21 | Jesus name baptism fulflls matt 28 | Matt 28:19 | RevC | 4594 | ||
These are some great scriptures, they really give much more evidential proof of all that I have been saying. It is obvious to me that scripture after scripture support the fact of Jesus Christ being the fullness of the Godhead and the fact that the apostles recognized this thus the baptismal method of the first church as seen in the book of Acts |

22 | Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit? | Matt 28:19 | RevC | 4663 | ||
Here is some food for thought on trinity and oneness 1. Is the word trinity in the Bible? No. 2. Does the Bible say that there are three persons in the Godhead? No. 3. Does the Bible speak of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Yes. 4. Do these titles as used in Matthew 28:19 mean that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead? No, they refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity. 5. Does the Bible use the word three in reference to God? Only one verse in the entire Bible does so-I John 5:7. It speaks of the Father, the Word (instead of Son), and the Holy Ghost, and it concludes by saying, "These three are one." 6. Does the Bible use the word one in reference to God? Yes, many times. For example, see Zechariah 14:9; Malachi 2:10; Matthew 23:9; Mark 12:29, 32; John 8:41; 10:30; Romans 3:30; I Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5; James 2:19. 7. Can the mystery of the Godhead be understood? Yes. Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16. 8. Has the Christian only one Heavenly Father? Yes. Matthew 23:9. 9. Then why did Jesus say to Philip, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9)? Because Jesus is the express image of God's person. Hebrews 1:3. The Greek word for personin this verse literally means "substance." 10. Does the Bible say that there are two persons in the Godhead? No. 11. Does the Bible say that all the Godhead is revealed in one person? Yes, in Jesus Christ. II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:19; 2:9; Hebrews 1:3. 12. Is the mystery of the Deity hidden from some people? Yes. Luke 10:21-22. 13. Who is the Father? The Father is the one God, particularly as revealed in parental relationship to humanity. Deuteronomy 32:6; Malachi 2:10. 14. Where was God the Father while Jesus was on earth? The Father was in Christ. John 14:10; II Corinthians 5:19. He was also in heaven, for God is omnipresent. 15. Did the prophet Isaiah say that Jesus would be the Father? Yes. Isaiah 9:6; 63:16. 16. When God said, "Let us make man in our image" (Genesis 1:26), was He speaking to another person in the Godhead?

How many persons did John see sitting on the throne in heaven? One. Revelation 4:2. 23. If Jesus is the first and the last, why did God say in Isaiah 44:6 that He was the first and the last? Because Jesus is the God of the Old Testament incarnate. 24. Did Jesus tell Satan that God alone should be worshipped? Yes. Matthew 4:10 25. Does the devil believe in more than one God? No. James 2:19. 26. Does the Bible say that God, who is the Word, was made flesh? Yes John 1:1, 14. 27. For what purpose was God manifested in the flesh? To save sinners. Hebrews 2:9, 14. 28.

23 | Jesus name baptism fulflls matt 28 | Matt 28:19 | RevC | 4916 | ||
Joe! The judge or heresies! God bless you joe. You are much more tolerable after a good nights sleep, which I had last night. I am at work on your previous request.... it should follow shortly...however please back off of the heresy thing you are looking like a man ona witch hunt! The fact is regarding Jesus name baptism you are in over your head. The word of God gives time after time in the book of Acts the way the first church considered christian ...true christian baptism to be administered. Lets face it scripture is just not on your side in this issue! You can manipulate it anyway you want it ....however any solid student of the bible who lets God's word and His Word only decide how they live their life...sees Jesus name baptism.....So no mater what Hank Hannagraf or Gregory Boyd says any thing other than JESUS name baptism is a contradiction of the bible | ||||||
24 | Can Modes Interact with One Another? | John 6:56 | RevC | 4935 | ||
Tim thanks for your post it is very informative. I have been arguing with several concerning oneness/trinity issue ...please address the following if you get timeI would like to look at a passage in Revelation 21, which clearly indicates that Jesus is the Father. Starting at verse 5 it reads And He who sits on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new we are made new by being in Christ 2 Cor. 5:17 And He said, Write, for these words are faithful and true in Rev. 3:14 and 19:11 Jesus is called faithful and true 6 Then He said to me, It is done. compare to John 19:30, "it is finished I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. [In the very next chapter Jesus says this same thing, 22:13-16 I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost Jesus gives the water of life, John 4:10-14; Rev. 7:17. 7 He who overcomes Jesus spoke these words seven times to each of the seven churches in the beginning of this epistle, 2:7,11,17,26;3:5,12,21 will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son emphasis added. Everything in this passage points towards Jesus as the speaker, yet at the end of the passage we realize that it is God the Father. |

