41 | So should you wait until next Sunday? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56187 | ||
"I will let God judge their thoughts and the intents of their hearts" "there are many in the jails,nursing homes,hospitals,at the sceen of accidents,in planes crashing that dont have the oppertunity to be baptised before death but have called upon the name of the Lord...I believe they are walking in the newness of life...as far as putting of following what the Lord wants us to do". With the above people in these conditions, jails, nursing homes, hospitals, all can request to be baptized, but a crashing planes or car accidents where it don't look like the people will make it they are in God's hands. |

42 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56199 | ||
If the text was not dealing with the time we were converted to Christ, it would not use the frase "Newness of life" nor would Paul use "baptism" if it were not connected with one becoming a christian, having been born again, but rather "know ye not that so many of us as have believed, or has excepted Christ and walk in newness of life.. but that's not what Paul says here in this text. That's why I said the text gives the answer itself, and Paul is dealing with "walking in newness of life", at the point of conversion, verse 6 make it even more clearer by speaking about our "old man" is crucified with Christ. Paul also use "us" and "We" in the context of what he is saying, himself included. "May I respectfully disagree with the following statement?" Yes you may respectfully disagree with the statement, but it is clear that newness of life starts when you come up out of the watery grave of baptism. Acts 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. A newness of life when came up out of the water. Acts 16:32-34 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, strightway. 34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. They to were walking in newness of life. And I could go on and on, but that should be enough for now. Again if Paul was not talking about one's conversion he would not have use baptism! The dead man being buried and raised to walk in newness of life. John 3:5 born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. |

"So, Rom. 6:4 is not saying that baptism produces new life. It is saying that we were buried with Him so that we could live a different kind of life - one in which we are no longer slaves to sin." Your above statement happen's at conversion, and that's what I'm saying, when we come up out of the water, we are no longer a slave to sin. Our sins have been washed away. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. This verse verified what Paul says in Rom 6:4, let the bible give the answer. "The bible is right". This is very certain, someone who has not been baptized can do nothing with this text, for sure! And I have heard of people waiting days, weeks, and months to be baptized. And that for sure is wrong according to the bible! Some people would say that a person is saved without being baptized. But from the day of Pentecost until now the bible would not agree with them. |

The verses use were about conversions in the book of Acts and that is nothing but walking in newness of life. "So, those who have been buried with Christ MAY walk in newness of life. So, this verse can't be saying that baptism saves because the verb used does not indicate that baptism produces new life." Can those who have "NOT" been buried with Christ, walk in newness of life? Some people would say yes! And some would say no! I would say no, they cannot walk in newness of life! |

"Yet, when Paul was asked what a person must do to be saved, he said: "...‘‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”" Acts 16:31." I notice that you close the book after reading Acts 16:31, if you continue to read you will find the "real" answers, let's look and see. Acts 16:32-34, And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. Question: was anything mentioned about baptism in the message? Let's see the responce. vs. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; And was Baptized, He and All His, straightway. Question: Why do you leave this information out of the answer to the Jailers question? (Acts 16:32-33) What are you hiding? When dealing with the question of salvation, we should aways give All of the information that the bible gives, because the Bible is Right! "1) John 1:12 - "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—" " Key word in this text is (become) Jesus said in John 3:5 you Must be born of the water and the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God. And, we could go on and on. However, all of these verses are clear that the only requirement for salvation is faith. An excellent example is the believers in Acts 10, who were filled with the Holy Spirit (thus saved), before they were baptized. I notice you incerted the words (thus saved), but there are eight other conversions in Acts that didn't happen the same way as Acts 10 so I believe that this conversion is something that God was telling Peter and the Jewest brothers about the Gentiles, which is a whole subject by itself. I can tell you this, I'm not saying that baptism all by itself saves anyone, but (through Faith) along with blief, repentance, and confessing Jesus Christ name saves a person. "love one another, pray for one another, assemble together, be witnesses, ect.... However, none of these 'works' save us. They are things we do because we are saved, not thing which save us." None of these but one (be witnesses) were in the Great commission to the apostles. When we start at the beginning when Jesus told his apostles to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: You will not fall into the trap of thinking that baptism in not neccessary for salvation. Examine the Great commissions it will become clear. Then look at the first sermon on the day of Pentecost, and the answer to the question Men and bretheren what shall we do? I read a post that was written to grace and truth, and it said that no one on this forum had changed their minds about (being saved by grace through faith only) I thought that was sad, because if it was a matter of eternal life and I found out I was wrong about something in Gods word I would change in a flash. Life is to short to play games with God's word. |

