That, dear one, is a really stupid comment. If you do not understand the difference between taking a shower and being baptized, then you are not really intelligent enough to be commenting on anything in the Bible.

That is a distinction without any real difference. Only individuals can repent. Only individuals can believe. Only individuals can be baptized. Only individuals can be saved. The New Covenant is about individuals. That is the English usage of the word "for" not the Greek usage of the word...

There is a lot more to God's grace than that. It is probably not good to try to reduce it to two or three short lines.

Gal 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. When Paul tells...

Do you or would you ever preach or teach another to follow your own way and not God's way? We know that we all, each and every one of us, sin. But I would hope that we would never knowingly teach another to follow us in our sinning.

Acts 2:38 is a perfectly good English translation of what Peter said and meant so long as the intended meaning of the English word "for" is properly understood. The word translated as "for" in the phrase "for the forgiveness of sins" is from the Greek word εἰς [ice]. It never means "on...

Thousands of water baptized people died and went to hell? You know that how?

Who here, including you, does not think their way is God's way?

The issue here is not what cleanses your sin, but rather when does God cleanse your sin and whose sin God cleanses. Baptism is the time in the life of the repentant believer when God forgives sin and gives the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The blood of Jesus Christ, that is, the...

Born again of the Spirit is regeneration. Regeneration is for those who believe.

He also told us that "In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who...

You do not know that. The Bible does not say one way or the other about whether any of those in the upper room on Pentecost were water baptized. Paul's list of spiritual gifts has nothing whatsoever to do with being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and to...

There is nothing about Acts 2:38 that is not a part of the gospel or that runs counter to the gospel. If you think there is, then I suggest that you do not really know what the gospel is.

Jesus was baptized in water; Jesus , or his disciples, baptized in water. Do you really think that Peter was not baptized in water. All of that may have been only the baptism of John, but later Paul demonstrated that those who only were baptized with the baptism of John needed to be baptized in...

Not many, you and maybe a couple more, if you are talking about the very annoying posters.

Said gordon7 as he looked in the mirror.

Says the one who just today has responded to half a dozen or more topics. What a joke. Again you deride those who do what you do.

That of course describes you to a tee.

That is the exact opposite of what Colossians 2 says. But that is Calvinism for you; that is the soteriology of Calvinism.

Is the rudeness, the egotism, narcissism, and generally annoying character typical of all who still reside in Ireland? Or is it just you? None of that is displays the character of the Christian as God would have it.
