@EdJ Hi Ed,
So when scripture speaks of earthly baptisms it speaks water baptisms.
This is the baptism from above that is solely of God
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name,
who were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will be of man, but of God.

@EdJ Hi Ed.
Then do the decent thing and explain yourself.
Your cute one word replies achieve little.
“Your cute one word replies achieve little.” – Nick
One word answers are suppose to give you clarity.
Perhaps the wrong question is being asked.
I don’t have this problem when I ask“Then do the decent thing and explain yourself.” Nick
Do you get to determine what is decent?
“Yes”or “No”

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Are you saying that non Jews do not need to repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ?
And the promise of the Holy Spirit is not for them?No
NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 10 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
Indeed the living Christ baptises men in the Holy Spirit.
But his servants do not. They lay hands on men but the Spirit baptism is from above.Agreed

@EdJ Hi Ed,
It is more important to agree that the words of Peter at Pentecost apply to all men.
All men need God’s forgiveness as offered in water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.
But you said the words were for the Jews?Because they were

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Yes.
Men cannot baptise in the Holy Spirit.Hi Nick,
According to Matthew 3:11 and Luke 3:16 Jesus baptizes us
with God’s HolySpirit. But According to YOU, the HolySpirit
baptizes us with the HolySpirit – this makes no sense ???You have NO Scriptural support for your erroneous idea – only ‘brain-bondo’

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Tit3.5
He saved us , not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy,
by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.Yes, no water baptism mentioned

@EdJ Hi Ed,
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
God is not a God of confusion but He never spoke of natural birth as being of water.Context Nick, Nicodemus Did
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Then Jesus explains of “Born of Water”and “Born Again” of the spirit

@EdJ Hi Ed,
That which is born of flesh is flesh.
(This is why natural men must be reborn from above as flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom)
That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
(If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him)
But God requires we plead for a clean conscience first in water baptism- 1 Peter 3.21That which is born of flesh is flesh.
(This is why natural men must be reborn from above as flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom)
True

@EdJ Hi Ed,
There was s no record of the apostles being baptised in water but Jesus told them the word had washed them in Jn 15.3
God makes the exceptions but the command to all was to be
BAPTISED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS.
WE PREACH WHAT IS COMMANDED.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 10 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
You must be born again. Jesus said it three times, but you see a reference to the natural birth in there too.
Unless one is born of water AND THE Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
You say natural birth is of water but scripture offers your ideas no support.
The Body of Christ is washed by the Word, not the repentant hopefuls.“You say natural birth is of water but scripture offers your ideas no support.”- Nick
Yes Nick, context supports the idea
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6)

@carmel Hi Carmel,
Your flights have fancy have very little to do with what God has revealed.
Take your thoughts away and little would be left.NickHassan posted an update 5 years, 10 months ago
@EdJ Hi Ed,
We must be REBORN.
And this rebirth involves WATER AND THE SPIRIT.And this rebirth involves WATER AND THE SPIRIT.
Yes Nick, natural birth (born of water),
and “born again” (born of the spirit)
