I watched about 5 minutes. As soon as he stated “ This is a requirement” I knew he was teaching “Works” salvation.

In the video...this one of the point...
In order for a man to be born again..
We need to bury the old man...this was further explain in the video...
Burying the old dead man in baptism we planted a new man (rom 6) this is liken unto conception (born of water).
As God fave breath to adam...we are sealed with the holy spirit of promise and the at resurrection a new man is born (born of spirit)...

Now...there is natural body and spiritual body (born in spirit)....
That which is born of flesh is flesh and born of spirit of spirit...
Born again begins at baptism and culminate at resurrection

When Jesus said...You MUST...
Should it be done or not? Is it required or not?

Well here is another issue, how do you know Jesus is referring to baptism? He never actually said “Baptize”. Again, He was speaking to a Jewish Pharisee and was referencing something in the OT scriptures. You’re essentially saying that salvation is bought by works and no YouTube video can justify that.

There are a lot of scholars whom disagree on that particular passage. Since Jesus was Jewish and Nicodemus was Jewish, it had something to do with cleansing by water.

See, you’re starting to get into the grace by sanctification area by claiming its mandatory. That’s a dangerous road to travel.

I won’t. Once the requirement aspect is involved, I know it’s a false doctrine. Anyone can splice verses together to say anything they want.

The requirement...was only based on what Jesus said....you MUST...
let me ask you...
Are you baptise?
Why is there a need to baptise someone?
Can we just baptise anyone?

Why? Because I don’t believe a YouTube video with bad theology? So you think that by works salvation is attained?

burying the old man is symbolic by water baptism as Rom 6 says. The salvation is grace through faith. After one believes on Jesus then the are to be baptized

You know you would be correct if you tear out John chapter 14 to 16. How can the Holy Spirit not be involved with the believer? When Jesus Said in Acts 1:8 we would have power to be a witnesses after the Holy Spirit has enclothed us with power?

Do you think your understand of the very word of God is achieved without the Holy Spirit today?

If you were not first taught how to understand Acts by Pentecostals, you would have an entirely different view from theirs.
