61 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56208 | ||
"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. |

62 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56203 | ||
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! |

63 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56200 | ||
"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. |

64 | 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. |

65 | 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. |

66 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56186 | ||
"if you recieved the Lord on a Monday,and did not get baptized until Sunday,do you begin your new life on Sunday after your baptized or on the Monday when you recieved Jesus into your heart...the answer would be on Monday for this is when you died to the old self". Your above statement is not true. Because it does not follow scripture, and Rom 6:4 is very clear how the process go's. It says "we the dead man, are buried with Christ by baptism into death: that "like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. If we look at this text in it context, we will see the steps that lead to a new life. We are Dead, Then Buried, Then we Rise to Walk in Newness of Life. "The Bible Is Right" This is how the bible teaches it. |

67 | Can we stop preaching baptism? | John 3:5 | The Bible is Right | 56141 | ||
I have read alot of what's been said on the subject last night when I used the search tool on the right side of the page. Turely we are saved by grace, and you have made some very valuable points on this subject, and so have many others, but remember the "bible is right" not us, we must go on what the bible says about any subject, and not be lock in on one view! When I read the many posts last night I notice that the majority of the posts were on the side of (race by faith only) which I believe is not a bible doctrine, I know that Eph 2:8-9 says we are saved by grace through faith, but if it is taken out of context it will be by faith (alone), but if we take it in context it includes all that Jesus and the apostles said on the subject of salvation. | ||||||
68 | Can we stop preaching baptism? | John 3:5 | The Bible is Right | 56100 | ||
I think there are some misunderstanding in this subject that we all need to look at. 1. Baptism came from God; Matt 21:25-27 therefore it's of grace! 2. When Jesus died Blood and water came from his body. John 19:34 God is trying to tell us something Here, are we listening? 3. John the Baptist's baptism was for the remission of sins. Mark 1:4 4. Peter Preached the same thing about Baptism Acts 2:38. 5. Paul was told to be baptized to wash away his sins. Acts 22:16. I could go on but I think that's enough to help us see God's purpose for baptism being in his plan for salvation. So when we view what God's word has to say about a subject, it would do us good to take all of it, and not leave out anything including baptism. Here's a little something about Eph 2:1-9 Who was Paul talking to? I believe they were all baptized for the remission of sins in the name of Jesus Christ already, so they knew what the grace of God was. Eph 1:2-13. Eph 2:1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins" goes hand and hand with Rom. 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many of "us" as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death: 4 Therefore "we" are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so "we" also should walk in "newness" of life. also vs. 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have "obeyed" form the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. We must obey God!!! |

Hello to all forum members, This is some neat things being disguss on this forum, I found site just an hour ago, and was reading some of the posts that were posted about faith, and Abraham. Can I just add something to the disgussion! I read Romans 4:16-25 vs.16 says everything was based on the promise God made to Abraham, that he would be the father of many nations vs.17. Faith of Abraham was imputed to him when he performed bringing in the seed of Isaac, that God who gives life to the dead and calls into existens things at are not. vs.18 Who, when things were against hope, believed in hope, that he might be the father of many nations, according to that which was (spoken), Thus shall your posterity (seed) be. vs.19-22 gives the answer to when it was credited for righteousness. 19 And not being weak in the faith he did not consider his own body, already dead,(here's faith) being a hundred years old; or the deadness of Sarah's womb. (This is the faith that saves) vs. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but being strong in faith, gave glory to God; 21 In full assurance that God was able to perform what he had promised. 22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness. Question? Was it mere consent, or was it the fact that he and his wife was to old to have children, and he and his wife had relations and she conceived in her old age? They trusted God, and that what he credited for righteousness. vs.23-25 says we are to have the same kind of faith that Abraham had, the dead received life by faith. Remember how he did it! |
