Next question was going to be-What is the Name of the L-O-R-D or God
I was going to Show You Jesus is that Name. JESUS is GOD or L-O-R-D
But I find Debate meaningless because if one doesn t know TRUTH they wont know the Plan. My Golden Calf. ADD ALL the - shall be saveds in BIBLE. You well find ACTs 2-38
@2222pauline It sounds to me like you believe that, unless the word "Jesus" is said over the person being baptized, the baptism is ineffectual. I'd like to know if someone is baptized, using either NO words or else using the very words of Jesus in Matt 28: 19, 20, is that baptism acceptable? It sounds to me like you're saying Jesus IS the Father, and Jesus IS the Son, and Jesus IS the Holy Spirit - and that is the NAME of all three, and that word - "Jesus" - must be SAID.
@2222pauline " If I was to show You would You CARE?" Sure I would ... I know of no particular baptismal formula. I know some hobby-riders deny that Jesus Christ is the actual Son of God. But yes, I'd really like for you to show me what some inspired person SAID while they baptized people. I know what they DID, but I see nothing that indicates what they SAID.
When will denominational Christians who claim to know all about water baptism actually open up the Bible to reveal all the passages about it? To make things short, let’s look at the terms connected with a water baptism:
@tonoklein "Everyone knows the Lord takes away the sin. The issue is WHEN..."
YES, baptism into Jesus Christ does remit sin --- WHEN? When we die! Jesus died physically so we would not have too--so therefore how do we die? Romans 6 explains the process. When we are buried in the water we are dead with Jesus---the penalty for sin is death. Does He leave us dead? NO ! When we are raised out of the water we are made to drink the spirit, the Holy Ghost, we are quickened and made alive in Christ.
He doesn’t take away our past sins until we are buried with Him in the watery grave.
There is not one passage about water baptism in the entire NT that states or implies it’s not necessary to “wash away thy sins” (Acts 22:16).
The recently discovered Epistle of Barnabas backs this up: “This meaneth, that we indeed descend into the water full of sins and defilement, but come up, bearing fruit in our heart, having the fear [of God] and trust in Jesus in our spirit.” Well put, Barnabas.
“This meaneth, that we indeed descend into the water full of sins and defilement, but come up, bearing fruit in our heart, having the fear [of God] and trust in Jesus in our spirit.”
I clearly remember after my baptism many years ago the fear of the Lord as only He can destroy both your body and spirit
God's love is great but you can only show that love towards Him by following His commandments and by being obedient to His word. NOT by feelings
You sound like Satan, by your video, by your words, by your lies. You are twisting God's word changing it from a truth into a lie to suit your very own belief system which is clearly contrary to the Word.
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Peter was given the keys to the kingdom so what was Peter's message? Acts 2:38 covers the requirements to start your salvation journey.
This is so true. Have you ever heard of the saying "I can't see the forest for the trees" this is old english it actually means, "I can't see the forest B/C of the trees" In the bible it says confess and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.. then could this not mean that CONFESS and be baptized BECAUSE of the forgiveness of sins?
And I mean C'mon if you believe you have to be baptized b/c of earning salvation your doing it out of fear NOT faith and thus it is a dead work..
I am telling I don't buy it because of WHAT JESUS SAID.
"He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life." Sounds like "believing" alone saves according to Jesus. What's the matter with you--Jesus said it (John 6:47)
How did the FLOOD save Noah? How many were baptized on the Ark? Who were the DRY ones, those in the ARK or those outside the ARK? Who were the WET ONES, those in the Ark or outside? Seems the real story comes from logic, the ones who got WET DIED! The DRY ONES were SAVED. That is what an opposite model is.
Jesus said it is. It is a "task to fulfi"l and thus an "act" to perform. An "act" is "work accomplished" in Greek. Jesus said it is NOT by works of righteousness. I have been baptized but I was already saved from my sin by Faith In Jesus Christ. I showed everyone I was saved by MY WORKS--baptism. But before God I am saved by FAITH without works. GRACE
You mean the bible you have (that comes from corrupted Alexandrian text of Origen) says baptism saves. No doubt it might--I would have to read it myself, but your chopped up 'bracketed' ...... rendition of 1 Peter 3 proves that you are confused yourself. I don't see anything "precise" in what you have said. Just makes me glad I have the KJV God's preserved words in English. My Bible says Jesus' BLOOD washes away sin. NOT WATER.
Well, I was just explaining what "THE LIKE FIGURE" means. The Greek word is "AN OPPOSING MODEL" You have omitted this most important part of 1 Peter 3:21. "ANTITUPON" Why have you removed this from the beginning of that verse? It is pretty clear why! That verse DOES NOT SAY baptism saves us. It says it is "THE LIKE FIGURE, whereunto, even baptism DOTH ALSO now save us.." Refering back to the FLOOD WATERS. The ARK saved Noah. The ones who got wet DIED! Jesus saves!! not water. "OPPOSING MODEL"
I have heard this about James 2:17 before and I do not buy it. Romans 4:5 makes it clear "works" are not allowed BEFORE God for SALVATION. Of course, God is the only one who really COUNTS! But James 2 seems to say that we are ALSO judged by MAN. In the eyes of MAN our SALVATION is NOT VISIBLE unless we HAVE WORKS to PROVE our FAITH. This is not a matter of SALVATION, but "PROFIT". Titus 3:8 says that believers should "maintain" good WORKS, being good and profitable UNTO MEN, NOT SALVATION!
"The like figure" That means an "opposing model". Water never saved Noah, but as an "opposing model" the water that lifted the ARK in Noah's rescue. Same today; "water" baptism is not what saves us either, YET it is the "OPPOSING MODEL" that saves us, which is Christ's death, burial, and resurrection from the dead (the GOSPEL). Baptism is not the SAVIOR; just as the FLOOD never saved Noah. They are opposite models picturing CHRIST JESUS THE SAVIOR! ( water baptism is only "a like figure")
