41 | Is Mt 28:18 commanding water baptism? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 77450 | ||
I have a question. Is Matthew 28:18-20 commanding the Apostles to administer water baptism? If so, Is Mark 16:16 a command to receive water baptism? If so, Is Acts 2:38 a command to receive water baptism? If not, then believers are commanded to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Since the Holy Spirit was imparted at God's discretion, when and where God chose to pour it out, then it does not follow that all believers are commanded "Be baptized" into the name of Jesus, for the remission of sins. Acts 2:38 is talking about water baptism. I hope that helps. disciplerami |

42 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 77509 | ||
Dear Ray, To those who don't see "water" but do see "Holy Spirit baptism, I say I would like to see what happens in these churches where the preacher gets up and "commands" that the people be baptized by the Holy Spirit! If we "take away" from the clear teaching of water baptism and demand that people be baptized in the Holy Spirit, we are commanding someone to do what is not in their conrol. Many who are untaught or unstable look at verses that are clearly 'water baptism verses, and say, "can't be talking about baptism 'cause I don't see the word 'water.'" But no matter, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, will see. "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." Others will keep on searchering and will not see. God bless you in your search for truth. Disciplerami |

43 | To be saved must we be baptised? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 77890 | ||
Acts 2:38 Grammar Corrected It has been stated several times on this forum that the Greek construction found in Acts 2:38 wrongly leaves the impression that 'repentance' and 'baptism' are necessary for salvation. ________ Morant61 has said, "Greek pronouns and verbs must match in both person and number. While it sounds nice to say that Peter is simply going from the group to the individual, doing so seperates the command to 'be baptized' from the promise of 'forgiveness of sins'. One cannot say in Greek, "Be baptized (singular) for the forgiveness of your (plural) sins!" "Ignore the rest of the sentence for the moment. The above sentence in Greek would be impossible. The only imperative that can go with the promise of forgiveness of sins in the plural 'repent'." ________ Acts 2:38 reads: Repent ye (2nd person, plural) and be baptized (3rd singular) each one (HEKASTOS, see Thayer's notes) of ye (plural pronoun).... unto the remission of sins of ye (plural pronoun)... Morant61 says it is not proper to say, "be baptized (singular) for the forgiveness of your (plural) sins." Thayer disagrees and offers several places where this is done when HEKASTOS (each, every) is used. "HEKASTOS, when it denotes individuality, every one of many, is often added appositively to nouns and pronouns and verbs in the plural number: Jn16:32; Acts 2:8; Lk2:3; Acts3:26; 1Pt4:10; Rev5:8; Rev20:13. (Thayer, Greek-English Lexicon, 1889, p.192) Here is a perfect example in Acts 2:3, "and appeared (3rd PLURAL) to them (autois, dative PLURAL) tongues as of fire distributing themselves (nominative PLURAL) and they rested (literal, 'it rested' 3rd SINGULAR) on each one (HEKASTOS, each, every) of them (genetive PLURAL). The "them/autois" of "there appeared unto THEM" in this Greek text is PLURAL. "EACH" is from the same word translated "EVERY ONE" in Acts 2:38. Did the tongues of fire sit on exactly the same ones to whom the fiery tongues appeared? The obvious answer is, 'yes!' In Acts 2:38, the group that is commanded to 'repent ye' is not more or less than the ones who are commanded to 'be baptized individually every one of ye (plural)...for the forgiveness of the sins of ye. Other examples of this construction are seen in John 6:7; Lk 4:40 "We ask: "How many more repented than were baptized?" "Every one of you" is added appositively to "Repent ye" and they both refer to the same ones."1 Good day, Disciplerami 1www_bearvalleycofc_orgZarticlesZbaptismEssential_html _ is for a dot Z is for a forward slash |

45 | Whose works are required for faith? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 78196 | ||
Greetings, John 6:27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal." John 6:28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" John 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." Good day, Disciplerami |

46 | Rejection of the work of God? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 78261 | ||
Greetings, Yes, I would say that if someone doesn't 'accept' the work of God, that person is spiritually dead. No one is going to heaven accept through the righteousness of Christ, credited to him through faith. Faith that pleases God, does not merely hear, does not merely acknowledge, but it does the will of God. Because this DOING is by faith, not by merit, God credits it as righteousness. "But to the one who does not work [does not work to merit eternal life, ME], but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness." - Rom. 4:5 Without faith, works that would be pleasing to God, would be rubbish. Out of faith, I try to let my "light shine before men in such a way THAT THEY MAY SEE [MY] GOOD WORKS and glorify God who is in heaven." - Matthew 5 Thanks and nice communicating with you, Disciplerami |

47 | 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 |

49 | Possible that the all scholars wrong? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79299 | ||

50 | Could this be right? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79352 | ||
Answer to Tim's post: 79339 Greetings, You want to deal with parenthetical statements? 1 Peter 3:21 "Baptism now saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." That parenthetical statement, accurately depicted as such, explains how baptism saves you and it agrees completely with Peter's message on the day of Pentecost. Peter said in Acts 2 that baptism is for the remission of sins. Not a problem. I've answered Acts 10 in my conversation with Searcher. They did not receive the indwelling spirit until they were baptized because the spirit does not dwell in an unsanctified vessel. It is given to those 'who obey Him' (Acts 5:32). Good day.

