If this is true, show me the passage that proves it, please. I would rather read the word of my Father in heaven, which is truth, than a "Apostpolic pre-Nicean Church Father", who was not inspired of God to write whatever they wrote. I will save the link for study material. Thank you. |

42 | Was Jesus Christ circumsized? | NT general Archive 1 | FTimA | 65046 | ||
Yes he was. Read Luke chapter 2. While under the old covenant, as God, he would have had to obey His own law. Jesus was also baptized under John's baptism of repentance. What did Jesus have to repent of? In his own words, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Matthew 3:13, 14 "Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” 15But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” |

Baptizo 1)to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk) 2)to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one’s self, bathe 3)to overwhelm Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995. It matters not which way a person faces as long as they are totally immersed. John 3:22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing. 23 John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized-- 24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison. As the passages reveal in John 3:23, the water should be sufficient enough to immerse. Pouring or sprinkling will not do. Romans 6:3,4 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. When Christ died he was buried in a tomb. As many of us who have been baptized into Christ are baptized into his death. When a person dies are they not covered completely? In Jesus' case he was covered completely by rock. The Romans even sealed it! Today, are we not completely buried in dirt or a tomb of some sort? When a person is baptized, they are buried in water, as the bible commands and shows overwhelming evidence of. Baptism is a crucial part of salvation. Not after salvation but unto salvation. For until one is baptized they do not come into contact with Christ's death! They are not saved...according to the bible. The thief on the cross was blessed with forgiveness by Jesus before Jesus died. There was no need for him to be baptized. It matters not what kind of water is used as long as "there is much water there". Who is allowed to baptize? The bible is not explicit on this but it does show enough example of someone else baptizing the one being baptized. John the baptist, Jesus' disciples, and others. 1 Corinthians 1:12 gives us some idea, "Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. From this I would say Paul, Apollos, and Cephas(Peter) baptized. Christ didn't baptize because the bible tells us he didn't in John 4:2. Acts 8 tells us of Philip baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch. There are others but I would say, based on what we find in the bible, that anyone could baptize as long as they are in Christ. You say you can find no answers for these questions? I found answers to all of them in less than ten minutes using the search function of this web page and some bible software I have. |

44 | Non-denominational theology? | John 3:16 | FTimA | 65021 | ||
In Acts 1:20 Peter quotes two passages from the book of Psalms, Psalm 69:25 "Let their dwelling place be desolate; Let no one live in their tents" and Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few, And let another take his office" Apostolic succession is undisputed by whom? The language used in Acts 1:20 refers to the position, office, or charge of an Apostle. Laying on of hands is not how this position is obtained. Jesus personally chose the first twelve Apostles. Jesus also chose Paul. Matthias was selected with prayer and casting lots. It never says in the bible that other Apostles laid hands on him or anyone else to receive the position of Apostle. Matthias, being one who was with Jesus from the beginning (Acts 1:21), had already been baptized into Christ (yes this is an educated assumption), and he was numbered with the eleven, therefore received baptism of the Holy Ghost with the eleven on the day of Pentecost. Acts 18:14 says, "Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost." The above passage clearly teaches that the Holy Ghost was received "through the laying on of the apostles' hands", vs.18, and Simon wanted to purchase this power saying, "that on whomsover I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost". He was sharply rebuked for even thinking such a thing. Why would they have had to send for Peter and John, both apostles, if this is not true? Your reference to Paul and Timothy goes like this, 1 Timothy 4:6-16 "If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11These things command and teach. 12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." Paul tells Timothy in vs 14, "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery." Timothy was not an Apostle, not an elder, but a preacher, a minister, or an evangelist (the last three being basicall the same thing). Paul tells him not to neglect the gift given him by the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Comparing this with the Acts 18 passage, the "presbytery" would be one or more APOSTLE, but here is the crucial point! Paul states that he himself is the one that "imparted" the gift to Timothy. 2 Timothy 1:6 "Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands." If my comments above are wrong please show me where? |

Two verses supporting who the head of the church is. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 2 Col 1:18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. Christ is the head of the church. This rules out any and all others who claim or are regarded as head of the church. The initial organization of the church follows, Christ is head, 1 Cor 12:28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. Since there are no more Apostles, for there were only 13 (the original twelve minus Judas, plus Matthias, plus Paul), they no longer hold a physical position in the church, BUT that which was written by them (or their scribe) remains as doctrine for us today. Some would say we still have prophets, miracles, gifts of healings, and various kinds of tongues, but this is debatable. We also have evidence of who is to be in charge of each church. Acts 14:23 When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. And the scope of their responsibility, 1 Pet 5:2 shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; Some denominations have layer upon layer of organized administration. This is not bible teaching. |

