@EdJ Hi Ed,
All men everywhere.
Baptism is for forgiveness of sins and all have sinned.
But water baptism is only for the Jews?

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Acts 17.30
Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God Is declaring to all men that all men everywhere should repent.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
The Jews only need to be baptised in water?
Why would you say that?

No longer Jew or gentile.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Quite so. They do not relate to the conversation at all.
So why mention them?

@EdJ Hi Ed,
The two baptisms are inextricably linked. And there is an orderly sequence.
God pours His Spirit into cleansed vessels, but all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Repent and let each of you be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ f Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Heb 10.21
And since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a sincere heart, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
And our bodies washed with pure water.

Jn 13.10
Jesus said to him,
He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean;
and you are clean, but not all of…[Read more]

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
So angels, being neither born once, or again, are blind to the kingdom?

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Having submitted to water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ you tell others it is not required?

Gal 3.27
For all of you who were baptised into Christ have clothed yourself with Christ.
Gal 4.19
My children, with whom I am in labor till Christ and s formed in you-
Col 2.12
Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were…[Read more]

@EdJ Hi Ed,
So everyone who has been born is halfway there?
Nonsense

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Context?
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Do not marvel that I said ‘ you must be born again’

All men are born so being born of water and the Spirit is about the rebirth from above.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
The witnesses are Acts 2.38, romans 6.3-5

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Whatever is not of faith is of sin.

Prove by scriptural witnesses, not private interpretations.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Presumption rules it seems
Faith is witnessed to.

@EdJ Correction
Private interpretation is your way

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Born of water= born of flesh.
Rivaled interpretation is your way.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
No mention of natural birth being of water
And none in the whole of scripture so no witnesses.

Private interpretations are .discouraged.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
You see the KJV as infallible?
The insecure do.

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Out of the mouth comes what the heart is full of.
Theology.
