You have no idea what you are talking about.

The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is what gives God the authority to forgive the sins of the penitent believer, when His Holiness demands payment of the penalty for sin committed. When that forgiveness actually occurs is when that penitent believer is baptized.

Yesk water baptism is for the forgiveness of sin. That is what it says. That you don't believe what it says and more important do not know what that means doesn't change what it says. It does not say, as you claim, that water is the agent that brings forgiveness of sin. Baptism is simply the...

There is nothing said about the forgiveness of sins obtained through John's baptism being temporary. Baptism is not said to be a sin offering. Actually even in the OT, it wasn't a case of forgiveness being temporary; but it was a case of sin offerings being offered up for past sins; so that...

Gal 3:2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Nothing in that verse about "something we do". I think it is you who doesn't like it and is writing your own Bible.

I don't believe that and never have. And I have never stated that water provided forgiveness of sin. I am not a cross denier. You obviously do not know what you are talking about. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you go about assessing another's situation, instead of just...

I didn't say it did. I have never said such a thing, I don't believe such a thing. I have argued against that many, many times.

Mar 1:4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Luk 3:3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The baptism was performed on repentant...

I agree, but that has nothing to do with omnipresence.

John didn't actually say that there was another baptism. In fact Paul stated that there was only one baptism. That one baptism, in water, provided forgiveness of sins, as did John's baptism, and, additionally, the gift of the Holy Spirit.

I think it is you who are confused. Omnipresence as nothing to do with omniscience or cause and effect.

So then you deny God's omnipresence? Yes, God and Christ are in Texas, London, China, on the moon, where ever. Seated at the right hand of God is not a statement of location. Heaven "up there" is not a statement of location either.

It doesn't say there that He redeems anyone from unbelief. It does say that He does redeem us believers from all iniquity, (lawlessness, wrong doing).

No, baptism is not a work of the law. The work of the law is laid down in the Old Testament. You will not find it listed there anywhere. Now baptism is a work of the gospel. And you had better obey it. Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 1:8 and Peter in 1 Peter 4:17 tells us the bad news of...

If you mean by that what I think you mean by that, then shame on you. Do not ever judge another in the sense of Hebrews 9:27.

And you are wrong.

Yeah you rail all right. That nonsense about Jesus talking about amniotic fluid is railing. The Cult teachings that you espouse originated with Huldrych Zwingli in the 1500s. There are not two births being talked about in John 3. There is only one. It is not born of the water and born of...

Being born again, i.e., regeneration, was instituted under the new covenant. That was instituted with Jesus' death, burial and resurrection; it was inaugurated at Pentecost. However, forgiveness of sins was not instituted under the new covenant, but was available under the old covenant as...

Mar 1:4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Luk 3:3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Of course, water would not forgive them of...

That is precisely what John was saying. The water baptism of the repentant believer was for (unto, in order to get) forgiveness of sins. And there we see the difference between John's baptism and the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ was for the...