that is the most flawed fallacy i have ever seen: that we are commanded to do something, and yet we can disobey it and still be saved? that makes no sense
Command - to give (someone) an order or orders with authority
If Jesus - Yeshuah is your leader or commander then you MUST follow His orders - commands. If He is not your leader - King of Kings - Lord of lords then you will not follow his commands -- then you are none of His.
to grow in GRACE . . you will listen to and follow our Lord Jesus. . being saved is being saved . . being close to Jesus . . thats new and wonderful every day. .
I say good video, it just needs God's plan of salvation according to Acts 2:38. This is the way the church got started and the Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans all came the same way. Acts 2:4, 2:38, 10:44--48, 19:1-6, Mark 16:16, Romans 6:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:27, Ephesians 4:5-6. 1 Peter 3:21. One can't escape baptism of the water and spirit. There's no sinner's prayer in the Bible. We have to come the way God set up on Pentecost. The Bibleway is the only way. man can't change it.
There's a big problem with using Acts 2:38 as proof that baptism is necessary for salvation. The problem is, notice that this verse mentions nothing about faith, nothing about even believing in Jesus Christ. If you use this verse to say baptism is necessary for salvation, you are no more or less saying that all you have to do to be saved is repent (remorse for sin) and get in the water. Well we know that is not true by other verses. Acts 2:38 is NOT a formula for salvation.
@weareabreedofdirt There's not a problem at all. The reason that Peter didn't have to mention faith or to believe, is because they already believed. Read the scriptures. They were pricked to their heart and said, what shall we do. Peter was given the keys to the kingdom, so who do u think i'm going to believe? The Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans all came the same way, so who do i believe? What u say, or what it shows? Have u received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues yet?
Through Christ's atonement he satisfied the demands of justice upon us as imperfect beings. By doing so he became the author of our salvation, meaning that he gets to decide who among us will receive his grace unto salvation/perfection. He requires obedience to his commandments to the best of our abilities and true repentance when we fail. That is all. Baptism or any commandment doesn't earn you salvation. It puts you on the path of obedience to earn the approval of the One who can.
@singapore7773 Even Bill won't be able to help u if u leave here without it. Why is baptism a command? It don't make any sense what you're saying. It's a command, but not for salvation. Did u read in st John, where Jesus told Nicodemus u MUST BE born of the WATER and SPIRIT? Mark 16:16. 1 Peter 3:20- 21. Paul was baptized. The Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans were baptized. Do u really love the Lord? Death, burial, resurrection, this is the gospel. Repent, baptism, being filled with Holy Ghost.
People who use the theif on the cross with Jesus as an argument that we do not need to be baptized truly do not know anything about our bible. While Jesus was living did you know they were still in the Old law or covenant? That is a big deal. Also Jesus is the word made flesh, the very God almighty and he is the only one who could have said to that person that he would be saved. After his death and the pouring out of the Spirit, the new covenant, Baptism would indeed be necessary.
Also in Mark 16:16 after Jesus died and rose, he placed the gospel message strictly in his apostles hands which included baptism for salvation. In Acts 10 Even after they heard the message and God poured out the Spirit, Peter still commanded their baptism. Really folks you do not see this? I Peter 3:21..baptism saves. Baptism was part of the Gospel message.
1 Cor. 1:17 says "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power."
Do you see how Paul kept baptism and the gospel separate?
Baptism IS necessary, because it's a command. But it won't make you a Christian. We are saved by grace, through faith according to Ephesians 2:8.
@weareabreedofdirt That don't make sense. Why is baptism necessary then? Peter said, for the remission of sins. Acts 2:38. Let me find another scripture. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, shall every word be established. Acts 22:16. Mark 16:16. How are u better than Jesus? Jesus himself was baptized to set an example. He said, he that believe and IS BAPTIZED shall be saved. What do u do with 1 Peter 3:20-21?
Ah, I hear this everyday. I go to a church that preaches that you have to be baptized to be saved.
Read Mark 16:16 ALL the way through, not just half of it. "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
Notice what it does NOT say, "whoever is not baptized will be condemned."
I find it interesting that you would use that passage from 1 Peter to support the idea of Baptismal Regeneration. I'll explain in another comment.
"Notice what it does NOT say, "whoever is not baptized will be condemned."
Matthew 18:3
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (regeneration, born again) By Baptism & receiving the Holy Ghost. The conversion is from DEATH to LIFE. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Now, 1 Peter 3:21. "This water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you, (now pay close attention to the next part) not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God."
Peter says that it is not the application of water that saves us but a pledge of the good conscience. Peter says that the baptism is an appeal of a good conscience before God. Notice that this is dealing with faith. Peter is defining baptism as an act of faith.
