C section births don't cause the water to break.

Those folks are not born of the water per John 3 per your logic.

Those folks cannot enter into the kingdom.
They dont understand my friend . Faith in JESUS saves , if our faith is in HIM then we would be water baptized as well .
Doing and loving all things HE did teach and command . IF the early church taught it and did it , THEN WE CONTINUE IN IT as well .
Its that simple .

ASB(Acts skippers Bible)...

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, NOTHING!

39 Jesus did it all at the cross!

40 Just do a teency work in confessing...

Mocking Scripture is a very serious sin! You had better ask God to forgive your for mocking His word!

I am only creating a translation that Acts skippers would be comfortable with.

Acts skippers are the mocked, via their views of Acts 2;38, Romans 6 and Mark 16:16 etc.

Rom 6 ASB(Acts skippers Bible)...


3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were NOT baptized BUT WERE SPIRIT FILLED into Jesus Christ were NOT baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are NOT buried with him by baptism into death BUT OF THE SPIRIT.

Mocking Scripture is a very serious sin! You had better ask God to forgive your for mocking His word! (more than once)

You think skipping Acts 2:38 is not mocking scripture?

I can see that the redefinitions of Acts skippers are bringing conviction.

Buried alive?

Mkay.

You asked "Can a person be alive in Christ before being buried with Christ via baptism per Rom 6?" And I answered in the affirmative.

What does that have to do with being buried alive? Baptism is not a requirement for salvation. It is a symbolic statement that one is burying the "old man" and arising as a "new man" in Christ.

You say a person is alive before baptism per Rom 6.

Romans 6 is a burial.

You bury them alive.

Scary stuff.

It takes folks that are mature enough to repent to qualify for baptism for the remission of their sins per Acts 2:38.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with that statement. No newly birthed child is mature at the start of their life and neither are newly born again Christians. As in nature maturity comes with age and the right teaching.

That is perhaps a very clever statement in your eyes, but it is irrational to others. Nobody is "skipping Acts" because they disagree with your obvious misinterpretation. You think you're being funny and/or cute, but you're being blasphemous.

I think we are speaking of the same things.

No, I am trying my best to show folks that have skipped and taught folks to skip Acts 2:38 that they do not have remission of sins and forbid remission of sins to their converts.

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Obey it!