52 | Question: how long is 'temporary?' | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 79390 | ||
Baptism is for the remission of sins, as is repentance. Baptism is not contrary to the plan of God. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith works. If you believe, then you will speak and obey. James says salvation comes when you work and Paul says you are justified by your faith. Faith and works united is Biblical. It is not faith only, it is not by works only, it is through the 'obedience of faith', such as is demonstrated in Hebrews 11. Good day, Disciplerami |

55 | Paul is commanded to wash away sins? | Acts 22:16 | disciplerami | 78015 | ||
Was Paul saved at the point of 'faith alone' or when 'calling on his name?' Believing must come first and calling on His name must follow. Are we saved when we believe or when we call, or as one person suggest, when we repent (as he argues a causal relationship between 'repentance' and 'remission of sins' in Acts 2:38)? I'm searching for answers. Thanks and good day, Disciplerami |

57 | Is repentance necessary for salvation? | Romans | disciplerami | 76847 | ||
Greetings, Acts 3:19, Peter tells the people to repent and return "THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE WIPED AWAY." I believe that repentance is necessary for salvation. Acts 2:38 agrees, where repentance is with a view to forgiveness of sins. On the day of judgment, will the unrepentant be saved? Pretty clearly, not. Good day. |

58 | Evidences of Faith? | Romans | disciplerami | 76964 | ||
Hello Sniper, Yes, faith is active. Saving faith doesn't exist without accompanying works. Paul talks of the 'obedience of faith' in Romans and to the Thessalonians he speaks of their 'work of faith' (1 Thess 1:3; 2 Thess 1:11). Repentance is a natural, faithful response to 'seeing' Jesus on the Cross. Confession is too. If I believe that Jesus is good news, I can't help but proclaim it. Repentance and Confession are necessary for salvation. No one goes to heaven who doesn't repent and confess. Let me add a cautionary note: if someone is repenting and confessing out of a sense of merit, then such a person's faith is in the wrong thing and is worthless. Faith that works is faith in the grace of God. Good day Sniper. |

Hello Sniper, Let's see, can a person have faith who doesn't confess, and doesn't repent? I would say no. That's no my idea of what a Christian is. The Biblical image of a Christian is much different. Thanks and God bless, Disciplerami |

60 | Is baptism an evidence of faith? | Romans | disciplerami | 77233 | ||
In response to Searcher56's multiple posting of Morant61's handling of Acts 2:38, I would like to repost the following: According to Morant61, Acts 2:38, for grammatical reasons is more accurately translated, "repent for the forgiveness of sins, and be baptized upon the name of Jesus Christ, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" [I'm working from memory, but this is my best attempt to depict Morant61's position]. Consider the following, and I am glad to be corrected if I'm wrong. The argument for parsing Acts 2:38 in this mater is without merit for the following reasons: 1] No translation available has ever translated it such? You claim that the grammar rules are violated; if so, then your argument is not with me, but with every translation board known to man. Can you show me a single translation that has dared to translate Acts 2:38 as you have offered here? If you give no answer, we all must assume that the Greek scholarship is against you. 2] This argument you offer is old, and has been refuted many times. The two commands, “repent” and “be baptized,” are joined by the correlating conjunction “and.” It follows that if repentance is essential to salvation, so also is baptism. [I realize that you must conclude that repentence is not essential to salvation either, but we shall get to that]. 3] The sentence in Acts 2:38 is what's referred to as a Complex Compound Sentence, comprised of three sentences joined by the correlating conjunction, AND, a] Repent ye (AND)… b] Be baptized (3rd,singular, individually) each OF YE (humon, genetive 'of', plural) on the name of Jesus Christ UNTO the remission of the sins OF YE (humon, genetive 'of, plural), (AND)… 1) in this second sub-sentence, it says 'let be baptized each individual of YE into the name of Jesus Christ with a view to remission of sins. c] YE shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 4] Here's where you take a twist by turning the preposition, EIS, into a causal meaning (because), you also make repentence unnecessary for the remission of sins. To be consistent then, you must say that repentence follows only as evidence that you are saved. Where you did argue by this novel translation that repentence is connected to forgiveness and baptism is not, you must now conclude that repentence and baptism are no more connected to forgiveness than the other: except now, they both follow. Here is how you really see this verse: a] “Because you have forgiveness of sins, you are commanded to repent (it is an imperative, as you pointed out) and commanded to be baptized (an imperative also) … or b] “Repent BECAUSE you have been forgiven of sins, and then you must go ahead and be baptized too, but NOT BECAUSE of your former forgiveness of sins…. [it is you who disassociated baptism from forgivess of sins, right?]. Now you must tell us why we must be baptized. All along, you've been disassociating baptism from forgiveness of sins, while connecting repentance to forgiveness of sins. Now your argument is that repentence follows too! Your argument has been that baptism follows. Now you must, to be consistent with your causal explanation for the preposition EIS, say that repentance isn't associated with forgiveness, not any more than baptism is! ! ! If you deal with anything in this response, deal with this. Explain how all along you can make the case that number and person only connects repentance and forgiveness, and baptism therefore follows. Then you introduce the causal argument for EIS and make repentance no more necessary for forgiveness than is baptism. |
