    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Ah, yes. The classic Free Will Baptist belief. Notice that there is no actual Bible verse that says this, though. This is just what they teach, and not the Bible. The Bible teaches that repentance is necessary for salvation. For Jesus says, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    That's a misconnect. All things in your Bible is in regards to the faith. Every word and every story, and every doctrine, and every truth, and every instruction by God in the New Testament is a part of the faith. You have to believe all of it by faith. If not, that is unbelief in what God's...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Verse 12 is talking about the Provisional Atonement. For when Jesus offered Himself as one sacrifice for sins for all and sat down at the right hand of God does not mean everyone is saved (Unless you are a Universalist). Verse 14 is referring to present tense Sanctification in living holy...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    As for sinning: Whatever is not of faith is sin. Sin is not a part of the faith. God does not want us to ever sin. That's not his will for our lives. Nor does God want to think we must sin or we will sin (Because God cannot agree with sin). The faith...(Which is the Bible and not your...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    No. It's a continuous justification by faith. One faith that manifests itself as starting off as a belief alone in Jesus to be saved, and then that same faith continues to manifests itself as doing the work of faith (Just like Noah - See: Hebrews 11:7 again). We are justified by works and not...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Update: I had to remove these videos from Alan Ballou (that I posted before). While I liked Alan Ballou’s videos before on Sanctification and putting away sin and they were really helpful, the problem is he is a false accuser of the brethren. In the YouTube comment section in this video...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It's not about being saved again, but it's about maintaining our salvation and continuing in the faith.

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Look in the mirror. You are not even listening to the points I just made which would put to rest your unfound criticism. Please go back and read my last two posts to you. If you do not address the content of those two posts (Which clearly show the JW religion to be in error), then I am going...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The thing is that Ephesians 4:5 has to be talking about one or the other and not both. Why? Well, because men have been Spirit baptized before being water baptized.

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    JW's falsely teach that the cross is pagan. JW's erroneously believe that Jesus was on a stake and not a cross. In one JW picture from JW.org they show Jesus with one nail going through his hands of which you can check out in their website page here. Yet, in John 20:25 of their own New World...

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Sound familiar? Do you know who Jim Jones and what happened with his followers because of their blind trust in what he said? Jim Jones basically had his followers drink Flavor-aid that had cyanide (poison) in it and they died. They willingly committed suicide based on what this guy said. Jim...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The context of Ephesians 4:5 if you were to reread it again more closely is focused on what we are to do and not on what God does. So it's not a contradiction within the framework of the context. The verse is not making an absolute statement. If it did, then there would be a contradiction in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Again, I disagree. 1 John 1:7 is the proof of another version of imputed righteousness that you don't like. Read it more carefully. 1 John 2:9-11 is defining walking in the light as loving our brother. So you have to love your brother for the blood of Jesus to also cleanse you from all sin...

    1 John 1: Mystery Resolved

    Robert: You may or may not know this but Robert Gwin is a Jehovah's Witness. I provided information on the JW religion in this thread here if you are interested. Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is evil (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    Reasons why the Jehovah’s Witness religion is false (Despite my love for them as human beings)

    You don't seem to care if lost souls run into the arms of the Jehovah's Witnesses. That's how your posts come off to me by your responses. In your happy la la land, we should just give them some kind of hippie kind of love and just love em into the Kingdom. Sorry. Errors need to be corrected...

    When Jesus said, “there is none good but one, that is, God.” did He mean nobody could be good?

    I respectfully disagree. James chapter 1 is still in view of the context of James argument and point he is warming up to making James chapter 2. James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath...

    When Jesus said, “there is none good but one, that is, God.” did He mean nobody could be good?

    It appears we agree. For clarity of what I believe the Bible teaches: I see James as talking about what happens in our faith AFTER we are saved by God's grace (in that we are justified by works of faith). I see Paul as talking about our INITIAL Salvation (Which is by God's grace through faith...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Slow down and just read very slowly 1 Corinthians 1:17 several times in prayer.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I believe Ephesians 4:5 is referring to the one baptism we need to be concerned with because it is our responsibility to partake of, and to do so upon others (if God grants us such opportunities) (Which is a part of the faith). Spirit baptism is something GOD does upon all believers when we...
