42 | IS BAPTISM IS REQUIRED | Rom 6:3 | canawedding | 193654 | ||
Read Ac 18:24-19:10 and especially notice Ac 19:2. There was only "one baptism" that Paul was ever concerned with and wrote about, Eph 4:4-7. In 1Co 12:12-13, he described that "one baptism" most clearly. Six times we read that John the Baptist baptized with water but Jesus Christ will baptize with God's Holy Spirit, Mt 3; Mk 1; Lk 3; Jn 1; Ac 1; Ac 11. The one New Covenant baptism is described in Mt 20; Mk 10; Lk 11-12; Jn 1-7 as well as many other Scriptures. Ro 5:1-5: Being, therefore, justified by Faith, we have Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom also we have had our access by Faith into this Grace wherein we stand and we rejoice in Hope of the Glory of God. And not only so but we also rejoice in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness and stedfastness, approvedness, and approvedness, hope. And hope putteth not to shame because the Love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. This is the baptism of Ro 1-8; etc. This is the baptism of God's Gospel -- His "Power from on High" that is "from Faith unto Faith", Lk 24; Ac 1:1-11; Ro 1:16-21; 2Co 12:9-10. It all begins when we seek first and find first as we were told to do in Mt 6:33. |

Hello lionheart, Here is the first half of my reply: You commend me for the time, effort and research but true Christians, with the anointing from the Holy One described in 1Jn 2, do not need anyone to teach us the basics of salvation. Also, when we are truly saved, God has given us His Power that is Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption through Jesus Christ, 1Co 1. As Jesus Christ breathed on His disciples almost 2000 years ago, so must He breathe on His disciples today. Remember, Jesus Christ does not change, Heb 13. Why do you quote Ac 2:38 by itself? Read Ac 2:38 in the full context of Lk 24; Ac 1-2, minimum. What did Jesus Christ say about His Power and His baptism? Why did Peter quote Joel and the other OT Scriptures? What is the Gift? What is the Promise? What does it mean to call on the Name of the Lord? Was Peter also quoting from Isa 59? Yes, he was. Jesus Christ told us all to repent and believe after John went to prison, Mk 1:14-15. Believe what, exactly? Have Faith in what, exactly? Is this what we must seek first and find first as we read in Mt 6:33; Ro 1:16-21? Yes. Is this the entrance to the narrow Gate and the narrow Road that few will find, Mt 7; Lk 11-12? Yes. Isa 59:19. "So shall they fear the Name of THE LORD from the west and His Glory from the rising of the sun. For He will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of THE LORD driveth! 20. And a Redeemer will come to Zion and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob," saith THE LORD. 21. "And as for me, this is my Covenant with them," saith THE LORD. "My Spirit that is upon thee and my Words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed," saith THE LORD, "from henceforth and forever." HE WILL COME AS A RUSHING STREAM! HIS WORDS SHALL NOT DEPART! Read Ps 72! Read Jn 7:37-39! Read Ac 13 and 1Pe 1! Ac 2: 39. "For to you is the Promise and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto Him." However, many are called but few are chosen, Mt 22. Ac 2:40. And with many other Words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation!" Read 1Pe 1 more than once. How are true Christians purified? How are true Christians born again? Is there a contradiction between 1Pe 1 and Jn 3:1-21? No, there is not because Jn 3:1-21 is also about the Living Water of Jn 4:1-26; Jn 7:37-39; etc. Ac 2:41. They then that received his Word were baptized and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls ... 47b. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved! THE LORD ADDED TO THEM DAY BY DAY THOSE THAT WERE SAVED! Lk 24:49. 49. "And behold! I send forth the Promise of my Father upon you but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with Power from on High!" Ac 1:5. "For John indeed baptized with water but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence ... 8. But ye shall receive Power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the Earth. Ro 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; for it is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. |

Hello lionheart, this is also in answer to your reply: After John the Baptist went to prison, then Jesus Christ began His earthly Ministry. Don't stumble on Jn 3:22-4:3 because that was before John was put in prison. After John was put in prison, then Jesus Christ told us all to "repent and believe", Mk 1:14-15. Believe what, exactly? What we must seek first and find first according to Mt 6:33; Ro 1:16-21? Then, during Jesus Christ's entire earthly Ministry, there were no physical water baptisms at all, none, zero, and no opportunity to do them for any of the disciples who were sent out two by two. Only in Ac 8 and Ac 10, we read of the believing Jews having a temporary problem with non-Jews that was not continued after they realized that non-Jews are saved just like believing Jews -- through repentance and faith that leads to obedience, Mk 1:14-15; Ac 11; Ac 15; etc. Paul always taught about the one baptism we must have, the one baptism that we must spiritually drink, 1Co 12:12-13; Eph 4:4-7. In Ro 1-8 and Col 1-4 he also described that one baptism as a spiritual circumcision. This is what it means to take up our cross and follow Jesus Christ. However: 1Co 1:17. For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the Gospel, not in wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made void. 18. For the Word of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us who are saved it is the Power of God. 19. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought.' 20. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21. For seeing that in the Wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God; it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe. 22. Seeing that Jews ask for signs and Greeks seek after wisdom 23. but we preach Christ crucified -- unto Jews a stumblingblock and unto Gentiles foolishness 24. but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. 2Co 12:9. And He hath said unto me, "My Grace is sufficient for thee, for my Power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, will I rather Glory in my weaknesses, that the Power of Christ may rest upon me. anne |

