I'll take Jesus' Blood over your water!
Hebrews 9.26 shows indeed that it's the blood of Christ that purges the conscience, not water. Ephesians 5.26 speaks of 'the washing of water by the word', which is about the cleansing effect of the Scriptures, not about water baptism.

Show me the word SYMBOL in (Acts 2).

Deut.4:2 / 1Cor.4:6
Maybe your water is polluted? I'll stick with the Blood of Jesus!

1 John 1:7
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

I have NEVER said water cleansed anything.

If I did show me where I said it.

OR ________.

So stop equating water baptism with the Blood of Jesus!


Ac 4:14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.15 ¶ But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard


(1Peter4:11)

Those who equate water baptism with the Blood of Jesus will burn in Hell!

Ok, I must have missed your posts. Fill us in.

To contact the blood of Jesus one must teach (Rom. 6:3-6) correctly.

It is in a burial in water that the believer is BAPTIZED INTO THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

This is how (and where) one contacts the blood.(Mark 16:16) (Acts 2:38,47 ; 8;5,12,13,26-40 ; 22:16)

Blood only can forgive sins. (Mt.26:28) (Eph.1:7) (Col.1:14) (Rev.1:5)

The question is, When does the blood wash away our sins? (Acts 22:16) (Mark 16:16)

Oh my, your church has deceived you. Water will not wash away your sins!

In Bulgaria they answer YES and NO by shaking their head opposite of the way we do in the USA.

If an American went to Bulgaria he might say they had it wrong.

So all who can't get baptized will burn in Hell?
I have to admit that you are the first one I have seen say this so I have not had the opportunity to study this in-depth so I will let it go through to the keeper as I am not well versed enough to address the issue.
