21 | 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) | ||||||

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 |

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. |

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. | ||||||

In no way am I throwing out baptism, it's very important in our Christian lives. You should of scrolled up and read some of my responses before you jump to conclusions. Let,s take the whole bible, not just a few scriptures. Read Acts 3:19; were is baptism? "What must I do to be saved?" And they (Paul and Silas) said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house" (Acts 16:29-34). And then they were baptized; believe it or not baptism is for believers (Christians). Although they are closely related, salvation comes first. It,s foolish to even think this to be a part of salvation. O.K. let,s take a different approach; if a Christian never took communion would he be in trouble? Christ did say "Do this in rememberance of me" Luke 22:19. The truth is communion, baptism are things that we do out of obedience. Nothing to do with salvation, that is by faith through grace alone. Lion, think about the process of baptism for a moment.......you are the one doing the WORK. "And it's not of yourself: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8,9). | ||||||

27 | Abel,s sacrifice acceptable, Cain's not? | Genesis | Jayell | 192910 | ||
To give an answer in-short it would be that Abel had faith in God and Cain did not. The bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. I don't believe that is was the offerings themselves but the offerers. Before the tabernacle was built God told Moses He only wanted those with willing hearts to give. Paul echoes that in Corinthians when he says,"Give according to what you have purposed in your heart." It would not have made any difference to God what Cain had offered because He knew Cain's heart. Sorry I didn't give scripture. Jayell |

28 | The serpents curse | Gen 3:15 | Jayell | 175405 | ||
Jesus once said, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). When God spoke in Gen 3:15 He was speaking of Christ (John 1:14) as the physical offspring of Eve, yet Himself God who is Spirit (John 4:24). That offspring includes all believers in Jesus Christ; though we are flesh, we are children of God (Rom 8:14-17). The seed of Satan is basically the same, even thoough he is a spirit he has human seed. That's clear from John 8:44 where Jesus calls the unbelievers at hand; Children of Satan. Genesis 3:15 divides into 2 catagories: BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS. One is either a child of the Most High God or a child of the Most Low Satan. The Truth in Love JAYELL |

29 | 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. | ||||||
30 | Cause of anger in children? | Jer 17:9 | Jayell | 174403 | ||
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners (Romans 5:19a). That deep seeded anger is called SIN and we all recieved it from our birth parents and they recieved it from theirs (all the way back to Adam). "Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin ented into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" (Romans 5:12). Every child has to be taught to do good, the evil is already in us. I have heard it said "The selfishness, greed, anger etc. a baby displays would be murderous if he wasn't so helpless!" The bible says "By nature we are children of wrath" (Ephesians 2:3)cf Romans 7:20. Sin is the cause but thank God that we can be BORN AGAIN and that is by through faith in Jesus Christ. That's a decision every child must make on his own. SIN CAN'T WIN. (1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-57) THE TRUTH JAYELL |

31 | 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 |

32 | Repentance is Sorry or Walk From Sin? | Matt 3:8 | Jayell | 206769 | ||
Read 2 Cor 7:8-11, I do not believe that it's simply saying "sorry" and moving on. Repentance is to stop a current direction to turn around and face God. This can only be accomplished by His grace ( 2 Tim 2:25 ) He alone can lead us from darkness to Light ( Rom 2:4 ). "Sorry" will never cut it, that's the worlds apology or better yet; Excuse for sin.

33 | GOVERNED BY LOVE | Matt 7:21 | Jayell | 160779 | ||
Matt 7:21-23 is picture of someone trying earn their way into heaven without faith. They appeared to possess gifts,even of prophecy(the Greatest gift)1 COR 14:5. But the Lord will say; AWAY FROM ME,I NEVER KNEW YOU! So,we must be careful not to depend on the gifts,Jesus gave Judas power heal the sick,cleanse,raise the dead,cast out demons(MATT 10:4,8). It is the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT that reveals who we really are(MATT 7:15-20)see 1 COR 13:13. I believe that tongues are active today,but they must be interpeted,because they are many voices(demonic)in this world and we better know who we speak for. (1 COR 14;10) |

