Yes @Hidden In Him, I always try to bring rebuke in a spirit of gentleness, when I do so, and I generally tend to avoid rebuking people if I can possibly help it (if I am not compelled by the Holy Spirit or His love to say something that might be offensive because it is in line with the...

I tend to take the scriptures literally, believing that God means what He says. I believe that the people who penned the Holy Bible did so using great plainness of speech.

#1, that the RCC and the EOC promote this doctrine does not neccessarily make it untrue. #2, follow my line of reasoning: the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised (Acts 2:38-39 (kjv)) to those who repent and receive baptism in Jesus' name for the remission of sins. Does not regeneration happen...

In the context of Acts 2:38-39, it says that 3,000 souls were added to the church that day. How did they do the counting? Faith is invisible to the human eye. It should only be obvious that Peter baptized in water the same as John the Baptist baptized in water. That is what is normally being...

I believe that regeneration can come as a direct result of the water baptism spoken of in Acts 2:38-39, the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to those who fulfill every condition to the promise.

It is very frustrating...because I can't do anything about it and they never change...so I just have to live with the fact that some of my hard work is going to be destroyed. It makes me want to pray the impreccatory Psalms against them...

It can mean that (we can see that in Acts 10) but it is not always the case.

Yes I see your point. I guess I simply had to vent a little bit there, ( :mad: ) sorry...

re #25: They have deleted entire posts; without any concern for the fact that there is a labour of love that is put into every post and that the intention of each post is to win souls for Christ. Thus they are hindering the work of the Holy Spirit primarily because they did not like what was...

Right. There must be the element of repentance and faith in the operation of God; and the water baptism must be for the remission of sins.

It is a good thing that you are not a moderator then; because I would fear for your soul if you were. I believe that it would also be a grievous sin to delete anything that might be considered a prophetic "utterance" (typed out in a post) given through the gift of prophecy. Those are the...

That it will happen is basically a given if repentance was involved in Acts 2:38-39 baptism in water in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins.

Nevertheless, God speaks of the redemption of the body in scripture (Romans 8:23); and I would contend that this can be in past and present tense for believers who are dwelling on the earth (Galatians 4:5-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Ephesians 5:30-32, 1 John 3:5; Romans 6:6, Colossians 2:11)...

Also if you want to reach the younger generation I don't know whether it is still considered to be cool but if it is it could be a benefit to reaching them.

I think that in Luke 7:29-30, the fact that they hadn't been baptized affected their attitude towards the Lord Jesus Christ.

How does Luke 7:29-30 apply to the subject?

Yes; I read it as a student at Biola. At a friend's recommendation.

As I said before; only briefly was I a smoker.

And sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law but under grace. Romans 6:14. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4.

I think we do them because the Bible says to do them. Because Jesus has saved us by His grace and because He is the Lord of our lives.
