Read Rev 21 et al again and more carefully. It's describing new Jerusalem not heaven which "is descending out of heaven from God:. Rev 21 10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Who knows? Silly question

Simple. Same process as being saved, being added to the body of Christ, the church, becoming a Christian. It all happens simultaneously.

Question makes no sense. Was is past tense, eternal is timeless.

Your 1st point is not really accurate and is therefore misleading and can skew your understanding of baptism. See the interlinear as well as other translations other than the kjv. The interlinear says in one spirit, not by. Makes a difference.

Read the interlinear for a better translation of 1 cor 12:13 which says "in one spirit" not "by one spirit". The interlinear is correct, not the kjv. You receive the spirit upon being baptized, not before.

Not sure what point you're trying to make exactly, but you seem to be inferring that your belief is sufficient for your salvation. If that's the case, you're wrong and inconsistent with scripture. It takes more than simply belief and faith to be saved. If you believe and have faith, then you...

To the OP. You've mixed and and conflated many things here on the subject of baptism only to not prove your point. Ephesians 4:5-6 says there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. And that one baptism is the one that's important. Baptism is transliterated from baptizo, meaning to dip, plunge...

Juse for clarity, beibg a Christian and being worldly are two distinctly different things. You can be a Christian and yet be worldly, possibly meaning you're not a good Christian, but nevertheless, a Christian. The process of becoming a Christian has nothing to do with how you carry yourself or...

I never said he causes you to make the choices that you make, only knows in advance that you'll make them.

Something I've posted here and elsewhere on this subject Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all that will occur within the entire expanse of time including everything that will occur in the middle...

Clearly only adults as they only have the ability to hear, believe, confess, repent and then be baptized. Children don't have those capabilities Acts 5:14 14And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

Edit: please disregard this jim.b as I thought it was meant for me DJT_47 but was apparently for theefaith. Sorry. My comment however is pertinent. I understand perfectly that it's Latin nonsense and those that use such idiotic words do so in a vain attempt to demonstrate their supposed...

You're not making good sense. First, there are no more apostles. Secondly, there was no written word to guide anyone unlike today. And finally, since we di have tge written word it is our one and only inspired word of God. There are sufficient warnings about adding to or taking away from the...

It's really not that we should be baptized after believing, but rather absolutely must be if we want to be saved. Should implies that it's not imperative but more like it's simply good or right or that it's optional; it's not.

What do you mean by heaven?

New born infants are without sin. Infants can neither commit sin, which is a transgression, nor can they believe which is a prerequisite to baptism, nor can they confess, also a prerequisite to baptism, and further cannot nor have they a need to repent. No one can superimpose themselves in place...

Before finishing reading all of your illogical logic, let me me sum it up this way. If you take any single scripture or few as you've done trying to make the case that baptism isn't an essential part of salvation, you will always end up with scriptures appearing to conflict with or contradict...

Amen

It's Paul describing himself not some other person. He uses 1st person singular: I and me.
