Far out bro, that is one of the most desperate attempts to deny the obvious I've ever seen.

Baptism in water is an outward public demonstration, a public witness, to the inward conversion of the repentant sinner. Such a demonstration can only be accomplished through water.

And death is precisely what baptism signifies. Buried, raised again. We cannot crucify and bury ourselves, we must rely on others, just as Christ did. Nor can we raise ourselves from the dead... That takes the Son of God to speak life into our hearts. The baptism of the holy Spirit is the next...

Agreed. Again, agree. I would ask a question... That word 'end'. I think you need to reappraise it's meaning. The same word in the Greek is used here... KJV Romans 6:21-22 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now...

You would be taking a very serious responsibility teaching kids such fictional nonsense and heresy.

The Celtic church in Britain originated in Galatia, not Rome. The Galatians were Celtic. They had migrated there 300 years before Christ, leaving Celtic communities across southern France and northern Italy. For all those centuries they continued to commune with one another, trading and...

The letter to the Romans was written sometime between 55 and 60AD. The church by that time had 30 odd years to be established throughout Asia, North Africa, and the middle east. Paul mentions baptism, which by its context cannot be connected to anything other than water baptism, in chapter...

What is love? Is it solely to be taken advantage of for ones own pleasures and freedom of suffering? The failure to understand love, what it truly is and what it will do, is the great problem of humanity. Love is grossly misunderstood and people, who are doing all sorts of sinful nonsense, will...

In Eden, the fruit of the forbidden tree was a good fruit. There was nothing wrong with it. The Bible declares it was good for food, and pleasant to the eyes. There was nothing inherently wrong or evil with the fruit. The sin was in the act of disobedience. So also with the Sabbath. There is...

The 4th commandment is like no other. It isn't moral. It isn't like the others which include stealing, adultery, and murder. Most, if not all, villages and cultures throughout the world without any reference to the Bible will define certain laws and statues in order to keep order and to unite...

KJV Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. KJV Romans 2:4-10 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his...

What got me interested in prophecy more than anything else was NOT conjecture/clairvoyance concerning the future, buta revelation concerning how much of prophecy has already been fulfilled throughout Christian and world history. As Jesus said, KJV John 14:29 29 And now I have told you before it...

Mmmm. Not one word about repentance. All you are offering is a cloak to cover sin.

I think the confusion comes with the expression 'no law'. Many Christians also recoil in horror when it is suggested that we are obligated toq obey God's commandments, as if the commandments are either optional, or as some believe, annulled altogether. In order to justify their reluctance...

The big question is... Who is the real Israel? When you find the answer to that, then you will know who, or what, Jesus is returning to, or for. My recommendation, don't rely on your futurist pastors and teachers for truth. Nor on their misleading, misguided, rapture movies and delusional end...

KJV Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by...

I don't think I spoke of the means by which people are saved, if that's what you are referring to. We are saved by grace through faith, absolutely. What does grace look like? Is it a cloak that covers iniquity and sin so it cannot be seen? Or is grace the power of God granted to those who...

When Satan was chatting with Eve in the garden, saying, "thou shalt not surely die", what was he telling her? He was saying, "you will live even though you disobey". That is precisely the false gospel that the majority of evangelical Christians have been deceived by. You can be saved while...

I have contributed to threads like this before, my view hasn't changed. The death of Christ on Calvary did absolutely affect the law, but not that part of the law that identifies sin. It was that part of the law that dealt with how to deal with sin and guilt after the fact. That is, everything...

Israel is not the heart of the Bible. Jesus is. And the followers of Jesus are the apple of God's eye, not a political entity. And that would include the USA
