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)

There is not one drop of water in Romans 6. Your version of "teaching correctly" is unbiblical and heresy.

Are you trying to deceive other people or trying to deceive yourself. Have you ever considered taking a reading comprehension course?

Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?

Matthew 7:21-25
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:22-23
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. Can you imagine what it would be like to be baptized under the watchful eye of Christ Himself?

Act 8:26-40
But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth. “In humiliation His judgment was taken away; Who will relate His generation? For His life is removed from the earth.” The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus.


Acts 10:47-48 Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?

Acts 22:12-16
“A certain Ananias, a man who was devout by the standard of the Law, and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing near said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very time I looked up at him. And he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear an utterance from His mouth. For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard. Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’

Ephesians 5:26 …that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,


1st John 5:6 This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bearth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

1st John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.


Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; be he that believeth not shall be damned.

Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyer rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of Him.

Galatians 1:8-9
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

Acts 8:12
But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike.

Acts 10:48
And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

Acts 16:33
And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

Acts 18:8
Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.

Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Romans 6:3-7
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.

I see that you should be looking in the mirror with your ad hominems! How dare you correct the Holy Spirit and take out being baptized into Christ Jesus, and substituting the heresy of "water" in His place! The entire passage clearly states what we are baptized into... Jesus Christ, not water!

I made the assertion that there was not one drop of water in Romans 6. You responded with an insult and could not prove me wrong!

Many people do NOT know how to read Scripture because they are not guided by the Holy Spirit!
But YOU do know how to read scripture and YOU are guided by the Holy Spirit?

The scripture speak over and over and over again about water baptism. You stand against Christ and His Words attempting to lead people astray....who is it that you do his bidding? Who would want to corrupt the Gospel?

There is not one drop of water in Romans 6. Your version of "teaching correctly" is unbiblical and heresy.
Pulling out a few verses to try to make a doctrine true is not permitted.

footnotes from Hebraic Bible :
Yahweh is a family name consisting of Yah Yahweh the Father and Yahshua Yahweh the son.

In Mathew 28:19 the disciples are told to baptize or immerse in the 'name', it is singular in the original Aramaic.
When one is immersed into covenant relationship it is done into the family name of Yahweh by the shed blood of Yahshua, the son of Yahweh.

The Peshitta clearly has the correct rendering of Yahshua Yahweh here showing that Yahweh is a family name.

You can never come to that proper conclusion when using the Greek translation with pagan titles inserted.

1 Keeping the proper doctrine that was taught by the elders was extremely important in the early congregation. Also, 'breaking bread' is an ancient phrase and simply means eating a meal together. (Acts 2:46)

2 This can only be done with a full 100% voluntary submission to YHWH and each other, something that is sorely lacking in western culture today.

Typical slanderous remark. I never said those scriptures were heretical or that Christ is a heretic. It’s your misinterpretation of those verses which result in your perverted water gospel (immersed in H20 or condemned) that is heretical.

I promote the gospel of Christ which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:11-12)

1 Corinthians 1:21 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who BELIEVE.

Quite of few scriptures to take a pooh pooh on. Very simple and very clear. Do you have an evil intent to twist the Gospel or are you someone that needs a course on reading comprehension.

*(Eph.2:9)

1. Show me where the word of God says BAPTISM IS A WORK?

I've never mentioned "baptism" concerning Eph 2:9! "Work" yes.

You have pick out the one and only thing in which men allow others to do to them, and you call it a work. How is that?

You fall on your own words when you said, "men allow others to do them. Is not the word "do" is work?

2. (Titus 3:5) actually uses the word "WASHING". (could refer to water)[/QUOTE]

Do you even know the meaning of the word "regeneration?"

I find the word "WASH" in Paul's conversion in (Acts 22:16).

When a person is being baptized in water he does not call on the name of the Lord .Look, I don't know where you learned your theology but it is NOT the study from the Bible.

To God Be The Glory

More slander. I already previously explained those scriptures to you (which do not support your perverted water gospel of immersed in water or condemned) but you just don't have eyes to see or ears to hear and there is a reason for that.

So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth. “In humiliation His judgment was taken away; Who will relate His generation? For His life is removed from the earth.” The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus.

Acts 10:47-48 Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?

Acts 22:12-16
“A certain Ananias, a man who was devout by the standard of the Law, and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing near said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very time I looked up at him. And he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear an utterance from His mouth. For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard. Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’

Ephesians 5:26 …that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

1st John 5:6 This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bearth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

1st John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; be he that believeth not shall be damned.

Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyer rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of Him.

Galatians 1:8-9
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

But when they believed Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being baptized, men and women alike.

And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

Acts 16:33
And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

Acts 18:8
Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.

Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Romans 6:3-7
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.
