Just fyi, I've thought a lot about this subject and since scripture can't and doesn't conflict with or contradict scripture, nor dies scripture supersedeother scripture, I've concluded that both Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38 have to be right; and per your question regarding what is the name of God...

It is a doctrinal dilemma because the silliness of man has turned it into one.

Keep twisting things to try to save face when you're obviously wrong and know that you are. You believe your own blah blah. Right is and always will be right and likewise is wrong, and you're always wrong but can't bring yourself to admit it.

Do you believe in the laws of the land? Does your believing them automatically mean you obey them? Do you believe in the speed limit? Does that mean when you go over the limit you're obeying it? Obedience fortifies ones belief. It proves your belief and isva demonstration of your belief, and in...

Belief and obedience are clearly two different things.

John's baptism was not the same exact baptism as the baptism of the NT into Christ. Both are baptism of repentance for the remission of sins which is what John's was specifically called, HOWEVER, it wasn't in the name of or by the authority of Christ, it couldn't be, and no one john baptized was...

The act of obedience is not choosing the gospel but rather obeying the gospel. 2thes 1:8-9 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord...

I didn't say anything about baptism regarding the adulterous woman. I simply said Jesus forgave her which is a fact. Did she son afterwards? Who knows, and unlike the thief who was about to die, she may have lived years more. But baptism has no part in either case because in both cases Jesus was...

Paving the way for Christ. John's baptism has nothing to do with the thief on the cross. Jesus forgave the thief as he did others such as the adulterous woman. Jesus forgave the thief while the OT was still in effect. Baptism into Christ didn't and couldn't happen until Christ's death, at which...

REPOST The thief was forgiven by Christ as he forgave others while alive, under the OT! Baptism wasn't a requirement of salvation until Christ died, at which poitgd NT began. Read Hebrews 9:16-17 16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17For a...

New Testament bible lesson In the bible, the Greek word 'baptizo' has only one generalized GREEK definition: to dip, plunge, immerse. The NT was written in Greek. 'Baptizo' is the Greek word from which our English corresponding word, 'baptize', was transliterated, not translated...

Lack of understanding scripture, not really contradictions

It doesn't only mean that, but you do you. There's more to understanding the Bible than understanding individual word definitions. You should try some study yourself beyond word definitions. Every word in the bible, even the smallest seemingly most insignificant is there for a purpose and...

And there it is. Whenever you don't like what the Bible says you go back to the Greek. It's a shame all of those Biblical scholars who translated the scriptures didn't understand Greek. Yes, and there it is in plain simple English! To baptize in English means to dip, plunge, immerse. It...

member: 324732"]Maybe they did, but the text doesn't say that. My poi cannot use this verse to prove that that the baptism was by immersion. Do you know what baptism, the Greek word means? The word doesn't need proving, it proves itself! Baptism is transliterated, not translated, from the...

Maybe both came walking out of the water, the eunuch after being immersed, baptized, and Philip after he immersed the eunuch. What is your point?

So, you think Philip totally immersed himself, that he didn't just dunk the eunuch, but dunked the eunuch and also went totally underwater too? OK, Great if you think that, but it's kinda coo coo.

Quite obvious Philip was most likely standing in the water while he immersed the eunuch

The previous poster to which you responded is in error. You aren't forgiven until you're baptized, because until you are baptized, you're still in sin, and sin separates you from God. Mk16:15-16 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He...

Salvation requires according to scripture 1. Belief and faith 2. Confession of belief 3. Repentance 4. Immersion in water (baptism into Christ) All of the above, not some, but all