46 | Where was Jesus for 3 days after death? | Luke 23:46 | FTimA | 65003 | ||
Ps 16:10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. In Acts 2:25 Peter, quoting the above scripture, says, "For David says of Him, (Jesus, fta) 'I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. 26 'THEREFORE MY HEART WAS GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE; 27 BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES, NOR ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO UNDERGO DECAY. 28 'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.' Acts 2:29 "Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 "And so, because he was a prophet and knew that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH TO SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, 31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY. (NKJ says "that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption".) I understand Hell to be the eternal condemnation for those who have not obeyed God. Hades is the realm of souls prior to judgment. Could we conclude from the above scripture that Jesus was in Sheol/Hades during this time? |

Yes, I agree with what you are saying. The things I say about others could very well be turned against me. Paul and Peter did not disagree on points of doctrine, Peter's behavior conflicted with doctrine. As it says in the scripture... Gal 2:11 But when Cephas (Peter, fta) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision. 13 The rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, "If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? When truth is discussed, especially biblical truth, only one answer is right. Only one answer is the truth. Scripture is not interpreted, it is understood (1 Cor 14:15). 2 Pet 1:20 states, "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. These are not men's words we are reading in the bible, they are God's words. God has an intended meaning behind them and this meaning is truth. You say, "If you truly believe that "The bible is our only guide", then I assume you listen to no preachers, read no commentaries, listen to no songs, ignore all Bible footnotes, and avoid all Christian media. To do otherwise would be to hear God's word tainted by the perception, interpretation, thought, experience, and fallenness of someone other than God." Actually, I do all of these things, but I compare it to MY understanding of scripture and pray to God always that He will lead me to His truth. No, he did't give us a certification, so to speak. But he did command us to "search the scriptures daily", "study to show thyself approved", etc. Thank you for your comments. |

You would do well to research water baptism and read all of the passages that deal with it. Where in the bible does it show a person who is saved NOT being baptized and where does it say in the bible that salvation is received prior to it? | ||||||
49 | Spirtual Gifts | Matt 7:13 | FTimA | 64972 | ||
What did God say to Adam and Eve in the Garden? Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'" 4 The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! This is a classic example of someone taking what God DID SAY and twisting it to fit their own purpose. Satan knew very well what he was doing and he knows what he is doing today, causing men to twist the true meaning of scripture in order to promote a teaching that does not align with the word of God. Denominationalism is not the sin. Teaching what the word of God does not teach is the sin. I agree that the statement in my profile is very coarse and have since removed it, but that doesn't make it any less true. The bible is our only guide. I feel and firmly believe that God intended it to reveal only one truth, His truth. You may disagree with what I say. You may not approve of what I profess. Each time I post I do my best to put scripture before personal belief. It is the scripture that supplies my personal belief. It is my prayer that we all, you and I, do as the Bereans did and (Acts 17:11)"receive the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." |

In Acts, speaking in tongues was an outward sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, for the Apostles did it first on the day of Pentecost when there was a multitude from every nation under heaven, Acts 2.5,6. Please read 1 Corinthians 12-14. Spiritual gifts had a purpose and that purpose is gone. Speaking in tongues today is not what it was then, a known language AND if you speak in a tongue that nobody understands, who gets edified? 1 Cor 14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret; 1 Cor 14:28 but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God. The above passage teaches that tongues are not to be used unless there are more than one speaking and then only if there is an interpreter. 1 Corinthians 14 speaks a great deal about the proper use of this gift. 1 Cor 13:8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 1 Cor 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 1 Cor 13:10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. This passage teaches that gifts will end. There are other passages that teach the purpose of miracles was to confirm the word of God. The last book of the New Testament was not completed until around 95-96 AD. The first letter to the Corinthians was written 40 years prior to that. When Paul says, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part", could this not mean that the full revelation of God's word has not been delivered yet and that purpose of miracles was still to confirm what was spoken? Ezekiel, gifts of the Holy Spirit did exist and served their purpose in God's grand scheme of things. They no longer exist today. Speaking in tongues is prevalent because it is easy to imitate. Scripture teaches that the tongues in the New Testament were known languages. Tongues today is nothing more than gibberish. If one gift was still active wouldn't they all be? Do you know of anyone who has given us any new revelation through prophesying? Have you read in the news of anyone being raised from the dead after four days in a tomb? Please be careful in what you choose to believe. May God bless you with His truth! |

Who is it that you refer to when you say "denominational members have such a narrow view"? Who was it that said "narrow is the way"? A secular definition of denomination is "A large group of religious congregations united under a common faith and name and organized under a single administrative and legal hierarchy." According to this definition, yes, the church of Christ is a denomination, but again, it is the only one mentioned in the bible. Whether it be church of God, church of the saints, church of Christ, church of Ephesus, Galatia, Thessalonica, etc, etc. These are all the same and are patterned after Christ's teaching, from God. I am reminded of Paul's exhortation to the Corinthian's... 1 Cor 1:10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you. 12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ." 13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? We could just as well put in I am of Campbell, I am of Calvin, I am of Luther, I am of Pope John, but what does Paul say? Is CHRIST divided? |

