Water baptism. Part 1

From the very beginning in the bible, water separates or divides from something: Genesis 1: 6, 7.

When God set apart people for himself, he used water to separate you from something to bring you into something else.

In the old testament, Moses and the priest had to wash with water to be sanctified for service.

Want to show how many scriptures(not all) are showing how important baptism is!

Ezekiel 36: 24 - 27:

God takes the unclean, sprinkles clean water on them, and they shall be clean. Puts his Spirit in them and calls them his people!

New Testament:

John the Baptist baptized with water, also baptized Jesus that the scriptures would be fullfilled:

Matthew 3: 11, 16.

John 1: 26 - 33.

Luke 3: 16, 21.

Matthew 28:19:

Teach all nations to baptize in Jesus name.

Mark 16:16:

He that believes and is baptized shall be saved.

Luke 24: 47 - 49:

Beginning at Jerusalem, repentance and water baptism(remission of sins) preached in Jesus name among all nations.

John 3: 5 - 7:

Jesus taught you must be born again of water(baptism) and Spirit.

John 13:10:

Jesus washed his disciple's feet with water, calling them clean.

John 19:34:

Jesus dead on the cross; soldier pierced his side, out came BLOOD and WATER.

Note:

1 John 5: 6, 8:

Jesus came by WATER and BLOOD.

There are 3 that bear witness in the earth: Spirit, water, and blood. These 3 agree in one.

One what? - One new birth.

Continued next text.

Acts 2:38:

Baptized in water for remission of sins to be saved. Jews first, then gentiles.

Note:

2: 41:

3000 souls were baptized to be obedient.

Acts 8: 36 - 39:

Philip baptized eunuch in water.

Acts 9:18:

Apostle Paul is baptized.

Acts 10: 47, 48:

Peter baptized Cornelius and his family.

Acts 18: 8:

Chief ruler of synagogue believed on the Lord(many with him) got baptized.

Acts 19: 1 - 6:

Paul baptized certain disciples in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Brian,

Where is your Scripture to support that after Pentecost, Christians were to worship on the last day of the week rather than the first day of the week?

Adam,

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."Joh 5:24

If God grants the believer EVERLASTING LIFE, it's not like the petals on a daisy: He love me, He loves me not...

The TRUE believer will endure. Genuine faith evidences itself in persistence through even the worst of trials.

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Mat 24:13

Otherwise, we are working to either GET or KEEP our salvation, which is totally at odds with Scripture.

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Tit 3:5-7

Lamar,

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL." Gen 2:7

The Hebrew term for a being (nefesh, "being") is often translated "soul," but the word usually refers to the whole person. The phrase living soul (nefesh khayyah, "living being") is used of both animals and human beings.

However, in this instance, we see God who "BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL."

The Hebrew word for breath (neshamah, "breath") is used for God and for the life imparted to humans, not animals. Its usage in the Bible conveys more than a breathing living organism (nefesh khayyah). Whatever is given this breath of life becomes animated with the life from God,

1) has spiritual understanding ( Job 32:8), and

2) has a functioning conscience (Pro 20:27).

Psalms 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Psalms 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psalms 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psalms 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalms 34:14-15 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:

There is nowhere in the Bible that states Noah had triplets. There is Scripture to prove what Chris stated is correct:

" Genesis 7:6 "And Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters was opon the earth."

Genesis 11:10 "Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:".

A little bit of subtraction tells us that therefore Shem was born when Noah was in his 502nd year."

Knowing Noah began to beget sons in His 500th year. Japheth being the oldest son of Noah, born in/close to Noahs 500th year, then Shem in His 502nd year, and the birth of Ham, youngest, can not be traced. Just as Chris stated.

God Bless.

Adam Adam Adam!

Let me repeat, the dead in Christ will meet Christ Jesus in the sky on the day of judgment. They will not face a second judgment because when Christ Jesus was being judged and crucified, they were in Him.

When God fills a person with His Holy Spirit, their new nature becomes one that will live in obedience to His will. They are not able to live according to their old nature. Some received the Spirit in the womb like John the Baptist, some as children like King David and Joseph son of Jacob, some in their senior years like Moses and last but not least, some receive it on the last day on earth like the thief on the cross beside Jesus.

One can not receive the Holy Spirit on his or her own, God put His saving Spirit in those He choose to receive it and He choose them before the world began. This is done this way so no man or woman can boast themselves of salvation. All is God's and God's alone, Amen. God bless you

The Christian Sabbath is Saturday.

Not the first day of the week.

4th Commandment.

Hello everyone,

The answers that I seek are either by prayer, or from Scripture...

However, I write to you for your opinion; so please read the following:

My wife and I have been married for 27 years. She is 55 years of age and stricken with Alzheimers Dementia and now resides in a Personal Care Home.

I believe that it was manifested by my sins and tempting God and Satan to do their worst to me.

We had a real love after finally finding each other through Gods intervention.

In recent years; our relationship was suffering for many reasons, no blame to either of us but to both of us. I could not suffer my wife to leave her and I could not bear her to suffer the rejection.

So, in my mind; I thought that it would be easier on me and my wife to lose her spouse by death rather than by rejection. So I tempted God and Satan to do your worst.

Then it came to pass that I got an infection in my brain and tried to ride it out to death, but reasoning with myself that this may not bring death but rather life with an infliction, So I finally went to the hospital and the surgeon performed a cranial and then three months of intravenous antibiotics.

