The Bible teaches that a man can be saved through water baptism. 1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts of the Apostles 2:37-39, Acts of the Apostles 22:16, Colossians 2:11-15, Romans 6:1-5, Galatians 3:27, Ezekiel 36:25-27, etc.

Yes, you will. It is not a false doctrine.

It is in the context (John 3:5). Those who have been baptized are more inclined to believe (Luke 7:29-30).

This particular mandate is reiterated in different words in the following: 2Pe 1:10, Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

It is true that all of us have sinned (1 John 1:10). But it is not true that all of us will sin. 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Hebrews 10:14, 1 John 3:9; Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10. Romans 5:5, Colossians 3:14, Hebrews 10:14. See also my signature.

not BAC's.

If someone were to allow sin to become fully-grown in their life after becoming alive in Christ, hypothetically they can die spiritually (James 1:14-16). Yet in John 11:25-27, Jesus makes it clear that if anyone lives and believes in Him, they will never die. And this is not talking about...

true BACs are inclined towards righteousness; we are new creatures in Christ: the old has gone; behold, all things are become new! So I think that you throw around the term BAC (Born Again Christian) too loosely.

I do believe that the scriptures that I quoted make a solid case that drinking is detrimental to the ones who practice it. I have also found that those who make excuses, saying that they don't drink to get drunk, don't have any ground to stand on. If you aren't drinking it for the buzz, then...

Eph 5:27, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Acceptance based on your level of purity and holiness.

There is no scriptural or historical evidence that says it absolutely... However the possibility is still present in holy scripture.

Those who desire to believe that they are saved (having not been baptized) will perhaps trust in your words; and then perish eternally because of it. Those who truly desire to be saved (but do not have absolute assurance) will heed my words and they will ask, seek, knock, until they find and...

It has been said that the blood is in the water. You are teaching people to gamble with their salvation. I.e. "it might be true that the alternate interpretation of these verses is correct; therefore you do not need to be baptized, because they do not really teach that baptism is necessary."...

I have no disagreements with your post; especially since you have qualified your statements by teaching the opposite of Universalism; while at the first your statements seemed to substantiate the idea.

Most assuredly, the Lord is able to make him stand. I wonder however if his testimony would not encourage some alcoholic somewhere to believe that he also can have liberty to drink a beer; but in doing so he would be brought back into bondage. I brought up a few scriptures that discourage the...

In Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39, the Holy ghost is conditionally promised to those who will be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ fort he remission of sins. In Colossians 2:11-15, it appears that forgiveness of sins is associated with baptism. In Romans 6:1-5, walking in newness of life is...

You are gambling on other men's souls, giving them a false assurance that they need not be baptized. If you are wrong and baptism is necessary, some of them may go to hell because of your teaching. Peace.

Just woke up this morning around 3:00am. Will probably come back and forth to the computer for the next few hours. In Romans 7:14 (context is king here) Paul uses the literary tactic of IDENTIFICATION, identifying himself as carnal in order to define carnality to those who are carnal. There...

I have also died to the law...in my own life I know that there is no condemnation for me residing from the law. I am forgiven of all sin(s); past, present, and future. But this does not mean that I am not governed also by the law on the inside (see Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16). The love of...

So, while we're waiting for the chicken and the egg...what else did you want to talk about?