Now to rightly handle scripture, you must go by the results and outcome of the whole story, let's look, verse 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. What do we learn here, Paul and Silas spoke unto them the Word of the Lord, What words, did they tell them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of there sins? I believe that's exactly what they were told, Acts 2:38, 8:35-39. "But, Paul never said that the jailer must be baptized to be saved did he!" If Paul or Silas spake the word of the Lord, they were told to repent and be baptized, because that's what the Lord said to do Acts 2:38; 8:35-39 "What about John 3:5? This has been dealt with many times, but John 3:5 never mentions baptism. It does mention being born of water, but this is explained in the very next birth as being physical or natural birth." Tell me please, that you don't believe John 3:5 is talking about "phyiscal or natural birth" because Nicodemus brought that up in verse 4 when he said "How can a man be born when he is old? can be enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? So for anyone to believe that is verse 5 is talking about phyisical or natural birth are wrong, wrong, wrong. And the Bible is right! "3) You say that baptism alone does not save, but Scripture does say that faith alone saves (Eph. 2:8-9) and Scripture explictly rules out any role of works in salvation." The bible talks about three kinds of faith, and for anyone to believe that faith alone saves, have very weak faith. Strong faith produces action, and all who heard the gospel obeyed what they heard and the Lord added them to the church. Eph.2:6 says he raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: vs. 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. If you can prove with the bible that this verse is talking about baptism I would believe it! The text does not say, Faith alone! All those in this church were baptized into Christ. |

49 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56393 | ||
Acts 4:12 Can bring better understanding to this subject than any other verse I know. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved". In Acts 2:38 the power is in the name of Jesus Christ that allows baptism to save. This is why Paul had a problem with the church at corinth, the members claiming the names of different people who baptized them. 1Cor. 1:10-17, mainly vs.15 "Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name". Paul was afraid, This is why he was glad that he only baptized a few people. Notice vs 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the Name of Paul? You all take baptism far to lightly: You all need to ask this question Where did baptism come from? Jesus asked the chief priests and the elders this same question; do any one on the forum know the answer? When ever anyone handles the word of God we need to follow some simple rules: In his famous work Biblical Hermeneutics, M.S. Terry defined the concept of "analogy of faith." This principle "assumes that the Bible is a self-interpreting book, and what is obscure in one passage may be illuminated by another. No single statement or obscure passage of one book can be allowed to set aside a doctrine which is clearly established by many passages" (449). ") Concerning John 3:5, the word baptism does not appear anywhere in the Greek text. No form of the word occurs until v. 22, which is outside of the discoure and is found in a narrative passage describing the fact that both Jesus and John did some baptizing in the countryside." While it is true that the passage referenced (John 3:5 do not explicitly mention baptism, neither does it mention any allusion to repentance. Are we to assume that repentance is not required for redemption? Surely not. |

