Thanks, I just wanted to be sure. It's hard to accurately move forward making assumptions. In John 3, Jesus tells Nicodemus that unless one is born of water and Spirit he can not enter. Jesus is looking forward to after He purchases the church with His blood. The Holy Spirit was not poured...

May I suggest you might be overlooking an important fact. Were the tax collector and the thief saved by the gospel? For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Do you see this as water? Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

I would suggest that even though a large crowd, it was also individual. “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

That is a great passage to show what is the gospel. When Jesus sent out the 12/11 to proclaim the gospel, we see they did it right away. God shows us the gospel the they proclaimed in Acts 2. Later when we see they are preaching the word, we know what they are preaching. When Jesus sent...

Works for me.

Could you please point me to the book and chapter where Paul first preach this "other" gospel?

This seems to be the sticking point thinking water baptism came AFTER they received the Holy Spirit. If you told me already, I apologize. Could you please explain how you see this verse. I assumed but maybe I should ask, do you see baptism in this verse as being water? And Peter said to...

This is my current understanding. No one today is under the law (of Moses) but Christians are under the law of Christ (grace). I feel Paul makes it clear here. 1 Cor. 9:20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not...

I suggest there is no more revelation from God before the end. We're just waiting on our death or Jesus to come back. Game over either way.

They haven't answered yet. Is it a hard question?

If I understand you correctly, I agree.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not trying to be difficult, I just want to be sure I understand what it is you're trying to tell me. The way you explained the baptism of repentance is a little confusing to me. It kinda looks like 2 negatives. I'm no genius so please more to the point...

I suggest this isn't really a good argument. Would you want me to use this tactic with you?

The bible says So those who received his word I think we can agree means believed and repented were baptized, hopefully we can agree based on the context is water. and there were added that day about three thousand souls Those who believe and were baptized and having received the Holy...

They do agree, John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Could you point out the part of the passage where this was accomplished?

This is incorrect. To be baptized into Christ is to be baptized in the name of Jesus, which is water. I suggest you're reading into this passage what you want to see. ONLY those who were baptized (in the name of Jesus) were added. Which of these is true? Whoever believes and is baptized...

I disagree that it has nothing to do with water. It has everything to do with being baptized in the name of Jesus. Yes, those passages say we're baptized into Christ. On the day of Pentecost, of all those who heard the gospel, which ones were added to Christ? Acts 2:41 So those who received...

Were the people Paul is writing to in those letters baptized in the name of Jesus?
