    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Remember that water is not for remission of sins. without the shedding of blood there is no remission. The Ot types were shadows and figures of a future reality. We read these verses about remission of sins Heb 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Sorry fiend, not one scripture for such a assumption. And there is not two baptisms that make up the one baptism. Jesus spoke of Johns water baptism of the past and the new baptism with the Spirit of the present time in Acts 1. Not the tow making up the one.There is one Lord one faith one...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I have read and studied Acts in great detail, ever verse. This chapter shows that Peter was still in some measure following the law and the customs of the Jews the Halakah law and he was not understanding the Gentiles are to be preached to and to come into the church, even though this was...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I feel stronger now that water baptism is not for the New Covenant and that the jewish believers were still following in some respects the Old Testament washings and Johns water baptism tan before after these discussions. So far the facts seem strong in this area. Especially the Jew and Gentile...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Here are some of the facts we can consider when proving that water baptism was not needed in the New Covenant and clearly not part of the gospel or a add on to be saved by works as part of the gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4, no water baptism added or circumcision or Sabbath keeping or the Mosaic law or...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello, God bless The baptism with the Holy Ghost ( given by Jesus when people have Jesus Christ in them) is not the saving baptism, for the saving baptism is the baptism into Christ or into one body Gal 3 and 1 Cor 12;13 etc etc etc. The Baptism with the Spirit does in some respect replace...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The Light of Christ that shines in the heart is a mysterious. "John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did...

    "Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 4:5...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    what? Obviously unbelievers and those who are not in Christ did not obey the gospel. They do not die with Christ be burried or risen with him daily. They do not pick up their cross daily etc. OI am not talking about men in the flesh or any man outside of Christ obeying anythings to be saved...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Np, we read in scripture that men can simply seek the spiritual gifts and ask God who gives to all who ask. Also we read about others laying hands on people who are not only apostles. consider your correction, "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not true every instance where I posted shows they were baptized with the Holy Ghost. It even says so in the text "8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    All believers obey the gospel by daily dying with Christ and being buried with him and rising with him to walk in the Spirit in the newness of life as God works in them to will and to do and to make them perfect unto every good work, working in them that which is well pleasing through Jesus...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not true, again, consider your correction from scripture here, "8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The prophecy began at Pentecost and will continue to be ongoing until Christ return. There are other parts of the prophecy that have not happened yet, as we read "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello again, God bless, I know you seem to say this possibly based on your understanding of faith and works. But we see no direct scripture saying that. You are assuming that based on your understanding of works and faith (as I see from your discussions) Some says you must be water baptized to...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hello brother, God bless, Yes, there are many things in scripture that have been overlooked by some and the situations they apply to and the circumstances. If some just assume (as many do) that if they did it in Acts then we should to", Then they would confuse many issues as we are seeing in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Not so, nowhere in scripture do we see the gifts ending for the church. We see Paul even encourage spiritual gifts for all the Corinthians and in other places as well. Also the apostles and prophets did not cease either, we see this in scripture there were other apostles and prophets after the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    continued part 3... You just said water baptism is the type. The type then it is not the substance or reality of the other. But there is only one way to be saved, by repentance and grace through faith in Gods righteousness which is revealed in jesus Christ who died for our sins , was buried...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    continued part from part 1.... Matthew 28 does not mention water, nor does Mark 16 you added "water to the text". Some places we can assume water and other places not. and 1 Peter 3:21 is not talking about water baptism saving, but rather the immersion ( baptism) into Christ and through faith...
