Bible Note: Tim, You are mistaken about John 3:5 or at least in the version of the bible I am reading (I don't mean that sarcastically either). John 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly truly I say to you, unless one is born of water (shallow grave)(not referring to physical birth) an the Spirit (Jesus was filled with the Spirit during his baptism), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh (physical birth) and that which is born of the Spirit (though baptism in water) is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, you must be born again. Without baptism we don't recieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the life giver, the Spirit of Truth. Can the Holy Spirit live in a body that has not died to sin, certainly not. We need the Holy Spirit to teach us the word, to lead us in to paths of truth and righteousness. What would clear all this up is pastors preached a sermon on repentance of sin and explained exactly what sin is according to the bible and then ask all those who wanted to repent of their sins and be baptized to come forward and baptize them. That's what they did in the bible and that's are example. Sounds simple to me! |
