Wakeup,I have some trouble understanding your post.  That may be because we differ on some basic understandings.A human being has two essential parts.   The first part is the flesh which comes from the ground and the second part is the spiritual which comes from heaven.  The spiritual side is called spirit and gives life to the flesh side.   Tha…[Read more]

Pierre,Luke 3:16 teaches us that John the Baptist’s immersion was a water baptism. Matthew 3:11 states that it is with water for repentance.

Pierre,When John the Baptist commands the Pharisees and Sadducees to bear the fruit of righteousness after they are immersed in water he is commanding them to repent and so walk according to a new spirit and not their old one.  That is the same thing Jesus teaches Nicodemus.  It is also a teaching that any teacher of Israel should have known as i…[Read more]

To all,Jesus was teaching of the immersion of John the Baptist which included a pledge of a clear conscious before God. The fulfillment of that pledge is that the immersee walks according to a new spirit and so is reborn in spirit.

To all;Judge for yourself whether what Seekingtruth states is true. I was sick, near unto death according to some. People prayed. I am now out of the hospital and recovering.