Really? You are showing your lack of understanding for this verse in 1Corinthians as well as cherry picking the parts you like. SO you are saying that Paul, the same Paul that re-baptized people in Acts 19. humm...also you are totally missing the meaning for Paul writing what you posted. He was most definitely not saying that baptism was not essential but merely exclaiming same people and their faults at saying who they are followers of...read the entire train of thought.
Aslo Paul definitely preached baptism as part of the gospel though he did not do the baptizing, but his followers more than likely did.
1 Cor. 1:14-15 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
....and you see that in 14 they were baptized, just not by him so they couldn't say they were baptized in his name. You see, you're missing quite a lot.
Also look at faith and grace in the story of Noah, God saw Noah was good and showed him grace by giving him a plan of salvation. Noah had to obey the plan God gave him or he still would have perished. God's grace called for action. Just like it does today through baptism. 1 Pet 3:21 baptism also now saves us....
Zeke and TheologianZ, you are fools if you think that baptism is not required for salvation. John 3:5 says clearly, "Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." Do you have some other interpretation of this verse?
If baptism is a command, and the bible says that obeying the commands of Jesus are required for salvation, then wouldn't baptism be required for salvation?
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. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
"Baptism is not necessary to salvation, yet essential to the Christian faith."
Let say a person came to believe in Jesus Christ, confessed his sins and thoroughly believe that Jesus is the only person who can save him from his sins. And enlisted himself to be baptize by a Christian Minister. The baptism was scheduled, but before that day would come, he died. Is he saved or not?
"Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but a necessity to the Christian faith."
You cannot be called a "Christian" if your not yet baptized. The word Christian means "Christ follower" or "Christ Disciple". Christ was baptized and so Peter and the others. So what is the reason not to be baptized?
@TheologianZ What about Jesus in Mark 16:15-16, "And He said to them (the Apostles, the leaders of His Church after His Ascension), 'Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned." The key is that you must "believe and be baptized" to be saved. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 7:21. Even the devil believes in Jesus.
@boleggs49 Baptism is not necessary for salvation, suppose a man is scheduled to be baptized by a minister and he truly believed in his heart that Jesus Christ is his Savior and Lord, before the day of baptismal he died. Is he save or not? don't tell me he is not save, you will be in error because when Jesus was crucified the one on his side said to Him," Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom." Jesus answered "Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise." Is he baptized?
You literally didn't make one scripture reference or make any kind of point at all. I would list scriptures but everyone else already has and you haven't responded. just look below and stop ignoring the truth
So, what is the difference between Command and Requirement? If you want a job, and they say "You are required to take a Drug Test" to get this job, then is that not a command? Baptism is the final step to becoming born again, but if you choose not to believe it, then explain to GOD, before he judges you, if he lets you talk at why it's wrong, and he'll tell you why you're not accurate in YOUR belief.
Earning salvation is what we all have to do according to Philippians 2:12.
@jejesdad Baptism is a command and a requirement for salvation (Mark 16:16). I'm not saying baptism "alone" saves you. One must have faith (John 8:24), repentance (Luke 13:3,5), confessing (Matt. 10:32), and then to sum it all up, baptism is what saves you (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21). That's the Gospel salvation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It's a command and requirement for salvation. When one does not obey the Gospel salvation, then you know what will happen (1 Thess. 1:7-9).
@jejesdad Yes, one must believe in order to be baptized. But believing is not what saves you. BY believing you will have everlasting life, and baptism is the element when one puts on Christ (Gal. 3:27), obeys Christ (Mark 16:16), and is saved by Christ (1 Peter 3:21; Heb. 9:22; 10:22). It's His blood that washes away are sins in baptism.
Those who are obedient to Him shall have eternal salvation (Heb. 5:8-9). So don't you think that baptism IS necessary for salvation then? Jesus Christ is the One who makes us righteous! Faith (John 8:24), repentance (Luke 13:3,5), confession (Matt. 10:32), and baptism (Mark 16:16) are REQUIREMENTS we need to meet in order for Christ to make us righteous! I encourage you to obey the Gospel before it's to late (2 Thess. 1:7-9).
@cbelly06 Yes, and what he implemented is a part of that, and since he, himself was baptized, even though he committed no sin, then what makes us any different. We are to have faith in Jesus, so if we do this, then we wouldn't have a problem doing what we are told to do, correct? If he says we are to be baptized, which he does, then we are to be baptized. That's not what's going to get us into heaven alone, but it's something we can check off on the list so we don't end up in the lake of fire.
dude all commandment are requirements. If your parents said do the dishes now that dosent give a notation of I can do the dishes or not , or even do the dishes when I want it means now when I commanded it of you. now with a christain life just because you have been baptized outlined in Acts 2:38 and in John 3 which explains that baptisim is a two part thing Spitit and water then you may understand. all commands must be followed. remember unforgiven sin is what leads to hell after becoming his
Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Jesus himself was baptized to set a e sample. Are u greater than Jesus? The Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans were all baptized. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 1 Corinthians 12:13. Galatians 3:27. For as many of u as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Colossians 2:12. 1 Peter 3:21,The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us. Read and understand my friend. It's your eternity u talking about. God bless u
Through infant baptism, keeping sacraments, church membership, going to mass, praying to Mary, and confession (just to mention a few), the Catholic church has developed a system of salvation through WORKS. God's word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not through works". "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)
Again, Baptism is the new Circumcision encircling the heart. In the old way. For the Jews, Circumcision undermined the cult of the phallus. For the Christian, Baptism, the new Circumcision, disarms the the cult of false compassion. It is the sacramental means by which the Material-Spiritual God; who is, Christ Jesus exchanges our hearts of stone for living hearts. Since the time of Abraham, initiation of the children into the Covenant always happens before the first month.
@ammazzamoro Infant baptism is not a Biblical practice. An infant cannot place his or her faith in Christ. An infant cannot make a conscious decision to obey Christ. An infant cannot understand what water baptism symbolizes.Even the method of infant baptism fails to agree with the Bible. How does pouring or sprinkling illustrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
How abysmal it to see that someone is casting judgement not only on the predecessors of the living, but more tragically judgement upon the dead. You have no idea what goes on in the hearts of men nor what is hidden within the Way of God. Who are you to judge? Do you sit upon the Throne of the Creating God? There is an old adage that says, "No matter what we do, there is always someone who does it better." Many of the dead have achieved victory in unifying themselves with Christ.
@ammazzamoro ..ok..where did i judge anyone???, i am NOT the judge, nor are you..and as you said..HOW ABYSMAL..you.. who claims to know scripture and yet doesnt follow the way to READ THE BIBLE..precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little..i gave verses backing what i said ...again where did i pass judgement..if you are saying that about soldiers walking through the water in mass number..then you need to look at history..constantine remained pagan till on his death bed.
I supposed first and foremost, it is patently obvious that you have public condemned those who came out 'wet pagans' in an most-uncharitable fashion. That is abysmal; that is leading to the abyss. You have meant it with charity yet your tongue has given the Devil room in your mouth. To combat this we have Sacred Scripture, read by way of Lectio Divina, diligently read, accompanied by prayer. This is the ancient-living tradition and it is in intimate dialogue with the speaking God.
@ammazzamoro catholic or orthodox ???..with all the false teachings of mary, idols, the continual sacrifice of Jesus at the mass..for the remission of sins..CASTING the truth to the ground..Jesus said it is FINISHED..the sacrifice is complete..the RCC itself claims that the eucharist is an UNBLOODY sacrifice..yet continual?! the treasury of merit??..come on.now you can pay for someone else sins by an imaginary box of merits?? pay to help people get out of purgatory?? enough said.
God prefigured the role of water in Man's salvation. Genesis tells us of Noah and the Arc and the siners who were washed by water. Death to sin and new life to Noah. In the Exodus, the Egyptians were washed away by water - then new life to the Jews.
The prefigurement is fulfilled through Jesus' own baptism and his death when water and blood pured out of him. Water-Death tosin-and everlasting life to us all.
"Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of WATER and SPIRIT." Jesus' own words in John 3:5
Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?" Jesus said to him in reply, "Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." - Matthew 3:13-17
I don't want to be curt,but last time I checked, Deuteronomy is the Word of God; that is, unless, of course, you traveling along the newly trodden path of those who deny the proto-Gospels and the writings of the New Testament. I find this particular tendency very troubling and yet very predictible; as, it has happened before with the dualist Cathars, for instance, who turned Christ into an evil deity. "There is nothing new under the sun."
I am reading Numbers right now. And, thus am forced to use this book for pedagogical purposes. As we all know, Christ came to fufill prophecy calling all of Mankind into the Bosom of God. Mankind being made in the Image of God; that is, being made in Christ, as John so wonderfully speaks, is destined for royal priesthood. Properly understanding priesthood is paramount. We are to be the adopted children of God, brethren to Christ Jesus. Part 1 of 3
This understanding of the universal priesthood of Mankind is the same whether one is a protestant, a Catholic, a Jew, or even, as we often find, a member of a traditional aboriginal religion. This priesthood as it's most basic function is returning to God what God has freely given us. The Cain and Abel offerings in Genesis show us how Man even in his earliest return what he can back to God. Catholics have a higher understanding but for now that is not pertinent. (2 of 3)
Let us only speak of what we all agree priesthood to be. And, Christ is a high priest. It is noteable that He had His head, feet, and hands washed with water. The Jews still practice this as do Catholics. It is understood that the washing initiates us in a fundamental way into sharing in the Sacrifice.
The ransom for a child is to be paid when he is a month old. Numbers 18.16
As long as the lustral water has not been splashed over him he shall remain unclean. Numbers 19.20
I have accidentally run further than I intended. Yet, I will use the extra space. This order from God is within the Covenant. Properly understanding it, a convenant is not a limited contract. It is binding forever and yet because men always seem to seek divorce from God. He must remind us. For, God right well knows that for the Rod of Aaron to bud it must immersed in life-giving water.
