61 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53217 | ||
In Acts 2:38 you mentioned a (grammatical) form of this text, you say repent, is plural and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit is plural, but to be baptized is singular. Peter was speaking to a group of people, so all that he mentioned would be in the plural sense. | ||||||
62 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53163 | ||
Tim, You're looking at the wrong words in the text, the word to observe is (and) THESAURUS conj. in addition to, also, including, plus, together with, as well as, furthermore, moreover. (And) is the key word that ties the two together. Repent AND be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. You cannot throw the AND out of the text! |

Yes I agree with the apostle Paul, but I don't agree with your teaching. You talk about how many hold to your view of salvation and you do have a lot. Because it makes Matt 7:13,14 come to light, only few there be that find it. | ||||||

Hank! Just one question, Did the Logos tell us through the apostle Peter, to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins? Yes/No |

What is your difinition of (Holy Spirit baptism) and show me the scriptures that will bring light to this point? "Water baptism does not save, but if you are saved you will want to be immersed. Just as if you ae saved, you will want to follow all the rest of His commands". Your above statement is bold, Acts 22:16, 1Peter 3:20-21, and the text that is said to be not inspired Mark 16:16. I don't want to weary you about this subject, but others will bring it up agan. In John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. If one could properly explain the significants of the water here then maybe we can have a changed mind. If water has nothing to do with cleansing the soul and spirit of men, why is it mentioned here? We know the blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin, but why the water being seperate and distink from the blood coming out of the body of Jesus our Lord? Are they not together? Why? Was God trying to tell us something? Did Jesus know what he was saying to Nicodemus in John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I SAY UNTO THEE, (EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT , HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!) These are the things that puzzle me, when I here teachings saying the opposite of what Jesus is saying. You must be born again! vs.10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master (teacher) of Israel, and knowest not these things? I know the teachings of Paul tells us about the grace of God, apart from works! But I know, and have never found an explicit statement where he (Paul) saying baptism by immersion was included as one of the works he was speaking about! For he himself was told to "arise and be baptized and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord". Acts 22:16. |

67 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53118 | ||
I could agree with all that you are saying here, (grace is found in each, by the will of the Father), but my understanding includes what Jesus tells us to do to be saved, hearing, believing, repenting, confessing the name of Jesus Christ before men and being baptized for the remission of sins, and living a faithful life for Jesus. | ||||||
68 | where did this teaching come from? | Acts 2:37 | Grace and Truth | 53117 | ||
I agree with you here, but don't miss my point, there is no grace without God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the gospel! If you remove one, you have none. |

Yes that's true, and the Logos was at his side then, Eph.1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: One and the same! God's grace was planned before the world was made. |

73 | What does water baptism do? | Matt 3:15 | Grace and Truth | 53107 | ||
My friend, What I am saying is, in this whole thing about salvation, that water baptism is included in God's grace through faith plan, and I stand by that! Everywhere salvation is someone has been baptized by immersion, and your question is weather or not it is connected with salvation? If we sreach the book of Acts carefully we can see that baptism is connected with salvation by garce, Acts 2:38, 8:36-38, 10:44-48, 16:30-34, 19:1-5, 22:16. If baptism by immersion was not necessary for salvation it would not be in the bible. Now this must be said, IT TAKES FAITH IN GOD'S WORD TO BELIEVE THAT POINT! GREAT FAITH! I say that because many have been taught for so long that baptism is not a part of God's salvation plan, but the bible teaches different. Men are to Hear the gospel, Romans 10:17. Believe it John 20:30,31 Repent of their sins Luke 13:3,5 Confess the name of Jesus Christ before men Matt 10:32,33 Be baptized for the remission of sins, Acts 22:16; 2:38; Live faithful to the Lord, Rev 2:10 You have seen many alter calls that don't include these points, because men are teaching for doctrine, the commandments of men. Matt 15:9 Baptism is something men submit to, no one can baptized their self, because we are dead because of sins. |

