Subject: Isn't this verse saying that we rise to |
Bible Note: Acts 4:12 Can bring better understanding to this subject than any other verse I know. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved". In Acts 2:38 the power is in the name of Jesus Christ that allows baptism to save. This is why Paul had a problem with the church at corinth, the members claiming the names of different people who baptized them. 1Cor. 1:10-17, mainly vs.15 "Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name". Paul was afraid, This is why he was glad that he only baptized a few people. Notice vs 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the Name of Paul? You all take baptism far to lightly: You all need to ask this question Where did baptism come from? Jesus asked the chief priests and the elders this same question; do any one on the forum know the answer? When ever anyone handles the word of God we need to follow some simple rules: In his famous work Biblical Hermeneutics, M.S. Terry defined the concept of "analogy of faith." This principle "assumes that the Bible is a self-interpreting book, and what is obscure in one passage may be illuminated by another. No single statement or obscure passage of one book can be allowed to set aside a doctrine which is clearly established by many passages" (449). ") Concerning John 3:5, the word baptism does not appear anywhere in the Greek text. No form of the word occurs until v. 22, which is outside of the discoure and is found in a narrative passage describing the fact that both Jesus and John did some baptizing in the countryside." While it is true that the passage referenced (John 3:5 do not explicitly mention baptism, neither does it mention any allusion to repentance. Are we to assume that repentance is not required for redemption? Surely not. |