This is an inviolable covenant that will last forever. Num 18.19.
Baptism is a public confession of the sinner's belief in the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. Baptism is not a requirement to be saved, example: the thief on the cross next to Jesus. Baptism is a result of having faith, the gift of faith from God.
While it's true that baptism is not that which justifies us, anyone who refuses to be baptized shows that they've not been regenerated, nor justified. We cannot differentiate between that which God commands and that which saves us. God commands belief AND obedience to Christ. Simply believing on Christ WITHOUT obedience is false faith and cannot save.
Acts 2:4, 2:38, is still God's plan of salvation according to the word of God. According to what the apostles taught. We are to follow the apostles teachings. Acts 2:42, Ephesians 2:20. I'm not mad or upset with anybody. It's your choice. Just know that i did what i had to do and that's let you know the truth. You will remember all this if you don't make it. if you think because you don't believe you are going to be alright, then the devil has you deceived for sure. I feel sorry for you friend.
i think of that. That man was on the other side of the cross before Jesus died. He was under the law, not grace. I'm talking about a different age or dispensation. The church wasn't started then so how can he be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the holy ghost like those on the day of Pentecost? We are living on this side of the cross after Jesus died and rose again. We are responsible for following the apostles teaching. Acts 2:42. Ephesians 2:20. DON"T BE DECEIVED BY THE DEVIL.
@RedHatBlueShoe Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into DEATH: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
When Jesus told the thief on the cross today you will be with me in paradise, Jesus was still alive. He wasn't dead so there was no need yet.
Is it for man to decide that commands from the living God are not necessary? There are a FEW exceptions to water baptism, and those in the New Testament were baptized at some point. Baptism is not an empty ritual, but rather has a very specific purpose, and that is not only symbolically, but literally burying the old man, and washing you clean to rise up from the water clean and new. This is part of becoming like God to be literally born into His family. Try actually reading the Bible, son.
Just his opinion. Not scripture. So let me refer to the scriptures; JOHN 3 : 5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is BORN OF WATER and the Spirit 13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" 15Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented
Isn't all of this a bit redundant since there is no evidence for any religion ever. No one is getting saved. This is like quibbling over the rules of a sport no one will ever play. Who cares!?
Instead of debating how you get saved you Christians should have the intellectual integrity to investigate the history of religion so you can see how all religions are false. Every one that has been and gone and all of the current ones. No evidence for any of it, ever.
im sorry but one day your soul will be required of the lord. whether you believe or not will not stop you from being judged by God on judgment day. The devil has you just where he wants you. And so many others that think the baptism in Jesus name is a false doctrine. I don't have to argue with anybody. A lie can never be the truth, and the truth can never be a lie. We have to follow the apostles teachings. Acts 2:42. Ephesians 2:20. READ BEFORE YOUR LAST BREATH ON EARTH. GOD IS WATCHING YOU NOW
im sorry but there is no soul. whether you believe or not YOU WILL NOT be judged by God because there is no judgment day. The CHURCH has you just where IT wants you. And it's true what many others think; that baptism in Jesus name is a false doctrine. I have to argue with lots of people. A religion can never be the truth, and the truth can never be a lie. We have to follow innate logic and look to the teachings of Science if we want real truth to be revealed.
@dooml0r The devil have u where he wants u. Believing what some science say. The Bible is still proving it's self. Prophecies are still coming to pass today. Now even sciences are starting to agree with the Bible. What are u talking about? I really hope u will pray and just ask God to show u. If he don't show u, u can then stand on that day and say, Lord i asked u and u didn't show me the truth. But don't be fooled and don't even ask him for the truth. It's your eternity u playing with.
@rossdaboss1959 Not one Prophecy has been fulfilled. You think they have because you start from an existing belief and then fit it to some vague verse. Please tell me what part of Science you think agrees with the bible. You just say stuff without evidence. This is hilarious all you Christians quibbling over the most ridiculous details of the nonsense you are wasting the only life you KNOW you have on. Relax, enjoy this life. Don't waste it twisted up with fear and hate.
@dooml0r Your ignorance of history and prophecy is astounding. It was the undeniable miracles of the first century and the fulfillment of prophecy (esp. Christ's resurrection - Acts 2:14-36), to include the time at which Christ came (in the fourth Kingdom prophesied by Daniel) that explains how a leader could be put to death and still have millions claiming his name after 2k years. It doesn't take a "stellar" scientist to see the order of the universe and understand that there is a Creator.
@dooml0r I will say that you are sadly correct where divisions are concerned, but keep in mind that God's Word is not causing those. These attacks against Christ have been prevalent since He rose from the dead. Why indeed are so many obsessed with this fact of history and its implications ...and why are seeds of doubt and error planted, and by whom? God? Not so, but men who would prefer to be in darkness, rather than face up to the fact that eternity is in the balance this life being a vapor.
