    Funny memes, it's good to laugh!

    I showed this meme to my wife and said, "I told you, it's not just me!" :D

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Why don't you explain that to us and regardless of what baptism meant to the Jews in Jesus' day and why the Pharisees were so offended at the idea that they should be water baptized, "one baptism" does not mean that only one baptism exists, such as water baptism, but no Spirit baptism or Spirit...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Even though there are multiple baptisms mentioned in scripture, there is only one baptism that places us into the body of Christ and that is Spirit baptism, not water baptism. Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord, one faith, one baptism. 1 Corinthians 12:13 - For by one Spirit we were all baptized into...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    You are the master of irony. It’s painfully obvious that you are incapable of properly harmonizing scripture with scripture and are thoroughly indoctrinated and unteachable. Good day sir.

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    No baptism mentioned in (John 3:15,16,28; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25). Hmm.. Did Jesus forget to mention it? I already previously explained your pet verses on baptism to you, but apparently, what I explained to you just went right over your head. You do not properly harmonize scripture with...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Yes, go into all the world and preach the gospel and baptize new converts. However, Jesus clarified that it’s the lack of belief that causes condemnation in Mark 16:16 and not the lack of baptism, as I already explained to you in post #24, but you have your agenda and your indoctrination runs...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    As I previously stated, “you choose to believe your biased church doctrine” (based on your superficial reading of scripture and failing to properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching a conclusion on doctrine). Again, we can argue "he said/you said/they said" all day long, but...

    The Basis of Salvation

    Those who are truly born of God have received a new nature, a divine nature. They have been transformed from pigs and dogs into sheep. The change is more than merely cosmetic, as we see in 2 Peter 2:20. *These cleaned up on the outside dogs and pigs were never sheep. Compare 2 Peter 1:4 -...

    The Basis of Salvation

    Those who promote salvation by works heresy are typically hostile towards OSAS. I've noticed that ALL false religions and cults that promote salvation by works strongly oppose OSAS, which has always been a red flag for me. In regards to Hebrews 10:26, To "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Paul clearly teaches that what is signified in baptism (buried and raised with Christ) actually occurs "through faith." Christians are "buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead" (Colossians 2:12)...

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Greek scholar A. T. Robertson comments on Acts 2:38 - he shows how the grammar of this verse can be used to support more than one interpretation of this text. He then reaches this conclusion: "One will decide the use here according as he believes that baptism is essential to the remission of...

    Bible jokes

    What is the difference between Catholics and Baptists? Catholics will actually acknowledge each other at the liquor store.

    Bible jokes

    Who was the greatest comedian in the Bible? Samson. He brought the house down. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible? Noah. He was floating his stock while everyone else was in liquidation.

    Peter and Paul's witness of Water Baptism: Were they the Same?

    Was this baptism that John preached for "in order to obtain" the remission of sins or was it for "in regards to/on the basis of" the forgiveness of sins received upon repentance? It's the latter. Also, in Matthew 3:11, we read - I baptize you with water "for" repentance.. Was this baptism for...

    Can you know for sure?

    You are absolutely right and there is a reason why such people are unable to see anything beyond their errors and false beliefs. :( (1 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:3,4)

    America--a Boiling Cauldron

    Is the BLM movement about non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people or is it about black power, reparations and lawlessness or both? Is this really about peaceful protests to bring about change or...

    Can you know for sure?

    Amen! Acts 10:43 Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” 44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45 All the circumcised believers who came...
