I have heard many people say that baptism is not important as it does not determine our salvation in any way shape or form. They say they can be a Christian without being baptized. I ask the question, can you?
Precious friend, I would have to
agree with that;
Either it IS
necessary or it is NOT
necessary.
Why are we so
double-minded? From my
experience, I have been through the
infant stuff
twice, and once in the deceit + once in the
misunderstanding of the immersion method
[ as a new babe-In-Christ ].
My research found
14 Different problems/
traditions/reasons for
water among the
Many (44M?)
Different/Disagreeing Severely
Divided and
Weak organizations/religions.
My
study (solved
All this
Confusion, for me anyway) summed up:
Three Bible baptisms distinctions and Differences
"Prophecy/covenants/Law" {
earthly} gospel of the kingdom, ISRAEL "Prominent!"
{past/future}
►►► The Twelve
Were Sent to {water} baptize! ◄◄◄
The TWO Main (of 12) baptismS =
A) water, For remission of sins!:
(Matthew_3:5-6; Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31;
Luke 7:29-30; Acts_10:37)
(Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16; Acts_2:38, 22:16; Ezekiel_36:25 KJB)
+
B)
WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST,
for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38, 8:15-17, 11:16 KJB)
Water
Was Necessary in God's
Previous Dispensation of:
prophecy/Covenants/Law
Rightly Divided (
2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That
Differ” (
online)
God's
Other Context of:
"Mystery/GRACE!" { Heavenly! } Gospel Of GRACE, Jew And Gentile "Equal!"
{Current, Today!} . . . . . . . . . . "Grace Through faith ↑ Body Of Christ ↑"
►►► Paul Was
Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄
Today: Only
ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION,
Spiritually Identifying members In (The
ONE Body Of)
CHRIST!!
(
Ephesians 4:5; Colossians_2:12; Galatians_3:27;
Romans_6:3-4;
1 Corinthians 12:13 KJB)
Thus,
water is
no longer necessary,
Today, Under God's Dispensation Of Grace.
+
Fellowship With Christ, And "with each other, is by
Mutual faith In Him,"
Not by:
14 Different and Disagreeing
traditions (Condemned By Jesus? (Mat 15:3-6; Mar 7:8-9)
of
Confusion, Correct?
-------------------------
Thus,
if water is still (44M with
no Peace?)
necessary Today, then the "math is
problematic"
=
two baptisms, Correct?
How is that
Only ONE Baptism? Thus, I
agree with God:
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of Peace, as in all churches of the saints."
(1 Corinthians 14:33) [ The God Of Peace, I have personally known for 44 years! ]
Grace, Peace, And JOY In Christ, And In His Word Of Truth,
Rightly
Divided (+ I and II)!