You are physically animated, yet mentally dead. I see you awake but you are not really there. You walk around in a hollow shell. Living a life of mental stagnation. Seeking the comfort of reassuring lies. Your shallow mind, in a church of fools. Living a life of willing ignorance. Never thinking, forever dim. Nothing's more pathetic than a brainless drone. Vicious cycles of lies to cover lies. Just another robot in factory of falsehoods. A hollow puppet controlled by strings.
I challenge all the Christians in the entire planet -layman and church leaders alike- to pray God that the volcanic eruption I stated below would not happen:
"Before this year will be over, 2 volcanic eruptions will shake the United States of America. The name of these volcanoes had something to do with faith."
If despite of your prayer these faithful volcanoes had erupted, then, know and understand that God is with me, therefore you are under obligation to listen to me
If it is a command... It is necessary to be saved!!! If you are not baptized or are not baptized for the right reason you do not obey that command and are in sin! Not saved! Satan hates baptism because it is the only way God has given to humans to remit their sins.
There are so many verses -- yes, John 3:5, you must be baptized. There's no such thing as works righteousness. To be saved you must do many things: Matt 24:13 "persevere to the end" 1 Peter 3:20 "baptism" Matt 6:14-15 "forgive others" Matt 19:16-17 "keep the commandments" ...etc. Two different sins: 1 John 5:16-17 ... (1) sin not to death and (2) sin to death (mortal). Sin to death will take you to hell. Jesus talked about different levels of sin: John 19:11
WHAT?!?!?!?! HUH?!?!?! 8^() We are to repent and sin no more (John 8:12) AND be baptized by water "in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT" where did you get the idea that this was not a command directly from GOD?!?!?!? I'm speechless ........... !!!
The name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost is JESUS. The verse says in the name of...not in the title of. Father, Son & Holy Ghost are titles. IF this was so what you are saying...Jesus would have said in the name(s) of.
That is why Peter commanded us to be baptized in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38, 3:19, 10:48)
So you can ignore the commands of God and go to heaven? Do you not realize that baptism is the work of God not man?Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
i thought you would've changed your tune by now after the Bible beating I gave you some weeks back on how dunked in water doesnt save anyone. look at verse 11 to see what saves us. "putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ" it's circumcision of the heart, faith in what Jesus did-- not being dunked in water that saves a man.
1 Peter 3:21-"...baptism now SAVES us..." The Word of God clearly states that one must believe (Jn. 3:16), repent (Luke 13:3), confess (Rom. 10:10), and be baptized FOR the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Men can try to justify their false teachings all they want (2 Pet. 2:1-3), but it is God's Word that will judge us in the end (Rom. 2:16). Baptism is NOT a work of righteousness (Titus 3:5), but a work of God (Colossians 2:12).
which baptism is 1Pet 3:21 speaking of? why do you assume it's water baptism? there's more than one type of baptism. Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire no baptismal regenerist have ever given a coherent answer to this question
you practice poor hermeneutics. v4 explains v5. it's Holy Spirit baptism. & I'm not talking 'bout turkey gobblin' tongues. Ch. of Christ, mormonics, applesaucetolics, & the cult of the dead woman all say you must be dunked in water to be saved. they assume baptism always means in water. to when John says he baptized w/ water, you think that's the same as Jesus baptizing w/ the Holy Ghost and w/ fire?
like I said, all of you baptismal regenerists claim everytime you see the word "baptize" in the Bible you assume it means dunked in water. I've given you scripture proving it doesn't. what you choose to do w/ that info is up to you. BUT, choose wisely-your eternity depends on it.
@filoIII in mark 16:16 the word baptism in the Greek means as the following: G907
βαπτίζω
baptizō
bap-tid'-zo
From a derivative of G911; to make whelmed (that is, fully wet); used only (in the New Testament) of ceremonial ablution, especially (technically) of the ordinance of Christian baptism: - baptist, baptize, wash.
I think you should choose wisely with the info that I have given you because your eternity depends on it. God bless. :]
@twisantigo Quote the whole verse. ".. not the putting away of the filth of the flesh" , but "the answer of a good conscience toward God." That's Peter talking. Also, the word "for" in Acts 2:38 is better rendered "unto" which makes water baptism testimonial action not for salvation.
We MUST obey God to gain salvation! God gives believers the RIGHT to become children of God (John 1:11-12): We must: Believe (John 3:16), Repent (Luke 13:3), Confess (Rom. 10:10), and be baptized FOR the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). These things are not works of righteousness, but works of God (John 6:29, Col. 2:12). We show our faith by obeying God. Matt. 7:21: "...not everyone shall enter the kingdom, but he that DOETH the will of my father."
For in one Spirit were we all BAPTIZED INTO ONE BODY, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. - 1 Corinthians 12:13
Get baptized into the 'one body' because Christ is the 'savior of the body':
For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour OF THE BODY Ephesians 5:23
"Peter said unto them, REPENT ye, AND be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ UNTO the REMISSION of your SINS" - Acts 2:38
The word rendered unto is the Greek preposition εἰς (Strongs G1519) which governs the accusative case.
Contextually, εἰς is used to denote purpose, in order to so that baptism is done for forgiveness of sins, so that sins might be forgiven Mt 26:28; cp. Mk 1:4; Lk 3:3; Ac 2:38 (BDAG Third Edition)
A command, a requirement for salvation, a requirement for salvation, a command, they are not so different. Are they?

