from the tabernacle thread last year in which wansvic outlined some of her beliefs regarding water regeneration
Post 242
As I mentioned to bluto, I think the thing that
people don't realize is that it was God's choice to remit sin based on the obedient faith demonstrated in one submitting to water baptism.
Water baptism was not some idea people came up with to try and save themselves. Water baptism was created by God.
so she believes water cleanses from sin..aka water regeneration and a doctrine that does not exist in scripture
I responded some posts after with this: Post254
from the Old Testament:
“For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.” (Leviticus 17:11)
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7)
redemption how? by His BLOOD. no bath or shower
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13)
how have we been brought to the throne of grace? by a water sprinkler? by a water truck? by the Jordan River?
NO. by the BLOOD of Christ
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Revelation 12:11)
what is the devil overcome by? a water hose? NO, THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB (of God)
and since the oneness crowd likes to quote Peter so much, this is what Peter says about blood and NO baptism:
“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:18-19)
see that? no water at all. Peter states emphatically that the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST alone has redeemed us.
what was used in the Passover in Egypt? did they sprinkle water on their door posts or blood?
this is very very serious. claiming that ANYTHING but the blood of Christ washes away sin is demonic. it is as serious as saying there are many ways to be saved.
so pardon my outburst but folks need to get serious and recognize what is really going on here
this is more than simply a disagreement about a non-salvic doctrine in scripture...this is the CORRUPTION of the gospel and as such,
is following a spirit of error or, what the Bible actually calls a DOCTRINE OF DEMONS
serious as life and death

from the old to the new testament, it is always and only blood that makes atonement for sin
