Do you know why the Apostle John wrote his first epistle?
? with a pen most likely on parchment haha
by the wisdom of the Holy Ghost
You know what else ? John was baptized in water for remission of sins.
but your not hearing my point
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
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?”
John 3:3-4
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
John 3:5
he isn’t explaining how a man is born as a baby in the flesh , he’s explaining how a man is born again in the spirit.
“Then
Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Acts 2:38 KJV
that’s how a man is born a second time the flesh has nothing to do with it , nor the water of a woman’s womb. It’s about being born a second time of water , spirit And blood.
The water God promised in the prophets that would witness to the blood God promised in the prophets and bring the spirit God promised in the prophets.
“And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
Acts 22:16 KJV
“
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And
he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Acts 10:47-48 KJV
“And as they went on their way,
they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See,
here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said,
If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and
they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch;
and he baptized him.”
Acts 8:36-38 KJV
“….in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is,
eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:”
1 Peter 3:20-21 KJV
When someone believes Jesus does for thier sins and hear the faith of baptism and respond . It becomes a conscience that has now done what God said remits sin. They have agreed to Gods word and should rest understanding tbker sins are washed away because of the shed blood of Jesus and their dsith in Gods operation
baptism hasn’t changed the spirit just wasn’t given until Christ rose up into the heavens and sent it at pentocost as you see after that baptism didn’t change the apostles kept baptizing in water for remission of sins and received the promises of God to remit thier sins and give them freely the Holy Spirit.
how can a man born again when he is old ? Be born of Gods water , Gods blood and Gods spirit.
brother it’s alright if you see it different I’m okay with that I hope you also are
