You still have not stated plainly that baptism in the name of Jesus is NOT water. You also haven't told me what the 3rd person singular is relating to. There is plenty of evidence to support baptism in the name of Jesus is water. I'm hoping we can look at that evidence but I'm trying to...

Like I say, I'm no english major. If what you say is true, shouldn't the language be "repent and you will be baptized for the remission of sins" ........"having received the Holy Spirit" past tense You are correct. I've been wrong before and will be again many times over. Here's the problem...

If you truly believe it, don't be afraid to say it. Is baptism in the name of Jesus water baptism, yes or no?

So you're saying, baptized in the name of Jesus is not water baptism?

Does the conjunction "and" put repentance and baptism together? What is the "third" person related to? I'm 100% convinced that water baptism and the Spirit are related. In Acts 19 Paul meets some believers who were accurately taught about Jesus but were baptized wrong. When Paul finds out...

I'm sorry but you have not answered the question. After being sent, we see the 12 proclaim the gospel in Acts 2. We see the same thing with Paul. On Paul's first missionary journey to proclaim the gospel to the world, he does exactly that. God has given us the gospel that Paul received in...

Long list. Looking at the first one, your list makes it sound like there is one apostle. If we look at those two verses you referenced, they point out that Paul is an apostle to a particular group of people. I understand this as they are his primary mission but not only to them. As we see in...

Jesus sent out Paul to preach this "other" gospel, when did he first preach it to convert the sinner? Paul's letters are written to Christians who have already heard the gospel so as to be converted. We have the "gospel of the kingdom" recorded Acts 2, and we see people were converted...

I just hit me. Maybe I've been miss understanding you. Are you saying baptized "in the name of" Jesus is not water? Based on the context, what is Pauls point in 1 Cor. 1:17?

I've never looked at the Greek word for that. Interesting. It makes sense to me that name and authority would be the same. I wouldn't have a problem if it was translated authority as long as it was consistent. Being translated name is correct and probably makes it easier for most readers to...

I try my best to be honest, especially with myself. If I'm fooling myself, can I ever really know the truth. As I said, I'm no scholar or english major. So from an "everyday" person perspective, it appears to me he is stressing the need for baptism. Going from everyone to every one of you...

That is correct, 1 Cor. 12:13 is NOT Holy Spirit baptism. I suggest that baptism with the Holy Spirit happened twice. Pentecost and Cornelius. I suggest water baptism and salvation happen together. We are baptized into Christ where our sins are forgiven. And now why do you wait? Rise and...

Here's my problem with this. In the first version you changed in the name of to on the authority of. I don't disagree that in the name of means by the authority of, but by changing the words it makes it easier to change the meaning. Being baptized in the name of Jesus is without question...

Here's my problem with this line of thinking. In John 3 where Jesus is looking forward to His church He says, unless one is born of water and Spirit. Then when He sends out the apostles, He tells them to make disciples baptizing them in the name of Father, Son and HS. That baptism is clearly...

Paul is speaking to the Jewish Christians who were having a hard time letting go of how they worshiped God for over a thousand years. I suggest that is what the first 11 chapters are dealing with. Jews were bound to the law but Gentiles were not. Paul tells them in the previous chapter that...

15 And he (Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

I'm not sure what you're point is. I believe what the bible says.

I'm not a Greek scholar but I'm curious so I will look into it. I went to Bible Hub but I didn't notice any difference. We can look at other verses to see how baptism and the spirit are related. There are many. At my current understanding, they support the English version of 2:38. Here is...

May I suggest this isn't an all inclusive list. We have to remember this is written to Christians who have already been converted. When Paul says "you believed", it's all inclusive. He doesn't mention repentance either but we know one must repent. He doesn't include confession but we know...

The way I see it, the whole bible is the message of salvation. It's the subject of Nicodemus question because that is how he thinks, fleshly. Nic was trusting his birth (fleshly) into the Jewish nation for salvation. Jesus is telling him that birth will not save him. He needs to be born...
