selene's quote: Please show me in scripture where it says that Baptism [which is a shadow] replaced circumcision [which is also a shadow] The only way one can be damned is to be absent of the Holy Spirit since the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our redemption. It is therefore "obvious" that...

Baptism for remission of sins is the baptism of repentance. This is John's baptism which was a shadow...It was Peter who said that and not Paul. Peter was speaking directly to the devout Jews from every Nation under Heaven. Acts 2:5 Acts 1 5 For John baptized with water,but in a few days you...

I agree with you here Arnie, It is a personal thing... Inmate, salvation is a free gift. The bible clearly states that if we confess and believe, we shall be saved. We did not earn it nor are we ever able to acquire it through any ritualistic process. :huh: If salvation required more than what...

Baptism is a symbol. It is not necessary for salvation. Jesus was baptized to fulfill the requirement of the Law because he was born under the law and for him to fulfill that law, it required him to do all that the law requires. Gentiles were not subject to the the Mosaic Law. Therefore, when...

Circumcision is not a requirement for salvation for those who have been saved by grace through faith. Circumcision was not a requirement for salvation for the Gentiles being saved during the days of Acts. :huh: Shalom!!!

I am not debating on the finer points of the law, on the contrary...I am bringing forth revelation by the word of God, that those who are of faith are those who are Abraham's descendants and it is by faith that one is saved by confession and believing Romans 10:8-10 8 But what does it say? “The...

Selene's post Selene, you are incorrect in your understanding of this matter - the baptism Paul speaks of in the above passage, is the Baptism of Christ's death and resurrection. The message of repentance that John preached was for Israel: Acts 13: He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found...

I also originate from a Baptist Church and their emphasis on "Baptism" focuses on a public confession of faith, not as part of a requirement for salvation. Shalom!!!

Baptism is not essential to salvation...nor will it ever be... "The way" was a new concept to many Judaic Jews who converted. Baptism was not a new thing to them however. Baptism of repentance was John's Baptism. We are Gentile believer's not Judaic Jews. Our only requirement was to confess and...

Merry Christmas IA!, I really enjoy your company here and feel that you are part of our family here on CyB. I hope that you also have an awesome Christmas and quality time with friends and family. It's hot and raining in my country which seems to be the norm around this time of the year. We...

This verse is talking about Christ's baptism. Mark 16:16 is after Christ's the death and resurrection. The only requirement for salvation, is confess and believe... :) Romans 10:8-10 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith...

Baptism is a symbol - and a confession of your faith but is not a requirement for salvation...the answer is no. Romans 10: 9-10 confess and believe is the only requirement. John's baptism was the baptism of repentance by water [a symbol]. Christ's baptism was his death, resurrection and sending...

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Now this [to me] is an early Christmas message. :) Shalom!!!

Tell me what Bible are you using and what country do you come from, because you sure don't sound like an American. No 10 years is still not that long, even if you started in High School. That would probably make you in the late 20s, early to mid 30s I guess. I don't think your question is...

Hi IA! Hey! it's not the end of the world ;) if I win!

I'm no Hal Lyndsy Fan either. I have heard that the Mayan Calendar showed the end of their cycle and they would have created another, I do not think the world will end but who knows, I am not a prophet... :) Blessings!!!

Since you already know the answer, why bother with the question...it ain't gonna change my mind about Israel :huh: [Btw: 10 years is not very long]

Lol! I like that pic Gypsy! :P Merry Christmas all and thanks for the win
