Matthew 7:12 "Therefore whatever you desire for people to do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets." eis/for = so that (future tense) Acts 2:38 Peter answered them, “All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, and each of you must be...

You believe this because your theology forces you to, not the verbiage itself. The "for here" is the same "for" used in: Matthew 26:27-29 New King James Version (NKJV)Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new...

The scribes of the Faith Alone Movement are today's pushers of Gnosticism.

Correct. The Bible uses the Greek word hydatos, which means water. Such as the word is used in the water of the baptism of Jesus. Matthew 3:16: "As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the (hydatos) water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like...

Science also agrees that urine is mostly H2O. That does not make it wise to label it "water".

The act of baptism is well defined by the Bible. What must and what does not need to be believed is not defined by the faith alone pushers. A rather strange situation to be in since it is central to their theology. Also, the complete lack of a scriptural reference using "faith alone" makes...

American Standard Version And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Complete Jewish Bible Kefa answered them, “Turn from sin, return to God, and each of...

I will fill in those blanks for you. Not really saved, because they don't accept faith alone theology. One will lose salvation, because they don't accept faith alone theology. Am I right? People like Mailmandan and others are the modern day scribes, looking down on those who accept baptism...

To read "amniotic fluid" into John 3:5 simply because it does not match your theology is grasping at straws. I will not drink the amniotic Kool-Aid of this absurd notion.

Or maybe Jesus is speaking of the baptism of water for the remission of sins that John the Baptist spoke of in Mark 1:4 & Luke 3:3. Maybe?

Are you implying that Peter was telling the people in Acts 2:38 that they needed to "earn" their remission of sins by getting baptized? It is a sin to add to the Word of God. Eph. 2:8 reads as such: For by grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God...

Do you consider baptism as mentioned in Acts 2:38 as a "work"?

Do you love your theology so much that you are willing to cast doubt on the Bible itself?! This is shocking. I sense that you are of this mindset and if true, you have crossed a line with no ability to go back. The insistence that faith alone theology must be accepted as the place and time...

The very Jesus you speak of commanded baptism as a requirement for salvation. (Mark 16:16 & Matthew 28:16-20) To deny this is an attack on the sufficiency of His authority. Make no mistake about this, you are simply pushing Faith Alone Regeneration Theology. A watered down version of the...

Regardless of what a ring may symbolize in a marriage, baptism is labeled as the "pledge of a good conscience toward God" and not a symbol of that pledge. A necessary pledge, just as necessary as repentance and faith. Just as faith must be in the proper object so too must we act obediently to...

Baptism is an action much like repentance and faith. It is not a symbol. A man and a woman become united by physically acting upon the requirements of marriage (vows), without that physical act the marriage does not exist. Baptism is that signed and witnessed marriage contract, without it you...

Did you copy that from a bumper sticker?

We humans who are made in the image of God are on this planet because God called for it to be. Regardless of how many planets there may be in the universe, life of any kind will not exist without His consent.
