    What is the one true Church?

    SCRIPTURE DESTROYS WHAT YOUR FALSE PROPHETS HAVE TAUGHT YOU GRAILHUNTER: Peter is mentioned 155 times and the rest of apostles combined are only mentioned 130 times. Peter is always listed first except in 1 Cor. 3:22 and Gal. 2:9 (which are obvious exceptions to the rule). Matt. 10:2; Mark...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    One vs destroys your interpretation: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Good morning CadyandZoe, I have never contested that passage from Luke that said all the people were baptized. In post 1,066 I said, "The followers of John the Baptist were getting baptized." The people that were baptized by John were not baptized into Christ because the Apostles hadn't started...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    If the spirit falling upon Jesus in the visible form of a dove was a signal to John that Jesus is the one of whom He spoke of then why did God follow up by saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.” There would be no need for God to say that if the descent of the dove...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes, Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again! John 3:1-21 makes it clear that he was NOT telling Nicodemus that "he was already born again".

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    THE example was Him getting baptized with Scripture further saying: Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Baptize all in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit.... THAT is the "I want you to do...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    When one is baptized they recieved the Holy Spirit.....Just like scripture says: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    No Matthew, I don't agree with your limited context interpretation of Scripture in regard to water baptism. Do you think you should follow the examples of Jesus? If you say NO, then you won't get dunked under water like he did. If you say yes then you will be dunked under water like he was...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Good questions CadyandZoe, I must reiterate the most important part of my post: There are very few biblical verses that have been strictly defined by The Church that members can not stray from. What that statement means is that there are some verses in the bible that are dogma. Or to put it a...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hi Cadyand Zoe, No, I do not think that Jesus was implying that He was born again when he was baptized. What He was doing was setting the example for us to follow when he was water baptized by John and the Holy Spirit came down upon Him. Right after that he answered Nicodemus's question on how...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Why do you quote from non-Scriptural authors Jim B??????????? The men who taught you your Protestant propaganda are lying to you Jim. The writings of your Protestant men are not Scripture Jim B. The Didache, which was written by men who lived during the time of the Apostles, carry's more weight...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    When one is baptized, they receive the Holy Spirit Jim B. It is not "symbolic" to have a remission of sins or receive the Holy Spirit Jim B. It IS a necessary saving ritual...just like Scripture says. Have you not read that in Scripture? Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Jim Jim Jim, We are not required to do what He told us to do in Matthew 28:19? And in Acts 2:38 Peter DIDN'T say, Repent and be baptized, that is unless you don't want to be baptized because that is not the important part, but I am strongly suggesting that you be baptized....for the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Do you REALLY not see how illogical your statement is? So NOW you are saying that priests don't have the abiblity to think independently....but YOU do. Your killing me here Jim B......killing me!!!!

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yup. When we are baptized with water, we receive the Holy Spirit. Just like Jesus said in John 3:5. Here is the chronology of baptism in Scripture: Jesus was baptized in WATER as a example we are to follow and the Spirit came down upon him. He then said we are born again thru WATER and...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    hi Behold, Neither The Church or Scripture teaches that water alone can save you. But the man who died on the cross for my sin did tell us to baptize all. I think that you would agree that if we want to be saved we must obey Him. And to obey Him is to baptize all. The Church teaches that the...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Hi Cadyand Zoe, I presume your question is do individual catholics OR does The Church allow individual Catholics to interpret the Bible. The answer is YES. in general, The Church does not prohibit individual members from interpreting Scripture. There are very few biblical verses have been...
