61 | Could this be right? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 79322 | ||
Tim, I wonder why you insist on misunderstanding. I hope that you don't do it on purpose. No one has ever suggested that the saving power is in the work. We all agree on where the saving power is. However, God does require obedience to his word, commands, gospel. This appears to be where the disagreement really is. God bless |

62 | Possible that the all scholars wrong? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 79350 | ||
Ray, To borrow again from Disciplerami: Greetings, The UPPERCASE letters in the following represent the strained attempts to get around water baptism. Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 8:36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE, oops, er, THAT'S NOT PART OF THE GOSPEL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY PHILIP PREACHED BAPTISM. THE EUNUCH MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT BAPTISM AT SOME OTHER TIME] Acts 8:38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. [SAME AS LAST ANSWER] Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, [THAT'S NOT WATER BAPTISM BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE WORD 'WATER' THERE] God bless. |

Searcher 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." Heb 5:9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. ...

Searcher, I honestly don't even think your post deserves a response. You can't be serious, but I am going to pose this question to the forum. In fact, since once again a valuable discussion (which may have been in danger of convincing some) has been removed from the main page, I feel as though I am safe in telling you that you are being dishonest with your interpretation. To pick just one of the verses I quoted, does 2 Thess 1:8 (dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.) mean that we dont have to obey to be saved? In looking back to verse 7, what does it mean to have Jesus revealed in flaming fire dealing out retribution to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus? I hope you really are searching.

Sorry for jumping in, but I can't help it. The problem with your test is this: The context of any conversation determines varitions in the meaning of a word. The different passages you have cited which use the word "tongue" have differing contexts. It is just the same as looking up an english word in the dictionary and seeing that it has several distinct definitions. The context of the conversation will reveal the meaning. It would be wrong to apply only one definition of that word to each situation in which it was used. The same goes for your test. You cannot apply only one definition to every use of the word, because as your test has demonstrated that would be silly. Please excuse my interruption of your discussion, Sniper |

Q: How could water wash sins if water, which is physical, could only touch man's flesh and not his spirit, that is intangible? A: 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you -- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good onscience -- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the WASHING of regeneration AND RENEWING by the Holy Spirit, |

This is the second time in the last few days that I have seen the word 'moot'. Both times times it was used as an adjective describing an issue. Not being so smart, I looked up the definition of 'moot' in my Webster's New World Dictionary, Second College Edition. As an adjective it means 1. subject to or open for discussion or debate; debatable 2. so hypothetical as to be meaningless. I gather from the context of your post that you mean water baptism is so hypothetical as to be meaningless, and you say this after just proving that water baptism in the Biblical pattern is connected to the moment at which we believe the gospel. 2 Thess 1:8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 1 Cor 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was BURIED, and that He was RAISED on the third day according to the Scriptures, Col 2:12 having been BURIED with Him in baptism, in which you were also RAISED up with Him through FAITH in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. another interesting comparison: Col 2:11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, God bless |

Ray, I wish we could go onto other teachings, but we have still not layed the foundation. This point is far from 'moot' as you have used the word. If I ever reach a point where I consider teaching baptism as not worthy, I will be teaching a perverted gospel. I do not agree with your definition of the terms. I also do not think it is fair to intimate that because we don't agree that I am immature. Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Col 2:11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. See post 78406. God bless and have a good weekend:) |

"now God has turned me around " This is a statement that I have copied from your post. I agree with your definition of repentance. It does mean to change your mind and and turn from your sinful ways. However, I would like you to further explain the statement I copied from your post. Do you mean that the repentance is not an action of your own? I realize that God saves a person and it maybe that is all you mean, but it sounds like you are saying that God turned you from your sinful ways. Just trying to understand, sniper |

You have given good support that faith must be shown through action, otherwise it is useless. I am interested in the statement at the beginning if your post. Can you explain what you mean by, "There are people that capable of giving evidence of thier faith, but there are people that cannot." What people cannot give evidence of faith? |
