    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    In Ephesians 5:26: If we were to look at the different translations that say, “the washing of water with the word” (ESV) (NASB) (LSB) (AMP) (ASV) and we compare it with the King James Bible that says, “the washing of water by the word,” (KJB), we learn that they are saying the same thing...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Nothing in here about baptism. Looks like you want to talk about something else besides the baptism issue involving Scripture. Have a great day, and may God bless you.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    There is no hostility towards you personally. I am only in strong disagreement with the RCC because of it’s dark practices. But your not really explaining how 1 John 2:27 does not mean what it says. Please give me a word for word commentary and give me the context. When the Bible was...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    In Ephesians, the apostle Paul explained this “mystery” as: In addition, Paul said: The seventh angel is the one who has the last bowl or vial judgment. While my chronology (Which I created a while back) did place Christ’s return at the end of the sixth bowl judgment, I do see the possibility...

    You really did not answer my question. Let me ask you another way. Do you believe 1 Thessalonians is inspired Scripture? Yes, or no?

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    As for being born of water: Well, Ephesians 5:25-27 says that Christ gave Himself for the church so that He might sanctify us with the washing of the water of the Word so that He might present to Himself a church who is holy, blameless, without spot, or wrinkle, etc. 25 "...even as Christ also...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It’s just not relevant. You might as well be talking about some fantasy character on the back of a cereal box. Just because you indulge in fantasies created by men (i.e., the extra biblical beliefs and practices of the RCC) does not mean I have to give it any kind of credence. Again, no...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I lean more towards Cessationism (Although I do leave room for some mystery so as not to speak against others and condemn myself). Here is my write up defending Cessation of the miraculous gifts...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The Catholic Church has no validity to me. It means nothing to me. It’s a bunch of hocus pocus. I merely regard what the Bible says because it shows itself to be divine (Whereas the Catholic Church and its practices has not shown itself to be infallible like the Word). So your question is...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Catholics and the Church of Christ believe you must be water baptized as that Initial Act of saving faith. They love to use Acts 2:38 and Mark 16:16 to make their case. But verses cannot be read in a vacuum. One has to look at the whole counsel of God’s Word on the subject to get a more...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    We have to be careful with God’s wording and our wording. Jesus says towards the end of the Bible (the following words): ”Surely I come quickly.“ (Revelation 22:20). But this is only quick from His perspective and not ours because a lot of time has passed since the writing of Revelation...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    So you don’t believe the writings of the apostle Paul are authoritative Scripture that is inspired by God?

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    Why would you want to be left behind on this event? 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 ”For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    Not sure what point your trying to make here. Here is my End Times Chronology: https://www.christianforums.com/threads/my-new-end-times-chronology.8109642/ I did place some of Daniel 7 in my chronology. Again, this is a proposed version of my understanding of the future events. While I do...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    The charts are only supplementary to what I already believe. I did not see the chart and go, “Hey. That chart looks cool. I think I am gonna follow that.” No, no. Most certainly not. Scripture determined my position. Not a chart. Understanding Daniel’s 70th Week and the Abomination of...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    @David in NJ The Day of the Lord is not just the return of Jesus Christ but it is more than that. It’s a period of time described in Scripture. #1. The Day of the LORD is the time when the earth will be burned up. • 2 Peter 3:10-12 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    @David in NJ The Day of the Lord is a period of time. It takes place in the latter half of the 3 and half years of the Great Tribulation. I believe the Day of the Lord is God’s response to the fifth seal for the Christians crying out for vengeance of just having been martyred by the...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    @David in NJ When Does the Day of the Lord or the Day of Wrath Begin? We know that the Day of the Lord = the Day of Wrath. • Zephaniah 1:14-15 "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    @David in NJ So the midpoint in last week in Daniel’s 70 Weeks shows that it is 1 week or 7 years. #1. Half of “7 years” is “3 and a half years” (Midpoint of Tribulation - Abomination of Desolations - Olivet Discourse). #2. Three and a half years = 1,290 days. - (Which is the time the daily...

    @David in NJ 24 "Seventy weeks [70 weeks] are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint...
