Ephesians 5:19

Hi April.

I don't believe being born of water through your mother has nothing to do with baptism at all.

The baptism mentioned in the early Church was given while the church was in a transition, They started as all Jews. Jesus said he came for the lost sheep of Israel. When Christ was glorified then he told them to go out to the whole world.

At the time Judaism was their religion which they had to denounce.

They were to be baptized as an act of belief. It wasn't for salvation. It was Identifying with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

Have you noticed Paul "one of the chief apostles" Was the apostle to the Gentiles and didn't put no emphasis on baptism?

1 Corinthians 1:17.

WOW! You mean Paul set up churches and ordained ministers such as Timothy and Titus and Christ didn't send him to baptize? Because the Gentiles wasn't bond to the ministry of death given by Moses ( that cause death ). You see baptism expressed the work Jesus came to do on the cross. ( Die in our place ) and rise the 3rd day.

Baptize means to identify with.

Here's how it is used in scripture.

1 Corinthians 10:2. You see the children of Israel was identified with Moses faith, not there own. They was scared and wanted to go back to Egypt. and the see didn't baptize them, They went over on dry land.

Here's another place it's used.

Mark 16:16. Here Jesus is not asking to do two things as it seems, " Believe and be baptized " He's asking one. " Believe ". When you done this you done the other! You've been pit into the body of believers and Identified with Christ. That's baptism of the Holyspirit.

EXAMPLE .

Your standing in front the TV. and someone ask you to sit down and get out the way. Once you sit down You've gotten out the way. and once you've believed you've been baptized.

And it's used like that in Acts 2:38. and several other places.

It plays no role in redemption, It's your outward profession in what you believe that has been taken place.

God bless.

Hello. Have I said something that makes it seem I haven't pursued knowledge of God or that I don't have a sound mind? As believers people will ask us for proof. God expects us to be prepared with an answer to defend our faith. 1 Peter 3:15 "...and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a REASON of the hope..."

Reason(noun): 1. A statement or fact that explains why something is the way it is, why someone does, thinks, or says something, or why someone behaves a certain way

2. the power of the mind to think and understand in a logical way

Thank you Adam for ur comment, & your reference for me to seek information.

I have a question. If 1yr of GODs time = 1000yrs mans time why would Genesis ch 1 mean that GOD created the earth in 6 days?

What is the most powerful prayer to pray without worrying about other people

My comment is I'm a Frontline worker and what I do I take care of residents that have disabilities and helping them to reach there goals. My understanding I work with this lady Ms Tammy. Morrow and she talks to me with a sarcastic attitude My question is how can I obtain myself from that??

Ty Adam. I have been watching a gospel channel that said I don't have to get baptized. I grew up Baptist Church & was very surprised to hear that. I never got baptized because I am a firm believer that if I was baptized and fell into sin that I would never be allowed in heaven. Now 57 & just so you know I have been to many churches to learn about the difference and have for most of my life had a very close & personal relationship with my Lord & Savior & I talk to GOD every day. I am needing to be baptized but don't attend church church anymore due to the hypocrisy of every church I've been to.

Hello,

I may suggest reading Acts 2:38. Notice it says 'every one of you'. It doesn't say just 'some of you' or 'only if your mom or other family hasn't been baptized'. So, when I read the Bible and trust that its words are true, I am also believing in faith that when it says 'every one of you' that it means 'every one of you', including you and me. Jesus made baptism a big deal, so I think the least I can do if I'm serious about following Him is to obey and be baptized. Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Matthew 28:19

Perhaps another question is: are you a Christian? And if so why wouldn't you want to be baptized like Jesus said?

God bless...

Hello, looks like you already got a good response to this.

The word unicorn in the dictionary doesn't only mean a mythical creature. It probably first meant a rare animal, such as having one (uni) horn, perhaps rhinocerous, antelope, ox, or... a unicorn (bad joke).

I have taken that to be wisdom especially when we think to highly of someone & they fall into sin. Putting too much trust in man, woman, their position or title, for example. This was advice maybe through experience.

