41 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | sniper | 78336 | ||
Do I detect humor? That is actually funny, good answer. I am not sure if there is any theology in that or not. Don't be so literal. The eight were brought safely through the water and baptism corresponds to that (type/antitype-the idea is that one is a shadow of the other not that they are exactly the same). |

I was saved by God when he brought me safely through the water, just as you were saved by a fireman who brought you safely through the fire. Q: Did you build the fireman like Noah built the ark? |

This is the second time in the last few days that I have seen the word 'moot'. Both times times it was used as an adjective describing an issue. Not being so smart, I looked up the definition of 'moot' in my Webster's New World Dictionary, Second College Edition. As an adjective it means 1. subject to or open for discussion or debate; debatable 2. so hypothetical as to be meaningless. I gather from the context of your post that you mean water baptism is so hypothetical as to be meaningless, and you say this after just proving that water baptism in the Biblical pattern is connected to the moment at which we believe the gospel. 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 1 Cor 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was BURIED, and that He was RAISED on the third day according to the Scriptures, 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. another interesting comparison: Col 2:11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; 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, God bless |

Titus 3:5 ... but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 1 Peter 3:20, "...when the patience of *God...during the construction of the ark..." (a work accomplished through the faith of Noah) God bless. |

Yes, an appeal to God, a prayer as it were, only, God said to get in the water. Who am I to argue? God Bless. |

Q: How could water wash sins if water, which is physical, could only touch man's flesh and not his spirit, that is intangible? A: 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 onscience -- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the WASHING of regeneration AND RENEWING by the Holy Spirit, |

James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. Rom 10:16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Rom 2:8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. Heb 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. Heb 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 1 Pet 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. |

James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; James 1:24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. James 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. |

Graceful, I agree with what you have written. If we believe in our hearts then we will act upon it. God will then see the works which we bring forth in keeping with repentance. This combination is true faith. Belief with out the works is only mental assent. Mental assent is believing the gospel but not committing to it. I can say I love my brother, but if I leave him to starve do I really love him? The same can be said about faith. |

53 | Faith plus Baptism or Faith alone? | Matt 7:13 | sniper | 78040 | ||
Tim, Obviously, you do not kmow what I think because I do not beleieve nor have I ever tried to support that good works are the cause of salvation. However, this does not mean that God does not require works in keeping with repentance. It also does not mean that God cannot require baptism for salvation. |

Flinkywood, If you will do a thorough search of all the posts on baptism, you will find that your arguments are answered Biblically and refuted. God Bless. |

Dear Dalprad, In my last post I quoted some Bible teaching on how we can identify the moment that God cleanses us. I understand how there could be confusion over the issue of Cornelius. Peter was struggling with idea of taking the gospel to the Gentiles. He was given a vision by God illustrating that it was God's plan for him to teach Gentiles the gospel. So Peter along with some other Jewish believer went to teach Cornelius. Cornelius was a God fearing man who was searching for the truth. He needed to hear the gospel and Peter preached it to him. While Peter was still preaching a miraculous event occured. The Holy Spirit came upon those listening to the message just as the Holy Spirit had come upon the Apostles on the day of Pentecost. The listeners began to speak in tongues. This was more evidence for Peter and the other Jewish believers(Acts 10:45) that the Gentiles were to be recipients of the gospel. Peter ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and we know from other scriptures what the purpose of baptism is. I also reject the teaching that a person cannot praise God, search for Him, or be devout and God fearing before they have been cleansed of their sins. Cornelius himself is proof of that. The Bible teaches that one must not only believe the gospel, but confess, repent, and be baptized. Some believe and are afraid to confess. Some believe but are unwilling to repent. Some will confess, and are willing to repent, but fall short of following God's instruction to be baptized. As I stated in my last post, salvation is by faith through God's grace and is not earned by works. It is a gift given by God to those who repent and follow Him. |

58 | What "norms" can we disregard? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77780 | ||
I am not trying to cut off debate. I am pointing out that these are not moot points as Hank says. These disagreements over baptism are serious ones. In my opinion it is statements like Hank's that are an attempt to cut off debate - to duck in declare the points moot and say that he does not want a response. If there are differences, then someone is right and someone is wrong, it is not possible for both to be right. That is my point. By the way, do you believe that that it is acceptable to add or take away from a book of the Bible which does not give a specific warning such as the one in Revelation? | ||||||
59 | Repentance and Confession - obedience? | Romans | sniper | 77774 | ||
You say 'already'. So is it your position that 'what has been done for us' happens prior to our obedience and is in no way connected to our obedience? | ||||||
60 | What "norms" can we disregard? | Bible general Archive 1 | sniper | 77751 | ||
Dear Tim, Are you suggesting that these words apply only to the book of Revelation? Are you suggesting that we may add, take away, or alter the words of any book which does not within its confines give us such a warning as the one on Revelation? As for Hank's post I mean to point out that these are not mere quibbles on which we can "agree to disagree". Sniper |