25 | Have I misunderstood your question? | John 6:56 | RevC | 4938 | ||
Oneness approach to How can God pray and still be God? By definition, God in His omnipotence has no need to pray, and in His oneness has no other to whom He can pray. If the prayers of Jesus prove there are two persons in the Godhead, then one of those persons is subordinate to the other and therefore not fully or truly God. What, then, is the explanation of the prayers of Christ? It can only be that the human nature of Jesus prayed to the eternal Spirit of God. The divine nature did not need help; only the human nature did. As Jesus said at the Garden of Gethsemane, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41). Hebrews 5:7 makes it clear that Jesus needed to pray only during "the days of his flesh." During the prayer at Gethsemane, the human will submitted itself to the divine will. Through prayer His human nature learned to submit and be obedient to the Spirit of God (Philippians 2:8; Hebrews 5:7-8). This was not a struggle between two divine wills, but a struggle between the human and divine wills in Jesus. As a man Jesus submitted Himself to and received strength from the Spirit of God. Some may object to this explanation, contending that it means Jesus prayed to Himself. However, we must realize that, unlike any other human being, Jesus had two perfect and complete natures - humanity and divinity. What would be absurd or impossible for an ordinary man is not so strange with Jesus. We do not say Jesus prayed to Himself, for that incorrectly implies Jesus had only one nature like ordinary men. Rather, we say the human nature of Jesus prayed. The choice is simple. Either Jesus as God prayed to the Father or Jesus as man prayed to the Father. If the former were true, then we have a form of subordinationism or Arianism in which one person in the Godhead is inferior to, not co-equal with, another person in the Godhead. This contradicts the biblical concept of one God, the full deity of Jesus, and the omnipotence of God. If the second alternative is correct, and we believe that it is, then no distinction of persons in the Godhead exists. The only distinction is between humanity and divinity, not between God and God. |

26 | Have I misunderstood your question? | John 6:56 | RevC | 4941 | ||
1. Jesus said that He would send the comforter to us John 16:7, but He also said the Father would send the comforter John 14:26. 2. The Father alone can draw men to God John 6:44 , yet Jesus said He would draw all men John 12:32. 3. Jesus will raise up all believers in the last day John 6:40, yet God the Father quickens gives life to the dead and will raise us up Romans 4:17 I Corinthians 6:14. 4. Christ is our sanctifier Ephesians 5:26, yet the Father sanctifies us Jude 1. We can easily understand all of this if we realize that Jesus has a dual nature. He is both Spirit and flesh, God and man, Father and Son. |

27 | Modes or Persons? | John 6:56 | RevC | 4942 | ||
Tim take a look at this and give me your opinion! Thanks for your sweet spirit concerning this! God Bless. I Timothy 2:5 puts it, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. In John 10:30 Jesus said, I and my Father are one. Does that mean unity? Well, I ask if that was all he meant then why did the Jews pick up stones to stone him? v. 31 Jesus asks them why v. 32, and they answered him, because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God v. 33. They understood this as claiming to be God, not claiming to be in accordance with him. So if I and the Father are one means I am God, then he must be God the Father. Some Trinitarians have tried to draw attention to the neuter gender of the word one in this passage (Gk - hen), claiming that this means that they are one in unity. However, this is the same word used in passages such as Eph. 4:4 where it says that there is one Spirit, and no one would argue that this means only one in unity. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commanded the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Yet they routinely baptized only in Jesus' name.Either they were mistaken, or they understood the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost to be Jesus. Surely the apostles didn't disobey their Lord. I could give you scriptures to show that Jesus is indeed God, however Joe!, we already agree on that supposedly but here are a few that show that he is specifically the Father who is the only God, Mal 2:10; I Cor 8:6. 1. Jesus said that He would send the comforter to us John 16:7, but He also said the Father would send the comforter John 14:26. 2. The Father alone can draw men to God John 6:44 , yet Jesus said He would draw all men John 12:32. 3. Jesus will raise up all believers in the last day John 6:40, yet God the Father quickens gives life to the dead and will raise us up Romans 4:17 I Corinthians 6:14. 4. Christ is our sanctifier Ephesians 5:26, yet the Father sanctifies us Jude 1. We can easily understand all of this if we realize that Jesus has a dual nature. He is both Spirit and flesh, God and man, Father and Son. As our Lord said elsewhere, things I have spoken to you in figurative language an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father John 16:25. Or as Zechariah the prophet said, "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one" Zech. 14:9. |

