Subject: And what about those who will die before |
Bible Note: Hank, " Holding imperatively onto the doctrine of the regenerative power of water to effect man's salvation almost invariably goes hand in hand with the doctrine of works salvation," I cannot understand why when discussion baptismal regenration, its opponents alway leave the Holy Spirit out of the equation as if the proponents of baptismal regeneration do that, which they do not. it is not the water but the holy Spirit working in and through the water that effects the grace of baptism as John 3:5 says "by water AND the Holy Spirit." To always refer to "water" and leave out the Holy Spirit is to errect a straw man. Was is the water of the Jordan that cleansed Naaman of leprosy or God working in and through the water? In both cases God has chosen to work through water . Emmaus |
