In Leviticus 19:18 the Jews were told to love their neighbors as yourself. In Matthew 5:43 Jesus said "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy." ---The "hate thine enemy" is not in Lev 19:18 nor anywhere else in the OT that I know of. ---Jesus...

Paul's point in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13 is for one to be "of Christ" then two things must be true: 1) Christ must be crucified fr you 2) you must be baptized in the name of Christ. Acts 10:47-48 "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as...

An elliptical statement is not manufactured as you claim (again more claims that you do not substantiate). I gave other examples of elliptical not-but statements. Your whole post above is full of claims and nothing at all to back those claims up.

You say this but provide no proof. Clearly baptism in the name of the Lord is water baptism Acts 2:38 cf Acts 10:47-48 else why would Peter say "water" if he were not referring to water baptism?

The NIV does a good job in translating some verses, but over all the bad outweighs the good that I do not even consider the NIV to be the word of God. From the NIV preface (2011): (my emp) "The first concern of the translators has continued to be the accuracy of the translation and its...

These two especially will be ignored for many people's theology depends on them.

Yes, confession is necessary to salvation also. Even though I say and believe that water baptism is essential to salvation I do NOT believe that "baptism alone" saves. Salvation requires belief John 8:24, repentance Luke 13:3 confession Matthew 10:32-33 and baptism Mk 16:16. Peter said in 1...

--Romans 1:16 the salvation of the gospel was to first go to the Jew, then to the Gentile. --in Acts 10 we have the saving gospel going to the Gentile and we have the first Gentile converts. Acts 11:15 Peter said Jew and Gentiles are saved in a like manner way and the like manner way Jews and...

The word baptizo literally means an immersion, an overwhelming and it was an immersion in water is what the baptism of the great commission is as seen with Phillip water baptizing the eunuch. Men can obey the command to be water baptism. No one was ever commanded in the NT to be "spirit baptized".

Water baptism is already in God's word, so I cannot add to what is already there. But there are those trying to invent and come up with ways to get water baptism out of God's word as in John 3:5.

"In the name of" means by the authority therefore when one is water baptized he is being baptized by the authority of Christ.

Again, all disciples have been commanded in the great commission to go, teach and baptize. If the great commission was commanded only to the Apostles then who was left to go and 'make disciples'? Christianity would have died out soon after the last Apostle died. BIBLICAL FACT that Phillip...

Again, Robertson wrote "One will decide the use here according as he believes that baptism is essential to the remission of sins or not." ---Substituting one's peroneal theology into the verse is no way to handle God's word. People substituting their personal theologies into the Bible is how...

I have and eis means 100% in the Greek "unto" or "for" and NEVER "because". I showed in my last post that the attempt to change the meaning of the word eis to 'because' creates impossibilities. Another example: Matthew 26:28 did Christ shed His blood BECAUSE sins were already remitted or did...

If you can create a "circumstance" that can get around the necessity of baptism, then there is no reason a "circumstance" can't be created to get around the necessity of believing. Now we can be guided by "circumstances" rather than what the Bible teaches. circumstance trumps the Bible. But of...

From what the Bible teaches, no. God has chosen baptism as the point of salvation, remission of sins. Circumstances as you described do not change God's word. I understand that "accepting" Christ means doing what Christ has said in believing Jn 8:24 repenting Luke 13:3 confessing Mt 10:32-33...

Acts 2:38 has oth repentance AND baptism in the imperative commanding both. Romans 6 one must first be baptized then one walks in 'newness of life'. 1 Cor 1:12-13 Paul shows for me to be "of Christ" Christ must have been 1) crucified for me and 2) I must be baptized in the name of Christ...

Then what was your purpose for citing that verse?

---The great commissions sends disciples to go, teach and baptize and that is EXACTLY what Phillip did in Acts 8. This is EXACTLY how men today are saved by being taught and baptized. CHristianity is a taught religion and once taught must be obeyed. ---Acts 8:29 refers to the Holy SPirit that...

Yes he did, again Galatians 1:23 Saul once made havoc of the faith of the church at Jerusalem. The faith of the church at Jerusalem included Acts 2:38 that Paul now preacheth. Romans 6:3-7 1 Cor 1:13-14 Gal 3:27 Eph 5:26 Col 2:11-14 Tts 3:5 .....are a few verse Paul taught the necessity of...
