22 | more info. on baptism, what way we shoul | Matt 28:19 | conlan4k@earthlink.net | 41735 | ||
I suggest that you read about the ethiopian treasurer in Acts 9:22-40. I truely believe that baptism is a step of faith not a way of being saved. My mother is also pentecostal and she told me if I did not receive the holy spirit at baptism I was attending the wrong church. I feel we each have a personal relationship with God that transends the views of man. So even if the ethiopian treasurer received the holy spirit it does not mean that this is what we should all strive for in baptism. The most important part of the story being told here is that it is christ dying on the cross that gives us eternal life. We do not get to heaven by being baptized. There is only one way we can get to heaven and that is through the blood of Jesus. We must admit we have sinned, we must understand that christ died on the cross for our sins was buried and rose again on the thrid day and was seen, and we must choose to have Jesus live inside of us forever. John 3:16 For God so loved the world... Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God 1 corinthians 15:3,4 christ died on the cross for our sins according to the scriptures he was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures Hebrews 9:22 With out the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin John 1:12 But to those who received him to them he gave the right to become children of God. This is the most important part of becoming a christian. Baptism is part of christian growth. We baptize to show that we realize that we would not be able to communicate with God because we are separated not only physically but spiritually from God by our sin. God is perfect. He can not be around sin. We are all sinners. He loves us though and so he provided a way that our sins could be forgiven. It is through christ and the cross it is that simple. When we are baptized we are remembering symbolically that we are reunited with God the father through the cleansing blood of christ who washed us clean of sin when he died for us allowing us to be reunited again with God the father through his son Jesus and to have the holy spirit teach us and help us to grow in our faith as we read the bible, go to church, tell others about christ,pray, and last but not least spend time talking with God each day. I hope you will read your bible and come to your own conclusion about baptism. I know that we as a church should not ridicule eachother for our doctrinal beliefs. Remember most of all that your relationship with God is a personal one and he is the only one who you are accountable to ,Not to the beliefs of men. Conlan4k | ||||||
23 | are believers still considered sinners ? | Romans | conlan4k@earthlink.net | 41740 | ||
Everyone who lives upon the earth is a sinner. Even the person you might assume to be perfect sins. Your pastor is a sinner, your mother is a sinner and so on and so on. That is why each day we need to pray and remember two things when we pray.1. We need to Praise God for all of his grace and his love and the wonderful life he provides us and the ways that we are blessed.2. We need to ask him to forgive us our sins and to forgive others who have sinned against us. this is a step of faith that is part of our spiritual growth. As we mature as christians we read Gods letter to us the bible and we learn to make decisions that will help us to break bad habits. As we become mature we replace old ways of acting and reacting to people and situations with new ways of acting and reacting . We can not break old or bad habits but we can replace them with positive or constructive ones. This is how we mature. And maybe one day our family will not be able to tell when we have sinned, our friends will not be able to tell when we have sinned, only you and God will Know when you have sinned. I think that is the best that we can do in our walk with the lord. blessings to you and to your walk with God the father, God the son, God the spirit three in one. Fellow sinner in christ conlan4k | ||||||

I am sorry you feel that way. Genesis 8:21b I will never again curse the earth,destroying all living things, even though man's bent is always toward evil from his earliest youth, and even though he does such wicked things.Romans3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. John 1:12 But as many as received him to them he gave th right to become children of God. The most important verse is the one we focus on after we become children of God. 1 John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he can be depended upon to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong. We must ask each day to be forgiven our sins. I am sorry you feel that way . God is the only one who is perfect. He is holy. Man is not. | ||||||

Your point is well taken. I am not disputing the fact that we are made clean because Jesus shed his precious blood and cleansed us from sin. The problem is we still live on earth and until we get to heaven we are in the flesh body. We can not be in heaven in our flesh body. Heaven is perfect, sinless. There is no sin there. On earth we are to do good works when we accept Jesus as our savior this is true. And we are told to wear the armor of God. We can be rightous and pure but we are not perfect. God came to earth as Jesus. God and Jesus are one and the same. Therefore only they can walk the earth sinlesss. if we were sinless we would be in heaven which is perfect. heaven is where God wants us to be one day. That is why he came here through Jesus his only begotten son, so that we could be forgiven our sins and have a place reserved in heaven. A mansion is mine. I do think that to speak with authority about who and what you will allow in your life is very noble and takes a person of great intuition and courage. Speak as things should be instead of how you would like them to be. Yes, I think this is good and righteous. Also I think you refer to the book entitled "The two adams." I have never read this book but it sat on my grandmother's coffee table for years. Is this the theory of a man or does it say in the bible that Jesus is the second Adam? | ||||||

27 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | conlan4k@earthlink.net | 41621 | ||
You cannot be saved by doing good deeds. You cannot be saved by going to church. You cannot be saved by being an "A" student. You cannot be saved by baptism either. Salvation is yours as a gift of God. 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 Christ died on the cross for our sins according to the scriptures he was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.John 1:12 But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God.All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.And last but definately not least Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of ourselves it is a gift of God. | ||||||

Thank you for the information. I teach a weekly Good news club and I do not like to teach what I cannot reference. My lesson planner says things I just cannot back up with biblical fact. | ||||||
