@Tong2020, I take it you are going to answer post #539 (The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !).

So, your belief is that a man is born again / regenerated and then he receives Christ, correct? Is that the order that we find in John 1:12?

If by that you mean that every translation is inspired of the Lord, then I would partially disagree with you. I don't believe that the NeWT is inspired of the Lord; but most every other translation has their merits. Many of the modern translations omit things out of the text that are included...

It has to do with the fact that you omitted scripture from the equation that said what you were trying to refute with your statements. You left it out because it defeated your purpose.

"and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I think that it can be an even more powerful confession to identify with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection by being baptized in His name.

Water baptism is not necessary, is what I would say. A comparison of Acts of the Apostles 2:39 and Romans 8:30 might tell you something different.

I would just encourage you to look for what I was talking about in the context of Acts 10. Because the reality of it is not isolated in singular verses but in an understanding of the passage.

Faith in Christ is enough...being water baptized in Jesus' Name will seal the deal and remove all doubt, placing the helmet of salvation securely on your head.

Thank you....

I'm not saying that anything nullifies Acts 10. 1) I don't believe that water baptism in Jesus' Name is exclusively the way to salvation; and, 2) the context of Acts 10 shows that God was making an exception to a rule in order to include Gentiles in the kingdom.

I would only say that God does not make a person born again against their will.

Me too. He's a good one. Came to my defense when I was being bullied by @Blood Bought 1953 and @HisLife.

You also have to consider what it says in English; for the translation in English is also valid and even inspired. For God is both Omnipotent and sovereign and loving; and therefore He is not going to allow his unadulterated message to be compromised when the translation into English is made.

Nope. :cool:

Ezekiel 36:25-27, 1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39, Romans 6:1-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12, and more.

It is clearly in the text for one who is reading without any impairment.

Water baptism is not a work.

Something tells me you might be wearing a sock.

Absolutely not. While it does have the power to save; as there is a promise of the Holy Ghost to those who will receive it in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39.
