Agreed. It takes faith to obey. Someone who believes in the Gospel but is not obedient is not born again, and will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

True. It takes a new heart and a new spirit, i.e., the born again experience, to obey. What's more, mere belief will not save either, as obedience is required.

The lamb that was killed represented the perfect Lamb that was to come, Jesus. The OT gives us types and shadows of the real thing. Jesus fulfilled the OT scriptures. The perfect Lamb, Jesus, was offered on the altar of God to shed His blood for the remission of sin. For anyone to minimize the...

Again, you are tongue-twisting like MacArthur when it comes to the blood of Jesus. Something is seriously wrong when someone does this, and it certainly does not come from above. At Passover, the Israelites were commanded to kill a Lamb (Jesus) and apply the blood to the door posts and lintel of...

You are playing semantics just like John MacArthur. Jesus had to literally shed His blood to fulfill the Scriptures. God required the Lamb to be without blemish; the sacrifice had to be perfect. The shedding of the blood of THE perfect Lamb of God was necessary to fulfill the Scriptures...

Why play semantics as John MacArthur does? It's the blood that washes sin away; it's the LIFE that offers the blood. Revelation 1 [5] And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and...

That is not correct at all. The blood is a very important part of the atonement. Leviticus 17 [11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Jesus did say that no man can come to Him except the Father draws him. So, God draws, but we must yield to that drawing. As for John MacArthur, I have serious issues with him because of his tongue-twisting and semantics on the blood of Jesus. I truly question whether he is saved or not. He may...

The whole police brutality of blacks is greatly misplaced. The blacks, as a whole, have brought this on themselves by their conduct. Police are suspicious of them for a reason. Are police innocent? No, but they are reacting to what they have to deal with. Do we hear of brutality of Asians...

That's not the way I read it. Circumcision first and then baptism to reflect what's already occurred.

Being baptized in water is a teaching of Jesus, so it is necessary; but, it is not a substitute for the born-again experience when one receives a new heart and a new spirit from above, circumcision of the heart.

In an unlikely part of America, a 5.1 earthquake hits NC. Earthquakes in diverse places is a prophecy of Jesus. Matthew 24 [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the...

When tempted with sin, Adam gave into Satan, while Jesus did not. Therefore, Adam lost the image of God, while Jesus retained it.

I do not know, but perhaps it was the living water that was part of Him.

Indeed. The Word of God is the WATER that Jesus spoke of.

But, in John 3:5, Jesus did not refer to His blood, but WATER and the Spirit. It's clear WATER is the the Word of God. The thief on the cross was saved by WATER [the Word of God] and by the Spirit, by the shedding of Jesus' blood for the remission of sin, not by water baptism. Again, Jesus'...

Why did not Jesus say, "Unless a man is baptized in water and born of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God?"

The blood of Jesus washes away sin, not water. If water could wash away sin, then there would have been no need for Jesus to have been born into the human race to eventually go to the Cross of Calvary.. Read my signature. Jesus fulfilled that Scripture on the Cross. It's the blood of Jesus!

I'm sharing some compelling dreams from Pastor Dana Coverstone that reveal the calamities coming upon America. They seem legitimate, but only time will tell. Brace yourselves!

As to the OP, the WATER that Jesus spoke of is the "Word of God". One cannot enter the Kingdom of God without being born of the Word of God. The Word of God does teach that once one has received the miraculous born again experience, he/she should go forth to be baptized in water to fulfill all...