1 Cor 15:29 Paul use the word "they" and not "we" so if the reference was to ,"If Jesus was not resurrected", he would include himself, because as he stated in the beginning of the chapter, that he "delivered unto them first of all that which I also received" therefore they were being baptized for other people who have passed on. 6) What does Paul refer to when he speaks of "baptism for the dead"? (29) - Of the many different explanations that have been offered, the one making most sense to me is that Paul is speaking of the inconsistency of those who deny the resurrection while at the same time practicing a form of "vicarious baptism". Notice that Paul refers to "they" who were doing this, not "we" (i.e., the apostles). Paul in this passage is neither openly condemning or justifying the practice. He simply uses the practice of others to demonstrate the inconsistency of such practice when denying the resurrection of the dead. Whether we should practice such a rite as "baptism for the dead" today must be determined from passages elsewhere. All we find elsewhere concerning baptism is that it requires faith and repentance of the one being baptized. This would preclude the practice of "vicarious baptism." "In reference to Romans 6:3-4, baptism is symbolic of our burial and resurrection with Christ. It is not the water, or even the act, that brings about "newness of life". As it says in I Corinthians 15:45,"So also it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became a living soul.' The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." It is the Holy Spirit quickens us, bringing us out of the grave we were in". In your above statement, what grave are you refering too? You stated, "that it's not the water, but John 3:5 says we must be born of the water and the spirit to enter the kingdom of God. So sense Jesus made referance to the water, and the spirit, something must be there, and it's there because he said so! When we look at Romans 6:3-5 we must notice the power in being baptized for the remission of our sins. Philppians 3:10-11 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his suffering, being made conformable unto his death: 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. This is what makes baptism in the name of Jesus so Powerful, He said, "the WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE". This is why when Jesus spoke Mark 16:16 This is our SALVATION! 1John 5:1-4, that you brought into light, dont leave out vs.5,6,8 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by WATER and BLOOD, even Jesus Christ; not by WATER ONLY, BUT BY WATER, AND BLOOD. AND IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT BEARETH WITHNESS, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH. 8 AND THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR WITHNESS IN EARTH, THE SPIRIT,AND THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE. |

I think the problem is weather or not we need to do what God said. The Grace of God is simply his word to us, if we did not have instructions (THE BIBLE) WE would have no hope in this life. Do you remember Naaman,the king of Syria, with leprosy, 2Kings 5:1-14 let's look at verse 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of lsrael? may I not wash in them, and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash and be clean? This came from the Lord God to the prophet, to tell Naaman what he must do to be clean. The same as what Jesus said to be save, it came from God. 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. What I learn from this is whatever God tells us to do and for whatever reason, we should do it. 1Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold to OBEY IS BETTER than sacrifice, and to HEARKEN than the fat of rams. We learn here that faith only is not enough in God's sight. "The important baptism is the baptism of the holy spirit and being born of the Spirit. John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the *Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again' [or, from above]" Compare Titus 3:5" You miss verse 5 in John 3, you must be born of the water and the spirit to enter the kingdom of God! these are the words of Jesus, and they must be obeyed! When it come to the grace of God we fail to understand what grace is; John 1:16-17 Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,(Grace) and the Word (Grace) was with God, and the Word (Grace) was God. 14 And the Word (Grace) was made flesh, and dwelt among us ( and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. This is how I see it, the grace in Eph.2:8-9 is the word of the Lord God. Men interpret it as "unmerited favor". I think we should let the bible interpret it. |

