Subject: Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? |
Bible Note: Raven, You have done an admirable job on this thread. You certainly have more endurance than me. I fear the issue will never resolve with any convincing the other. I will end only by referring to that great Epistle of faith, Romans: "through him we have received the apsoltleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name among the Gentiles." Romans 1:5 and "but now manifested through the prophetic writings and. accodring to the command of the eternal God, made known to all tha nations, to bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forevere and ever. Amen." Romans 16:26-27 And a few other verse to consider in this matter. Matt. 28:18-20 18: And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20: teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Col 2:11-12 11: In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; 12: and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Ex 4:24-26 24: At a lodging place on the way the LORD met him and sought to kill him. 25: Then Zippo'rah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' feet with it, and said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" 26: So he let him alone. Then it was that she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision. Romans 6:3-4 3: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4: We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
