    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    LOL, that is your reading in the Blood is applied in water baptism. It does not say that! It says "and he who believes not will be damned." It does not say "and he who is not water baptized will be damned."

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    If you can't believe that only the Blood of Christ can cleanse sin, you are being deceived. Nowhere in scripture will you find that the Blood is applied during water baptism. That is a lie from the RCC.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Already discussed this. The salvation and washing away of the sins of Paul took place on the road to Damascus by the the Blood of Christ. The water baptism is the visual of what took place in the heart of Paul when he was baptized into Christ. This is what Ananias was referring to. In...

    How should we handle beggars?

    Personally, I never give cash to an unknown beggar. I offer to pay for a meal, but cash is not the way to give to an unknown beggar, in my opinion.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Oh yes I did. I was saved sitting in that pew (repent), that is when my sins were washed away by the the Blood of Christ. I was immediately water baptized after the service, (calling on the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) in public confession of what happened sitting in that...

    What is the Consequence?

    If you define "consequence" is the neutral sense, the consequence would be a changed life from, Hearing/Reading/Receiving the Word of God.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    I prefer to think of Romans as a reminder of where I came from, where I'm at, and where I'm going.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    I'm afraid BB is correct! They don't want to understand. They have closed their eyes and stopped their ears.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Ok, user! God will let you see it the way you want. I'll argue no further.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Nowhere did Jesus tie in water baptism to "born of water." It simply is not found, it is an invention of man.

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    The "born of the Spirit" parallels with "born of water" in the new birth. A person once born has physical life, a person twice born has eternal life. Nicodemus did not understand this, but he's not the only one!

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    I am truly humbled for such a kind response. May the Lord bless you and keep you in the fight. Phil. 3:13-14 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press...

    The Grace of God

    It was totally and completely "the Grace of God" which brought about the salvation of man through the Death of Christ. it certainly wasn't any goodness on the part of man which brought this about, as should be obvious. In fact, man has no argument at all. He may claim that he's not responsible...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    And that is what is happening in this thread, some are adding to the finished work of Christ on the Cross by making a ceremony performed by man equal with the Blood of Christ for salvation. I have said it before and will say it again, it is a slap in the face of the Father! Adding to the...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Nicodemus asked, how can a man enter into his mothers womb and be born again? He had no idea that Jesus was speaking of mans natural birth, by water through woman, and that the spiritual birth through Christ must added to that to be born-again. Born-again is a spiritual birth, as Paul said...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    What you're not grasping, user, is that the "baptism into His death" is the spiritual baptism that takes place in the heart. The water baptism is the visual, the seen by man, reenactment of what took place in the heart. This is your confession of Christ to man for them see that you now belong...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    I read one of your previous posts where you spoke of your posts being addressed to the guests. We are of one mind concerning the direction of our posts. I'm not directly speaking to, user or Truther, I'm speaking to those who may search the scriptures to see if I speak the truth! Those who are...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Lost cable and internet last night around 8pm, just got it back. Had a rough storm, tore up some stuff around here. John's baptism was not in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy spirit, it couldn't be, Christ had not yet died for mans sin and risen from the grave. John's baptism was calling...

    Acts 2:38 has been abandoned by Christianity

    Paul was asking them if they had received the baptism of the Holy Ghost accompanied with speaking in other tongues. They said they didn't even know there was a Holy Spirit, then told Paul they were baptized by John the Baptist. Then Paul knew that they did not understand salvation. He tells...
