@EdJ Hi Ed,
All men are born of flesh.
Not all men are reborn from above.
REPENT, BELIEVE AND BEBAPTISED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND YOU WILL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago

Men do not baptise in the Spirit.
Baptisms done by men are of water.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
So your claim is that the baptism of water is the baptism of John and is for the Jews only?
‘Here is water. What is to prevent me from being baptised?’
And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they bth went down into the water, Philip as well as the Eunuch; and he baptised him.

And Paul said
‘John baptised with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in him who was coming after him, that is Jesus Christ.’NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
Indeed the baptism of John was of water and essential for the Jews.
Lk 7.30
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptised by John.And there is no confusion with the baptism of water in the name of Jesus Christ

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Indeed Lk 3.16 specifies the baptisms.
No confusion there.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
Yes angelic sons of God abandoned their proper abode and came into the daughters of men.
Angels are not of flesh and not born of flesh and God does not forgive nor give help to angels.So how does John 3 relate to this as it was not spoken to or about angels?

@EdJ Hi Ed,
THE MENTION OF WATER BAPTISM WAS TO THE JEWS.
what does this mean?” Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto…[Read more]

@EdJ Hi Ed,
God is a God of peace and not confusion.
If anyone can appoint a meaning to baptism such is confusion..
Unless specified I suggest that baptism refers to baptism in water.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
1Peter 3 mentions water.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
So if the word REPENT appears alone do you ASSUME that water baptism is not required?
Scripture does not say SPIRIT BAPTISM SAVES but it does say baptism saves in1Peter 3.
When scripture says baptism do you ASSUME it means BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT?NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 8 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
This is one of the basics of our faith as Hebrews 6 shows.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Cornelius and his friends were baptised in the Spirit first, but Peter insisted they be baptised in water.
