So it is the decision of God whether or not to accept that the repentance of Constantine was adequate. And we do not know whether he was correctly baptised.

I think it was Eusebius who baptised him. He was an interesting historian who claimed to have had access to an original copy of Matthew’s gospel.

He quoted Mt 28 often and the first 8 t…[Read more]

Hi PC,

symbol or not it does not change the requirement for obedience.

Paul rebaptised the 12 who had not been baptised in the name of Jesus/ Yahshua in Acts 19

Peter ordered that those who had received the Spirit first be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ in Acts 10.

Hi PC,

Forgiveness of sins is offered by baptism in the name of the Lord.

Scripture does warn about dying in your sins.

Washing of the feet symbolises the need to constantly seek God’s forgiveness after baptism.

Jn 13.10

Jesus said to him

“He who has bathed needs only to was his feet, but is completely clean, and you are clean , but not all…[Read more]

Hi PC,

It is not for us to muse about theology but to obey God.

Hi PC,

We have about 15 baptisms in Acts to learn from and none appear to have been done in the name of a trinity. There are no scriptural witnesses to the baptism in Mt 28 in the name of a trinity.

Hi Pc,

The  water that is spoken of in 1 Peter 3 symbolising baptism is the floodwaters that destroyed a generation saving only 8 in the time of Noah.

“Get up. Wash away your sins calling on his name”

There are variations on how scripture describes baptism,” in the name of Jesus , Christ, in the name of the Lord.”

So if God shows us it is not a matter of being pedantic we should accept that.

Hi PC,

in reply.

Simon the magician, was baptised in the name of Jesus in Acts 8, but God found his repentance inadequate. It is not an ordinance but a plea to God as 1 Peter 3 told us . Since the decision was made by God I should not prejudge that. Would you?

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 

Some things to note:

1. The water symbolizes baptism
2. The Holy Spirit is intricately involved in the process of resurrection for believers. The Sp…

The Sunworshipper Constantine, who murdered his wife and his son and got involved in the decisions of the church, was most likely baptised in the name of a trinity, which was in vogue by then.

that would not have helped him.

Constantine I, died on May 22, 337 AD. Further, the Trinitarian formula had become the standard in many Christian…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

Can you not hear the voice of the Spirit in the Son of God?

then go back to seeking the rebirth from above.

@Berean,

So we’re back to Jesus being God…false teaching!!

Did Jesus ever claim to be God, NOPE; what became the Catholics faith codified that in stone at the Counsel of Nicea and then almost 50 years later the “spirit” was added to the mix to create the “trinity” doctrine. History is your friend.

8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I AM from above: you are of this world; I AM not of this world.

8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM , ye shall die in your sins.
8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I AM , and I…[Read more]

@Danny,

How exactly can I be disagreeing with God when HE says HE is the savior??! Again, when did our unchanging God change and pass “saviorship” to the “son”? Have you read Jonah?

I noticed you avoided the question concerning the Messiah; is the Jewish Messiah different than the Christian Messiah or are they the same? Make sure you look it up…[Read more]

Hi PC,

We can see the shutters going up  and contempt for the offerings of others very easily.

When did you lose the ability to listen and become a law unto yourself?

Another Ad for the SABBATH KEEPERS.

SDA breast beating.

In whose name did PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR baptise him?

it matters more than PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR does.

Those reborn of the Spirit can produce the fruit of the Spirit and share the divine nature.

Gal 5.22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.
