They are. You keep saying the 3rd Singular 'be baptized' doesn't related to the same ones being told to repent, and you are wrong. Disciplerami |

Greetings, The UPPERCASE letters in the following represent the strained attempts to get around water baptism. Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE, oops, er, THAT'S NOT PART OF THE GOSPEL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY PHILIP PREACHED BAPTISM. THE EUNUCH MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT BAPTISM AT SOME OTHER TIME] Acts 8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. [SAME AS LAST ANSWER] Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] God bless.

25 | Repent and Baptism for same number? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79298 | ||
Searcher, Thank you. The Greek in verse 2:3 and verse 2:38 is the same and so everyone who was told to repent was also told to be baptized. My point was not to determine the exact number that was present that day; instead I made the point that the verbs 'repent' and 'be baptized', though one was 3rd singular and one is 2nd plural, are to the same crowd and both are required of all in order to receive forgiveness of sins. Have a good day. Disciplerami |

28 | Repent and Baptism for same number? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79167 | ||
Since no one wants to answer, I will. The command to "repent YE" is 2nd plural command. This command is joined by the conjunction 'and' (kai) followed with the 2nd command "let each one of YE be baptized". The second command is appositive to the command to 'repent', and even though the verb (baptistheito) is 3rd singular the number being commanded are the same as the number told to 'repent.' This is so because 'each one' [HEKASTOS] is followed with the 2nd person plural pronoun, 'of YE.' And Thayer says HEKASTOS (nominative, singular, adjective), "when it denotes individually, every one of many, is often added appositively to nouns, pronouns, and verbs in plural. Which is what is done in this instance. So when someone says that the command to be baptized isn't associated with receiving the forgiveness of sins because of the change in number and person, tell them the grammar allows it and 52 translations of the Bible accurately depict it so. The same people commanded by Peter to repent for forgiveness of sins were also commanded to be baptized for forgiveness of sins. Salvation comes only by the blood of Christ through the obedience of faith. Have you been baptized 'for the remission of your sins'? Good day, Disciplerami |

29 | Psalm 37:24 | Rom 8:1 | disciplerami | 79148 | ||
Greetings, You wrote the following and I would like to comment: __________ Jlpangilinan, Logically, yes, brother/sister, I agree with you. But please bear with me. Peter was with Christ throughout the 3.5 years of Christ's ministry and yet he denied Him three times. Even worse was Judas. The point I was driving at is as long as we are in this sinful flesh, we can not say that there is no chance of sinning or going back to our old sins as you said. In my opinion, the beauty of our salvation lies on the GRACE God gave and not on our capability to avoid sin, old or new. We should always separate the concept of Salvation from the concept of sinning. We try not to commit sin not because we are afraid of losing salvation. We avoid sin because we want to please God for giving us salvation. God bless, NGOP Salamat po. _______________ My comments is that I agree with the way you put this. Salvation does not require man's perfection. If it did, no one could be saved. But salvation is based on Faith plus Practicing Righteousness: that brings salvation. Do you agree? If I disobey God then I fear; but when my mind is on the things of the Spirit and I walk in the light, then my mind dwells on and trust in the grace of God. I do not fear death because I know God keeps his promise. God bless, Disciplerami |

Greetings, I'm not sure what the 'Messianic Bible' is. Probably one of the new generation of Bibles that emphasizes a particular theme [like 'Athlete's Bible, Golfer's Bible, Parchese Player's Bible]: which I dislike. What have you found out? Disciplerami |

31 | Baptism, why not more than one? | Eph 4:4 | disciplerami | 79120 | ||
Greetings, Doesn't say this: "we are baptised by the Holy Spirit" Baptism is water baptism and the Spirit renews in unison (Jn.3:3-5; Titus 3:5) Disciplerami |

32 | Baptism, why not more than one? | Eph 4:4 | disciplerami | 79119 | ||
Then you don't believe water baptism is part of the plan of God? Because if you believe in water baptism, then you have 'two' baptisms! Can you also have two faiths, Spirits, God and Father, Lord? The 'one baptism' of Eph. 4:4 is the same baptism commanded in Acts 2:38 and 22:16. Disciplerami |
||||||
33 | Water baptism the "one baptism"? | Acts 22:16 | disciplerami | 79116 | ||
Greetings, The words of Peter to the brethren at Jerusalem which are recorded in Acts 11 suggest that the Holy Spirit baptism was a sign. Not until Peter saw the Gentiles had received the same thing they had 'in the beginning' did he fully realize God's plan. Your question about Cornelius being baptized is unclear. Disciplerami |

