Water immersion, baptism for the remission of sins, had nothing whatsoever to do with the law and is the means of not only remitting sins, but adding you to the Lord's body which is the church. This is clearly spelled out in the NT writings. And as a side note, part of your ending comments said...

You'll find that spiritual baptism you're discussing only occurred as recorded in Acts 2 and 10 wherein the spirit fell on people unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands and for specific purposes: as signs to others, followed by a miraculous gift of the Spirit such as tongues...

A single baptism in the name of 3 entities makes perfect sense. You aren't understanding the fact that it's their names which can't all be named, but rather it means the authority of just like you would say in the name of the king or queen you're doing this or that: it's by the authority of the...

What is the point of your rambling which has nothing to do with the discussion? The use of a capital H and lower case h does make sense. When you refer to the Holy Ghost or Spirit (one in the same) it's making reference to that being as an individual, hence the capital H. When speaking of holy...

Start with John the Baptist's comments in Luke 3:16 regarding baptism with the Holy Ghost and then the Luke 24:49 comment made by Jesus to his apostles telling them to tarry in Jerusalem until they received power from on high. As previously stated, this did occur as recorded in Acts 2 wherein...

It's bible hub on line interlinear. And you are not understanding the Luke 24 passage you quoted. That promise was not one of a universal nature but wad made specifically to his apostles and them only which came to pass on the day of Pentecost in Acts2.

Except that's not all. There are other scriptures that also require more than belief and confession. Belief and confession of belief was exactly what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8. But it was also necessary for him to do more. What else were the Jews told to do on the day of Pentecost in...

Paul preached Apollos baptized was the point which is why Paul made the statement in 1 cor 1:17 as he did.

The correct translation of 1 Cor 12:13 can be found by looking at the origional language in the interlinear which says "in one Spirit" not "by one Spirit" as is found in such as the kjv. en ἐν in

To understand what Paul said and meant in 1 Cor 1:17-18 as you posted, you must read further to 1 Cor 3:1-9, and in verse 6 it says Paul planted and Apollos watered. Paul was the orator.

The church is the body of Christ and the scriptures tell who is in the body and how one becomes part of the body. Israel as a nation or people are not the body of Christ. To become part of the body you must first believe in Jesus as the Christ and then be baptized into the body which is the...

Actually, the interlinear says "in one spirit" contrary to the kjv for instance that says "by one Spirit" in 1 Cor 12:13. en ἐν in

You didn't address the question but dodged it and provided your words and wisdom based on nothing and no scriptural logic or understanding. Goodbye.

Here are the miraculous gifts (plural), those which were manifested by the laying on of the apostle's hands, not gift (singular as in Acts 2:38 which is the Holy Ghost or Spirit itself) that believers receive when baptized. Who's doing these today? You? Are you performing miracles or...

The miraculous gifts have ceased 1 Cor 13:8, so you don't have one of those listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10, nor dies anyone else, but a baptized believer has the gift (singular), the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. And no, you're not reading me correctly.

Keep in mind too that Catholics don't really baptize but rather pour water on people.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but you must consider the context of the 1 Cor letter, who it was written to and their issues. It wasn't written to us in present day, but to them. Then look at Ephesians. The perfecting of the saints when all are in unity which was also the need for the various...

You must read a bit further to understand clearly what Paul meant. 1 Cor 3:4-6. In verse 6 it says Paul planted and Apollos watered and God gave the increase. You must read a bit further to understand clearly what Paul meant. Read 1 Cor 3:4-6. There it says Paul planted, Apollos watered.

First of all, we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost at the time of baptism (Acts 2:38) which is not a baptism of the spirit but rather it's indwelling in us by which we are also joined to the body of Christ, the church. The gift (singular, not gifts) of the Holy Ghost is exactly that: the Holy...

Not sure what point you're trying to make. 1 Peter 3:20-1 says just the opposite of your above statement, the baptism DOES save us. Water baptism is 100% essential to salvation.
