AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: What's in a Name? |
Bible Note: The name in which one is baptized in is only to note "in association with". Romans 5:1 tells us we were justifed when we BELIEVED. Justified means Just-if-i'd never sinned. You can't be declared any more sin free than THAT. Water baptism can do no more than symbolize your new life in Christ. Romans 8:7 tells us the carnal man (unsaved) can not submit to God's will. It's IMPOSSILBE for the carnal man to do so. So let's stop this believing that your church can get the unregenerated people to submit to water baptism. Jesus Christ is still saving people OUT OF the Jesus Only Movement. http://www.gospeloutreach.net/opgospel.html |