It sounds to me like you're saying Jesus IS the Father, and Jesus IS the Son, and Jesus IS the Holy Spirit - and that is the NAME of all three, and that word - "Jesus" - must be SAID.

saved Mark 16:16
remission of sins Acts 2:38
wash away your sins Acts 22:16

@tonoklein "Everyone knows the Lord takes away the sin. The issue is WHEN..."
YES, baptism into Jesus Christ does remit sin --- WHEN? When we die! Jesus died physically so we would not have too--so therefore how do we die? Romans 6 explains the process. When we are buried in the water we are dead with Jesus---the penalty for sin is death. Does He leave us dead? NO ! When we are raised out of the water we are made to drink the spirit, the Holy Ghost, we are quickened and made alive in Christ.
wilby1414 6 months ago
He doesn’t take away our past sins until we are buried with Him in the watery grave.
There is not one passage about water baptism in the entire NT that states or implies it’s not necessary to “wash away thy sins” (Acts 22:16).
The recently discovered Epistle of Barnabas backs this up: “This meaneth, that we indeed descend into the water full of sins and defilement, but come up, bearing fruit in our heart, having the fear [of God] and trust in Jesus in our spirit.” Well put, Barnabas.

I clearly remember after my baptism many years ago the fear of the Lord as only He can destroy both your body and spirit
God's love is great but you can only show that love towards Him by following His commandments and by being obedient to His word. NOT by feelings

This is so true. Have you ever heard of the saying "I can't see the forest for the trees" this is old english it actually means, "I can't see the forest B/C of the trees" In the bible it says confess and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.. then could this not mean that CONFESS and be baptized BECAUSE of the forgiveness of sins?
And I mean C'mon if you believe you have to be baptized b/c of earning salvation your doing it out of fear NOT faith and thus it is a dead work..

Jesus said it is. It is a "task to fulfi"l and thus an "act" to perform. An "act" is "work accomplished" in Greek. Jesus said it is NOT by works of righteousness.

I have heard this about James 2:17 before and I do not buy it. Romans 4:5 makes it clear "works" are not allowed BEFORE God for SALVATION. Of course, God is the only one who really COUNTS! But James 2 seems to say that we are ALSO judged by MAN. In the eyes of MAN our SALVATION is NOT VISIBLE unless we HAVE WORKS to PROVE our FAITH. This is not a matter of SALVATION, but "PROFIT". Titus 3:8 says that believers should "maintain" good WORKS, being good and profitable UNTO MEN, NOT SALVATION!

"The like figure" That means an "opposing model". Water never saved Noah, but as an "opposing model" the water that lifted the ARK in Noah's rescue. Same today; "water" baptism is not what saves us either, YET it is the "OPPOSING MODEL" that saves us, which is Christ's death, burial, and resurrection from the dead (the GOSPEL). Baptism is not the SAVIOR; just as the FLOOD never saved Noah. They are opposite models picturing CHRIST JESUS THE SAVIOR! ( water baptism is only "a like figure")

There's a big problem with using Acts 2:38 as proof that baptism is necessary for salvation. The problem is, notice that this verse mentions nothing about faith, nothing about even believing in Jesus Christ. If you use this verse to say baptism is necessary for salvation, you are no more or less saying that all you have to do to be saved is repent (remorse for sin) and get in the water. Well we know that is not true by other verses. Acts 2:38 is NOT a formula for salvation.

The Jews, Gentiles and Samaritans all came the same way, so who do i believe? What u say, or what it shows? Have u received the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues yet?
rossdaboss1959 10 months ago
Through Christ's atonement he satisfied the demands of justice upon us as imperfect beings. By doing so he became the author of our salvation, meaning that he gets to decide who among us will receive his grace unto salvation/perfection. He requires obedience to his commandments to the best of our abilities and true repentance when we fail. That is all. Baptism or any commandment doesn't earn you salvation. It puts you on the path of obedience to earn the approval of the One who can.

People who use the theif on the cross with Jesus as an argument that we do not need to be baptized truly do not know anything about our bible. While Jesus was living did you know they were still in the Old law or covenant? That is a big deal. Also Jesus is the word made flesh, the very God almighty and he is the only one who could have said to that person that he would be saved. After his death and the pouring out of the Spirit, the new covenant, Baptism would indeed be necessary.

Also in Mark 16:16 after Jesus died and rose, he placed the gospel message strictly in his apostles hands which included baptism for salvation. In Acts 10 Even after they heard the message and God poured out the Spirit, Peter still commanded their baptism. Really folks you do not see this? I Peter 3:21..baptism saves.

Do you see how Paul kept baptism and the gospel separate?
Baptism IS necessary, because it's a command. But it won't make you a Christian. We are saved by grace, through faith according to Ephesians 2:8.

Also look at faith and grace in the story of Noah, God saw Noah was good and showed him grace by giving him a plan of salvation. Noah had to obey the plan God gave him or he still would have perished. God's grace called for action. Just like it does today through baptism. 1 Pet 3:21 baptism also now saves us....

Let say a person came to believe in Jesus Christ, confessed his sins and thoroughly believe that Jesus is the only person who can save him from his sins.

"Baptism is not necessary for salvation, but a necessity to the Christian faith."
You cannot be called a "Christian" if your not yet baptized. The word Christian means "Christ follower" or "Christ Disciple". Christ was baptized and so Peter and the others. So what is the reason not to be baptized?

@TheologianZ What about Jesus in Mark 16:15-16, "And He said to them (the Apostles, the leaders of His Church after His Ascension), 'Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; he who does not believe will be condemned." The key is that you must "believe and be baptized" to be saved.

So, what is the difference between Command and Requirement? If you want a job, and they say "You are required to take a Drug Test" to get this job, then is that not a command? Baptism is the final step to becoming born again, but if you choose not to believe it, then explain to GOD, before he judges you, if he lets you talk at why it's wrong, and he'll tell you why you're not accurate in YOUR belief.
Earning salvation is what we all have to do according to Philippians 2:12.

@jejesdad Baptism is a command and a requirement for salvation (Mark 16:16). I'm not saying baptism "alone" saves you. One must have faith (John 8:24), repentance (Luke 13:3,5), confessing (Matt. 10:32), and then to sum it all up, baptism is what saves you (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21). That's the Gospel salvation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It's a command and requirement for salvation. When one does not obey the Gospel salvation, then you know what will happen (1 Thess. 1:7-9).
cbelly06 1 year ago
@jejesdad Yes, one must believe in order to be baptized. But believing is not what saves you. BY believing you will have everlasting life, and baptism is the element when one puts on Christ (Gal. 3:27), obeys Christ (Mark 16:16), and is saved by Christ (1 Peter 3:21; Heb. 9:22; 10:22). It's His blood that washes away are sins in baptism.