Have you ever studied the word "Power" in the full context of the NT Scriptures? The Samaritans of Ac 8 had believed in a false power that Simon Magus claimed to have. They did believe Philip and they were baptized with physical water before the believing Jews understood that non-Jews are saved in the same Way as believing Jews -- through repentance and faith that leads to obedience, Mk 1:14-15; Ac 11; Ac 15; etc. But, were they saved? NO! It seems that they had not repented of the false power they had believed in. There is only one baptism now, the baptism we must spiritually drink according to 1Co 12:12-13 and Eph 4:4-7. They were not saved until Peter and John came and prayed over them, laying hands on them, except for Simon Magus even though he had believed and had been baptized with physical water. Paul told Timothy not to be hasty in the laying on of hands, 1Ti 5:22. Why? Only God knows our hearts and minds. Only the LORD baptizes with His Holy Spirit, Ac 1:1-11; Ac 2:47. Without the one and only Holy Spirit baptism, we are not saved, Jn 3:1-21; Ro 8:1-17. And, that is not physical water in Jn 3; it is the very same Water of Jn 4; Jn 7; etc. Ro 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 2Co 13:5: Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith. Prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobate? |

I don't think i made the original comment about the laying on of hands that you are referring to. I did say that Paul told Timothy not to be hasty in the laying on of hands. Why? Only God knows our hearts and minds. However, let's see what the Scriptures say about Saul/Paul's conversion: Ac 9:7. And Ananias departed and entered into the house and laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." [Remember that Jesus Christ sends true Christians as His Father sent Him, Jn 20.] Ac 22:14. And he (Ananias) said (to Saul/Paul), "The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear a Voice from His Mouth. 15. For thou shalt be a witness for Him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 16. And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins, calling on His Name!" [Does this reference to the Righteous One have anything to do with Mt 6:33? Yes, it does. Read Jn 10 and Rev 1 about His Voice. How does "calling on His Name" wash sins away? Is this the baptism Saul/Paul experienced? Yes, it is. He called on the Name of the Lord as the 3000 of Ac 2 did. Ac 26:15. And I said, "Who art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. [Now, why would Jesus Christ say that Saul/Paul was persecuting Him?!] 16. But arise and stand upon thy feet, for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee, 17. delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee, 18. to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to Light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me. [Sanctified by faith in the real Jesus Christ who is the Lord of Heaven and Earth, not by being washed with some dirty physical water! And, as Paul followed the example of Jesus Christ, so he told us to follow his example. Turning people to God's Light has nothing to do with physical water either.] As for Lk 11-13, not only must we ask, we must seek and knock. Is the seek the "seek first" in Mt 6:33? Yes, it is. Is the knock about that Scripture for the loaves of bread? What kind of bread must we work for according to Jesus Christ's Teaching in Jn 6? I'm not asking these questions because i do not know the answers, anne |

Jesus Christ made it very clear that we must be born again or we will not enter into His Kingdom, Jn 3:1-21. Be sure to read Jn 3:1-21 in the full context of Jn 1-7. And, Peter clearly described how we are born again in 1Pe 1. Jesus Christ also said that unless our Righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, we will not enter into His Kingdom, Mt 5. How does that become possible? We must begin with Mt 6:33 and find first as Jesus Christ commanded all of us to do. Also, study the baptism Scriptures. Six times we read that John the Baptist baptized with water but Jesus Christ will baptize with God's Holy Spirit, Mt 3; Mk 1; Lk 3; Jn 1; Ac 1; Ac 11. That statement mentions 2 baptisms but Paul told us there is only one baptism now, the baptism we must spiritually drink, 1Co 12:12-13; Eph 4:4-7. And, read Ro 1-8 to see how we must leave the Law of Sin and Death to belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life. When we belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life, we have been born again and our Righteousness will exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. | ||||||
51 | Is anxietyand fear sinful? | Philippians | canawedding | 193298 | ||
Jesus Christ said: Mt 6:33-34: But seek ye first His Kingdom and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Paul wrote: Php 4:4-7: Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say, Rejoice! 5. Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6. In nothing be anxious but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7. And the Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. What Paul wrote was for those who do "rejoice in the Lord always". What Jesus Christ said was for those who would seek first as He told us to do. |

