    Spiritual Baptism

    The op asked for scripture supporting spiritual baptism, I provided them. We disagree on how their interrupted. I gave many versions that say baptized BY the Holy Spirit. I believe By/In/With the Holy Spirit are all applicable to spiritual baptism & NO H2O or hands are required. I cited the...

    Spiritual Baptism

    Water baptism isn't a work that somehow earns salvation. Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. (MY COMMENT: The key to this verse is found in the article "TOWARD". Repentance TOWARD God & faith TOWARD...

    Spiritual Baptism

    1st, the OP asked a question about Spiritual baptism vs water baptism. The only way one can be saved is if Jesus baptizes them with His Holy Spirit. Water neither removes sin or saves. 2ndly, I agree all versions aren't the same, some being more clear then others. Having said that, I believe...

    Which temple of the lord 🤔

    What Temple? Solomon's temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. There was only 1 Temple standing when Jesus & John were alive. Matt 1:2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob. Again Levi begat by Jacob was the patriarch of the Levitical Priestly Tribe. Ishmael doesn't line up...

    Which temple of the lord 🤔

    Ishmael? A Temple Priest had to be a descendent of Levi. Levi was the 3rd of the six sons of Jacob & Leah. As in Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. 1 Chron 24:7-18 King David orders 24 priestly divisions/courses, that were then instituted during Solomon’s reign. This priestly rotation began in the Hebrew...

    Dispensation of Law vs dispensation of Grace.

    Two different covenants, the dividing line is Jesus death & resurrection. Gal 4: Matt 15:24 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (PARSING: Jesus Himself say's: He was sent (ONLY) to the lost sheep of the house of Israel) Rom 15:8 Now I say...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. (MY NOTE: James is an Israelite, his mission is to Israelite' (Gal 2:9), he's writing to Israelite'.) Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    I disagree, James is a Jew sent to preach/share Christ with saved & unsaved Jews/THE CIRCUMCISION (Gal 2:9). James is a Jewish epistle, addressed/written to the 12 Tribes/THE CIRCUMCISION/Jews which were scattered abroad. Ja 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    Typical inaccurate (condescending) Nehemiah6 reply The word Brethren has 333 mentions in the OT. Not once is it a reference to a Christian. THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS, YET! Every time Jesus mentions brethren He's referring to Jews. While Jesus is alive: THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS! James is a Jewish...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    70 nations (see Gen 10) God chose ONE > Israel. He cuts a covenant at Sinai with Israel (not all nations. Ex 19). ALL the PEOPLE (Israel only) say, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do (Ex 19:8) & a covenant is established. The other 69 nations are ALL gentiles & have NO part in this...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    1st The thread is about the book of James. Peter's epistle is another topic. Briefly, the strangers Peter is referring to are believing Jews. They had fled Jerusalem for their lives. Because of anti Christ law zealots like Saul. They were now STRANGERS in the lands of Pontus, Galatia...

    The misunderstood Book of James & parsing the covenants/dispensations.

    The word Judaizer comes from a Greek verb meaning: to live according to Mosaic laws customs. So, James wasn't a Mosaic law adherent? James like every Israeli lived his whole life as a Mosaic law adherent. James did not believe Jesus was Messiah until after the resurrection (Jn 7:5). James is...