Those who are obedient to Him shall have eternal salvation (Heb. 5:8-9). So don't you think that baptism IS necessary for salvation then? Jesus Christ is the One who makes us righteous! Faith (John 8:24), repentance (Luke 13:3,5), confession (Matt. 10:32), and baptism (Mark 16:16) are REQUIREMENTS we need to meet in order for Christ to make us righteous! I encourage you to obey the Gospel before it's to late (2 Thess. 1:7-9).
cbelly06 1 year ago
@cbelly06 Yes, and what he implemented is a part of that, and since he, himself was baptized, even though he committed no sin, then what makes us any different. We are to have faith in Jesus, so if we do this, then we wouldn't have a problem doing what we are told to do, correct? If he says we are to be baptized, which he does, then we are to be baptized. That's not what's going to get us into heaven alone, but it's something we can check off on the list so we don't end up in the lake of fire.

Through infant baptism, keeping sacraments, church membership, going to mass, praying to Mary, and confession (just to mention a few), the Catholic church has developed a system of salvation through WORKS. God's word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not through works". "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph. 2:8-9)

Again, Baptism is the new Circumcision encircling the heart. In the old way. For the Jews, Circumcision undermined the cult of the phallus. For the Christian, Baptism, the new Circumcision, disarms the the cult of false compassion. It is the sacramental means by which the Material-Spiritual God; who is, Christ Jesus exchanges our hearts of stone for living hearts. Since the time of Abraham, initiation of the children into the Covenant always happens before the first month.

@ammazzamoro Infant baptism is not a Biblical practice. An infant cannot place his or her faith in Christ. An infant cannot make a conscious decision to obey Christ. An infant cannot understand what water baptism symbolizes.Even the method of infant baptism fails to agree with the Bible. How does pouring or sprinkling illustrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

How abysmal it to see that someone is casting judgement not only on the predecessors of the living, but more tragically judgement upon the dead. You have no idea what goes on in the hearts of men nor what is hidden within the Way of God. Who are you to judge? Do you sit upon the Throne of the Creating God? There is an old adage that says, "No matter what we do, there is always someone who does it better." Many of the dead have achieved victory in unifying themselves with Christ.

This is the ancient-living tradition and it is in intimate dialogue with the speaking God.

God prefigured the role of water in Man's salvation. Genesis tells us of Noah and the Arc and the siners who were washed by water. Death to sin and new life to Noah. In the Exodus, the Egyptians were washed away by water - then new life to the Jews.
The prefigurement is fulfilled through Jesus' own baptism and his death when water and blood pured out of him. Water-Death tosin-and everlasting life to us all.

I am reading Numbers right now. And, thus am forced to use this book for pedagogical purposes. As we all know, Christ came to fufill prophecy calling all of Mankind into the Bosom of God. Mankind being made in the Image of God; that is, being made in Christ, as John so wonderfully speaks, is destined for royal priesthood. Properly understanding priesthood is paramount. We are to be the adopted children of God, brethren to Christ Jesus. Part 1 of 3

@ammazzamoro
This understanding of the universal priesthood of Mankind is the same whether one is a protestant, a Catholic, a Jew, or even, as we often find, a member of a traditional aboriginal religion. This priesthood as it's most basic function is returning to God what God has freely given us. The Cain and Abel offerings in Genesis show us how Man even in his earliest return what he can back to God. Catholics have a higher understanding but for now that is not pertinent. (2 of 3)
ammazzamoro 1 year ago
@ammazzamoro
Let us only speak of what we all agree priesthood to be. And, Christ is a high priest. It is noteable that He had His head, feet, and hands washed with water. The Jews still practice this as do Catholics. It is understood that the washing initiates us in a fundamental way into sharing in the Sacrifice.
The ransom for a child is to be paid when he is a month old. Numbers 18.16

Baptism is a public confession of the sinner's belief in the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. Baptism is not a requirement to be saved, example: the thief on the cross next to Jesus. Baptism is a result of having faith, the gift of faith from God.
NewDirection4us 1 year ago 2
While it's true that baptism is not that which justifies us, anyone who refuses to be baptized shows that they've not been regenerated, nor justified. We cannot differentiate between that which God commands and that which saves us. God commands belief AND obedience to Christ. Simply believing on Christ WITHOUT obedience is false faith and cannot save.

Is it for man to decide that commands from the living God are not necessary? There are a FEW exceptions to water baptism, and those in the New Testament were baptized at some point. Baptism is not an empty ritual, but rather has a very specific purpose, and that is not only symbolically, but literally burying the old man, and washing you clean to rise up from the water clean and new. This is part of becoming like God to be literally born into His family. Try actually reading the Bible, son.

@twisantigo Quote the whole verse. ".. not the putting away of the filth of the flesh" , but "the answer of a good conscience toward God." That's Peter talking. Also, the word "for" in Acts 2:38 is better rendered "unto" which makes water baptism testimonial action not for salvation.

We MUST obey God to gain salvation!