28 | Did One Mode Send the Other? | John 6:56 | RevC | 5018 | ||
Tim this is a condensed version I hope it answers your questions. I will be giving the forum a break for a few days. I'll be on vacation. I'll be back May 16 greater than I." These passages are in the Book of John, the New Testament writer who more than any other identified Jesus as God and the Father It is wrong for anyone to suppose this plural usage to mean that Jesus is a separate person in the Godhead from the Father. However, it does indicate a distinction between the deity Father and humanity Son of Jesus Christ. The Son, who is visible, revealed the Father, who is invisible. Thus, Jesus said, "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also" John 8:19 "The Father hath not left me alone These verses of Scripture use the plural to express a consistent theme: Jesus is not just a man, but He is God also. This explains the dual nature of Jesus and reveals the oneness of God. What happens to Jesus after He ascends back to Heaven? Are there two Gods now? To me Trinitarian seems more like a corporation as opossed to one God.There is only one God, who is the Creator and Father of mankind Malachi 2:10. " human and Divine wills of Christ. The Bible does indicate that Jesus had a human will as well as the divine will. He prayed to the Father, saying, "Not my will, but thine, be done" Luke 22:42. John 6:38 shows the existence of two wills: He came not to do His own will (human will), but to do the Father's will the divine will. That Jesus had a human spirit seems evident when He spoke on the cross, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" Luke 23:46. Although it is difficult to distinguish between the divine and human natures of His spirit, some references seemingly focus upon the human aspect. For example Mark 8:12 Luke 2:40 Luke 10:21 John 11:33, John 13:21. John 10:38 Father refers to God Himself - God in all His deity. When we speak of the eternal Spirit of God, we mean God Himself, the Father. God the Father, therefore, is a perfectly acceptable and biblical phrase to use for God Titus 1:4. However, the Bible does not use the term "God the Son" even one time. It is not a correct term because the Son of God refers to the humanity of Jesus Christ. The Bible defines the Son of God as the child born of Mary, not as the eternal Spirit of God Luke 1:35. Son of God may refer solely to the human nature or it may refer to God manifested in flesh - that is, deity in the human nature. Son of God never means the incorporeal Spirit alone, however. We can never use the term "Son" correctly apart from the humanity of Jesus Christ. The terms "Son of God," "Son of man," and "Son" are appropriate and biblical. However, the term "God the Son" is inappropriate because it equates the Son with deity alone, and therefore it is unscriptural. The Son of God is not a separate person in the Godhead, but the physical expression of the one God. The Son is "the image of the invisible God" Colossians 1:13-15and "the express image of His God's person" Hebrews 1:2-3. Just as a signature stamp leaves an exact likeness on paper, or just as a seal leaves an exact impression when pressed in wax, so the Son of God is the exact expression of the Spirit of God in flesh. Man could not see the invisible God, so God made an exact likeness of Himself in flesh, impressed His very nature in flesh, came Himself in flesh, so that man could see and know Him. Many other verses of Scripture reveal that we can only use the term "Son of God" correctly when it includes the humanity of Jesus. For example, the Son was made of a woman Galatians 4:4, the Son was begotten John 3:16, the Son was born Matthew 1:21-23; Luke 1:35, the Son did not know the hour of the Second Coming Mark 13:32 MY TURN not only did the Sonship have a beginning, but it will, in at least one sense, have an ending. This is evident from I Corinthians 15:23-28. In particular, verse 24 says, "Then cometh the end, when he Christ shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father…" Verse 28 says, "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto that God may be all in all." This verse of Scripture is impossible to explain if one thinks of a "God the Son" who is co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father. But it is easily explained if we realize that "Son of God" refers to a specific role that God temporarily assumed for the purpose of redemption. When the reasons for the Sonship cease to exist, God Jesus will cease acting in His role as Son, and the Sonship will be submerged back into the greatness of God, who will return to His original role as Father, Creator, and Ruler of all. Ephesians 5:27 describes this same scene in different terms. |

