My answer was YES. Again, Peter in Acts 2 preached the necessity of water baptism and from Galatians 1:23 Paul now preaches the faith (same faith Peter preached in Acts 2) that Saul once made havoc. Both men were inspired by the "one Spirit" so they did not contradict each other in the "one...

I see the argument being between obedience to the will of God that justifies (Romans 6:16-18) and faith only that does not justify (James 2:24). Penal substitution is an attempt to justify the sinner by faith only apart from obedience.

Where is my bias in having water of Jn 3:5 mean literal water? The bias is from those trying to get literal water out of the verse. John 3:5-----------------SPirit+++++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom 1 Cor 12:13-------------Spirit+++++++++baptized>>>>>>>>>>>>>>in the body Titus...

SPirit refers to literal Spirit and water refers to literal water in Jn 3. That is consistency.

Jesus speaks of ONE birth that has two elements; 1) Spirit 2) water. The role of water is water baptism John 3:5----------Spirit++++++++++++water>>>>>>>>>>>in the kingdom 1 cor 12:13------Spirit+++++++++++baptized>>>>>>>>>>in the body Tt 3:5-----------holy Ghost++++++laver of...

I cited Acts 8 and Phillip for Phillip is an example of the great commission of Christ (go, teach, baptize) being carried out where Phillip went, taught and baptized the eunuch. The Spirit did not miraculous illuminate the understanding of the eunuch apart from the word nor did the SPirit...

The verse you cite does not do away with the necessity of baptism or repentance confession or belief.

Men try as Spurgeon tried to make the Bible conform to their erroneous theologies.

Galatians 1:23 Paul preached the faith he once made havoc meaning Paul preached the exact same thing Peter preached in Acts 2, 10

Christ word is His authority on earth and it (not me) requires one to believe repent confess and be baptized. There is victory to those who obey Christ and but not to those who do not obey, 2 Thessalonians 1:8. Deathbed salvation is an invention and attempt by some people to promote Luther's...

Matthew quotes Isaiah as does Peter (1 Peter 2:24) yet Matthew gives more information than Peter. In Matthew 8:14-17 Matthew cites 2 miracles performed by Christ, causing the fever to leave Peter's mother in law and casting out demons. Matthew then directly ties those two miracles to Isaiah...

The Bible does not teach sin is unconditionally transferred from the sinner to Christ or that Christ's righteousness is unconditionally transferred to the sinner. Such an idea is invented by man in an attempt to get around the fact the sinner must conditionally obey to have his sins blotted out...

Hi, --the publican is not an example of NT salvation nor how one today comes into a NT covenant relationship with God. --the alien sinner first obeys by believing, repenting, confessing and being baptized thereby becoming a Christian, a child of God then God hears him. If a Christian later in...

--it remains that the thief is not an example of NT salvation, Hebrews 9:16-17. The NT requires one to believe that God "hath raised" Christ from the dead, Romans 10:9-10. The NT also requires one to be baptized into the death of Christ (Romans 6:3-5) before one can walk in neweness of life...

You can go back an look at my all red post at the verse that clearly state God does not hear the prayer of sinners, Ezekiel 8:17-18. No one is saved by saying some "sinner's prayer" but saved by being obedient in believing (John 8:24), repenting of sins (do works meet for repentance) (Acts of...

The thief on the cross is NOT an example of NT salvation (Hebrews 9:16-17) that requires one to believe (Romans 10:9); repent (Luke 13:3) confess (Matthew 10:32-33) and be baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Secondly, when Christ was 'on earth' He had the authority, the power to forgive...

The blind man who spoke those words was not speaking by inspiration. --The blind man was speaking to the Pharisees and had the blind man said something that could not be found in the OT I believe those Pharisees would have called him out on it. The fact those Pharisees did not call him out...

The Bible uses figures of speech but when it comes to water bpatism it refers to a literal burial in literal water, see John 3:22-23; Acts 8 Phillip water baptized the eunuch. You have not whown me from the context of Jn 3:5 why water in this verse should refer to anything other than literal...

The baptism of the great commission (Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15-16; Lk 24:47) has been commanded as seen in Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47-48; Acts 22:16, etc.... In Matt 28:19-20 the participle "go" can be in the imperative meaning disciples have been commanded to go, teach and baptize. Disciples in turn...

Also, faith comes by hearing the word of God, Romans 10:17. Hebrews 11:14 "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain..." Abel's offering was by faith which means he must have heard the word of God on what to offer for his offering to be acceptable. What Cain offered...