Post #7 A bit overwhelming isn't it? Do you not think that something which is written about so much in the word of God is important. Yes, the baptism of John, of the Holy Spirit (and maybe others) are included, but each one has a purpose in God's plan of salvation. I hope each of you that is interested in this issue will read through all of the passages, especially those dealing with water baptism for the remission of sins. I welcome comments from all. |

Post #6 Baptism Baptizing and Baptism Baptizing 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, 2 John 1:25 They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 3 John 1:28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 4 John 1:31 "I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water." 5 John 3:22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing. 6 John 3:23 John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized-- 7 John 3:26 And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him." 8 John 4:1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 9 John 4:2 (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), 10 John 10:40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He was staying there. Baptism Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 2 Matt 21:25 "The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?' 3 Mark 1:4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 Mark 10:38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" 5 Mark 10:39 They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 6 Mark 11:30 "Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me." 7 Luke 3:3 And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; 8 Luke 7:29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John. 9 Luke 12:50 "But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 10 Luke 20:4 "Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?" 11 Acts 1:22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." 12 Acts 10:37 you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. 13 Acts 13:24 after John had proclaimed before His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 14 Acts 18:25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 15 Acts 19:3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism." 16 Acts 19:4 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 17 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. 18 Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 19 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. 20 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, |

Post #5 Baptized (cont) 17 Acts 1:5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 18 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. 19 Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. 20 Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike. Acts 8:13 Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed. 22 Acts 8:16 For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 23 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?" 24 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. 25 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; 26 Acts 10:47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?" 27 Acts 10:48 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days. 28 Acts 11:16 "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 29 Acts 16:15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us. 30 Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 31 Acts 18:8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. 32 Acts 19:3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism." 33 Acts 19:4 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 34 Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 35 Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' 36 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? 37 1 Cor 1:13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 38 1 Cor 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 39 1 Cor 1:15 so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. 40 1 Cor 1:16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 1 Cor 10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 42 1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 43 1 Cor 15:29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 44 Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. |

Post #4 Baptism Baptized Baptized Matt 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. 2 Matt 3:13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 3 Matt 3:14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" 4 Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 5 Mark 1:5 And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6 Mark 1:8 "I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." 7 Mark 1:9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 8 Mark 10:38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" 9 Mark 10:39 They said to Him, "We are able."

Post #3 Baptize (cont) 21 Acts 1:5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 22 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. 23 Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. 24 Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike. 25 Acts 8:13 Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized, he continued on with Philip, and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was constantly amazed. 26 Acts 8:16 For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 27 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?" 28 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. 29 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; 30 Acts 10:47 "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?" 31 Acts 10:48 And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days. 32 Acts 11:16 "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' 33 Acts 16:15 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us. 34 Acts 16:33 And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 35 Acts 18:8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized. 36 Acts 19:3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism." 37 Acts 19:4 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 38 Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 39 Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' 40 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? 1 Cor 1:13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 42 1 Cor 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 43 1 Cor 1:15 so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. 44 1 Cor 1:16 Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 45 1 Cor 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. 46 1 Cor 10:2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 47 1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 48 1 Cor 15:29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? 49 Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. |

Post #2 Baptism Baptize Matt 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. 2 Matt 3:11 "As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 3 Matt 3:13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 4 Matt 3:14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?" 5 Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 6 Mark 1:5 And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 7 Mark 1:8 "I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." 8 Mark 1:9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 9 Mark 10:38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" 10 Mark 10:39 They said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 11 Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 12 Luke 3:7 So he began saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 13 Luke 3:12 And some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" 14 Luke 3:16 John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 15 Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 16 Luke 7:29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged God's justice, having been baptized with the baptism of John. 17 Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by John. 18 John 1:26 John answered them saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 19 John 1:33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' 20 John 3:23 John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized-- |

Post #1 Baptism Everything I have presented has come from God's plan of salvation. I have never said or implied that it is not good enough. Sin is of a spiritual nature because God is spirit and sin is against God. The bible clearly teaches that all of us are sinners and until we come in touch with the blood (death) of Christ, we cannot take advantage of his mediation for us. We can only make contact with Christ's death through baptism, for "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." Rom 6:4 The only way our souls are cleansed is through baptism. The Perfect One has cleansed me, through baptism. 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," Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' In another post which I have not yet responded to the writer asks why do we not today have the same urgency with baptism today. I believe a lot of it has to do with the belief that it is 1) not necessary, 2) not important, or 3) is a work and we are not saved by works, and 4) although it is something a person does "after salvation" you can do it whenever you have time. This my friends is blatant perversion of the truth. Below are all scriptures I could pull from the NASB feature of this website pertaining to baptism, manhy of which refer to the baptism which cleanses us from sin. I must break this up into multiple posts because of the content constraint. |
