Again acts 19:1-6. Baptized unto Christ in water symbolizing burial and rebirth and then purified by the holy ghost by the laying on of hands. As was the custom and practice of ancient Saints Well in the end I guess we can ask Christ the proper interpretation. But wouldn't it be bad to teach...

So do you believe covenants with the Lord are not essential? Did God stop making covenants with people?

I never said it washes souls clean. I just said it was requisite. People haven't been reading clearly, or they read it with a presumptuous notion and communication gets scrambled.

Well faith proceeds the miracles, I think the wester world has so much to distract us it's hard for the Lord to work in the same way as he has in the middle/near-east. But it is always good to read some of the global news stories and learn about the miracles that God is doing.

Did you hear about the Christian women and children that got saved in a cave from terrorists who were going to shoot them all? The kids said that they saw Christ standing behind the terrorist and he said that they would be okay, then the terrorists started freaking out and running because they...

I think it's funny how they are like "Oh your god will enter here? Well we'll just seal it off cause now your god can't enter it." Like God somehow doesn't have the power to have bricks move out of his way. Lol

But that being caught up for a moment for those who are alive and righteous is such a short span in a long sequence of events that most would state that it's not "the rapture" personally I believe that in that twinkling of an eye that people are changed, they recieve a glorified body that would...

I belive that that happens upon his second coming when we are caught up in a cloud as the world is cleansed by fire. But after the world is cleansed they all depend and enter into Jerusalem through the city gate. Now if you're saying the rapture happens for the space of maybe an hour right after...

Just because the word baptism isn't explicitly used the context seems pretty clear. You have to be spiritually reborn or belive in christ before you would be baptized in his name otherwise why would you be baptized if you did not believe?

Then why were those apostles sent out to baptize in Jesus' name for all the saints?

Maybe an unpopular and provocative verse in relation to this question, but... John 10:26-29

Lol I love this question. I've been on for a day and have already encountered some unfriendly people. I think that a good follow up question would be. That if the Lord was in this forum, would people be able to recognize him and heed his counsel?

Well I think that the thing is that the Lord doesn't want you to pretend to like them. He wants you to forgive them, and love them. Now even though Christ said to forgive 7x70 what he is saying is to completely forgive them, as seven and denominations of 10's hold significance in Jewish customs...

I politely decline your challenge.

I'm not here to debate, I like civil conversations with kind people. Arguing and hostilities isn't healthy for anyone. "He that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention"

A single email to a single person who at the time seemed open to what I had to say, in no way am I trying to steal away a congregation for followers. But again you're being really defensive and hostile.

If that is true what then is Christ saying when he says in 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. And as a cross reference Acts 19:1-6

Again not being secretive, just stating that at this point continuing a dialog with you would serve no one, as it would not be done with the Spirit of understanding. There is an old saying a man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. And you sir have clearly shown that all...

The over arching tone in the Old Testament does talk a lot about the doom and gloom, but when Israel is being chastised that's kinda what they focus on. Fore sure the start depicts a kind and loving God as he has been the entire time, but there is a lot of chastisement and destruction that...

Im very confident in what I believe, don't get me wrong. And in no way am I hiding. But as anyone can see at this point out conversation isn't spiritually uplifting or intellectually edifying. You're getting a bit hostile and I'm simply not wanting to engage. If I were to put up a huge discord...
