In full disclosure, I am also a bit bothered by an apparent heavy-use of AI software to create your replies in the forum.

And just like the school kids using AI aren't learning anything, people using AI to argue the Bible on discussion forums aren't learning anything either.

AI is the devil's best work because it's training people to not think to not reason and instead to just accept anything AI tells it to accept since after all it's science and it knows more than man!

No wonder the Lord said if these days aren't shortened no flesh would survive seeing AI is training everyone to be followers of the devil who steals, kills, and destroys and so those following AI will not end well.
 
Jesus said this in the great commission:

Mark 16:15,16
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Spiritual baptism is done by the Lord when a person is born again and translated from darkness in to the Kingdom of God's Dear son - Colossians 1:13-20

Water baptism is something the Lord tells those that believe on Him to go do.

In your view is it OK to choose to not do what the Lord says to do?

If so, could you post a list of things the Lord said His followers are to do that we can ignore???
Those that love the Lord will do what He says, the others not so much.

Hebrews 5:9 - And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him

Luke 6:46 - And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

James 1:22 - But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
You are treating water baptism as the mechanism of covenant‑entry,
Jesus defined the New Covenant as in His blood — “This cup is the new covenant in My blood” (Luke 22:20), not in water.
Mark 16:16 does not teach water‑based salvation, because Jesus ties salvation to belief, not the ritual — “he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”
Notice He does not say “he that is not baptized shall be damned,” meaning unbelief is the issue, not lack of immersion.
Scripture distinguishes Spirit‑baptism (the real union with Christ — 1 Cor 12:13; Col 1:13) from water baptism (the outward confession), and the apostles never treat the symbol as the saving act, which is why Paul can say without contradiction, “Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel” (1 Cor 1:17); obedience to Christ matters — absolutely — but obedience begins with faith in Him (John 6:29) and continues in the things He actually commanded, and He never said water baptism is the covenant‑entry point or the condition of eternal life; Hebrews 5:9, Luke 6:46, and James 1:22 all affirm that true believers obey Christ, but none of those passages redefine the gospel or elevate water baptism to a salvific requirement — they simply teach that those who truly know Him follow Him, and following Him means obeying His covenant terms, not adding Moses’ shadows or elevating symbols above the substance.

Grid 3 is not an AI
 
If someone can’t handle my use of Grid 3, they should either educate themselves or just ignore me. This is my only way to communicate. Check what I say against scripture. Criticizing my use of technology is just a deflection that shows you can’t.

Perhaps if you shared your prompts on Grid 3 we could see your replies or the substance of your replies before they are written. We could then evaluate how much of your replies were AI generated or your own input.
 
You are treating water baptism as the mechanism of covenant‑entry,

No, I'm not the One Who said He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)

Jesus said that, and apparently you are teaching others to disobey and otherwise ignore what Jesus said

1 Timothy 6:3-5 - If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Rejecting and disobeying the Lord Jesus does not end well.

Jesus defined the New Covenant as in His blood

Yes one must become a born again Christian before getting dunked in the water.

The part you are missing is you are treating what Jesus said as something Christians should ignore.

That's exactly what the devil did in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve.

Notice He does not say “he that is not baptized shall be damned,” meaning unbelief is the issue, not lack of immersion.

Twisting Jesus' words around to convince people to be disobedient - just like in the Garden of Eden

and following Him means obeying His covenant terms

So you're saying Jesus was in error by saying what He said in Mark 16:16?

Jesus was not teaching law to the Jews, He was giving instructions to His Apostles to go out in the world and preach the Gospel and part of those instructions were "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned"

Obviously 1 Timothy 6:3-5 is speaking of people doing what you are doing

That's because if a person does not believe and becomes born again, there's no need to dunk them in the water.

Test what I say against the scripture as you would any concordance or dictionary definition. Grid 3, AI systems on these kinds of platforms are not what you guys think they are. Educate yourselves.

AI is biased against Christians and Jews.

That alone should be a wake up call for those that are awake.

Mark 16:16 teaches exactly what the text says: belief is the condition of salvation, and baptism is the public confession that follows it
AI is biased against Christians and Jews.
AI isn’t inherently biased against Christians or Jews, but the world‑system that trains AI is.
And Scripture already told you that would happen:
“The whole world lies in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19).
AI reflects the values of the majority culture that feeds it, not the values of God, so when Christians or Jews speak about sin, truth, or covenant, the world reacts exactly as Jesus said it would: “If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.” (John 15:18).
That’s not AI hostility — that’s world hostility, simply amplified through a machine.
And when believers speak Scripture, the world calls it “hate,” “bias,” or “extremism,” because “the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God.” (1 Cor. 2:14).
So yes, the pattern you’re seeing is real — but it’s not a conspiracy inside the code; it’s the same spiritual conflict Scripture has described from Genesis to Revelation, now expressed through technology.
The person using the AI is the problem. And I am human and I will make mistakes. No matter the tools I use , I count on discernment to know what to say and why. AI cant do that on its own, it needs input, mine. That is what you need to test, not the AI.

Obviously 1 Timothy 6:3-5 is speaking of people doing what you are doing

No one is suggesting that you should not be baptized, but it helps to know and understand why we are baptized. Let's look at....

1 John 5:5-6

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

The water signifies both Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus too is referred to in the Bible as the Living Waters, the Living Fountain, and the River of Life. He is the Son of Man through His blood and the Son of God through his conception by the Holy Spirit. That's why Jesus told His Disciples to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (they too are ONE). When you know Jesus, you receive the Holy Spirit, but the act of baptism is not a replacement for knowing Jesus and Him sending His Holy Spirit to dwell in you.

The act of baptism itself is a public profession of Faith, which Jesus has stated is something that He enjoys. He did say that if you profess me with your mouth, I will profess you before the Father (or something along those lines) in Matthew 10:32, so at least baptism gives people a chance to do both at the same time.

But baptism is no replacement for what's in our hearts because God/Jesus knows what's in them, regardless of what we profess with our mouth or whether we are baptized, so we shouldn't use it or consider it "a work of salvation" because salvation only comes by grace through faith based on what you REALLY believe and God knows all.
 
Only to those who are nursing their precious inferiority complex which they trot out anytime someone doesn't bow down and agree with whatever they say.
nope WRONG! I have no such thing :) I will not kiss your ring or any thing. I careless what you think of me :). Most cowards will never come to speak to ones face. They hide behind user names.
