    Critical Race Theory

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Campbellism is a crack up. Take the Holy Spirit completely out of the picture in conversion and what do you have left? Mystical H20 and hocus pocus. Water baptism pictures a person being buried with Christ (submersion under water) and being raised to new life with Christ (emergence from water)...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Water salvationists typically confuse the picture (water baptism) with the reality (Spirit baptism). In regards to Romans 6:3-4, as Greek scholar AT Robertson explains - Baptism is the public proclamation of one's inward spiritual relation to Christ attained before the baptism. See on "Galatians...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Your faith is in water baptism and is not exclusively in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of your salvation. Receiving remission of sins is signified yet not procured in the waters of baptism. We are justified by faith in Christ and not by faith in water...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    No, you obviously don’t get it. Your faith is in water baptism for salvation and my faith is in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of my salvation. (Acts 10:43-47; 16:31; 26:18; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..).

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    I already explained to you what the right kind faith is. Faith that trusts in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation. Faith that trusts in “water and works” for salvation is a spurious faith.

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    I blew nothing and this has been explained to you numerous times. I have not disobeyed Jesus or Peter. (John 3:15,16,18; 6:40,47; 11:25,26; Acts 10:43-47) You are a broken record of "baptized or condemned" and you continue to fail to properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    No and this straw man gets mentioned a lot by works-salvationists. In James 2:19, we see that the demons believe "mental assent" that "there is one God," but they do not believe in/have faith in/trust in/reliance in Jesus Christ for salvation. In other words, they do not believe in/on the Lord...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    There are people who receive water baptism who may sincerely believe they have sufficient faith, but may be sincerely wrong. Mere "mental assent" belief in Jesus and in historical facts about Jesus doesn't equate to saving faith in Christ. You can believe "mental assent" that the death, burial...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    I don't personally measure everyone's faith and it's not about do I have enough faith but do I have the right kind of faith that trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) My faith trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. You have demonstrated that your faith...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    It's not about quantity of faith. It's about placing our faith in the right OBJECT and that would be JESUS CHRIST ALONE. Acts skipper is a repeated straw man.

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    So you admit that not everyone who receives water baptism is a genuine believer? One who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. There have been plenty of people who have received water baptism because they are trusting in water baptism to save them...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    So you truly believe that EVERYONE who has ever received water baptism is a genuine believer who trusts in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation? Even people who attend false religions and cults, along with infants? Are you really that naive? o_O Those who trust in works...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Luke 7:29-30 is not incorrect. Luke 7:29 - When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God/acknowledged God's justice, (signified by) having been baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves, (signified...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    If he who believes shall be saved (John 3:15,16,18,36; 5:24; 6:40,47; 11:25,26) then he who believes and is baptized shall be saved as well, but who did Jesus say would be condemned? Whoever is not baptized? NO. Whoever does not believe. (Mark 16:16(b); John 3:18) *Hermeneutics*

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    Your problem is you isolate half of one verse then build doctrine on it while ignoring the second half of the verse. Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he...

    Folks are tired of a reformation and hunger for a transformation, which Acts 2:38 will provide

    This has already been explained to you numerous times. Jesus clarifies the first clause with "but he who does not believe will be condemned." So he who believes and is baptized is general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized. Did...
