Do you obey God greybeard? Always? Did he not say REPENT and be BAPTIZED... Are you finished with the repent part? See I cannot get baptized, I need to repent some more, or do I have it wrong... Shouls I repent, baptize, repent, baptize, repent untill I go to ground? As I get it Cornelius was already a man with no sin. When God sent Peter to the first Gentile to recieve the Spirit, that man was already prtty much holy! he lived a life God approved.... God does NOT approve my life, you think getting baptized by AOTHER man god does not approve of will help me live a life approved by God?
What about you, does you life carry God's STAMP OF APPROVAL? I love you man, but I do not agree with your teachings and you lack a lot of Word /Truth to be free.... Me too. I also LACK GOD and HIS WILL to live like HE WANTS ME TO LIVE. If you can gaurentee me that waterbaptism will change all that, I will come to your baptizer NOW...
I however gaurentee you..... IF YOU ARE BATIZED IN THE NAME..... ONE NAME,,,,, you will be as holy, as righteous and as PERFECT AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.... that BAPTISM DOES NOT ONLY SAVE.... HE FILLS< HE PERFECTS AND HE EMPOWERS YOU WITH GOD!!!!
Check this out Greybeard....There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
IMAGINE GOD ABOVE, THROUGH and IN US ALL...... ALL GOD, NO BICKERING, NO DISAGRREMENT, NO TWO... BUT ONE!!!!WOW! And that is what that BAPTISM DOES..... MAKES US ONE!!!! PERFECTLY ONE!!!! No water EVER DID THAT!!!
