Yes, because pouring water three times onto a person's head, and fasting, were not the original way of baptising, and were made up things, a falling away from following the original teachings (as was baptising "into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" - it should have...

It's not my personal interpretation! There are Bible translations which translate it as 'in', so the scholars that produced those translations believed it should be translated as 'in'. The 'Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges' (to give it its full name) notes was written over 100 years...

I think you're getting desperate if you're claiming that Paul's letter to the Galations is not to be trusted! If you're not claiming that, then I don't understand why you're mentioning a non-Biblical document and claiming that I am desperate. :confused:

I'm sorry, I should have been more precise. When I said, "The Greek word 'en' is mostly translated as 'in'" I meant that of all of the occurrences of the Greek word 'en' the majority are translated as 'in' (compared with less than 5% of the time it is translated as 'with'). From the Online...

Popular doesn't necessarily mean correct! The Greek word 'en' is mostly translated as 'in'. As the Cambridge Bible notes says for verse 31, "‘With water’ is literally ‘in water’ here and John1:26."

That depends on whether or not they lived in Jersalem! But yes, they would have got wet.

Galatians 1:6 (ESV): (6) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— Paul wrote Galatians a few months before his attendance at the Jerusalem Council in AD 49 (according to Book of Galatians Overview -...

And John the Baptist said, John 1:26 (WEB): (26) John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know.

I don't think that is what it is describing: Matthew 3:16-17 (WEB): (16) As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. (17) Then a voice said from heaven, "This is my own...

That whole chapter is God talking to the nation of Israel. You should include the previous verse, and the next verse, to get some context, Ezekiel 36:24-25,28 (WEB): (24) I will take you from every nation and country and bring you back to your own land. (25) I will sprinkle clean water on...

Well he did say "baptise them", which means to immerse in water! Sprinkling is not baptism though. Titus 3:5 (5) not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Compare with the...

It's not a demonstration of humility, it is God's Son being obedient and doing a difficult job for his Father. Jesus has redeemed all mankind, and he will establish a kingdom on earth and in heaven, restore all mankind back to perfection, judge all mankind and the angels, and destroy all those...

No, that verse (1 Timothy 1:17) is not referring to Jesus. After the Millenium Jesus will hand over the Kingdom to God, his Father. It is therefore God that will be the eternal king over His kingdom. 1 Corinthians 15:23-28 (WEB): (23) But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then...

So why have you not been baptised? You said in I have a question that remains unanswered: that you had been Christened in a font at 16 days old. Sprinkling of some water onto a baby's head, and giving the baby a name, is not baptism. Baptism is complete immersion into water (the word means to...

Or as the WEB translates it, to make it clearer that it is referring to God and not Jesus: Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Just repeating it is not explaining it. You've still not explained what you mean by "eternally begotten", and how it can be in harmony with God saying to Jesus, "This day I have begotten you". This is just more made up nonsense about Jesus' mother, which doesn't explain what you mean by...

Using double negatives just confuses people. You should speak/type clearer messages!

What does that mean? Begetting is a single act performed at a particular time and results eventually in a birth. Hebrews 1:5 - For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?"...

Why do you keep repeating the same long post? Your post #1380 is just a copy of your post #1358, so why not just refer back to it rather than clutttering up the thread by repeating the same long post?

God cannot die because he is, and always has been, immortal. Immortal means that you cannot possibly die. 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB) - "[God] alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen." Jesus is not God, he...
