    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    You were the one who said that Christ died for ALL sins - past, present, and future. And this is false. The Bible clearly points out that He died for the sins of the PAST, and I pointed out to you that if He also died for the present and future sins.....then why do we have to confess and repent...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Alan, I'm only repeating what the Bible says. The Bible did say "the remission of sins that are in the past." You misunderstood what I said. I never said that our present or future sins cannot be forgiven. Present sins can be forgiven WHEN we confess and repent from them. As for our future...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    First of all, pooing in your pants is NOT a sin; therefore, a person can poo all they want....they are not committing a sin. I agree that whatever sins a person confesses and repents from, God will forgive that person's sins. However, if the person does not confess or repent from his/her...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    In order for your sins to be forgiven, you must confess them. All sins that you confess would be forgiven.....that would include only your past and present sins. That does not include your future sins because you don't know what sins you will commit in the future until the time comes, and when...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    1 John 1:7 and 9 are talking about PRESENT sins, and these present sins are NOT forgiven because St. John gave a stipulation. 1 John 1:7 But IF we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Yes, Christ died to save us so that death can no longer hold us prisoner just as it did the OT saints. That is what He saved us from. The gates of Heaven are now opened to us so that we can enter God's kingdom when we die. Did the OT saints go to Heaven when they died? No, their souls remain...

    Final Authority and Final Canonization

    And where did you think the KJV got it's translation from? What manuscripts did they use when all of the original manuscripts are lost and all you have are copies of copies of copies? What were the Christians using for 1600 years BEFORE the KJV was written and published?? As for those who...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Where in my post did I say that Christ's blood cleanse future sins?? And where in the Bible does it specifically say that it cleanses "future" sins? Where in the Bible does it say that Christ died for "present" and "future" sins. I have shown you scripture saying that Christ's blood on the...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Romans 3:25 DOES mention the blood of Christ and it DOES say the sins of the PAST. Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; As for 1 John 1:7...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Where in my post did I say that Christ died more than once? We all know that He died only once. The issue here is NOT how many times He died because we agree that He died only once. The issue here is, "Did He die for only the sins of the past or for past, present, and future sins?" That is...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    My brother, when Adam and Eve committed a sin, they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden, and when they died, their souls could not enter God's kingdom. Heaven was closed to all of mankind. That was the price we all paid for Adam's sin. Christ's death and resurrection opened up the gates of...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Christ's sacrifice on the cross was not for nothing, but the Bible DID specifically say that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was for the remission of sins that are in the PAST. This is coming from the Bible....not from me. Perhaps, the question you need to ask yourself is.....if Christ died...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    You need to address this scripture, and until you do, you would be going against scripture which specifically stated "sins that are PAST.": Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are...

    More stupid thinking from that guy you love so much, Domenic

    There are three persons in one God. This means that the Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. These three are one God of the same substance, but they are also distinct from each other. Jesus has both a human and divine nature. The Father only has a divine nature...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    I gave scripture showing that it was for PAST sins that He died for. He did not die for present or future sins. If He died for present and future sins, then there would be no need for repentance. Therefore, repentance is important for your salvation. You become sanctified through the...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Jesus' died for the remission of sins, but it was only for past sins, not present or future sins. After Christ died, did you not noticed that St. Peter stated to repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. If Christ's death on the cross covered everyone's sins, why would Peter asked...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    Baptism has to do with being born again. What does water symbolize? It symbolized the cleansing of sins. God sent John the Baptist to baptize for the repentance of sins (See Mark 1:4). How does one become born again if there is no cleansing or repentance of sins? If your sins are not...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    God is the only one who decides who should be damned. Man does not make those judgements. It is true that Jesus never said that he who isn't baptised shall be damned.....that is because God is the one to make that judgement. However, Jesus did say that those who believe and is baptized shall...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    There is nothing in the Bible indicating that the good thief on the cross was not baptized. You simply assumed that he isn't. What is in the Bible, however, is the fact that Jesus did say that those who believe and is baptized will be saved. So, what about the person who believes and is NOT...

    Baptism: Its Meaning and Significance

    The emphasis is on "believing?" There is an "AND" in there. Those who believe AND is baptized. I see that you did not even address the reason why Jesus allowed His disciples to continue baptizing. If baptism is unnecessary, then why did Christ allowed His disciples to baptize? Also, why did...
