Hi PC,

We can see the shutters going up  and contempt for the offerings of others very easily.

When did you lose the ability to listen and become a law unto yourself?

Another Ad for the SABBATH KEEPERS.

SDA breast beating.

In whose name did PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR baptise him?

it matters more than PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR does.

Those reborn of the Spirit can produce the fruit of the Spirit and share the divine nature.

Gal 5.22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.

Hi PC,

Jesus shared in the divine nature just as we hope to

and just as we do not become God neither dd that make him God.

Hi P C,

Indeed in Jesus Christ we can become partakers in the divine nature as out Lord Jesus is.because God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. When we are reborn from above of His Spirit we share in his life.

Of course you must be baptised in the name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, not a nonexistent trinity.

Hi PC,

I have no wish to attempt to grasp spiritual concepts using prehistoric tools like literalism and mere logic.

Enjoy yourself.

Hi C,

compare scripture with scripture.

Compare Rev 13.8

with

Rev 17.8

and you will see the meaning better.

Hi C

It seems that even at that tender age Jesus had tapped into wisdom that was beyond the level of his parents.
His Father fed him.
He was filled  with grace and truth.

Hi Carmel,

We need to be reborn of the Spirit to attempt to grasp spiritual teachings.

Hi PC,

You say that baptism does not save you but 1 Peter 3 says it does.

And he is talking about baptism in the name of Jesus.

Who do you think I should believe?”

Hi PC,

The Sunworshipper Constantine, who murdered his wife and his son and got involved in the decisions of the church, was most likely baptised in the name of a trinity, which was in vogue by then.

that would not have helped him.

Hi PC,

Jesus of Nazareth, the son of God and Mary, was anointed at the Jordan with the Holy Spirit and power and God did His miraculous works through him.

Did you think he preexisted and God did not tell us?

In these last days God has  spoken through His Son.

did you hear Him PC?

Heb 1

Hi PC,

Foolish notion or the Word of God?

Hi PC,

” Look. Here is water. What is to prevent me from being baptised?”

said the Eunuch.

God will provide the water if needed.

Hi PC,

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, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to him.

1 Peter 3.21f

baptism saves you.

but you…[Read more]

Hi PC,

Repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

These are the words of God spoken through Peter.

But you find them lacking?

Hi PC,

What you quoted shows that baptism s the priority of God- in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Acts 2.41 shows us that SOULS ARE ADDED (3000) by Water Baptism.

Philip baptised the Eunuch and was immediately taken away.

but folks prefer their own opinion and not scripture.

Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins is a command of God given  by the Spirit in Peter.  Your worries and opinions do not change that.
