Subject: are you required to be baptisted again |
Bible Note: Naaman would not have been healed if he hadnt obeyed,even if he had repented. It was Gods commandment or shall we say requirement for his healing. In 2nd kings were talking law and not grace., looking at pride, stubbornness,mans wrath, submission and obedience..Math 9;29 speaks of healing as a matter of faith and healing before salvation. Look at John cpt 5;4-7 the people at the pool were still under law as Naaman. Now sence these people were healed before salvation would they not hafe to be rebabtised under the name of Jesus after they repented?In Rev 2;5, these were christians who had left their first love, which is God. So what are the 1st works of a Christian, my thoughts 1. Believe, 2. Repent and 3. Be Babtised. What do you think they are?Babtism has to have 1. availibity, 2. oppertunity. The babtism of John the Babtist was not of salvation but only repentance, so then would not the people who had been babtised by John hafe to be rebabtised after they believed in Jesus? My thought Yes. Your thought? The Bible says that there are three Babtisms ,1.Water, 2. Holy Ghost, 3. Fire. If it were not so it would not be in there. Babtism is no where to be found in old testiment.Math 3;11. Some Christians rededicate themselves by being rebabtise as an open show of humbelness, I do. These are just some thoughts.We are going in the same direction brother with just a few different interpretations, thats ok I still love all of Gods Children. |
