What does the bible say water baptism is that is the question not what I think it is but what God says it is. God said it was for the remission of sin and where he will give the indwelling spirit Acts 2:38 now is that not enough to believe God says it is for remission of sin and giving of the...

This is an easy answer the Apostles part is 4:11-14 It had a time and purpose as listed it was till the new church had all the new teaching (new recorded new testament)which God has confirmed and no longer needs to confirm his word. The rest is growing the church in unity of the word.

So agree with this my brother finally a voice of reason Amen my brother spoken as the true oracles of God.

We are born again Christian to stand for the truth in Gods word. If there seems to be unlearned in the truth of scripture and falsely proclaiming Gods word whether by unlearned or bias it is our deed to stand and correct the mishap and teach the truth in Gods word

I think you missed the point of Simon the sorcerer . He wanted to buy the gift of confirming the word. you need to reread this passage an you will see that it was transferred from Peter laying hands on some.

Just a thought here Was the gospel not presented in Acts 2 before the command to repent and be baptized everyone one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift if the holy ghost?

The one spiritual baptism is the water baptism in Christ name where as it is the recorded way of getting the indwelling spirit as see in Acts 2:38 and confirmed in Acts 19:1-5 You asked why the baptism in Christ name is the one spiritual baptism we will let the word of God answer this. Mark...

You said " that baptism being mystically immersed into Christ in His death. " really if you take Paul at his word there really i no mystical about The baptism into Christ death. Paul explains it clear as day just trust in his word. Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized...

The reference to Acts 8:14-17 is easy to answer why Philip knew they had not received the Power of confirmation to the word is because he knew he could not transfer that power He had to call on an Apostle to transfer the power to establish the new church Philip had just planted. Philip knew that...

Matthew to this I am with you in agreement thank you for this posting

Question in your thread do you think that is the only command toward salvation? What about this passage Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Do you think one can have salvation with out keeping the command to repent? What...

Matthew I want you to think about this. In Acts chapter two Peter speaking with authority by the spirit has said that to receive the indwelling spirit one has to be baptized in the name of Christ see Acts 2:38. That is the That is the gift of the holy ghost in that passage it is the indwelling...

What the problem is and I have tried fruitlessly to show is that most have a false view of what spirit was the promise. the spirit was functioning in two different aspecgts in the early church one was for a purpose which was for power in sign to confirm the word it was not promised to all but to...

I agree the one can not be a christian without the indwelling but the question is how doe the bible teach that get the indwelling for it is promised to all.

Okay let me try this again Philip went and preached they believed his words and was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. In accordance to Gods word when one believes repents and is baptized in the name of Christ one also receives the INDWELLING SPIRIT These people have done that and are now...

Okay I really do not understand what you are dying to me. Are you saying I do not understand the plan of salvation God has recorded in his word

You have to admit that Acts 2 is when Peter used the keys to the church Christ said he would build to open the doors for the first time. You have to admit that Acts 2 opens with the spirit being poured out on the Apostles and giving them remembrance of the words Christ taught them in there walk...

Did you not realize that the church opened its doors for the first time in Acts 2 and in that chapter it laid out just how one was born again into the body of Christ? It tells right there how one is saved and god adds them to the church.

No one has any thoughts on this matter

Sir I am sorry but you really need to go back and study what God says about baptism for some how you have really gotten it all wrong and need to hit the reset button just go and read everything that the bible from Acts 2 forward teaches about the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ and you will...