34 | Who is "Father God"? | Mark 14:36 | Jayell | 188375 | ||
Are you seriously considering Silvia Brown when it comes to prayer? Silvia also believes in a mother god which is pagan idolatry. Rich, you should know that God forbids any fellowship with witchcraft. (Lev 19:31; 20:6) | ||||||
35 | wipe your feet of their existance | Luke 10:10 | Jayell | 175375 | ||
If you are truly seeking the truth then the "Wiping off of the feet" doesn't directly apply to you. That was done to when a person out -right rejected the message given. When the Jews in Corinth opposed and blasphemed,Paul simply shook his garment (Acts 18:6). It was a jesture that the truth was there, but opposed. As Jesus said "It will be used as a witness against them" in the DAY of JUDGEMENT! I am thankful for you seeking, but the fact remains: Jesus said, "He that is not with me is against me" (Matt 12:30). There is no middle ground, if you were to die today all the truth that you've heard till now, but refused will testify against you. That's why the bible says, "Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your heart (Hebrews 3:7,8). I do not believe that you are beyond help, because God never promised to help anyone. He promised to SAVE those who believe in Jesus Christ. But I will say this: "He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is in Danger of eternal damnation (Mark 3:29). I believe that a person can reject so much truth that they will come to a point where they can no longer accept any truth. (Heb 6:4-6; 2 Peter 2:20,21; Luke 11:24-26) That the Unpardonable Sin. My prayer for you is to embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit, as He reveals the truths concerning Christ, Sin, Salvation etc. As God Said at the beginning, "My Spirit shall not always strive with man." (Genesis 6:3) | ||||||
36 | Pastor preaches about men body parts! | Luke 22:26 | Jayell | 172649 | ||
I believe that you should pray for him, because it seems that he's dealing with a personal issue. Nevertheless Satan has surely gotten a foothold in the man's life. Paul wrote much about a REAL MAN, "Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and GAVE HIMSELF for it, so ought men to love their wives as THEIR OWN BODIES. He that loves his wife loves himself, for no man ever hated his own flesh; BUT NOURISHES and CHERISHES it, just AS THE LORD does the church (Eph 5:25,28,29). Now, if a man's love wills him to give his own life for his wife, than surely washing dishes, changing diapers, holding his wife etc. should easily flow from that Love through that man. He might as well call God himself a wimp, because He said He would wipe Jerusalum as a man wipes a dish (2 Kings 21:13). Since Satan couldn't get Christ to sin against God, he tries to get man to sin against Christ. If I were to treat my wife that way, than what I've done is opened a door of my home to Satan. But I am not ignorant of his devises (2 Cor 2:11). This is the very reason we need discernment in the church, we should not believe every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God (1 John4:1). Your church should deal with this NOW! The next 6 weeks could effect eternity for many. THE TRUTH IN LOVE JAYELL |

37 | 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) | ||||||
38 | Is Jesus was another of God's tests? | John 1:1 | Jayell | 160667 | ||
The church that you attend is absolutely right in worshipping Jesus,because that is what the Holy Spirit does(JOHN 15:26,16:14)HE GLORIFIES JESUS! Many religions believe that they are truly praising God,(but they're not)they can't know HIM without first believing on CHRIST.(ROM 5:10)see John 8:19. Jesus made it possible (by his death)for human beings to have a relationship with God. Jesus made it clear to us that He is GOD never should be referred to as a good man or teacher,the Spirit leads us to Jesus and He leads us to the Father(Matt 28:19) You must examine yourself if you feel. By praising/worshiping Jesus you are following the first commandment. Unless you believe that Jesus is God you surely die in your sin (JOHN 8:24). | ||||||
39 | WHO SENT PRIESTS, LEVITES FROM JERUSALE | John 1:19 | Jayell | 175725 | ||
Most likely the Sanhedrin, which was the highest ruling body and court of justice among the Jews. Sanhedrin doesn't appear in scripture, instead we have the words assembly or council (John 11:47;Luke 22:66;Acts 4:15). It was made up of 71 members,(Priests,Elders,Scribes,Pharisees,Sadducees etc.) The Jews trace the origin of this to Numbers 11:16. | ||||||
40 | IS THIS VERSE HERE FOR THE CHURCH OR THE | Rom 3:23 | Jayell | 160411 | ||
WHEN THE LETTERS OF THE NEW TEST. WERE WRITTEN (ROMAMS TRU JUDE) THEY WERE SENT TO A LOCAL CHURCH(EARTH DWELLING) NOT THE TRUE(SPIRTUAL BODY)CHURCH. PAUL KNEW THAT NOT EVERYONE WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY WERE(TRUE)CHRISTIANS see ACTS 20:28-30,MATT 7:15,1 COR11:19. ROMANS IS NOT ONLY TO A CONVERTED PEOPLE,BUT TO PEOPLE PAUL KNEW NEEDED CONVERSION. THAT IS WHY HE WROTE TO THEM: "IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THAT JESUS IS LORD,AND BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD,THOU SHALT BE SAVED ROM 10:9. | ||||||
