Amen. The Spirit does not remit sins because the Spirit is not our burial, but rather, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ is. The Spirit is given to lead us to the truth and confirm us per our subsequent Acts 2:38 salvation.

And also Ananias said to Paul, And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Thank you. This is very clear per the definition of what remission of sins is.

Both metaphor and hyperbole are akin to lying in saying something that is strictly speaking false (i.e., exhibits no world–word fit) and thus have deceptive potential. ... Depending on the forms and contexts chosen, the distinction between hyperbole/metaphor and lying might be blurred or...

That is a classic seminarian white washing of scripture. Romans 6 is real, not a metaphor. You think it says this... 6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in METAPHORIC sin, that METAPHORIC grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are METAPHORICALLY dead to METAPHORIC sin...

In the eyes is God, yes. Our carnal man(nature) is crucified and buried. He was never supposed to be lying around on the surface. This is the definition of the Spirit led life. The Lord does not lead our carnal man, but our spirit. Our crucified carnal man just does what the saved spirit...

So, we are not actually buried with Christ in baptism after all? We are not actually baptized into his death after all? Paul made that stuff up? Did you ask him if he made it up, or assume he did? Maybe the death of Christ did not actually remit sins but was a metaphor instead of a sign instead?

Water baptism is the identifier with the Christ that got the job done. Was water baptism in Acts 10 a sign for Israel? Yes, a sign to the Jews that gentiles must also be baptized as they were for the remission of their sins in the name of Jesus Christ.

Was he saying we are Spirit baptized into Christ's death? Does it say we are buried with Jesus in Spirit baptism? Did the Holy Ghost bury us in Christ?

Does God believe for us since He gives us faith? Do we also give gifts freely?

Does God repent through us? Or, does He give us the ability to do it on our own?

Burial.... 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5...

If you were honest, you cannot even make a thoughtful decision that is not considered a "work". Some silly preacher centuries ago changed "works of the law" with just any ol work. What a silly man that duped silly believers that cannot and refuse to figure that out.

Deciding is a work. Believing is a work. The best way to be saved without works is stay on the couch and take a tranquilizer to make one stop using energy to be "saved".

I love them all. They all point to Acts 2:38. Anti-baptismalists attempt to teach that they debunk Peter. Anti-baptismalists think they are Acts busters.

The anti-Acts 2:38 bunch only want the resurrection.:) They are too scared to die and be buried.:eek: What a bunch of spiritual cowards.:(

Let's break down the "several things" of Acts 2:38... 38 Then Peter said unto them, 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. #1....Repent, #2....be baptized ....in the name of Jesus Christ...

You mean, before the Holy Ghost was given because Jesus was not yet glorified?

Is that what Acts 2:38 is saying? Not water baptism. Is Acts 2:38 instead, saying this?... 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins BY THE HOLY GHOST, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Does...

Okay, let's see... 38 Then Peter said unto them, 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. ...or as you prefer... 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in...

Bingo!
