The “baptism” that accompanies true salvation is the baptism in holy spirit. John the Baptist spoke about it (Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:8); Jesus taught about it (ACTS 1:5); Peter remembered it being taught in Acts 11:16 where it says "John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with...

I will do Ephesians 5:26... “washing of water.” The Greek noun “washing” is loutron (λουτρόν), and it only occurs twice in the New Testament, here in Ephesians 5:26 and in Titus 3:5. In this context, it refers to bathing or taking a bath, which is why some English versions say “bath” or...

No I don't mean the hypocrites. I mean most Christians simply do not walk in the spirit. They don't know how. They were taught to do so meant to try to clean up their flesh by being more like Jesus or to obey the Bible. Google walking by the spirit and that's what will pop up. The first sign...

I'm not changing or moving a goal posts. I have stated from the beginning that from the habit of tradition, and only for a short period of time, a small handful of people were baptized with water into the New Testament, but never again afterwards. Now I'm adding there's no doctrine on this. No...

I have been conversing with many of you telling me about all the examples in the book of Acts that deal with water baptism. Well, there's only one and it was Philip. Peter mentioned it, but the next verse does not say they did it with water. But here's my thoughts tonight. Examples of what...

I feel the same way. Take Care

The four Gospels do not contain the teachings concerning the New Covenant. That gospel is taught in the Epistles.

We don't agree. I don't see the church as a bride. There's no teaching on this in the New Testament that started in Acts chapter two. You can find a verse or two in this New Testament where Paul speaks with such a figure of speech, but the teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about the...

The Christian Church is being compared to a virgin bride by a figure of speech. The Church is not literally a virgin bride, but the things expected of a virgin bride such as spiritual chastity, purity, and devotion, all apply to the Church.

Interesting concept. I too wonder about the Catholics. I don't think they ever taught anything right. I use to say if you want to find the truth. Then just do the opposite of whatever the Catholics teach and you will probably be on the Word. Oh and the verse you quote is Matthew 7:13-14. Not...

Again, there's no bride for the Christian. The bride was a figure of speech about Israel. Christians are in the body of Christ. There's no ceremonial events. We get born again by... Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that...

Examples of what people do does not establishment doctrine. There's no teaching on this water anywhere in the New Testament. And again, only by the habit of tradition, and only for a short period of time, a small handful of people were baptized with water into the New Testament, but never again...

No... one example proves nothing because there's no teaching on this water anywhere in the New Testament. And again, only by the habit of tradition, and only for a short period of time, a small handful of people were baptized with water into the New Testament, but never again afterwards. The...

The Bible does not tell us why they did not receive the spirit of Christ after someone was trying to get them born again. So we don't know. Now we can guess all day long, but we still don't know.

You have one verse where Peter mentions water. And nobody said yes. Instead they did it in the name of the Lord. Which means by the authority of Jesus Christ. We are baptized in him. Not water, soup, or apple butter. But in him the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nobody knows what they ate because the Bible does not tell us so we cannot know. So we guess. Well, we know it was not an apple. My educated guess is that they gave God back their spirit. This left man kind in a position to need to get spirit back. And then there's when God told them if you do...

We are not the bride. We are the body of Christ. Israel was the bride which was a figure of speech. There is not going to be a marriage.

You only have one. The Ethiopian eunuch. Cornelius was not baptized with water as verse 48 says. But in the name of the Lord. Acts 2:38 does not mention water either. It is not my theory. It's the facts. You have one example. The Enunch.

Again, from the habit of tradition, and only for a short period of time, a small handful of people were baptized with water into the New Testament, but never again afterwards and Cornelius was not one of them. Verse 48 does not say they were baptized with water but rather in the name of the Lord.

We are still talking about 1 Corinthians 12. There are only what Ephesians calls gift ministries, and the new birth called holy spirit and then there's the operations of that spirit and its fruit. There's nothing else. There's no mysterious special gifts being talked about in first Corinthians...
