The water that He spoke of in those verses is the Holy Spirit. And therefore they are not two separate things. baptismal water is physical water, however; and the Lord has ordained that the promise of the Spirit is absolutely given when a man submits to the physical waters of baptism in Jesus'...

Rom 6:14, For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. The regenerated person is saved by grace and not by the works of the law, Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16. Eph 2:8, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the...

I think I'm going to call it a night in a few moments myself.

I think that if I know that I am eating food that has been stripped of its vitamins, and am truly hungry for that which will make me healthy, I will switch over to food that has not been stripped of its vitamins. This is all I am saying. If I am eating a can of green beans from the store...

In case anyone doesn't know their Bible, that was Titus 3:4-7.

What the law says (see Romans 3:10-18 for what the law says to those who are under it), it says to those who are under the law (Romans 3:19). Paul said to us that we are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14). Therefore the assessment of who we were under the law is no longer true of...

That is not a biblical statement. According to Ephesians 4:4, there is one baptism. This means that baptism in water and baptism in the Spirit are intertwined to the point of being one. See Acts 2:38-39, Acts 22:16.

We are made righteous through (faith in) the obedience of one (Romans 5:19). This righteousness is a free gift (Romans 5:15-18, esp. 17).

We are made righteous through (faith in) the obedience of one (Romans 5:19).

It should be clear that sanctification is through a living faith in Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:13). A sanctified life is one that will very likely produce works. However salvation is not of works (Ephesians 2:9 and context, Romans 4:1-8, Titus 3:4-7, Romans 11:5-6). The work of God...

As believers we are not under the law (Romans 6:14); and therefore what is written in Romans 3:10-18 (what the law says about those who are under it) is not true of us (Romans 3:19).

Mat 5:27, Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: Mat 5:28, But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Mat 5:29, And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and...

Amen.

You got the wrong emphasis on this verse. Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Did the Holy Spirit become sin? This is a direct question that needs to be answered directly. To @101G.

Neither should we divide their substance.

I don't know if I understood or didn't understand. Why don't you elaborate?

Jesus had His disciples do the baptizing (John 4:1-2); and it was the same with Paul (compare 1 Corinthians 1:13-17 to Acts 18:8; understanding that the first scripture is written to those in Corinth).

If I may add the following scripture: Hos 14:2, Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. Jesus said, Jhn 6:47, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath...

What of those who give lip service to their faith, saying to Jesus, Lord, Lord, but not doing the will of the Father in heaven? I would say that these are Christians; but in name only.
