    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Ok no worries I know this takes up a lot of time. God bless. Hey, God bless, yes whenever you get time and consider about raising us up from the dead "And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    a note about the Halakah law of the OT Jews "Immersion, or baptism, did not simply begin in the 1st century A.D. It was a common practice ever since the Torah was given at Sinai. Whenever an individual contracted uncleaness (טֻמְאָה), they were required to immerse in a mikve (מִקְוֶה), or a...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Interesting that none of those men in Hebrews 11 were water baptized, And yes when Christ Jesus was in those men, there will be evidence to show that faith. like fruit from a tree, a good tree produces good fruit. But it cannot be defined in a carnal ordinance that all can do wether they were...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    This is not what I taught. I did use Jesus words in Acts 1 and 11 where he shows that John baptized with water but they would be baptized with the Holy Ghost. But this was not what I was talking about when I talk of the baptism into Jesus Christ . It is evident though that Jesus does show the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I think this is a bit of the misunderstanding that comes up at times here. When I talk of the Spirit baptizing us into the body of Christ or the spiritual immersion into Jesus Christ. This is different than the baptism with the Holy Ghost that Jesus gives. All the apostles were in Christ Jesus...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    No, the one baptism, must be the one saving baptism. Yes baptism saves, but not water baptism, as we see from scripture. "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    First of all, you changed scripture to fit your doctrine and that is dangerous brother, maybe correct this, you said, "“Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of God he is none of His."(Romans 4:9) You...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The danger here is that you might make some believe they need another man to help them be saved by following water baptism and depending on another persons work to baptize them. Many groups teach this by the way, that you need another man to baptize you to be saved. So salvation for them depends...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello brother, God bless, I must still continue to stand firm in what i see the scriptures say, bear with me if I strongly resist some things here. The Jews were being called to come to salvation in Christ "initial salvation" it seems clear because Peter said to be baptized in the name of...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello again, God bless, When I read the words about "one baptism" in Ephesians. I see this as the one saving baptism into Christ by the Spirit. This is the vital saving one. The other baptisms we read of are important but this must be referring to the one saving one of 1 Peter 3:21, and Mark...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I , like you believe a believer can have an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God, This heart get hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. We come into Gods kingdom through faith and grace, belief. But we can depart from God through "unbelief" not works. The sinful things can...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello, God bless brother, No Peters words do not demolish my belief from scripture in Christ.As I shall show here. There is alot of misunderstanding I find when discussing spiritual matters. And the baptism in the name of jesus Christ or into Jesus Christ is perhaps one of the most profound...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    when Jesus said that John indeed baptized with water, but... he was not speaking of words men say while baptizing with water, such as "in Jesus name" or "for repentance" etc or whatever might have been said. He was specifying the baptism, (immersion) in water. the water part was what defined...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The Jewish believers were from Acts 2 still going to the temple and under the law and customs and zealous for the law for a long time after Christ death. This is clearly seen in Acts 2, 10, 15, and 21 etc. Thousands of Jews were still keeping the law and customs of the Jews and sacrificing...
