    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    Interpretation. Cool.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    No one said you had to take my interpretation. Therefore you may freely have yours. I don’t mind if people get water baptized but I don’t believe that is what really changes a person like when they receive the Holy Spirit. “Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward...

    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    If he forced Adam and Eve to sin then yes. However he did not, though he created two trees, and gave command not to eat from the tree which was not for them to partake, leaving freedom of Choice; regardless of Satan making a choice to go and deceive Eve but, eve saw the fruit as it would make...

    No More Death

    In an acknowledgment of Jesus having returned and rescued the bride of Christ already, what would be the remains? There is no more spiritual death. It is strange why people wanna try to work out a way not to actually experience death, I suppose it is the only thing facing you with the...

    Are all sins forgiven, adultery or witchcraft or alcoholism or homosexuality?

    Yes all sins are cover because of the death of the body of Christ that became the sin offering; a perfect human being that fully obedient and gave up his own life for the world, but not only for the world, but for his father in heaven. Therefore, with this in mind, God raised the Word that...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I would also like to say that John the baptized never said that the Father and the Holy Ghost and the Son would baptize you in Holy Spirit and fire. He said there was one who is greater than him, whose shoe is not worthy to untie, Jesus of Nazareth, Who would baptize them in Holy Spirit and fire.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    The dunking under water doesn’t do anything. It’s the spirit that is doing the changing on the soul of the individual. You can wash your body all day, but it will never be clean like Jesus, when he was the one whom was dunked in which was to fulfill prophecy. Now people are baptized into Jesus...

    How are we to reckon ourselves as being dead to sin?

    Mortifying the flesh, to live by the spirit. If sin is dead it is like cutting off a cancer and no longer having the infection, though our flesh will rile up from time to time; submission to the Father with prayer and asking for help will, in turn lead you reckoning oneself dead to sin.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Save through water Purifier Spiritually, reborn Christ is now in you God works on your heart and mind as you allow him and seek him and faith and reading, studying the Bible. It helps hold the flesh back. Renews the mind and heart,

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    It’s not good to use scripture just to prove a point on water when John empathizes the baptism in the death of Christ and rising again. “who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah — an ark being preparing — in which few, that is, eight souls, were...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    What did John the Baptist say? John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Now answer your question. What is the baptism that leads to...

    A Test Of Reading Comprehension and Honesty

    In all honesty none of the Bible was written to me, nor does the nation I live in pertain to the narrative (other than all nations are blessed because of Christ).

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    What doesn’t make sense? Jesus was not talking directly to you. The letter Peter wrote was not directly to you.
  16. MatthewG

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I don’t believe he is talking to you, neither is Peter.

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    I don’t believe splashing or going under the water means anything. Sure it can be done as an outward expression of faith. But baptism of water is not salvation, Being born again from above is salvation, which is being baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire as John the baptized proclaimed that...
