    BAPTISM

    Works are not fruits. Fruits of the Spirits: Gal 5:22-25 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions...

    BAPTISM

    WRONG. Matt 23:10 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. NKJV Luke 12:12 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." NKJV John 14:26 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach...

    BAPTISM

    I see what you are saying but if you trust in man you will trust in any man that you think is right. Ps 118:8-9 8 It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes. NKJV Prov 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with...

    BAPTISM

    WRONG, any person who places their trust in man is to build on sand. The Holy Spirit is the only teacher of the children of God. But most religious people do not read their Bible. The story of religion is that so many want to be exalted over others in it so they can influence others for...

    BAPTISM

    Very religious reply to get around the truth. So God was talking through Peter, Peter just wasn't listening, RIGHT?

    BAPTISM

    I disagree. As I stated, my opinion is based on the fact that Peter did not know the Gentiles would be included according to Acts 10. In my opinion, the 4 gospels are a history of what happened when Jesus came to give the Jews a promised kingdom on this earth. They were meant to show the Jews...

    BAPTISM

    If that is what you believe its okay with me but I disagree. Peter did not know the Gentiles were included on the day of Pentecost. See Acts 10. Some day you will realize that the writings in the 4 gospels, and some of Acts, is on covenant grounds and not grace. The covenants were only given...

    I am done

    I don't think historyb is talking about the beliefs being different. It is the constant """PUT DOWN"" that many post on the forums. Truth will never win out against the religious. They take to much pride in themselves to let somebody post what they believe if it isn't what they believe. I...

    BAPTISM

    A person has to decide who Jesus is talking to. Jews, or both Jews and Gentiles. The covenant promises were only made to the Jews. The Holy Spirit was only promised to the Jews at that time. That is clear when you acknowledge that Peter did not know Gentiles were included until he was given...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    You are just another religious person who thinks they are so smart that they can get to heaven because of it. You think you have put me down just as the religious have always done. You would have been right in there throwing stones at Stephen. You show your CAIN self-righteousness. No, I...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    So you are saying you are the most learned in scripture than I am. Well that is what PRIDE does for you. You know nothing of my education in the scriptures. The Bible Colleges teach the theologies of Men. The ones that teach just teach their theology (opinions). What you are saying is that...

    The Gospel

    Spoken like a religious person who thinks they no longer sin in the flesh. It is just the other guy that does. Rom 3:20-23 ---God's Righteousness Through Faith 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    You are wrong. It is you that wants to take the words of God out of their context and apply them to make up a Theology that you think saves people. You are of those that take everything in the Bible, put them in a blender, chop them all up and come out with what YOU want., When you take...

    The Gospel

    A play on words. He saves people from the condemnation of their sins of the flesh. You, like others, only want to glory in your works of trying not to sin and trying to proclaim yourself as righteous in your flesh. But no one can keep the laws of God. That is why Jesus has made a way to save...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    I have given the scriptures in their context. It is the religious, and you, that take what is said in other contexts and try to show the scriptures I have given in context to be wrong. It is the religious, that in order to support their ideas, must make the scriptures argue against each other.

    The Gospel

    Only the religious want belief to be a work. A guest that if a person wants to believe his/her car will start in the morning they are working, right? To claim believing is a work is only putting up a smoke screen to cover the truth. Every man/womon Perhaps you are looking at it wrong. God...

    The Gospel

    1 Cor 15:1-4 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you first of all that...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    Mark 1:7-8 7 And he preached, saying,"There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. 8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." NKJV 1 Cor 12:12-13 12 For as the body is one and has many...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    Under grace, you know, that gospel that Jesus sent Paul to preach to the Gentile that did not include the commands under the Law of Moses. Under grace People are saved by placing their faith in what God (Jesus) did on the cross. People can not be saved by what they do. Only faith in what God...

    ABOUT BAPTISM

    It is clear to me that there are only two things being mentioned in the conversation, WATER and SPIRIT at first and then Jesus clarifies the water is the flesh. You and, the rest, can believe what ever you wish just as I do. I refuse to argue about it. PEACE
