Goodbye

you are a joke

I'm not going to debate nonsense with you. The scriptures speak for themselves. Go waste your time with someone else. Goodbye

And you sir are out to lunch

ALL scriptures must be taken into account and when that's done you get belief, faith, confession, repentance, baptism, and God's grace that saves.

Sorry, your words and thoughts and inconsistent with the clear words and thoughts expressed in the word of God.

Belief/faith and grace in conjunction with repentance and baptism = justification or salvation. The "works" you indicated are really simply obedience, and unfortunately, a great many people erroneously believe that things like baptism are a "work", and therefore not required which is contrary...

Try here. Non denominational, 100% scriptural based https://www.church-of-christ.org/directories/churches.html

You said "there are water cults---blah, blah, blah." Well, there's also scripture that says baptism is a requirement of salvation. Plain and simple for anyone to read, understand, and comply with. Mark 16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every...

Desire? Yes, AFTER, he was told about it and it's need! Needed for what? Forgiveness of sins, becoming part of the body of Christ, receiving the gift of the Spirit. He knew nothing about baptism until Philip told him. He knew nothing very much of anything including Christ.

Read the account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. He confessed his belief but was still in need of baptism. Notice in Philip's preaching Christ to him and his inquiry regarding baptism. Obviously, part of Philip's preaching of the gospel to him included the need to be...

Just FYI and for others who may read this. The previous poster of post #32 doesn’t know at all what he's talking about and has a bias against the necessity of baptism and God's perfectly clear words of scripture. The subject of baptism in regards to the thief on the cross is a non issue and...

For clarification of the previous post, if you look at the original Greek in the interlinear, it reads "in one Spirit" (en) not "by one Spirit" as is mistranslated in the KJV and others. It does make a difference in proper understanding of 1 Cor 12:13

Just to correct the previous poster, a man and a woman become united when they are joined together sexually. Vows and ceremony have nothing at all to do with it in God's eyes. Gen 38:8-9 8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother...

I see how it could possibly be misinterpreted to mean or infer they too were apostles, but I read it as they are noteworthy and/or recognized by the apostles.

Actually besides Paul, Barnabas and Apollos were referred to as apostles. Barnabas in Acts 14:14, and Apollos in 1 Cor 4:1-9

I have responded in that thread starting @ #23. And others have responded here foolishly as they always do out of ignorance claiming one scripture trumps or nullifies another proving they don't knowcwhat they're talking about and simply like to blab.

The "one flimsy proof-text" is enough since it comes from God's word, penned by one of his inspired writers. It's in plain English and crystal clear. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye...

Actually JimBeam is wrong and contrary to scripture. Baptism, on the contrary, IS the means by which we all get the Holy Ghost/Spirit Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the...

Goodbye, I'm done with you. You make NO sense and don't know what you're talking about.
