The more important aspect is that water baptism (Gk. baptizo) should be done as inferred by the Greek word, i.e. the person is to be dipped/submerged. Though for various reasons of age or infirmity, a symbolic sprinkling could be done I suppose. And it is preferable to be performed in public, at least most important in those early days, as it becomes both a personal witness ( 1 Peter 3:21) & a public witness, as the baptizee was then marked out as a Christian. Nowadays, it's common to perform it in the privacy & safety of a Church building, but in the early days, there were implications when one changed from one's religion to a new relationship with the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. ( James 4:8-10)
In 1 John 2:1, Jesus is our advocate, much like a defense attorney, defending us before the throne of God against the condemnation.
Read Psalm 51 to see that David was in a situation where his sin separated him from God. He could not bear it so he confessed and pleaded with the LORD to restore the joy of his salvation.
The prodigal son in Luke 15 deliberately departed from the way until his abject misery brought him to his senses. He was then welcomed back heartily by his loving father.
Satan the accuser would celebrate your being so overcome with despair that you become swallowed up in it and give it up.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ( 1 John 1:9)
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. ( John 6:37)
Looking into your question I found the answer for you. At the bottom of the "trivia quiz" it gives an explanation of the answer. One leaper sought Him out in Luke 5:12 He healed. Then the ten in Luke 17:12 or 17. All the Bibles have the same numbers as I checked. So the answer eleven is correct.
Hope this helps.
God Bless.
But after she had the surgery; the pain was changed to joy. You'll be there to dress the wound and help her take baths. Pray and ask the Lord to give her a double portion of healing recovery and thank Him every day afterwards. I pray your faith also will be energized. Let me know how it goes. Medicare should pay all of the cost. You might have to cut a shoe toe out for going outside.
Proverbs 3:5 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. However, in real life, most of us have a hard time trusting God completely at one time or another. We need to trust God with His ways and His timing for our life. We need to Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
In order to trust God completely, we need to make Him the Lord of our life. But many of us do not want to give control of our lives over to another. At the first sign of any difficulty, we think that God must not love us because He is permitting this difficulty to happen. We need to remember that we do not see the big picture as God does. God may be waiting for a part of the picture to develop that is not yet ready and that includes us. Help us to trust you.
We need to keep trusting God regardless of what is happening around us, even if things seem hopeless. We need to keep our eyes on Him rather than on our problem. He will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him: because he trust in Him ( Isaiah 26:3). God is very aware of each thing that is happening to you. We need to turn control completely over to our heavenly Father and stop trying to figure out a solution ourselves.

Lord Jesus, please help David to take this step towards You, and to be a part of the body of Christ. We all need each other and we need our brother, David.

I will be looking for you :)
sweet child and constantly needs hugs throughout the day. Several times she has gone into fits like an animal biting pillows and on all fours. That was a week ago but we've been praying and putting blessed oil on her and putting her name on prayer lists. We don't know what type of spirit would make her do that but we it can be rebuked and cast out in JESUS NAME!!!. We're praying that she doesn't have another episode like that again. Only GOD knows what happened to this little girl before she adopted by my niece. We're seeking a prayer circle from saints everywhere for Isabella. Thank you in
advance for praying for ISABELLA. GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN EVERY WAY IN JESUS NAME!!!
Fact is that all the disciples traveled with Jesus and witnessed the same events. That is why they are called, 'Harmony of the Gospels."
Four men saw the same things, and wrote of what they saw: with their perceptions and in their own words.
There may have been time differences of exactly when they wrote of what they witnessed. Every one of them were killed and I'm sure trustworthy people carried the manuscripts.
Apostle Paul wrote much of the New Testament. John who was imprisoned on Patmos, wrote the Book of Revelation; lived a long life and died in his bed.
I'm not the right person to debate who, what and when, with.
I believe the Bible as it is. Why? Because my salvation experience was all supernatural. It was a visual vision, but it was also in the present as I received deliverance on the spot. The Holy Spirit walked me through Acts 19:19, since I had been in the occult. I saw someone from heaven, and I got to see hell too.
I refuse to dispute validity! It's all real.
Ask yourselves why are you investigating the Son of God?
Faith believes what Jesus said. You can't please God without faith? If we think we can interrogate God; just as we interrogated our own President (for 4 years!!) and dig up some dirt? you are in danger of seeing hell too. I do not recommend it.
It is total darkness, no light. It's twisting tree roots, snakes worms and worse! It smells of rotting flesh; but it's empty. It is Unclean, filthy, polluted. Quiet. No sound yet.
After this many of his disciples TURNED BACK and no longer walked with him
(Jesus).
HEBREWS 10
How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
Hosea 14:4
I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.
Revelation 3:16
So, because you are lukewarm, and NEITHER hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
2 Timothy 2:18
Who have SWERVED from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
Book of Jude 1:
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Matthew 10:33
But whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, NOT TO DEAL WITH SIN, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction
Hebrews 3:12
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
Galatians 1:8-9
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I SAY AGAIN, If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you (first) received, let him be accursed.
If you have doubts about the validity of Gods written WORD... you need to search this out yourself.
Google study how the Bible was assembled and approved as the inerrant Word of God.
Right now, almost all of the ancient scrolls of the Bible are under protection in Israel. Being compared to what is in our Bibles now. Definitely take a look at that.
Listen to what Jesus says about this:
2 And he (Jesus) taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
You are one of these. Figure out which one?
We are living in the beginning of The Great Falling Away. Many people are just going to wander off and not come back. They worship this world system that does not support Faith in anything.
There is "wander off".... and there is outright APOSTASY. The Bible in Isaiah says: COME LET US REASON TOGETHER...
I'm not going to argue myself blue to convince you that Jesus is who He says He is. You need to consider Romans 1:20 and 2:1.
If we wander away after these people who express doubts as to the validity of the Bible, then your roots are non-existent or drying up. Shaken by the wind.
Have faith in God and His Word; which is Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Examine yourselves.
Mishael
Will someone please explain? TIA
I suggest you do a Google study. Council of Nicea.
Or perhaps Chris will comment on this later.
