The bible tells us we must be saved as well as how to be saved. There are no caveats or exceptions. If there were, then his word would be meaningless and untrustworthy.
Nothing wrong with rrpeating the truth. Maybe it will eventually sink in for those who are unknowing or choose to reject it out of their ignorance, or predicated upon a false doctrine they've come to believe.
Did i say I rejected anything? I only said or resaid what the scriptures state. What I stated is correct; go see for yourself. And it doesn't matter what I or you think or believe, or choose to reject. The bible being our one and only guide is meant to be for our learning, understanding, and...
The only examples we have are in the scriptures, and therein you find that subsequent to Jesus's death, all were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. We're baptized into HIS body, and become part of HIS body which is HIS church.
You're missing the point still. A command and a requirement is exactly that. A comma and requirement. How can you ignor it? And further, your ignorance of it is based on a non-scriptural skewed viewpoint. The words of the scriptures disagree with you. And it can't be ignored or explained away...
I think you're missing the point. There are those things required of us by God that we must do and they constitute a physical process or action, one of them being baptism. Confession with the mouth is physical yet too it is also required. If God demands we do it, then we must. That's called...
There are many, but the mystery of God is by far the most perplexing, that dwarfs everything else including the universe which is simply one of his creations.
Yes. John's baptism was the precursor to the baptism noted in Acts 2:38. It was identical except that in Acts 2:38, the baptism is in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Unlike John's baptism, which would require continuous repeating upon sinning, baptism into Christ is a one...
You can say nope all you want, or nope backwards, epon, or change the letters even, open, peno, pone, or whatever, but you can't change what the scriptures clearly say. Nope; that ain't gonna happen.
Everything we do in, by, and through the physical body is some kind of "work". People tend to use this word "work" erroneously and flagrantly to describe things that are done out of scriptural necessity or by command as though they are somehow wrong simply because of them being physical in...
As I posted for another one here, read a bit further in the Corinthian letter to understand your posted scripture regarding what Paul said about him coming to preach.
Apollos baptized, Paul planted the word. Re-read the pertinent text again with this in mind and Paul's opening comments about...
Supplement to my previous posting
BAPTISM: Necessity or option?
Baptism is required in order to:
· Be saved
Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved”
1st Peter 3:20/21 “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of...
It's not the unbeliever that is on question. The bible says nothing about those doing the baptizing. The only thing we can glean from the bible is believers baptized others. Is it important who is doing the baptizing? The bible doesn't say whatsoever.
