    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    studier again merges faith and obedience as if they’re the same act — saying, “Faith and obedience are equivalent and inseparable.” That’s a subtle but serious distortion of Scripture. The Bible never teaches that faith is obedience; rather, obedience is the fruit and outward expression of...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    “Faith must show itself in obedience because obedience is equivalent to faith. No obedience, then no genuine faith.” You are equating obedience with faith itself, not as its result. That’s the serious key theological error! That’s close, but there’s an important distinction Scripture keeps...

    Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

    Yeap. I agree.

    Israel.

    The idea that Israel’s modern existence is merely a tool of “Western imperialism” ignores the biblical foundation God Himself laid. Scripture consistently affirms that Israel’s covenant and restoration are God’s doing — not man’s. “For the LORD will not forsake His people for His great name’s...

    Becomes Trump a dictator?

    Oh, have you finally stopped using AI for your posts, Studier? Because the proof is right here Ai proof— and it’s not exactly subtle. :ROFL:

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Right — and that’s exactly how Acts 2:38 and Matthew 28:19 connect. Jesus gave the command to baptize in the name (singular) of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — one divine authority. When the apostles baptized in Jesus’ name, they were acting under that same authority, not changing the...

    Healing from God

    Yeah… this guy Studier lost all credibility with me (and plenty of others) once it came out that he’d been using AI to write his posts...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That question — “What’s the name?” — is a common Oneness tactic meant to collapse Matthew 28:19 into “Jesus only,” ignoring that “name” (ὄνομα) in Greek often denotes authority or power, not just a single spoken word. The “name” in Matthew 28:19 KJV isn’t a single syllable to recite — it’s the...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That’s a classic “Acts 2:38 vs Matthew 28:19” argument — you are implying the apostles “corrected” or “obeyed” Jesus by using only the phrase “in Jesus’ name,” as if the Trinitarian formula was later invention. You’re right that the apostles baptized “in the name of Jesus,” but that phrase in...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    Acts 2:38 (KJV) 38 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. The line of reasoning mentioned in (“Acts 2:38 says be baptized for the remission of sins”) is a...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You post this with absoultyl no scripture to back it up because it is found no where in scripture. Nowhere in Scripture does it teach that obedience to the command itself saves or heals, or that washing in water proves faith is real. That’s a theological addition, not a biblical doctrine. A...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    The pattern in Scripture is always the Word → faith → obedience. The act itself never carries saving power; it’s the response of a heart that already believes. When Peter preached in Acts 10, the Holy Ghost fell on those who heard and believed before they were baptized—showing that the inward...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You can call it “copypasta” if it helps you avoid dealing with the content, but the irony is that nothing in your response touches the Scriptures I cited. When truth is uncomfortable, some resort to sarcasm instead of substance. The issue here isn’t whether a paragraph was typed quickly or...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    You are trying to sidestep theology by turning the discussion into a personal jab about “logic” and “cultic beliefs.” That response avoids Scripture entirely—it’s a diversion. That’s just rhetoric, not Scripture. God’s redemptive plan was never dependent on Noah’s survival—it was secured by His...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That accusation is just a distraction tactic — meant to shift the discussion from Scripture to labels. When someone can’t refute your biblical points, they’ll often attach a historical or theological tag (like “Gnostic,” “Calvinist,” or “heretic”) to make you defend something you never claimed...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That’s an interesting thought, but Scripture never connects Noah’s building of the ark to his spiritual salvation. The ark preserved his body; grace had already saved his soul. Noah was declared righteous before the flood ever began (Genesis 6:8-9 KJV). God didn’t need Noah’s obedience to...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    If you read the Genesis account closely, the sequence matters. Genesis 6:8–9 (KJV) says, “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” That declaration of favor and righteousness...

    Acts 2:38 Comparison: Evangelical vs. Oneness / Baptismal-Regeneration View

    That’s a false dilemma and a poor argument. Rejecting your misrepresentation isn’t the same as agreeing with Gnosticism. My beliefs are grounded in Scripture, not second-century heresies or your straw-man definitions. Grace and Peace Acts 17:11 (KJV) “These were more noble than those in...
