By recieving water baptism, a man is making a formal statement to the world that he has been changed, born again. He is proclaiming that he died to his old self is now a new creature in Christ. For the world did not see what occured inside the man, and by the man recieving water baptism, he is giving glory to God. Praise God. Thus giving the man a…[Read more]

God begat his Son, the Word into existance. His Son is the image of the Father and does nothing other than the will of the Father.The Son is Spirit and all of creation came by the Son and though the Son by the will of the Father. The Word is Spirit and all of creation came by the Word and through the Word by the will of the Father.

Dear Is 1:18,The Son is Spirit. When on the cross, for the first time since the Father begat the Son, the Father became seperate from the Son. It is for this reason the Son said, ” Father, why hast thou forsaken me.” The Son became our sin, and because of this, the Father had to seperate himself from the Son. And when the Son died, his soul went…[Read more]

Nick, where is scripture is water baptism anything other then symbolism? You are grounded in the teachings of men that you so continuously proclaim all should escape from. It is the Catholic church that started that salvation came by baptism and you are defending it.

Nick, you just don't get it. Symbolism does not save. It is just that, symbolism. It is a work. Read the scriptures. They debated this very issue. There were some who believe the same, that works saved a man, and the scriptures plainly point out it is by grace, not works that save a man. This issue was resolved in the days of the apostles. Why do…[Read more]

Amen. For we are born again by faith. It has nothing to do with water. We believe unto salvation and Christ comes and lives in our hearts. We are reborn, born again in the spirit. The spirit that was dead because of sin, is reborn by Christ, the quickening spirit.

Thank you Nick. I believe that rebirth comes when one is forgiven of his sins from a repenting heart. And at that moment, Christ comes into the heart of that man and that man becomes a new creature in Christ.

So you are saying a man is not born again until the resurrection?

It is for this reason I make my stand on the Word of God and not the words of foolish men into teaching that are popular excursions outside of faith. And the most important part of the faith is all things can be proven by using his Word. God's Word is a double edged Sword that shreds all false doctrines to pieces. For the Word of God is eternal.

I could not have said it better myself.

Nick, when is a man born again? Is he born again when he asks Christ into his heart while repenting of his sins or is he born again in the resurrection?

Can you name one that I am in fault of Nick? I can name plenty, and I pray for a fresh covering of my precious saviours blood that I might be forgiven. As to what you are talking about, I am all ears and if it has merit, I will repent.

Nick, one thing I can say good you is you have a gift for being affluent in the way you make your wording flow. The only problem is that you know as well as I, that you agreed many post ago, that water baptism saves no one. We agreed it is important and that it is an act of obedience. And here we are again with you once again making the claim that…[Read more]

Amen.

Can you explain what you mean by LK 16.

A man is saved by faith, not works.

Wrong again Nick.

It is called the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Have you heard of it Nick?
