    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    I don't consider the ten commandments to be the law of Moses. Moses merely delivered the tablets God inscribed with God's law. They are the commands of and from God. Not Moses. And if we read them I think we see they encompass every detail as pertains to keeping ourselves in God's way. Jesus...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    Maybe at this juncture John 15 could shed some light on this matter of water. Jesus said, I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    What of those who fail to do so in some way? Is their Salvation then revoked? I've met some Christians who insist the ten commandments of God, that Jesus taught and said, if we love him we'll keep his commands, no longer apply. Is our Salvation in peril if we don't obey those?

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    I may be missing it but where in the bible are we told being saved and being born again are two separate things? As I understand it, we're born spiritually dead, removed from understanding or reaching , the righteousness of God. Because we're born in the flesh that is worldly, carnal, selfish...

    Biden Bill Forces Faith-Based Child Care to Affirm LGBT Ideology or Lose Federal Funding

    Mike Pence had his chance to do the right thing and failed. The chief justice of the supreme court reportedly was screaming so loud in his refusal to hear Trump's case against the election results that people said they heard him ranting all over the courthouse. Congress is majority Democrat...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    Jesus insisted on being baptized.:) Matthew 3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us...

    Jesus laying down His life vs. Him being murdered

    Just because you claim I want to be argumentative does not make it true. When in your second post to me it is proven you are intentioned in that direction. What you appear to object to is when someone you address through such tactics does not remain quiet and simply concede you are correct...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    Jesus was the water of life. Jesus saves. H2O does not. John 3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    I think we do well to hold to those scriptures that say otherwise, and from Christ's own mouth. If God can be misrepresented at his word, what chance do we have pointing out the truth in his word to those who don't nsist the unbaptized are not really saved? I feel sorry for those who are in...

    Biden Bill Forces Faith-Based Child Care to Affirm LGBT Ideology or Lose Federal Funding

    If nothing else this bill shows us how corrupt our government is when undertaking an effort to violate our first amendment unalienable rights. And vacate the separation clause. Though I will say I don't think this bill has a chance of passing as is. On the other hand, Christian organizations...

    True.First century people were not aware then as we are now regarding what we term as science. When a woman's water broke then as now it appeared as if water gushes forth from her body. And as innocent as people were then, it remains true. Amniotic fluid is mostly water...

    Water baptism is necessary to be in the first resurrection

    Another way of looking at the passage that refers to water and spirit is to consider Jesus and his earthly ministry. John 4:9-14 “…Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a...