1 Cor 15:29 shows something about baptism that you might not have thought of. The members in this church were being baptized in water for their dead relatives, (not that the practice was right but this is what they were doing) and Paul addressed it, this shows the necessity of baptism and the resurrection. Romans 6:3,4 says we are buried with Christ into his death, because we are dead to sins, and we are raised up out of the watery grave of baptism to walk in the newness of life, vs 5 say we are planted, (what does that mean, when you plant something you place it under something, earth or water, in this case water) we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection, (when we come up out of the water) Acts 8:36-38 the eunuch. "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 resurrection) the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip,that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. By the way hears the answer to the question "what if you were in the desert" This was a desert vs. 26. God will make a way! WAS THE EUNUCH SAVED? About Acts 11:16 that was a sign to the Jews vs 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were "astonished", (at the sign) as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. Now notice if they were saved by speaking with tongues which was an outward sign, how can baptism be an outward sign of an inward thing? It cannot be two signs for the same thing can it? Matt 16:19 Peter had the right to blind (command) and loose, he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord, which is by the authority of Jesus Christ. This is the ONE Baptism! The one that Jesus commanded. | ||||||

This is what I learned from you and your (faith only) group, you say that salvation is by (faith only), but yet you won't use (faith only) in what Jesus says for you to be saved, John 5:38-47, vs.47 "But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? The words of Jesus are very important to our salvation, but yet you all don't believe what he has to say on the subject of baptism for the remission of sins. John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciple indeed: 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Here are some Jews with (faith only) but they were told by Jesus, that they must continue in his words, and that if they did they would know the truth, and the truth would make them free. It takes strong faith in what the bible saids, to be saved, but the (faith only) folks only believe certain things in the bible. When I first signed on to this forum, I stated what I believe the bible teaches on the subject of salvation, and I was attacted, and was accused of salvation by "works" doctrine, but all I stated was what the bible says, Mark 16:16, Matt 28:19, Luke 24:47, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:37-38, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3,4 etc. Salvation comes through believing what Jesus tells us to do. John 8:47 Jesus said, He that is of God heareth God's WORDS: ye therefore HEAR THEM NOT, BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF GOD! John 10:1-5 Jesus says you must come through the door, vs 7 He saids I am the door, He's the one who said we must be baptized for the remission of our sins, but the (faith only) folks say no, no, no; baptism is not necessary for salvation, and of course these are the words of men! Now who will you believe? Jesus or the (faith only) folks? Now hear the words of Jesus, in John 12:47-50, AND "IF" any MAN HEAR "MY" "WORDS" and "BELIEVE NOT" (THE FAITH ONLY FOLKS) I JUDGE HIM NOT: FOR I CAME NOT TO JUDGE THE WORLD, BUT TO "SAVE" THE WORLD. 48 "HE THAT "REJECTETH ME" AND "RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS": (Now what do you all say about Mark 16:16, not inspired, is that rejection or Not). HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: "THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. Mark 16:16 was spoken by Jesus but you all REJECT IT; for (FAITH ONLY) and with pride and a smile you tell all on this forum that Jesus's word means NOTHING TO YOU! and that you are GLAD THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH "LOOPS AND HOOPS" to be SAVED. 49 FOR I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF MYSELF; BUT THE FATHER WHICH SENT ME, HE GAVE ME A "COMMANDMENT", WHAT I SHOULD SAY, AND WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK. Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND IS BAPTIZED, SHALL BE SAVED, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT (FAITH ONLY FOLKS) SHALL BE DAMNED. 50 AND I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, (MARK 16:16) EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK. You might say that I am being rude, for shouting, but I tried to be nice about this, but it's called "blindness" by those who respond. |

Who was it then that told men to be baptized in water then? You seem to think I made this up in my own mind and that I'm trying to force it on people, I would not say one word about it if the bible didn't speak on it, but it does. You love to go to Acts 16:29-31, then you end the point at vs. 31, but the bible tells us what the jailer was told to believe, the jailer didn't know who Jesus was, so Paul had to tell the jailer who Jesus was. vs.32 says "And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. What we need to know is (WHAT DID PAUL TELL THE JAILER AND HIS FAMILY) did he tell them to be baptized in his message, if not, why did they go the same hour of the night? And you all say it's not necessary, you tell Paul that what he did was not necessary! If you were there, would you have baptized the jailer and his family that night? From what you tell me, you wouldn't do it. No dout it was cold that night, but they all went out and were baptized. vs.34 They rejoiced! |
