Thanks Angela. The site actually adds the link along with the book, chapter, verse, and version. If you copy from there and paste, the link will be there automatically. I guess its just their way of advertising their site.

“Kefa answered them, “Turn from sin, return to God, and each of you be immersed on the authority of Yeshua the Messiah into forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh!” ‭‭Acts of Emissaries of Yeshua (Act)‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭CJB‬‬...

“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.5.1.KJV “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who...

I see it as a combination of the two. God is working to produce faith in people. He is doing this by bearing witness to his Son. Jesus tells us this. “But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him...

When I think about Mark 16:16, I ask myself “is the baptism(immersion) mentioned the immersion of our physical bodies into water?” 1 John 5:1 makes me think it is not. How can 1 John 5:1 be true if it is physical water immersion? “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God...

How can this be true when Peter said there was no distinction between us and them. Remember that “us“ included the elders who were present in Acts 15. Also, the ”no” in ”no distinction” is not just a simple no. It is a different word that means not even one. So Peter said in Acts 15 that not...

Just wondering if you have ever noticed this: “The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the...

“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.5.1.KJV How can this verse be true if you are correct? Also, for Acts 2:36-42, if you...

Ephesians 1:13 says this: “In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/59/eph.1.13.ESV The Holy Spirit seals us in him when we hear the word...

If someone comes to believe can we not say that their mind has changed? Think about this verse: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬...

I agree with you. I see the CJB version as saying that when we repent we are immersed into forgiveness of sins. Not immersed into water. I also believe metanoia simply means to have a change of mind. So, this essentially says change your mind and you will be immersed into forgiveness of...

In my opinion this is a good illustration: Here Baptizo is transliterated: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬...

“Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You...

“But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.” Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:17-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬...

No water is mentioned in the Acts 19 passage. It has to be assumed or added. Isn’t this exactly the same as Ephesians 1:13. “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of...

Romans 6:3-5 fits perfectly with my post in an earlier thread. When a passage about baptism makes perfect sense without assuming the medium is water, should we read water into it? I keep thinking about this: “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do...

How can the immersion of our fleshly bodies be anything but a work. Consider this: “It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— concerned only with foods and drinks...

On Romans 4:5 consider that in Romans 4:1 the term used is flesh. That term covers any work we do in the flesh not just the law. Abraham of course wasn’t under the law and at the time his faith was counted as righteousness he wasn’t required to be circumcised either. “What shall we say then...

Runningman I thought of one more piece of evidence that supports the view of John 6:29 that I presented to you. That is the response that Jesus received to his statement in John 6:29. “They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou...

When I see this discussed I think of this verse. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.4.5.KJV Here we see a person who believes and has faith but has no...