34 | Water baptism the "one baptism"? | Acts 22:16 | disciplerami | 79083 | ||
Dear Searcher, The Holy Spirit baptism was a sign to the Jews. When Peter and the others saw the sign, then they sought to water baptize the household. If a person is not baptized for the right reason, as in the case at Ephesus (Acts 19), then they should be 're-baptized.' They were immersed once in John's baptism, but John's wasn't associated with receiving the indwelling spirit ['and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38], so they needed to be baptized again 'in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.' God bless you, Disciplerami |
||||||
35 | Water baptism the "one baptism"? | Acts 22:16 | disciplerami | 79082 | ||
Greetings, That's the way I see it. The Bible clearly attaches the purpose of forgiveness to water baptism; it is so clear that the 'faith only' people feel compelled to turn each and every verse into a Holy Spirit baptism verse. They do so without merit and cause many to go without water baptism. They say, 'how do we cause people to go unbaptized?' Easy, by removing any scriptural purpose for baptism, you remove the need for it. As they de-emphasize water baptism, they elevete the need to be Holy Spirit baptized and the accompanying tongues as evidence of salvation [we know that Holy Spirit baptism was visibly seen and was associated with power]. So I think we are on the same page. The baptism of Ephesians 4 is water baptism. God bless, Disciplerami |

37 | could Christians have been tares | Matt 13:25 | disciplerami | 79067 | ||
CDBJ How is a "true biblical born again Christian" different from a "Christian"? If I'm a "born again Christian", is that the same as being a "true biblical born again Christian." And what about that "so-called Christian"? I read of a "so-called brother" in 1 Corinthians 5. But he really was a brother, but one who was in danger of falling away. 2 Corinthians 2 indicates that he repented after being disciplined. You use "so-called Christian" as if it is a complete fraud, stealthily operating with sinister motives. Is that correct? If the so-called brother was the tare, then why would Paul 'deliver him over to Satan.' He didn't seem concerned with uprooting the wheat? No, I don't think the parable of the tares has to do with prodigal sons, but it does have to do with false religion: Satan's best effort to confuse those searching for the true church. Consider the merits of these points. Disciplerami |

38 | Sovereign? | James 2:19 | disciplerami | 79016 | ||
Greetings, I believe in the Sovereighnty of God, but I believe it allows for man's free will. God's eternal plan will be accomplished! The following is the Calvinist view of Sovereignty, aptly related by ___ [not necessary to give his name.] _______________ ___ denies free will: "...God chooses believers of His own sovereign." ___ idea of God's Sovereignty: "God micromanages the universe in a Reformed view, and even man's will is subjected to his control, which I think is the most clearly Biblical position." ___ criticizes the body of Christ that is under the absolute control of God's sovereign will: "many opt to read _Tribulation Force_ and _The Mark._ That is a SERIOUS problem for the body of Christ, choosing entertaining reading over the life-changing message of the sovereign God. ___ says the word is powerless without supernatural intervention: "God the Holy Spirit," by His sovereign will "will supernaturally re-create to believe the message." ___ shows Jesus didn't die for everyone: "If we say that Christ died for ALL the ungodly (i.e. all humanity), then the fact that there will be people in Hell demonstrates that Christ was unable to save all" and "Christ died not to OFFER payment of sins to all men..." ___ impressed with Calvinism: "Mainly what caused my shift in thinking is the God-centeredness of Calvinism, " ___ explains that if God wanted the lost to be saved, they would be saved: "from a Calvinist perspective, the only way God 'prevents people from being saved' is by not extending saving grace to them. It is the depravity of their nature, their sin, their active rebellion against a holy God which prevents them from being in a right standing with God." [note: ___ needs to explain what the impartiality of God means.] ___ relates how our decisions are God's decisions which He makes our decisions because they are His decisions: "He already has taken our future decisions into account and that he has prepared good works for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10), we can rest comfortably that God will honor and bless our God-honoring decisions." [note: this view is necessary because free will would nullify the sovereignty of God]. ___ answers how God's absolute sovereignty isn't responsible for everything: "Did God MAKE the Pharisees sin?" The Pharisees were born sinners, so the answer to that is "no." On the other hand, God directed their innate sinfulness through circumstance and withholding repentance so that the very act he decreed (the atonement) would take place." ___ explains that Sovereignty allows or permits free will: "God's sovereign will includes everything that He either actively engages in or actively permits to occur" and "the decreed event can either come from God causing it directly, or by God allowing it to happen." ___ wouldn't sing, "Let Him have His way with Them": "And, personally, I find the idea abhorrent that we as human beings "let" the sovereign Lord of the universe do anything. Who is in charge here, anyway?" ___________________ I wanted to pull together some thoughts of an 'unabashed Calvinist' to contrast it with my view of the sovereignty of God. You can see that some people do believe that God uses men to accomplish the higher purpose of glorifying Himself, even if that means their eternal destruction. :( I'll try to speak more on this at a later time. God bless, Disciplerami |

