Subject: Mark 16:16 what does it say? |
Bible Note: You said in your answer that Christians "get into Christ" "by faith". But vs27 says "For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have PUT ON CHRIST you can't change that! It clearly says the Galatians were BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST! UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING HERE TO YOU AND ALL THAT WILL READ THIS INFORMATION. ALL OF THIS IS DONE THROUGH "FAITH" ROMANS 10:17 WE GET FAITH BY HEARING; THROUGH FAITH WE REPENT;LUKE 13:3 THROUGH FAITH WE CONFESS THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST;MATT 10:32 THROUGH FAITH WE ARE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST!!! GAL 3:27 WE WALK IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE UNTIL DEATH.ROM 6:3-5 Your statement is wrong! "4. We are sons and heirs according to the PROMISE God made to Abraham. Abraham was declared rightous for believing God. The Israelites were declared rightous not by following the Law of Moses, but by believing God. No other conditions were added to the Abrahamic Covenant. Therefore, the elect of Israel "got into Christ" by faith in God's redemption, and the Law was not another condition. Christians "get into Christ" by faith, NOT works, and baptism and the Lord's Supper are not conditions or means to becoming part of the Abrahamic Covenant". Paul knew who he was talking to, they did not have a problem with baptism, they had a problem with the Jewish believers teaching that salvation came through the Law of Moses. Two things you are in error about! 1. We are NOT under any Abrahamic Covenant, We are under the Covenant of Jesus Christ Only! Heb8:13;9:14-17. 2. vs27 says WE GET INTO CHRIST BY BEING BAPTIZED INTO HIM, AND WE PUT HIM ON ALSO! You will not understand Gal.3:15-17 if you will not read it to the end of the chapter! Acts 22:16 Paul was told to arise, and be baptized, and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord. Did Luke make a mistake here when he connected baptism with washing away Paul's sins? COL2:13 GOD OPERATES ON THOSE WHO SUBMIT TO BAPTISM. BAPTISM IS CONNECTED WITH SALVATION BY WHO? GOD, CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! Remember I am not the one who wrote this in God's word, the Holy Spirit gave it to the apostles and others! Jesus said in John 12:48-50 HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECIEVETH NOT MY "WORD" HATH ONE THAT JUDGETH HIM: THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY. FOR I HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF MYSELF; BUT THE FATHER WHICH SENT ME, HE GAVE ME A "COMMANDMENT", WHAT I SHOULD SAY, AND WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK. AND I KNOW THAT HIS "COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING:" WHATSOEVER I SPEAK THEREFORE, EVEN AS THE FATHER SAID UNTO ME, SO I SPEAK!!!! MARK 16:16 HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. |
