    Baptism should accompany confessions of faith

    Why would you make a comment like this? Faith only people (like myself) do not at any point of time think any type of obedience is a work of the law. If One claims to have faith. But never does any work. We deny they had faith just Like James does. Their faith was dead. the faith only crowd...

    Baptism should accompany confessions of faith

    Water baptism is a SYMBOL of this. Just like communion is a SYMBOL of the death of christ, and us partaking of that death. It is not the literal baptism which saves us. A good way to look at it is it is a symbol of what God did to us when we were saved. By calling out to him in Faith.

    Eph 2 IS the gospel. And there is a reason water baptism is not in it. Just like it is not in John 3. Because water baptism is not required.

    Baptism should accompany confessions of faith

    Sadly. I am sure you are right, As we have witnessed here, there are churches that teach baptism is a means of salvation. So how could you give a testimony when you have not even been saved yet? I do not know. I have been to many a church and never seen them do a baptism. So I would not know...

    Yes, He baptised BECAUSE of remission of sin. He made this clear when he demanded certain people show fruits of repentance before he would even baptize them And yes, Jesus was baptized to fulfill all. As John even said, The one who come and you see the HS descend like a dove, this is he who...

    Amen Baptism is not the gospel or part of it. It is what we do AFTER we come to the gospel of truth. And are saved. Like so many other things God commands us to do

    Baptism should accompany confessions of faith

    We actually use a pool big enough for multiple people to get in. Because some people want to be baptized by the ones who led them to the lord.. The ones who fulfilled the commission Jesus gave and made them into a disciple

    Another one. I was baptized By God the night I came to him and recieved the Holy Spirit that same night amazingly in the room where a few months later I would be dressing in to go to the baptismal to get baptized in water. But I agree. Getting baptized even in water is not to join and earthly...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Yes, far to many people out there. to think we came close to voting in a woman who would take out country down just because she was a black female (actually she was not black she is an indian) who supported trans rights and open boarder. and did not bring fear to anyone (except the people who...