39 | Oughtness? | James 2:19 | disciplerami | 79007 | ||
Original question from Sniper: “What does it take to believe that there is a God? How does one know that there is a God? Other than philosophical arguments what is the evidence that there is God? How does a person born in the most remote wilderness know that there is a God to be sought after? Does it ultimately come down to faith?” As Searcher56 says, God has revealed Himself to all. How He has done that is through the Creation and through the Gospel. This evidence for the existence of God is still a matter of faith. All men have faith: as demons have faith, men have faith too. God makes a distinction between dead faith and working faith. There are only these two kind. Until faith acts upon what one believes to be true, it remains a faith that does not save. The lost, unregenerate sinner can be appealed to with the Gospel because it is the message of God’s love. The Gospel reminds him of judgment and it also offers a place of forgiveness and peace in a relationship with God. Faith must be placed in something. This is why men, it is said, are incurably religious. Mankind cannot help but worship something. Some place their faith in God, some put it in false gods, some put it in philosophies and traditions. But the Word of God points us to the only One worthy of worship. Creation Research or Apologetics focuses on the ‘evidence’ that God exist. They make the point that it is more ‘reasonable’ to believe in a Creator than to accept that all things came about by chance. This is called the Teleological argument. Paley argued that the “order, unity, coherency, design and complexity” of the Creation points to God. All men may use their God-given abilities to reason the existence of God and then seek further into His will. The Bible lays out a clear plan for the person who is searching. Another ‘proof’ of God is the morality of man. It says man is an intelligent creature with an innate moral code. This ‘proof’ does not say that we all agree on exact points of right and wrong, but we all agree that there is right and there is a wrong. This is the nature of man and no other creature has it. What is right or wrong is discovered through Bible study. Who cannot understand that 'coveting' is sinful? The Bible shows what sin is and offers the supreme example of Jesus for holy living. It also shows how to receive forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ. "Repent and be baptized each one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgivess of yours sins." (Acts 2:38) A Calvinist, if he is consistent, cannot put emphasis on apologetics because he argues that sinful depraved man is incapable of such spiritual discernment. The Calvinist believes that the spiritual lights don’t come on without a miraculous intervention by the Holy Spirit. Then, once regenerated, he has faith. His faith leads to obedience. And then he lives holy forever after. Immanuel Kant argued: “there exists a universal sense of moral obligation. This sense of "ought", which Kant termed the "categorical imperative", points towards an objective moral law, which source can only be the supreme being or God.” This sense of ‘oughtness’ is universal. It is an innate part of every man. It is part of his design. Man is created different from the beast of the field and sky, having an eternal soul, created in the image of God. He has a built in ability to perceive the existence of God. The Calvinist is wrong to deny that man has this natural ability to detect the Creator. God has made Himself evident to all and He will hold all accountable for rejecting such clear evidence. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘BUT THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, BECAUSE THAT WHICH IS KNOWN ABOUT GOD IS EVIDENT….” (Romans 1:16-19a) EVIDENT – comes from gnostos, what is known or notable. Why are men going to be judged? Because they reject was is known or notable. Will they place their faith in what they know? It's their choice. God bless Sniper, Disciplerami |
