......../QUOTE]


Who needs mans' further input when scriptures are perfectly clear that baptism is required for sin cleansing in the repentance process?

Billy?

...you are nor guided by God's commandments? ......wow!!!

Romans 7:4 says "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God." Is that not in your Bible or did you not read it?

The meaning is clear! Christians are dead to the law!

Do you not think that the law do not commit adultery still stands?

Jesus never commanded water baptism. As a matter of fact, Jesus never baptized anyone with water and never commanded it. His baptisms are by preaching.

Jesus commanded to baptize in the NAME of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Matthew 28:19. The apostles obeyed by water baptizing in the name of the Lord Jesus as seen throughout scripture. Why? Because Jesus is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost as confirmed by Col. 2:9; in Jesus dwells all the fulness of the Godhead.


Also, the truth that being baptized in the name of the Lord is water baptism is witnessed in Peter's exchange in Acts 10:47-48:

"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."

No.

Mark 16:16
The one having believed and having been baptized will be saved, but the one having disbelieved will be condemned.

Note it doesn't say, the one having disbelieved and not being baptized will be condemned.

Who did Jesus baptize in liquid water? Book,chapter,verse?

No one.

If liquid water immersion Dave's Jesus missed teaching by example.

John 17:2

John 17:17
I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

Acts 16:31
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

I dont know how y'all just throw away what is in 1Peter3:21 where he says baptism now saves you.

Romans 7:4 says "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God." Is that not in your Bible or did you not read it?

All the baptisms done with water in the new testament were done by Christian Jews. Jews from all around the Jordan came to John the baptist to get baptized with water by him. WHY? They never heard of Jesus and were not Christians. They went there to publically declare their repentance to God and to witnesses. That is why John's baptism with water is called the baptism of repentance. Remember that at first, Christian Jews thought Gentiles were not included in salvation and after they were included, that they had to be circumcized. Water baptism is just a Jewish expression of repentance. When Jesus first started His ministry, He preached repentance. I believe that giving water credit for performing anything spiritual other than an expression of repentance is a form of idolatry.

Romans 7:4 says "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined
to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God." Is that not in your Bible or did you not read it?

I’ll break the passage down to the best of my understanding then it’s between you and God what you want to believe.

Romans 6:4,5 KJV
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:”

Holy Spirit baptism doesn’t involve physical death or spiritual death because prior to that baptism the person was already dead in their trespasses. Therefore this must be referring to a literal water immersion which is the likeness of His death in the sense when we go below the water it’s like being buried.

“that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

Christ’s body was literally resurrected. Meaning He died and His physical body was brought back to life. When we are are baptized we don’t literally become resurrected because that would involve dying first. That means this is for a future literal resurrection like Christ’s resurrection. There’s no comparison between Christ’s resurrection and a symbolic resurrection. Therefore this verse must be literal.

“For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:”

Legwork here is likeness. Christ didn’t die spiritually or was born again during His water baptism or His Spirit baptism because He’s perfect sinless God. He was not resurrected during His baptism either. This passage is for the church, for repentant sinners, who have been water baptized and will therefore for share in the likeness of His resurrection which was a literally bodily raising from the dead.

There’s no other rational way to understand this passage unless it’s literal and no symbolic.

Who, and/or, what do you mean by "is Dave's Jesus"?

Romans 7:4 says "So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God." Is that not in your Bible or did you not read it?

Read it again = ALL of chapter 3 and pay special attention beginning with vs14
1Peter 3:21 does not say that water baptism saves us.

Peace
