1 Cor 1:17 "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:..." If Paul was LITERALLY sent "not to baptize" then why did he baptized, 1 Corinthians 1:14,16? Did he sin by baptizing? No. Paul was under the great commission of Christ (Matthew 28:19-20) that commands disciples as...

There is NO VERSE that definitively stats the thief was or was not baptized. Therefore the whole "thief argument" as always been couched in assumption. ============= Hebrews 9:16-17 "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of...

Mark 16:16 is a genuine and legitimate as other NT verses. If one questions the genuineness of Mark 16 one needs to question the genuineness of the whole NT. Is Mark 16:9-20 Inspired? Mk 16(a) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; Mk 16(b) but he that believeth not shall be...

"For" and "because" may be flexible in our English language but they are not in the Greek. The NT Greek is a very precise language with different words for "because" and "for" and it has never been proven that "for" and "because" are interchangeable in the Greek. Matthew 26:28 "For this is my...

I have not argued salvation can be earned. Salvation is a free gift but it is a CONDITIONAL gift. Obedience to God by submitting to baptism is a CONDITION to receiving the free gift. Therefore obedience does not, cannot earn salvation. There are many examples in the Bible of men being...

Mark 16:16------- baptism >>>>>>>>saves John 3:5 --------born of water>>>>>>enter the kingdom Acts 2:38------ baptism>>>>>>>>>>remission of sin 1 Peter 3:21---baptism>>>>>>>>>>saves How do you reach the conclusion baptism does not save?

--The Greek word eis means for, looking forward..be baptized for, unto, looking forward to having sins remitted. It does not mean 'because". --Acts 2:41 "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:.." The logical implication is those who rejected the gospel message as preached by...

--we do not know with certainty the thief was not water baptized. He may very well been of those baptized in Mark 1:5. --the thief is not an example of gospel salvation, Hebrews 9:16-17. The thief could not believe Christ hat been (past tense) raised from the dead (Romans 10:9-10) nor be...

Faith(belief) includes baptism. Faith alone (faith void of repentance & baptism) is dead. Eph 2:8--------------faith>>>>>>>>>>>>>saves 1Pet 3:21-----------baptism>>>>>>>>>>>saves Just one way to be saved then faith MUST include baptism. Rom 4:5 "worketh not" refers to perfect, flawless works...

The "born of water" is reference to water baptism. John 3:5-------------SPirit+++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom 1Cor 12:13----------Spirit+++++++++baptized>>>>>>>>>in the body Tts 3:5------------Holy Ghost++++++laver of water>>>>>>>saved Water of Jn 3:5 refers to baptized of 1 Cor 12:13...

--Matthew 7:21 it takes DOING the will of God to enter the kingdom. God has commanded water baptism therefore DOING in submitting to God's command to be baptized is necessary to entering the kingdom. Mt 7:21----------doeth the will of the Father>>>>>>>>>>enter the kingdom Jn...

You fail at interpretation. Just because "water" is used figuratively in one verse (John 4) does not mean it is used figuratively in all other verses as John 3. John 3:5-----------------SPirit+++++++++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom 1 Cor...

None of the verses/passages cited above say "belief only" saves. Romans 10:9-10 (also Matthew 10:32-33)makes confession as necessary to salvation as belief. Luke 13:3 makes repentance necessary to not perishing as John 3:16 makes belief necessary to not perishing. 1) when it comes to God's...

Yes, "faith alone" is void of obedience hence faith void of obedience (faith alone) does not justify. Hebrews 11:8 would Abraham been justified had he NOT obeyed in moving from his house land kindred? No for unrighteousness, disobedience to God's will not justify anyone. Therefore Abraham's...

Hi, Peter tied "repent" to "baptized" with the conjunction "and" making them inseparable and makes both equally importance and necessity to being saved. The same people Peter commanded to repent were the same people Peter commanded to be baptized. The fact baptism is commanded, if for no other...

--it takes doing the will of God to become saved and remain saved. All impenitent disobedient people will be lost. --Hebrews 5:9 shows Christ saves those who obey Him. Anyone can obey that chooses to do so but the verse makes obedience a condition one must meet in order for Christ to save...

I never said all the baptisms mentioned in the NT refer to water baptism. Yet the "one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5) that is in effect in this gospel dispensation today that saves (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 1 Pet 3:21 etc) is water baptism of Christ's great commission.

If one does not know the hour then one does not know the day and if one does not know the day then he cannot know the week and if one does not know the week he would not know the month and if one does not know the month one does not know the year.......

Men have taken verses out of highly figurative, symbolic passages (Revelation, Zechariah) and created big, fantastical ideas, as a thousand year reign, that contradict other Bible verses. Romans 2:28-29 clearly shows the true Jew is not one outwardly in the flesh but inwardly in the spirit and...

There is no verse in the Bible that tells anyone the exact time of Christ's return. If one knows exactly when the thief is coming one could be there prepared waiting for him and people would not need to spend large amounts of money on burglar alarm systems, security guards, locks, guard dogs, etc.
