Hey C&Z, I understand your interpretation now: Since Nicodemus recognized OR confessed that Jesus was a teacher from God who is able to perform miracles that is how Nicodemus became "born again". Confessing that he is a teacher (prophet) from God that performs miracles is sufficient enough to...

Thanks Jim B, Thank you for answering my question. I forgot about that passage. Mary

Lol…..You need to study further

Nothing I said was false. You just disagree with it….that doesn’t make it false kiddo

Nope, Jesus NEVER told Nicodemus that he was already born again or born of the spirit or born from above. That conversation never happened.

The apostles were instructed by Jesus to baptize all (Matthew 28:19) and you don’t think the apostles needed to tell people to get baptized? If it was “already a cultural practice” then why did Jesus give that instruction and why did the Apostles continue that same message? There is zero...

Bible scholars agree that Peter was the leader of the Apostles after the death of Jesus…YES, even your Protestant scholars agree with that. You reject scholarly study…I don’t care. James deferred to Peter in Acst 15:14…..Simeon hath declared….. Also, Vs 23 makes it clear that James and only...

Hi, C&Z, No, I don’t see what you mean. Your theory is that since Jesus didn’t water baptize anyone we don’t need to be baptized OR that when we are baptized it is not into the Holy Spirit? I think you would agree that we are to do what the Apostles tell us to do. After all, Jesus said if we...

Where does scripture say that Nicodemus was baptized in the Spirit?

Hi C&Z, This is why I love a respectful back and forth in a discussion. Sometimes vs’s are brought up that seem to contradict other vs’s. I forgot about that vs. Thank you. So it appears in Matthew 3, on the day John baptized Jesus, John already knew WHO Jesus was before he baptized Him. But...

SCRIPTURE DESTROYS WHAT YOUR FALSE PROPHETS HAVE TAUGHT YOU GRAILHUNTER: Peter is mentioned 155 times and the rest of apostles combined are only mentioned 130 times. Peter is always listed first except in 1 Cor. 3:22 and Gal. 2:9 (which are obvious exceptions to the rule). Matt. 10:2; Mark...

We agree....

One vs destroys your interpretation: “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?

Good morning CadyandZoe, I have never contested that passage from Luke that said all the people were baptized. In post 1,066 I said, "The followers of John the Baptist were getting baptized." The people that were baptized by John were not baptized into Christ because the Apostles hadn't started...

:Zek:

If the spirit falling upon Jesus in the visible form of a dove was a signal to John that Jesus is the one of whom He spoke of then why did God follow up by saying, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.” There would be no need for God to say that if the descent of the dove...

Yes, Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again! John 3:1-21 makes it clear that he was NOT telling Nicodemus that "he was already born again".

THE example was Him getting baptized with Scripture further saying: Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Baptize all in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit.... THAT is the "I want you to do...

When one is baptized they recieved the Holy Spirit.....Just like scripture says: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy...

No Matthew, I don't agree with your limited context interpretation of Scripture in regard to water baptism. Do you think you should follow the examples of Jesus? If you say NO, then you won't get dunked under water like he did. If you say yes then you will be dunked under water like he was...