Proverbs 6:30, Proverbs 6:23-26,

Hopefully these scriptures are also helpful in reference

Genesis 25:34, Hebrews 12:16, 1Samuel 25:10-38,

It is also commanded

Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 24:23, James 1:1-10, Colossians 3:25, Ephesians 6:9, Job 32:21, 2 Chronicles 19:7, Deuteronomy 16:19,

Example Luke 20:21, Matthew 22:16, even when trying to trap Jesus they testified that HE wasn't a "respecter of persons"

Jesus was tested by this Luke 4:2-4,

Is it also coincidence that it was a piece of bread that was given before betrayal by Jesus? John 13:18,21-27, John 6:33,

My church says I don't need to be baptized because I have been born of water through my mother. Is there any scripture to confirm that? Or do I absolutely need to be baptized even if I am a real Christian in my life. Very close & personal relationship with my lord and savior Jesus Christ?

Please pray that I become reconciled to my brother so that I may experience Jesus. Thank you.

Surprisingly, as I was listening to audio play of the book of Job, unicorns are mentioned along with leviathan. I cannot explain whether this creature was understood as a different animal than the one spoken of today but please share if you find anything. Job 39:9-10

Hi Scott.

God was saving People long before Abraham, There was no Israelite. But to answer your question, Here's one of many of many verses.

Acts 15:7-11. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

8) And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

9) And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10) Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

NOTICE VERSE 11.

11) But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ ( WE SHALL BE SAVED EVEN AS THEY.)

"We shall be saved even as they"

If you're not careful you would think it should be the other way around.

"They shall be saved even as us.

Do you see the order of God's redemption plan spoken of by Paul to the Romans?

Romans 9:25-26.

Romans 9:31-33.

Romans 10:1-4.

Romans 10:19-21.

Romans 11:8-25.

Here's the conclusion.

Romans 11:29-33.

God bless.

Hopefully you can read this Bible site, as your Bible. I sometimes take screen pictures of these scriptures, to remember & share. You are welcome to ask questions here.

What should we do now in these to bring a sacrifice to lord when we sin or do something that we shouldn't do as Christians ? or how should we advice for a person who don't know God.

Pray for Denver Colorado tonight. There's a 100 mph fire burning through Denver neighborhoods.

Lord Jesus so many are in bondage (drugs, alcohol, occult bondage etc.). Lord you said in your word that you came to set the captives free and that by your stripes we are healed. Please grant the anointing that destroys the yoke and set prisoners in bondage free incl. us. I also ask for your strong protection for all of us and all in need and most importantly I ask for the salvation of all who are unsaved including my unsaved family members and relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues and all others in our path. Lord please pour out your Spirit once again as you said you would in Joel 2. Thank you and praise you. In your mighty name I pray Lord Jesus. Amen

I like to read each account of a given biblical account especially when deeply searching truth or studying details. The search box on this site is helpful for that.

Hopefully this is helpful

On wich day and month were Jesus born?

My mom have a bible but I don't have one of my own

To add, let's not forget the worst punishment they faced : Hebrews 3:8-19, Deuteronomy 1:26-46, Numbers 14:22-24,

Numbers 14:31-33*, read all of Numbers 14, Numbers 20:12, Acts 7:40-43, Hebrews 8:9,

Hopefully this is helpful & adds well to your discussion.

"Just a beginner at age 49"

I think of Jesus saying " you must be born again" John 3:5-8, 1 Peter 1:21-23,

Recently I realized for some of us, we had to learn to talk, walk, dress & behave differently. For me, I'm glad it was put into the "born again " perspective because it takes time & as we learn to be that "New" creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17, there is patience as with a newborn babe, maybe that's why we're referred to as children 1 John 3:1-7, keep reading.

Hopefully these are encouraging, insightful & useful.

Jude 1:3-25, note also Jude 1:22-23,

Note: this was a woman betrayer. Judges 14,15,

Proverbs 11:13, Micah 7:5,

Deuteronomy 7:3-6,

Yet GOD was doing a work Judges 14:4, Judges 15:20,

New Testament Ephesians 5:25,28,33, 1Peter 1:22, Colossians 3:19, 1 Corinthians 7:14,

Hopefully these are helpful in your search

Please read the books of: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,

2 Corinthians 6:2,

Hopefully this is helpful

Psalms 37, 1 Peter 4:12-13, James 1:2-5,

Just put a little chill down their spine, and say "Jesus is returning soonwatch the signs"

Blessed New Year to you!
