It warms my spirit to read your post, Brother! You have mentioned the most important thing of all "our union with Christ" in the baptism into Christ. That is my next point from Scripture to wrap this thing up. You are reading me like a book! I think some eyes are going to be opened when we get...

I just read my own post here and see something that could be misconstrued. I'm not saying there is no "being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. That is biblical, and I don't want anyone thinking I'm denying that fact!

It's been a few days so I want to quickly recap what we have found. We found there is a literal water baptism and a spiritual baptism. Also, the word "Baptism" is used for both water and spiritual baptisms and the 2 Greek words for baptism differentiate only the use of a noun or verb. The only...

Praise God someone sees it! You're dead on the money Randy! I have another post to go before I introduce the "Baptism into Christ." I will have much detail comparing the "Baptism into Christ" with the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit." This is why I want the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit understood...

We are justified and sanctified in the position of the child of God through faith alone, that very second you believe. Let me say it another way. When Paul said we are saved by Grace through faith, not of works, that is exactly what he meant, faith alone! At the time James wrote his epistle...

We should all learn and know what the other side believes. It is to your advantage to know! I believe that sin we are aware of, assuming one is honest with himself and God, must be confessed for forgiveness. If not, you can expect a spanking! The Grace of God in His righteousness freely...

I know that man can live with no known sin in his life. That is not by any means sinless perfection. It's no longer practicing sin you were in before coming to Christ. But that is not an instant thing in most cases. There are some who never completely lay down all that practicing sin. But...

I'm not a scholar nor a theologian, just a poor soul in need of Christ. I can tell you why there are no miracles. 2 Chron. 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and...

Faith the size of a mustard seed will take you right through the gates of Glory! But it must be faith in Christ, that faith must be placed in Him, not water baptism, not your church, not your ability to keep laws and commandments, and not a split faith in Christ plus one of the above! This is...

If you have faith in Jesus Christ, what he did on the Cross for us, you are perfect in the sight of God! If you backslide into sin, you are still His child, you are still perfect in His sight, but He will spank your butt! No one knows how far one can go until He says, that's it. Most of the...

You do it your way and I'll do it mine. We will see who fares well with the Lord.

I'm pretty sure that man can backup what he said from Scripture!

John told us that Christ is the satisfaction for ours sins, He is our Advocate. Our sin will not keep us out of His kingdom. God has a remedy for His disobedient children, a good ol' fashion whooping! Does not the Scripture say that God chastises those who are His? This brings me to why I...

I was saved in a Sunday morning church service. The pastor announced from the pulpit, at the end of the service there would be a baptism taking place in 30 minutes, whoever wanted to witness the baptism were welcome to attend. The baptism of dying with Christ, buried with Christ, and risen a...

NO, Romans 6 says we are baptized into the death of Christ, buried with Him in death, and risen a new man in Christ that is the regeneration taking place that Paul spoke of in Titus. That is not water baptism, it is the spiritual baptism that water baptism represents.

The Holy Spirit baptizes them as John the Baptist told us He would do. The apostles water baptized them immediately as the outward confession of the inward baptism by the Holy Spirit.

I believe that He that believes and is baptized into Christ is saved. That is the spiritual baptism, in which water baptism represents.

LOL, some of that there reverse psychology I see.

Live in the lie, my friend. I can only show you the truth. My grandpa used to say, you can lead a mule to water but you can't make him drink!

Well call Charlie an atheist! It doesn't bother me, only what God calls me! Replace "for the remission of sins" with "because of the remission of sins," and you will have the truth. Go online and study the the Greek word "eis" to see the host of words it can mean. The translators picked the...
