@heartwashed In Acts of the Apostles 2:38: I believe Peter was speaking the correct words by the Spirit, but his understanding was not correct on what the word “baptize” meant for the New Covenant. Thus, Peter baptized with water (fulfilling OT pictures and symbols of the inward reality), but...

I am aware of the baptismal regeneration viewpoint for a long time now and I have discussed this with other believers many times, and it is not biblical in the slightest sense (In my humble opinion). First, I believe the Bible teaches there are two aspects of salvation that the believer needs...

Born again by the Spirit, means you have been changed spiritually and you abide in the Spirit and you are awakened to the Spirit’s leading. Born again by the water means you have been changed by the message of God’s Word and you have been awakened by His words and you abide in those words and...

I believe that being born again of water as being spiritually awakened to what God’s Word says. You tremble at His Word. It speaks to you. You don’t seek to change what His Word says because His Word is holy to you. This can only be revealed to a person by the Spirit. Many Christians today seek...

Some think that being born of water is referring to our natural birth. This is not so. Jesus says, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5). Jesus says that except a man be born of water…. he cannot enter the kingdom of God...

The seed of the Parable of the Sower is the (communicated) Word of God (Luke 8:11). “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;” (Matthew 13:37).

For faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

Being born again by the Spirit means one has received a new heart with new desires by the Holy Spirit and they received the gift of the Spirit. The old man is crucified and put to death. We are a new creation or new creature in Christ Jesus. As for being born of water: Ephesians 5:25-27...

John the Baptist was against Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism. He said to the Pharisees “do not think to say within yourselves we have Abraham our father.” For they thought they were saved by simply being sons of Abraham. For it is written: “Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance...

Many are deceived by Belief Alone Salvationism. But the Bible says this: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7). IF we walk in the light the blood of Jesus...

Well said.

There are many things that are taught in God's Word which are not not spelled out directly. However, this teaching is implied based on what certain verses say in the Bible. Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to...

@Truther Tchau, Tchau. May…

We are done here unless you can explain the portions of Scripture I put forth to you.

Actually the RCC believes more closely to you on this topic seeing they believe baptism is necessary for salvation. I am also not Protestant, either. I am strongly against Protestant’s view of Justification and Sanctification. I am a non-denominational Christian who just believes the Bible...

Hebrews 9:10 says, “Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.” The word “washings” is the Greek word “baptismos” (βαπτισμός) (Check out here for the Strong’s definition). In other words, Hebrews 9:10 is...

There is a difference between seeking forgiveness with Jesus, and confessing the name “Lord Jesus” as a part of being saved by God’s grace without works vs. doing works to be initially saved. Baptism was something that was put forth by John the Baptist and he was the last Old Testament prophet...

You are not dealing with explaining 1 Corinthians 1:17, 1 Corinthians 1:14-16, Acts of the Apostles 18:24-26, Acts of the Apostles 19:1-6. When I say for you to explain these verses, I would actually like you to give a word for word commentary (if you are capable of even doing that). My guess...

Please explain the apostle Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1:17 using the Bible. Please explain the apostle Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 1:14-16 using the Bible. If not, you are a Corinthians skipper. Please explain Acts of the Apostles 18:24-26 using the Bible. Please explain Acts of the...