I did not fulfill the curse that I wished for.

Shortly thereafter, my wife was stricken with Alzheimers Dementia.

Now the ambiguous loss and the guilt that I feel because of my continued tempting of God and Satan to do your worst to me.

Well now; it has come to pass the worst curse, only my wife has become a victim of my sins.

I had recently become born again so that I could repent my sins and pray for my wife and ask God to perform a miracle and remove the demons from my wife and make whole again.

In conclusion;

I had a dream and a clear voice said to me "This is you cross to bear"

When I looked to the internet to find a meaning for this phrase, the first example displayed was;

"when a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimers, this is your cross to bear."

Are my prayers lost?

Hello, I don't believe anyone is judged until judgment day Link unless God makes a special exception. I'm not aware of any scriptures saying you're too bad or too good to await judgment day. God gives everyone multiple chances during this lifetime to follow Him.

The scripture support I have for this is: 1 Peter 1:13. It says we have hope for the end that grace is brought. It doesn't say we're already saved and can sin all we want and are already judged- I've heard a lot of people say that with no scriptures to back it up. The scripture seems to indicate we can be saved after Jesus returns and after we're judged. A lot of people claim they're saved now, that it's over and you have a hall pass to just kick back and do whatever. I don't believe it's over, nor that we have a hall pass for unlimited sin. 1 Peter 1:5 says "...salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." It sales salvation will be revealed in the 'last time', not now, or not after you respond to an altar call. I think those who become a Christian and genuinely follow Jesus can have confidence and assurance in salvation, however. But I just don't see the Bible saying that you're immediately judged and saved while living on earth, prior to judgment day. God bless.

Well, frog and toad discussed and acted on that one last cookie, from their example I post.

Accountability by brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus has a lot of value.

LIONel,

This information is not recorded in The Bible. We know that Noah started having son when he was 500 and he completed the ark when he was 600. I would think that he needed his sons to gather the materials and build the ark.

Can we trade places? :) God is an amazing designer.

Do you suppose this lady always followed Jesus after this, I would say yes. Why is it so hard for most of us who knew better but lived a life of sin, why is it so hard for us to believe that Jesus will forgive us, why is it so difficult for us to accept his forgiveness? I heard a preacher say once that those who have a hard time forgiving others also have a hard time accepting Gods forgiveness because we have a imperfect view of what God has done.

I am strengthened by the words Jesus said in Mathew 6. Encouraging us not to worry, for God cares for us and cast all our care on him

There is no where the Bible says Noah was 502 years old when his sons were born to him. Let's be careful not to add to God's word. God bless you

Yes, triplets at age 500. Japheth, then Shem and last, Ham. God bless you

Please continue to pray for Jeff and Tahnee Smith , I'm trying to get her back my family ,, my love for her is unconditional it breaks my heart that I can't even talk to her see her even here her voice,, just please pray that God will touch your heart somehow that you want to sit down and talk to me and reconcile our marriage,, everybody keeps telling me to move on but how do you do that on the person that you love so deeply that you're in love with so much still has your heart so how do you move on I can't I don't even think about it I wake up praying everyday I pray all day and a devil's working so much everyday in my life seems to get harder and harder and she gets farther & farther away so please keep us in your prayers pray somehow someway I caught open her eyes and she'll realize the past she's going down is your wrong and she needs to turn around and come home

Can we all stick to Gen. ch.3 please!

The dead in Christ are all judged already. There will not be a second judgment for them on the last day. This is why they rise first and meet with the Lord in the sky. They have already experienced the first death and will not face a second. Notice I said the dead in Christ, not all the dead. God bless you

It's a sad thing to know so many Christians, who've sat every Sunday morning in a church pew, can be so lost - being taught man's traditions rather than the true Word of God. They haven't been taught the Key of David is knowing satan comes first - BEFORE Christ, and telling everyone that he is going to rapture them out of here; we learn in Ezekiel ch.13 that God is AGAINST that - yet people grab on to it like a security blanket. Also, to know who the Kenite's are.

This will be my last post/reply, and I ask for no more posts/replies to me as I am not the one who is confused. I will keep all of you, though, in my prayers.

By the way, I do have a great Bible - it's called The King James (Version) Bible. It's the ONLY Bible I study with.

For, me what happened to Jesus Christ on this chapter also happened to many Christian, we are all tempted by the enemy, specially if you are really a follower of Christ. The enemy will show lots of worldly things like , power, money, popularity, etc. But Jesus shows courage even though He is hungry, He is ready to fight the evil using the word of God. If you cam see, the devil is using word of God as well to trick you but Jesus is ready for every trick that evil said.

At the end, Jesus is victorious.

thank you.

Hello Precious, Being Born again is having a heart changed from serving one's self to a heart that serves the Lord. This new life in Jesus Christ comes forth as we in our need looked forward in faith to Jesus for forgiveness. His Spirit will come forth to this new believer and dwell with you as a comforter.

When the time comes hold nothing back from the Lord.

My little pony equestria girl is frightened with the girls who are in the same school as her 4th class son and she has been taught by the school and she is a very good friend and she will be a good year out and she will be a good year out of her family for a couple of weeks and a half a week away.

The bible says in Romans 10:9,10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

I have a question about the word "Soul", pertaining to a living soul which He made man?... can you break it down what is a "Soul"? Can you reference with scriptures.
