Hi All,

I hope we can stay on topic and not wander all over the place.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Although I am quoting one article from Judaism, one from a Unitarian source, and one from a JW source, they do have the truth as far as God being one person. I am only quoting good articles that reveal what…[Read more]

The baptism of the Spirit is not of cleansing but of sanctification.
Where were men who responded to the Word NOT baptised in water in Acts?
We need the three witnesses to our faith shown in 1jn 5.

Me: Where else in 1 John 5 does it talk about three witnesses but vs 7?

Again being dishonest

Are visions just imaginary?
Can you visions with conversations happening that never occurred?

Jesus Christ brought life and truth potentially to all who follow him into his death and resurrection.
That way is of water and the Spirit but folks still argue outside the gates of salvation

HI Nick:

Why does the bodies of men need to be washed in the name of Jesus Christ?
The most important reason is that God demands we submit to it.

Me: Our corruptible bodies do not need to be washed.  What needs to be washed is the inside, our minds and souls.  We submit to baptism, which is a ritual because God commands it, if we ca…[Read more]

You make some good points.
But you still take some liberties with 1 Peter 3 claiming Noah was just an example used and not specific.

And you did not mention that it says that water baptism is more than symbolic and saves us.
The words of Paul are definitely written to the washed as the start of his books show.

Hi all,

The Ark and the Call to Christ

How Is The Ark Symbolic Of Jesus Christ?

Hi Nick,

You: You realise that you have changed the words of 1 Peter 3 by extending the meaning.
You have TAKEN AWAY the written specificity to those at the time of Noah and ADDED the prison of sin and death.
Is it wise to TAKE AWAY FROM and ADD TO the Word of God?

Me: This is a false accusation to justify your lack of understanding of this.…[Read more]

Ecclesiastes is not written specifically to the anointed ones.

The whole bible is specifically written to the anointed ones. The anointed ones include all the saints.  We are anointed to become kings and priest (Rev 5:9).

Hi Nick,

What does scripture say?
Jn 3.5
Truly , truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
1 peter 3.21
Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh,
but an appeal to God for a good conscience- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
