Baptism is signifying the "death, BURIAL, and resurrection" of Jesus. Burial=bury
The natural man (1 Cor 2:14) will not repent of breaking one of God's spiritual laws that he thinks is foolishness.
Define what you mean by "priest."
Jesus Christ has become the high priest (Heb 3:1; 4-14-15), and we cannot become saved without him.
If you're referring to a run-of-the-mill priest, then yes, absolutely. We can be saved without them.
"The Christian sacrament* of baptismal regeneration is required for the new covenant and salvation!" ???
READ YOUR BIBLE!!!
"The Christian sacrament of baptism is the Initiation into the new covenant and must be ministered to you by the apostles!"
The apostles are all dead.
“Faith alone” Without Charity?
Deut. 6:5
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 14:28
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
1 cor 13:2 all faith without charity avails nothing.
1 cor 13:12 now abide faith, hope, and charity, and the greatest of these is charity.
If salvation was by “faith alone” then faith would be the greatest!!!
If we are saved by faith alone then when we first believed we would be saved?
Romans 13:11
…our salvation nearer than when we believed.
James 5:20
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Corinthians 16:22
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Not according to Christ and scripture
Matt 28:19-20 I am with you (apostles) till the end
Acts 1:8 witnesses to the ends of the earth. Thanks
Didache (teaching of the apostles)
Acts 2:42
Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism. And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living water. But if you have no living water, baptize into other water; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized to fast one or two days before.
None of these scriptures are referencing eternal deliverance. Only deliverances that the born again child of God receives as he sojourns here on earth.
The only priest that can deliver us eternally is JESUS. The fact that you believe your personal priest is God is an abomination.
Bishops? If you mean elders or overseers, then they are not necessarily apostles, according to Scripture.
"Other six sacraments"? Your Catholic delusion is showing again. Don't bother arguing as though your position is assumed, for it most certainly is not.
There is no biblical reason why any Christian cannot perform a wedding (though it may not be recognized legally). Scripture says nothing of any other "sacraments".
You would do well to learn what Scripture says about these matters and stop relying on what the Catholics have
Baptismal regeneration makes us Christian in union with Christ and communion with God and Mary our spiritual mother and the saints of God
Thanks
The apostles are saints Jude 1:3 and not dead, they died yes but are not dead.
Matthew 22:32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Jn 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Thanks
Given that Jesus is our High Priest, the answer is No, of course.
If you mean (as I suspect) a mere human priest, the answer is Yes, of course.