50 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56402 | ||
I also heard this statement: Eph 2:8 'by grace are ye saved....;and Romans 3:22-27. Nowhere in these passages is baptism mentioned as a prequisite to salvation." While it is true that the passage referenced (Eph.2:8; Rom.3:22-27) do not explicitly mention baptism, neither does it mention any allusion to repentance. Are we to assume that repentance is not required for redemption? Surely not. It is rarely the case that a single context will totally exhaust the biblical material on a particular theme. It is the "sum" of the truth that counts (Psa. 119:160), not an isolated text, that may focus upon a limited point of emphasis. Acts 2:38 contends for repentance and baptism as "requisites" for "forgiveness," with no specific mention of faith. However, by means of that interpretive rule known as "analogy of faith," belief in the Lord must be implied as well. For example, the fact that God is said to be "one" (Dt.6:4) does not negate the biblical truth so abundantly affirmed elsewhere that God, i.e., the nature of deity, is possessed by three Personalities-father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Mt.28:19-20). A truth emphasized by additional information in other texts. This is a most fundamental principle of interpretation. While Ehp.2:8 mentions salvation by grace through faith, later, in the same letter, the apostle affirms that one is "cleansed...by washing of water with the word"(5:23). If one concludes that "saved" (2:8) is the eqivalent of "cleansed" (5:23), it then becomes obvious that salvation by "faith" is not independent of being "washed with water," (a phrase admitted by virtually all scholars to be a reference to baptism - Arndt, 481; Thayer, 382). Moreover, while both grace and faith are stressed in Rom.3:22ff- as means of "redemption"-three chapters later the inspired apostle affirmed that one is buried with Christ in baptism that he might walk in "newness of life" (6:3-4). Is "newness of life" a parallel descriptive for salvation? Of course it is. Clearly, then, salvation by grace and faith is not exclusive of other conditions specified in supplementary texts relating to justification. |

The statement you made was "baptism is mentioned nowhere in the chapter" but vs.22,23,26. And you comment about John 3:5, is not correct! Being born of the water and the spirit, is the same as being buried with Christ in baptism. Look at 1John 5:8-5. |

Why did those in the first century get baptized the same hour that they believed, and baptism was commanded in Acts 10:48 all in the same hour. | ||||||

How could you make a statement like that? Luke 13:3,5 "except you repent you shall all likewise perish." | ||||||
54 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56549 | ||
The first century believers obeyed this command in the same hour they believed, and all of the conversions in the book of Acts the believers were baptized the same hour. But people today wait days, weeks, months and some wait years before they are baptized, can they still be saved by being disobedient? |

55 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56554 | ||
Acts 2:41 the three thousand in one day, chpt. 8:12,13,38;9:18;10:48;16:33;19:5. All of these in the same hour were baptized, and surely in the same day that they believed. | ||||||
56 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56556 | ||
That text is in 2Cor 7:10,11 but it's dealing with a member of that conregation who took his father's wife, he's in Christ already but he had sinned. Repentance is a requirement for salvation! Acts 2:38. But it's not the only thing one must do to be saved. | ||||||
57 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56560 | ||
Sure: Acts 8:35-39 "Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; whay doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. Act 16:30-34 And brought them out, and said, Sir, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they SPAKE UNTO HIM THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND TO ALL THAT WERE IN HIS HOUSE. (only to make a point) 33 And he took them the SAME HOUR OF THE NIGHT, AND WASHED THEIR STRIPES; AND WAS BAPTIZED, HE AND ALL HIS, STRAIGHTWAY. 34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. Both of these cases were in the same hour, but notice the first text in Acts 8:26-38 I used vs 35-38 to save space, but the point I want to make is that these two were in the desert, this is the answer to the "what if you were in the desert question" God will provide! Philip taught the eunuch and baptized him in the same hour. And the jailer was also baptized the same hour of the cold night with all that were in his house. |

Can you site any other passage other than Acts 10:34-48 where this was the case? I have delt with this passage before, and I find only one case like the one mentioned here. And one out of nine conversions means there was something special about this one. This is when God brought the Gentiles into the fold. And when the apostles in Acts 2 received the Holy Spirit, but all of the other cases were baptism then the Spirit was given. About baptism in the same hour go to Acts 8:26-38 and Acts 16:33. | ||||||
59 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56563 | ||
Let me say this, no one waited more than two-or-three hours without being baptized into Christ. Try reading other translations and you will see my point. |
||||||
60 | What if you don't obey that command? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56633 | ||
I don't know if you are aware that each verse in your translation verified what I affirmed. In all the cases of conversion the persons (immediately which means without delay; at once) look in any dictionary to verify the meaning. They believed and were baptized! No one never waited for days, weeks, month or years to be baptized. |
