    What now? Is a benefit to have this  believers Haven set away from the fatherless, that believers also  are possibly seduced into worshiping Balam

    So In the same manner you can command outward baptism, yet it is all with the heart man.

    Hi charity,
    John passed on the message from Jesus, from God.
    It is a plea for the inner washing of the grubby heart by the shed blood of the lamb.

    Nick…..the grubby heart is not washed by the shed blood of the lamb. We are washed by the Holy Spirit through the SPIRITUAL BAPTISM Given us by GOD the FATHER, Jesus' shed blood brought us the forgiveness of our sins by way of his payment through the effectual working of GOD'S Spirit in him, That same Spirit is what changes our thinking and cleanses us by transforming of our minds and hearts. Nick why do you have such a hard understanding the salvation process?.

    Scripture speaks of washing with water and the Word.
    But the Spirit ?
    Eph 5
    26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

    Nick….washing of water (BY) the word. Now what did Jesus say the words were, they (ARE SPIRIT) the washing here is the washing by the Spirit. John said for I indeed do baptize with water, (BUT) Jesus would Baptize withe (SPIRIT) and (FIRE) . even John new there was a difference. Water is symbolically referencing SPIRIT used for cleansing a persons mind and heart.

    You are not allowed to adjust scripture by adding your two pence worth.
    Jesus is our teacher and he does not need your help.

    Nick….If Jesus was your teacher then you would understand what i wrote , but it is obvious you can comprehend it. If you believe water really cleanses you from sin then you not only don't understand Jesus but you despise his words, and are still Carnal minded. IMO

    GB,
    If you wrote the words of Jesus instead of adding your interpretation we would all be on the same page.
    Out of your mouth should come what was from the mind of Christ and not your own thoughts.

    If you read 1 Peter 3 you will see that the water is a PLEA for cleansing by the blood.
