Thanks Ephraim, I never before noticed the part where Ananias placed his hands on Saul "so that he may see and be Filled With The Holy Spirit. I'm not sure I totally agree but am now looking at that verse in a different light. Thanks for shedding new insight. arrow1 |

43 | Is this baptism by the Holy Spirit? | 1 Pet 3:21 | arrow1 | 113489 | ||
Water Baptism in Jesus name (assuming one is doing it through faith and repentence) and receiving the Holy Spirit are basically one in the same event. Peter's 1st sermon makes that so clear. If you see baptism as an act of faith, just like believing and repenting, not a work of the law where you are trying to earn something, but rather an act of faith and obedience whereby you will receive something(forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit). The ark did not save Noah. He and his family happened to be "in" the ark. But 1 Peter 3:21 so clearly says, "in it(the ark) only a few people were Saved Through Water". The Floodwaters didn't remove dirt from Noah any more than Baptism removes dirt from your body(not sure what point you were trying to make there?) You are right though, it was his faith and "obedience" that saved him. I think that is something most people forget, faith is an action not merely mental assent to an idea. Water baptism is clearly what is being spoken of in 1 Peter 3:21. I have never seen any Biblical Scholar, no matter what the denominational background, refer to it otherwise. | ||||||

John 5:24, Romans 3:28, Eph 2:8-9 do not say faith "alone". In fact the phrase faith alone is found nowhere in scripture(except in James, but that doesn't help your view). 'Corresponding to that' refers to 'safely'? that is a real stretch. Water Baptism is how you make the pledge, and in making that pledge you will receive the Holy Spirit. Again baptism is a spiritual act of faith, in baptism God is the one who is doing the work, saving and cleansing you. Yes, His death does save us, but you have to be put "into Christ" to connect his saving shed blood. Baptism puts us "in Christ", Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:26-27, if done as an act of faith and obedience through a repentant heart. |

I have no idea what that illustration meant, I'm not trying to be funny, it just doesn't make sense. I'll try to interject a thought and see if it applies. How about by faith you get baptized into Christ(jump into the raft). There now that makes sense. | ||||||
46 | Is baptism needed for salvation? (One.) | 1 Pet 3:21 | arrow1 | 113581 | ||
Reply to Hank, How can anyone possibly refer to the thief on the cross as reason baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is not necessary. How can you make that a requirement of the thief when 1st of all Jesus had not yet been resurrected, and 2nd the Great Commission has not yet taken place. The thief was still under the old covenant. If you so easily use this as an argument against the need for baptism in Jesus name(which it clearly has nothing at all to do with it) could it be quite possible you're incorrect about other views on doctrine. |

47 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | arrow1 | 113592 | ||
answer to romans4 5 Paul's message was not different than Peter's. You conveniently left out v.32 Spoke the word of the Lord means "told him the Gospel message". The jailors response to his message was to immediately be baptized, same response the 3,000 had. Obviously, if they had the same response, they heard the exact same message. |

answer to tim Eph 1:7, Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19, Romans 6:3-7, Acts 2:38, do not mention faith. By your logic, faith must not be necessary because it is not in those verses. You are not being very consistent. Actually, isn't it interesting, the very first time the gospel is preached(Peter's sermon) faith is "never" mentioned yet 3,000 were added to the church that day. Think about it, if faith alone is so important, how could Peter spend forty days being taught by Jesus about the Kingdom of God, and then at the first sermon he ever gives, he never mentions faith alone. By some of your logic, it would seem faith is not a requirement. Of course I'm being a little silly, faith is required. But it should be clear all of scriture is important. That's why you can't ignore the verses that say baptism saves you, or repentance saves you. Also, the phrase "faith alone" is nowhere to be found in scripture, yet that is your doctrine? |

Can someone please explain why the thief is always mentioned for not being baptized. What does that have to do with anything. Adam and Eve and Moses were not baptized in Jesus name either, so what? | ||||||

Yes, and many of those verses mention nothing of repentance. Surely you are not going to say it is unimportant or not required. | ||||||

Thanks for replying, Makarios You are completely missing the point. How could you possibly require the thief to be baptized when the Great Commission has not yet happened, and Jesus has not yet been resurrected. That makes no sense. Of course he had no chance to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it had not yet been commanded. |

Okay, we are not getting anywhere on that one. Maybe we can agree on this. According to the Great Commission, we are commanded to make disciples and to baptize them and teach them. Obviously, all Born Again Christians are to be baptized. If that is so, why is it that in every example of coversions in the NT, baptism followed preaching of the gospel immediately, it was never delayed. Today however most "Christians" are baptized months and years after their conversion. Why is that. Are they all taught improperly, are they lazy, are they embarrassed to acknowlegde God before men, are they afraid to get wet, why is it so acceptable today to casually put off something that was so obviously important in the early church? |

53 | baptism summed up....... | 1 John 5:6 | arrow1 | 113666 | ||
Look, I'm not trying to be beligerent here, but can you please stay with my specific questions. You initially brought up the verse in Romans. I asked a specific ? about that verse. I wanted to get your view on where you see in Romans it is saying baptism is merely symbolic. I take Romans 6:3 literally, you don't and that's fine. I'm merely trying to get your specific view on what it is saying. | ||||||
54 | What does baptism consist? | 1 John 5:6 | arrow1 | 113683 | ||
Things have gotten harder(different is probably a better word). Today we must believe in the Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus. He is the "only" way to the Father. The thief did not have the priveledge of hearing the full Gospel message of the D,B and R. and that one could recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. Remember the Spirit wasn't given until after He was glorified. One could possibly argue we are saved in a slightly different way. The Gospel is new and the chance to receive the holy spirit is new. |

55 | baptism important ,why the delay? | 1 John 5:6 | arrow1 | 113726 | ||
So you are saying that today we have the Bible, and when a mature Christian shares his faith with a non-christian, he does not have the commands of Christ fresh in his mind and heart and is incapable of baptizing a person right after conversion to show a "new birth" has taken place. That makes absolutely no sense | ||||||

To be consistent verse a) , b), and f) do not mention repentance, thus repentance is not essential. Section 1) part a) you say there are many references which state salvation is through "faith alone", when in reality the phrase "faith alone" is found nowhere in scripture. Just making a point, arrow1 |
