REMISSION = Matthew 26;27-28, Acts 2;38




$$ Definition of Remission:
Cancellation of a debt, charge or penalty.


Matthew 26;27-28

And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.


Mark 1:1-4

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.


Luke 1:76-77

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,


Luke 3:3

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;


Luke 24:46-47

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.


Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


Acts 10:40-43

Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.


Romans 3:23-25

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;


Hebrews 9:22-27

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment;


Hebrews 10:15-20

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that He had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;



AMEN

Yes. In order to have your sins forgiven or "remitted", you must be baptized, immersed In water, as the scriptures clearly teach. This is an undeniable fact of the scriptures that unfortunately many refuse to accept.

No, Under Grace, All sins are forgiven upon belief = 3 Tenses Of God's Salvation!

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

Under the law, faith PLUS works (water baptism) were required!
No scriptures support that.

Mark 16:15-16

15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Belief + baptism = salvation

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 who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief, not on a lack of baptism. So salvation rests on belief. *NOWHERE does the Bible say "baptized or condemned."

If water baptism is absolutely required for salvation, then why did Jesus not mention it in the following verses? (3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26). What is the ONE requirement that Jesus mentions 9 different times in each of these complete statements? *BELIEVES. *What happened to baptism? *Hermeneutics.

John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who (is not water baptized? - NO) does not believe is condemned already,  because he has not (been water baptized? - NO) because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Surely you know that the entirety of a topic is not found in only one scripture! If you think that the entire set if requirements is repeated each and every time the topic is discussed ir written about in the multitude of contexts if the various letters written, you are quite naive and lack scriptural understanding and common sense. Why are there 4 gospels? Is there not something to be gleaned from each that when put together with the others give a clearer understanding? Your logic is silly.

Yes. In order to have your sins forgiven or "remitted", you must be baptized, immersed In water, as the scriptures clearly teach. This is an undeniable fact of the scriptures that unfortunately many refuse to accept.
Many refuse to accept it because it's not true. Matthew 9:2-8, "And some people were carrying to him a paralyzed man lying on a stretcher. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, child; your sins are forgiven.” Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Stand up, take your bed, and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings." Nowhere in this single example does Jesus say to the man "now you must go and be baptized" because it wasn't necessary.

John 20:19-23, "When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” And this example proves again that baptism isn't necessary for the forgiveness of sins.

Finally, making the statement "This is an undeniable fact of the scriptures that unfortunately many refuse to accept" is a) not an undeniable fact b) how do you know what many refuse to accept? Have you actually polled believers on this subject or are you just judging others?

We need to properly harmonize scripture with scripture before reaching our conclusion on doctrine.

Great Idea! How about God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided?:
Three Bible Baptisms:

God's Context Of Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL:

►►► The Twelve Were Sent to {water} baptize! ◄◄◄

The TWO Main (of 12) baptismS =

A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!":
(Matthew_3:5-6; Mark_1:4; Luke_3:3; John_1:31; Luke_7:29-30; Acts_10:37)
(Matthew_28:19; Mark_16:16; Acts_2:38, 22:16; Ezekiel_36:25; Isaiah 52:15)
+
B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders!
(Isaiah_44:3; Matthew_3:11; Mark_1:8, 16:17-18;
Luke_24:49; Acts_2:17-18, 38, 8:15-17, 11:16)
Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL!

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

God's Other Context Of Mystery/GRACE! =

our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:
►►► Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄
Today:

Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION {#13},
Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!!
(Ephesians_4:5; Colossians_2:12; Galatians_3:27;
Romans_6:3-4; 1_Corinthians_12:13 KJB!)

Conclusion: God's ONE Baptism Today? = ONE

Or, Equals two? = water problem with God's Math! Correct?

You obviously don't know what you're taking about.

It's not true? Then God is a lier because his inspired writers and words say otherwise.

Mark 16:15-16 (in Jesus own words)

15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Belief + baptism = salvation

And don't conflate old ovenant with new covenant. You cited Jesus forgiving sins while he was yet alive! That's not the same as what's required after his death which ushered in the New testament or covenant. Jesus did many things while alive including forgiving sins, but the new covenant did not begin until after his death at which point the requirements for salvation began which included the requirement of baptism. Read Hebrews 9:16-17

16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Yes. In order to have your sins forgiven or "remitted", you must be baptized, immersed In water, as the scriptures clearly teach. This is an undeniable fact of the scriptures that unfortunately many refuse to accept.
You need another Bible! Water baptism is simply a statement by a person who has already accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Romans 6:3-5, "Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life'. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his."

To show how false you claim is... why didn't all the people whom John baptized in water have their sins forgiven, thereby not needing a Savior? Did the sinless Jesus have to have His sins removed by John's baptism?

What you say is clearly unScriptural! And how do you know what "many" refuse to accept? Have you polled the body of Christ or are you just judging people with no evidence?

You obviously don't know what you're taking about. I am not interested in explaining the truth to you again.

P.S. The long ending of Mark's gospel has very poor supporting evidence, so basing doctrine on two verses from it is foolish.

No, I don't need another bible. What statement was being made by the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 and to whom was his conversion made a public statement to?? It was him and Philip there in the middle of nowhere! You don't know what you're talking about.
