He first and foremost doesn't understand Mat 16:18. These are not proofs or validity. Read my previous detailed posting on this very subject of Peter, Mat 16. etc.. here is my response to his skewed view of this subject. This is a repost of an OP of mine posted here and elsewhere, so it may be...

It's not biblical yet millions of people seem to think so. That's your answer to regarding "nobody made that claim". On the contrary, many, many make that claim all the time and many make it a point to "go to church" once a year to celebrate that very day. This discussion has gotten dumb and...

There clearly is a possibility of disavowing Christ which the Hebrew Christians were warned of doing so in the Hebrew letter and were cautioned that in doing so it was impossible to renew them again to repentance.

It's wrong when those that claim it's of a scriptural origin when it isn't. It has nothing to do with posts. The original post asked where Christmas came from to which I replied not the bible but man. And mankind that reveres Christmas do so with the false understanding that it's origin is the...

The early church was a fledgling body and had to share documents and information as noted in letters of the NT whereby they were to be shared and read. Why? Because the scriptures as we know them today dud not exist, not that there was some central body set up to govern all. No different than...

There was in fact a council at Jerusalem because it was the only church and first church established but it had no power or authority over other congregations established elsewhere. And the only early church writings that have any validity are the scriptures of the bible. And you are...

In general terms, there is no problem with any scripture, only man's inability to understand or accept that which was written. The problem is with man.

Youll find no such universal organization in the NT nor authority of anyone to bind anything on anyone, or things that aren't bound on Christians by the word of God. Church congregations are autonomous and self governing in accordance with the scriptures, abd the outline prescribed thereby, or...

Read the account of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8. He was a baptized believer meaning he was saved and was told to repent or perish because of his sin.

You're not making good sense. The question is about the origin of Christmas, which has been turned into a supposed religious holiday with it's origin being scriptural, which it isn't and untrue. You can believe the falsehoods if you like and give undue reverence to that day if you like, but that...

Not the bible, so if not the bible it has to be man.

But it also was a baptism for the remission of sins as described in Acts 2:38. It's identical to the baptism of John as per Luke 3:3 the difference being baptized into Christ in Acts 2:38 for the remission of sins which also gives you the gift of the Holy Ghost and the Lord adds you to the...

Read Rev 21 et al again and more carefully. It's describing new Jerusalem not heaven which "is descending out of heaven from God:. Rev 21 10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Who knows? Silly question

Simple. Same process as being saved, being added to the body of Christ, the church, becoming a Christian. It all happens simultaneously.

Question makes no sense. Was is past tense, eternal is timeless.

Your 1st point is not really accurate and is therefore misleading and can skew your understanding of baptism. See the interlinear as well as other translations other than the kjv. The interlinear says in one spirit, not by. Makes a difference.

Read the interlinear for a better translation of 1 cor 12:13 which says "in one spirit" not "by one spirit". The interlinear is correct, not the kjv. You receive the spirit upon being baptized, not before.

Not sure what point you're trying to make exactly, but you seem to be inferring that your belief is sufficient for your salvation. If that's the case, you're wrong and inconsistent with scripture. It takes more than simply belief and faith to be saved. If you believe and have faith, then you...

To the OP. You've mixed and and conflated many things here on the subject of baptism only to not prove your point. Ephesians 4:5-6 says there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. And that one baptism is the one that's important. Baptism is transliterated from baptizo, meaning to dip, plunge...
