Let me ask you, why did Paul still have his sins that needed to be washed away?

Absolutely true, God can be relied upon. With all due respect, what I see you doing is forcing pieces to fit. You take the pieces above and they tell you God cannot cut off a branch He added. So you have to say the branch added itself which is impossible and not supported by scripture. God...

The bible tell us it does wash away sin. And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

I'm glad you kid. It's not my intention to get people fired up. I just want to challenge them and myself. So let me ask you. When the Ephesians get this letter and read one baptism, how will they know it's "spiritual" baptism and not the water baptism when they were converted?

Yes, that is what I said. If you believe it happened another time, please point it out.

My search didn't find a verse that said baptized by the Holy Spirit. Did I miss it?

I'm sorry but I didn't say it was limited. I only said what I read in the bible.

I did turn up Mark 1 but not Jn. 1. Thanks. Those 2 verses are looking forward to the first time baptized with the Holy Spirit took place.

I'm sorry you can spin it however you like but it's simple math. (1) "spiritual baptism" and (2) water baptism.

I'm sorry but I don't understand why you disagree with this. I did some bible searches and this is what I've found. Please point me to a passage that I may have missed. This is every mention of baptized with the Holy Ghost in the bible. Mark 1:8 For John truly baptized with water; but ye...

True there are many who think they are in Christ but they are not. They are not grafted in they just think they are. I'm sorry but it's impossible for man to add himself to the body. God does the adding and the taking away.

Then that is 2 baptisms, not one. If "spiritual baptism" is the one baptism, then to add another baptism is going against the truth. One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Yes. If you do a search for baptized with the Holy Ghost (Spirit), you'll see it was something specific and only happened twice for special situations.

So you're telling me that man can add himself to the body?

I'm not sure if your are aware but baptized with the HS only happened twice?

So do those "spiritually baptized" get water baptized?

I agree. In your previous post you just listed baptisms and I wasn't sure of your point. I don't rely a whole lot on the writings of the scholars or "church fathers". I do read them every once in a while, but for the most part I rely on what the bible says. God wrote it on level we can...

I don't see the last one in scripture

So you're saying those wild branches God grafted into the tree are not saved?

I'm sorry but they are not spiritual. There is plenty of proof to support the Ephesians and Corinthians were water baptized, some twice. I don't know of any proof of a "spiritual baptism"? If they are spiritual then Eph. 4:5 doesn't make sense. Everyone converted was water baptized then you...