29 | What is important about "I am"? | John 8:58 | RevC | 4678 | ||
Exodus 3:14 You need to read this text it will shed a lot of light for you. This was Jesus basically saying "Hey guys,I am God." "The guy who sent Moses......that was me." So you can see why this drove the jews absolutly nuts ... they considered it blasphemy..... However Jesus made similar statement regarding His diety.... this one just came at the right time and to the right people | ||||||

Charis JVH0212 Hank Let it be known that you responded to postings concerning this issue. That you kept the discussion alive. It would seem to me that your desire is to break fellowship with whomever you disagree with, but only until you describe them as unholy,heretics incapable of having a intelligent thought. In each and every post I gave concise biblically based answers. I made no accusations nor did I describe you in any way that would degrade you or put you down. I am sorry that you have had such a difficult time getting your doctrinal basis to stick. The truth is no matter which side you are on both doctrines have their weak points ...including TRINITY. There are a great many on this site that have maintained a good spirit during this discussion. I feel we have all learned from it. This is the basis of a forum that people express their ideas freely and in a way that is not offensive or crude. I have not been either of those. For you to lamblast my faith, that which has brought me to new life, healed the brokenness and the hurt that I have endured. The same faith which has brought healing to my family joy to my children and love to our home To lamblast that is a crime and a shame. Sometime people are so doctrinal that they became dangerous. I agree you should boycott this discussion. JVH0212 we communicated by e mail briefly, not once did doctrine come up. Only unity..however you choose the path in which you should take........GOD BE WITH YOU with the sincerest of love in the Lord Jesus Christ | ||||||

Peter's command in acts 2:38 is for all time. I think a good look at the book of Acts really shows us that. If you look at Acts 19.....You see Paul and some believers who had not fulfilled all of Acts 2:38. Notice what Paul does with them | ||||||

38 | Holy Ghost Baptism subsequent to salvati | 1 Cor 12:13 | RevC | 4477 | ||
What you are talking about here seems to be seperate events. This one time event also happened in Samaria, it happened to Paul,it happened to the believers in Ephesus that Paul encounters. This is a one time event that seems to have happened to each and every converted believer (except for the unich) in the new testament...... How do you personallly feel about that | ||||||
39 | Baptism of the Holy Spirit after reborn? | 1 Cor 12:13 | RevC | 4479 | ||
To me it is extreamly biblical. If you read the book of Acts you can see very clearly that this is a biblical event that happened after people where converted or believed...... Jesus told the apostles to recieve the Holy Spirit and the HE breathed on them....He then proceeds to tell them to what or tarrey to recieve power from on high. The Samarians in the book of Acts believed and there weher wonderful miracles and great joy in the city...yet Phillip who is holding the revival in Samaria does not consider them filled or baptized in the Holy Ghost yet....even though they believed and had placed their fath in Christ.... Peter and John came down and prayed that they would get the Holy Ghost Baptism and they did...Now then this happens again in I think about chapter 8 or 9...Paul has ans encounter with some people in Ephesus they believe and had been taught about Jesus...yet they did not have anything but John's(the Baptist) baptism. Paul baptises them in the name of Jesus and the get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit...... To me this is a doctrinal truth that is well grounded in the word of God.... Read the book of Acts and you decide.... Upon recieving this free gift from God you will never believe any other way..I strongly encourage you to seek this out and see what you think... Just pray for God to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and He will and you will know it when He does | ||||||