A lot of people claim to "have faith", even people who do not consider themselves Christians. Read Ro 1:16-21 where Paul is writing about Mt 6:33. After John the Baptist went to prison, then Jesus Christ began His earthly Ministry. In Mk 1:14-15 He said, "The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe in the Gospel!" Believe what, exactly? Have faith in what, exactly? | ||||||

Hello Doc, In Mk 1:14-15, Jesus Christ told us to repent and believe after John the Baptist went to prison. It is very important to sincerely repent. 1Jn 3: 6. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not. Whosoever sinneth, hath not seen Him, neither knoweth Him. We were also told to believe and that is the same Gospel Truth as having the faith Paul described in Ro 1:16-21. There, Paul told us that the Gospel reveals a Righteousness of God from faith unto faith. Does this have to do with Mt 6:33? Yes, it does. We cannot continue to belong to the Law of Sin and Death, we must belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life. That cannot take place until we seek first and find first according to Mt 6:33. We must go through the narrow Gate and travel on the narrow Road to belong to the Law of the Spirit of Life. Paul also wrote that the Gospel is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. That Power from on High was promised by Jesus Christ in Scriptures such as Lk 24 and Ac 1:1-11. In 1Co 1, we read that Power of God becomes our Wisdom from God, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption through Jesus Christ. This is the anointing from the Holy One that John wrote about in 1Jn 2, the anointing that teaches us. This is what it means to put on the Armor of Light that is Jesus Christ, Jn 1:1-18; Ro 13:12-14. There truly is something very specific that those of us with the Scriptures must seek first according to Mt 6:33 before we can put on the Armor of Light and let our Light shine. Read Ac 13 for a perfect example of Paul's preaching. Especially notice: Ac 13:47: For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a Light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. 48. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the Word of God and as many as were ordained to eternal Life believed. 49. And the Word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. In the service of the Righteous One, anne |

Titus 3:9: but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Read 1Co 1-3. Everyone, who is truly saved will have "the Mind of Christ" and this is most critical to salvation. It all begins where Jesus Christ told us to begin, in Mt 6:33. We must find first what He wants us to find and it has everything to do with the narrow Gate and narrow Road that few will find. | ||||||

Dear Azure, My reply had the best intentions and thankfully i do think you understand that. Here is more on the subject: Gal 3: 26. For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. 28. There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus. 29. And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. Read Ro 4 about those who are Children of Abraham. Be sure to read Lk 24; Ac 1:1-11 to see what baptism that Scriptures is about. And, "through faith" is the faith we must have in what we find first according to Mt 6:33. This is most critical, anne robare |

Read Mt 13. There are some who receive the Word of God with joy but they can fall away of their own choice. Read Heb 6 regarding those who have been enlightened who fall away of their own choice. Read Heb 10 about those who shrink back of their own choice. Read Rev 2-3 to see what Jesus Christ told the churches that symbolized all churches of all the church ages. What He told them, He also told us. Read Lk 14 about building a tower and not being able to complete it. Look for the words: patient endurance, stand fast, stand firm. | ||||||

Jesus Christ warned against it in Scriptures such as Mt 13. Heb 6 is very clear. So is Rev 2-3. Read Lk 24; Jn 20. Jesus Christ had to breathe on His disciples before they could fully understand the Scriptures then, do you think He has changed? I don't think He has changed and we certainly aren't any better than His first disciples. We must all seek first as we were commanded in Mt 6:33. We must find first so we can go through the narrow Gate and on to the narrow Road. Paul wrote about Mt 6:33 in Ro 1:16-21. What, exactly, did you find? | ||||||

Hello BradK, In Mt 6:33 Jesus Christ told us to seek first God's Kingdom and God's Righteousness. That same Righteousness is what Paul wrote so much about in Romans, Galatians and elsewhere. Ro 1:16-21 is an excellent summary of those Scriptures: 16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; for it is the Power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. [What, exactly, is it that we must believe after we seek first and find?] 17. For therein is revealed a Righteousness of God from Faith unto Faith as it is written: But the Righteous shall live by Faith. 18. For the Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the Truth in unrighteousness 19. because that which is known of God is manifest in them for God manifested it unto them. 20. For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting Power and Divinity, that they may be without excuse 21. because that knowing God, they glorified Him not as God, neither gave thanks but became vain in their reasonings and their senseless heart was darkened. [Is the lie of Ro 1:25 the very same lie of 2Th 2? Yes, it is. What we must seek first and find can be found in Mt 1-13. What we must find first involves the narrow Gate and the narrow Road that few will find. Also, keep in mind Mk 1:14-15. What is it, exactly, that we must believe?] | ||||||

Mt 13: 20. And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the Word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21. yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the Word, straightway he stumbleth. 22. And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the Word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the Word, and he becometh unfruitful. 2Pe 2: 20. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21. For it were better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the Holy Commandment delivered unto them. 22. It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire. Mt 7: 21. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in Heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy Name and by thy Name cast out demons and by thy Name do many mighty works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me, ye that work iniquity. |
