post 423 VCO implies it is the whole world......and your quote does not exist in the scripture...baptized by His Spirit into one body
1 Corinthians 12:13 (GW)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] By one Spirit
we {born again Christians} were all baptized into one body. Whether we are Jewish or Greek, slave or free, God gave all of us one Spirit to drink.
1 Corinthians 12:13 (ISV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For by one Spirit
all of us{born again Christians} —Jews and Greeks, slaves and free—were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:13 (NIV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For
we were all {born again Christians} baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
1 Corinthians 12:13 (NASB)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For by one Spirit
we were all{born again Christians}baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:13 (NKJV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For by one Spirit
we were all {born again Christians} baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] For by one Spirit
are we all {born again Christians} baptized into one body, whether
we be Jews or Gentiles, whether
we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
The Thief on the Cross was to Baptized, it says so right here:
1 Corinthians 12:13 (ASV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]For in one Spirit were we all{born again Christians} baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free;
and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
I did not know that I had to also explain to you that the WE ALL was a reference to ALL born again Christians. Yet another example of you not understanding Spiritual Truths.
And here is the PROOF that the Thief on the Cross became a born again Christian, on the Cross:
Luke 23:40-43 (NKJV)
[SUP]
40 [/SUP] But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
[SUP]
41 [/SUP] And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds
{CONFESSION}; but this Man has done nothing wrong."
[SUP]
42 [/SUP] Then he said to Jesus,
"Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
{REPENTENCE and RECEIVING JESUS AS LORD};
[SUP]
43 [/SUP] And Jesus said to him,
"Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
{ASSURANCE HE WAS FORGIVEN AND WAS SAVED, and would be going to HEAVEN with Jesus that very DAY.};
John 1:12-13 (NKJV)
[SUP]
12 [/SUP] But
as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
[SUP]
13 [/SUP]
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
{born again Christians}
Colossians 2:6 (NIV)
[SUP]
6 [/SUP] So then,
just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him,
{born again Christians}
Remember I tried to explain that all to you before, including proving that Paradise was the THRONE ROOM of Heaven where GOD dwells; and all you did was accuse me of jumping all around the Scriptures with no purpose.
