our walk with God, it actually brings us closer to Him. (But it is a work). Salvation is by grace through faith, is a free gift, and wholly without works (Rom.2:27,28; 4:1-8; 6:23; Eph.2:8). The divine order is: first salvation, then works (Eph.2:9,10; Tit.3:5-8). |

29 | Does the Bible tell us to go to Church? | Zeph 3:18 | Jayell | 164089 | ||
Jesus thought it good to gather in the synagogue (Mark 1:21) to teach and do miracles. see Matt 4:23,12:9. The apostles gathered together to worship in the temple (Acts 3:1). You'r exactly right going to church doesn't save because it's not by works. It's the fruit (LOVE) that brings us together (John 13:34,34). Our unity in the worship of our Lord can't be taken lightly (Heb 10:25). Where we are so is He! (Matt 18:20) THRUTH IN LOVE |

30 | ONCE SAVED DOCTRINE | 1 John | Jayell | 163971 | ||
The penalty of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life (Rom 6:23). THRUOGH JESUS CHRIST work of redemption our salvation is complete (Heb 5:9). Our dept was paid by Christ at calvery, His blood has purchased our souls (1 Cor 6:20). We become God's children (Rom 8:15-17). Here's the key, unlike a normal adoption God gives us new birth (John 3;3) along with this comes a new desire for a God's will (Heb 8:10). Christ-like character (Eph 2:10, Gal 2;20) True beleivers indeed may fall frequently and foully, but not totally nor finally from God (Rom 8:35-39); the purpose and power of God (Eph 1:11), the purchase and prayer of Christ (John 17;2,9,11,12,18-26) the promise of the gospel (John 4:14) the everlasting covenant that God has made with them (Heb.10:15-18) ordering in all things and sure, the indwelling of the Spirit which has sealed us until the day of redemption (Eph.1:13,14). THE THRUTH IN LOVE |

You can't do the will of the Father unless you first have faith in His Son(Jesus). Many will say"Lord,Lord," but few will call on the NAME of the Lord(JESUS). One can not truly call until called upon(John 6:65) Man can be fooled by words,but God knows they come from(Rom 10:10,Mark 7:6). It's faith ALONE. TRUTH IN LOVE. |

34 | What do you think Genesis 6:1-4 means? | Gen 6:1 | Jayell | 161135 | ||
Hello,I believe when we take these scriptures in context we will find our answer. I believe that the sons of God are Seths sons(GEN 4:25,26). Gen 6:2 says they took them wives,Jesus told the Sadducees at the resurrection we won't marry because will as angels of God(MATT 22:30) Furthermore in GEN 6:3,6 God specificly speaks toward MAN,nothing implicating angels. Man crossed crossed the the line drawn by God(GEN 3:15) Seth sons and Cains Daughters(GEN 4 :11,16) For further confirmation read the genealogy of Mary (Luke 3:38). I hope this is helpful. | ||||||
35 | Is belief in the bible needed to be save | NT general Archive 1 | Jayell | 161132 | ||
Yes,Jesus was telling them to teach of Him. But He also told them to WAIT for the promise(ACTS 1:4,5). The reason that they were to tarry is found in JOHN 16:12-15) Jesus said (in your gospel) I have yet many things to say to you,but you can not bear them now. You see the Holy Spirit had to come inorder to reveal truth and that's what Peter preached to Isreal(ACTS 2:16-18) before preaching Christ. However gifted moral, or refined, the natural man is absolutely blind to spiritual truth (2 Cor. 3:14, Eph. 4:18). The Peter of the gospels rejected Jesus(MATT 26:69-75)THE SPIRIT FILLED PETER OF ACTS STOOD UP TO ISREAL,LIFTED UP HIS VOICE and PROCLAIMED JESUS AS LORD. That's why you must take the old with the new. Jesus is the gospel,but the Holy Spirit is the author of scripture. My faith lies in Jesus alone and He once told Satan;"Man shall not live by bread alone,but EVERY word of God" The gospel has given me salvation(ROM 1:16)and the epistles is what gives me direction(ROM 6:4,COL 1:10,1 THESS 2:12). I have truly prayed for you and I believe God at His Word(MATT 5:6) With Love | ||||||

What is your definition of accurate and reliable? Let"s start with the gospel. Jesus commissioned the church to,"Go ye therefore and TEACH all nations"(MATT 28:19)if you don't believe the N.T. to be the W.O.G. then what are you teaching? The apostles were taught by Chist and went on to write letters inspired by the Holy Spirit(JOHN 14:26). Paul says he was taught by Christ,when anyone (by the Holy Spirit) prays and studies WHOLE bible there's no question. The apostles teachings(it's called DOCTRINE)ACTS 2:42 and they continued in it. If you think the epistles to be nothing more than reliable then you have no guidance(2 TIM 3:10) READY TO BE TOSSED TO AND FRO(EPH 4:14) The reason I KNOW the N.T. is God's word is; I KNOW HIS VOICE!

How can you believe on Jesus and not His word? That's like a person who's paralized purchasing a car. They will NEVER be able experience the thrill of shifting gears,pressing on the gas and clutching the steering wheel around a tight curve. They can only look from a distance,that's it. When Christ saves us He also gives us a hunger for the truth.(John 16:13). 2 Tim 3:16 says "ALL SCRIPTURES" You can not take parts of the bible(gospel)and disreguard the rest of the N.T. GOD has a strict "warning" for you. READ Revelation 22:19 The Truth in love |
