41 | Mark 16:15-16 mean? | Matt 28:19 | alanh | 150612 | ||
Cornelius was not saved before baptism. He was baptized by the Holy Spirit so that Peter would know that "God is no respecter of persons" Acts 10:34. He received the Holy Spirit before he had any faith or belief in Jesus because Peter had not taught them yet (cf. Acts 11:15). If you read through the book of Acts every conversion is ended in baptism. According to Peter it is baptism that now saves us 1 Peter 3:21. Why would Jesus say, "he that believes AND is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16) if baptism is optional or nonessential? | ||||||

Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Mat 11:14 And if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, that is to come. |

Where in Revelation does it talk of Elijah returning? I know he is prophesied to come before the Lord and was in fact John the Baptizer. As for the original Elijah he was a prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel.See 1 Kings beginning chapter 17. | ||||||

“baptism” is – in those passages that associate the rite with salvation – it is the same type of “baptism” in all the verses. In other words, the “baptism” of Matthew 28:19 is of the same kind as that in Acts 2:38; 22:16; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21; etc. In view of this, consider the following: The baptism mentioned in Matthew 28:19 had human administrators. Christ commissioned the apostles to go and make disciples, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Inasmuch as an apostle could not baptize “in the Spirit” (only Christ could do that – Mt. 3:11), one is forced to conclude that the baptism of Matthew 28:19 is water baptism, not Spirit baptism. I am unaware of any reputable Bible scholar who contends otherwise. If, then, the other passages that mention baptism (see above) are of the same import, it follows that they likewise refer to water baptism, not Spirit baptism. Both Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 make it clear that the baptism of these passages involves both an immersion in “something,” and a “being raised” from the same substance. This makes perfectly good sense if water baptism is in view. On the other hand, if the “Spirit” is the element of the baptism, this would suggest that one is buried in the Spirit, and subsequently “raised from” the Spirit. This would imply further that the new convert would not have the Spirit, and therefore, would not belong to the Lord (Rom. 8:9; Gal. 4:6). This conclusion obviously is wrong – thus demonstrating that the element of the baptism in Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 is not the Holy Spirit. By default, it must be water baptism. Water is specifically associated with baptism in 1 Peter 3:21. If the allusion here, then, is to water baptism, and yet 1 Peter 3:21 refers to the same sort of baptism as the other passages cited, then clearly they speak of water baptism as well. The passage that would come closest to teaching a “Spirit” baptism would be 1 Corinthians 12:13, but, the fact is, a careful analysis of related passages reveals that not even this text teaches a baptism in the Spirit. Note the following logic: The baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 puts one into the one “body,” which is the same as the “church” (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18,24). But the church is identified with the kingdom of Christ (Mt. 16:18-19). Thus, the baptism of the text under consideration introduces one into the Lord’s kingdom. However, a related passage demonstrates that it is through the birth of “water” that one enters Christ’s kingdom (Jn. 3:3-5). One is forced to conclude, therefore, that the baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 is water baptism. In this connection, one should also carefully study Ephesians 5:26, and note the reference to the “washing of water.” Finally, there is a principle of interpretation that is paramount in sound Bible exegesis. Frequently it is the case that Bible words will form a pattern. That is, a consideration of several passages containing a term will reveal that the word has a commonly understood significance. Such being the case, that normal meaning is to be attached to the term unless an exceptional context suggests that it has taken on a special significance (i.e., a figurative sense). The term “baptize,” and its cognate “baptism,” occur together about 100 times in the New Testament. A consideration of these passages will reveal that the word may, on occasion, take on a figurative application (cf. Mt. 3:11; Lk. 12:50; Acts 1:5). Unless, though, there is clear contextual evidence that a symbolic sense has been employed, the conclusion must be that the common usage (an immersion in water) is in view. In view of this principle, there is no reason to conclude the baptism mentioned in Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38, 22:16; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12, and 1 Peter 3:21 is anything other than water baptism – an act of obedience, predicated upon faith and repentance, which secures forgiveness of sins and brings one into union with Jesus Christ. To all of this we add this point. The clear cases of “water” baptism in the book of Acts (chapters 8 and 10) very obviously were not examples of Jewish ritualism. The indisputable fact is that the Mosaic law had been abolished by the cross (Eph. 2:15; Col. 2:14), and no Jewish rite was henceforth tolerated in connection with the salvation process (cf. Acts 15:1; Gal. 5:2-4). |

There are only two cases of Holy Spirit baptism in the Scriptures Acts 2 w/ the apoostles and Acts 10 w/ the 1st Gentiles. Mt 28 where we are commanded to baptize is water baptism. We cannot baptize by the Hioly Spirit only Jesus did that and He did it twice and only twice. Emotionalism is not the same as baptism of the Holy Spirit. | ||||||

Acts 2:38 Repent and let each of you be baptized unto (eis) the remission of sins. The term eis means for or unto how does the grammar in Acts 2:38 show salvation before baptism? Acts 10 Cornelius and his household were not saved when the Holy Spirit came upon them if you read chapter 11 you will see this happened as Peter BEGAN to speak. They did not even know of Christ to believe on Him. |
