Baptism IS water baptism unless otherwise specifically stated starting with the precedent established by John's baptism, so the mere mention of baptism IS water immersion.

Not really helping anyone since your understanding of John's words is lacking. You must understand who John's audience was and must read further in Luke 3 and Matt 3 to further interpret Acts 2 correctly. It was the apostles who were baptized with the Holy Ghost which references back to the...

You continue to be wrong and not understanding scripture. I'm not boasting of my works! Where did you get that from??? Cite the scripture(s) on the so called HS baptizing us. The scripture, if it's the one I think you're referring to is, Romans 6:3-6 below which is clearly referring to water...

1st of all, it's a parable nor does it mean he was saved. Jesus was alive. The requirement for baptism as part of the salvation process didn't come into being until after his death at which point the new testament began. Spirit baptism (not sure what you mean by that term) doesn't replace water...

Tax collector: Please cite the scripture. Read the account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and read Romans 10:9. Confession of belief is prior to being saved not after, so, i don't know what you did nor why, but it wasn't scriptural nor of any value.

Nope I clarified it by my posting.

Not following your logic in quoting this scripture as relates to the subject matter and your previous. Being created "in Christ" (meaning you've already been saved and have been baptized into the body of Christ), for good works is different than so-called "works" as others here reference the...

What about doing the "work" of confessing with the mouth as did the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and as required by Romans 10:9? What's the difference? Both are required for salvation, but you accept one and reject the other? Why?

What does that mean? Scripturally, not in your words of explanation, but according to scripture

To all those who erroneously claim baptism is a "work". A work of what? Is teaching others a work? Is/was preaching a "work"? Was the laying on of the apostle's hands a "work"? Is believing with the fleshly mind or confessing with the mouth a "work"? Is praying a "work"? Everything done with...

Correct: I do not. I read the words, understand them in their simplicity, and let them lead me to the truth rather then having a predetermined bias regarding a subject such as baptism and itsnecessity, and then trying to do my best to prove the simple scripture to mean something other than what...

I'll cite the scripture once again below. It can't get any clearer or simpler than the scripture itself; even a moron should be able to read and understand it. But instead, those who dont believe or want to believe what it says, go to great lengths to try to explain away the scripture...

You make no sense. Goodbye

Once again, you make no sense. How does one know about sin and repentance? They have to hear. Someone had to preach to them, and if they are convinced that they are on sin and therefore need to repent and believe, they'll repent. If they've .ever realized they are in sin and need to repent how...

You talk in circles. Did the people whom John the Baptist was baptizing just go down to the water where he was to go fishing out of the clear blue or did they go there go go HERE WHAT HE HAD TO SAY? People don't repent out of the clear; they repent because they have been made aware. They heard...

YOU can't unwrite what's written in the bible nor can YOU correct what's written in it, namely, Romans 10, so a response from me is unnecessary. Explain, by your logic, the account of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8 and the account of the Jew's conversion on the day of Pentecost in...

Nothing to refute. The scriptures do a better job than I can refuting nonsense.

You've provided zero "evidence ". The clear words of scripture refutes your ridiculous assertions.

It's a waste of time. Goodbye believe the junk you choose to.

You are delusional. The language is crystal clear. The whole point of Mary being a virgin after Christ's birth means what, if it were so, which it isnt??? It would mean absolutely NOTHING! Mary was chosen for a particular purpose which she fulfilled, no different than Noah, Enoch, Abraham...
