Bible Discussion Thread

Precious friend, Adam: Is water baptism for us today, Under GRACE? You say about us who 'found an answer of NO,' According To The Scriptures:

"Finally, there's always someone trying to discredit baptism as if they have a force telling them its bad or as if they're afraid of it, or have some kind of personal animosity against it, or fear of public embarrassment? I think this reaction to a direct instruction from Jesus is a noteworthy reaction in itself.

Acts 2:38 - this verse is all I need to see in the Bible. People can use lots of words, can twist things, can use unlimited anecdotes, but none of it matters, because I read Acts 2:38

and I know exactly what it says and since I'm serious about following Jesus I was baptized."

Kind of an unfair statement, is it not, about those of us saved by GRACE Through faith?

1) Which rule of hermeneutics says to build God's Sound Doctrine on 'ONLY one verse'?

2) I believe Scripture says The Holy Spirit is our Blessed Teacher, not 'some force telling us it bad'.

3) We are not 'afraid of it, or have any animosity toward it' IF God Commands it to be practiced today, Under GRACE.

4) IF we studied ALL THIRTEEN Bible baptisms, prayerfully and Carefully, According To all of God's Bible "study" Rules: Link

how is it that we 'Cannot Conclude' That God ONLY 'Has ONE (Spiritual) Baptism' Today, Under GRACE, as per Ephesians 4:5, or should we 'practice Bad Math' and ADD water, men saying TWO, When God Says 'ONE'?

IF This ONE 'Spiritual' Baptism 1 Corinthians 12:13 Is God's OPERATION, THEN why is it not

Scriptural To 'believe' "God Says There is 'NO' water baptism" Today, Under HIS Pure GRACE?

We have Several More Questions for water adherents today, IF they wish to lovingly dialogue with us...

Please, Precious friends, Be Richly Encouraged In God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15 = Ends All 'Confusion'?

Grace, Peace, Mercy, And Love...

Hi , I don't feel the need to get into a big discussion about water baptism , I believe that Acts Ch 8 is written for my benefit and learning . Obedience and submission . Not words that too many people like today . Acts Ch 8 says it all as far as I'm concerned , if people wish to disregard it that's up to them . I don't need any more convincing .

Acts Ch 8 is all I need . I dont feel the need to talk about it as for me Acts Ch 8 says it all . If some people wish to ignore that chapter or discount it as invalid today then that's their business . Nothing can convince me that that chapter is not written for my learning and benefit .

Precious English Sacha, thanks so much for your input on This Important Matter. I wish you well on your own spiritual journey...

Hi ChrisE This is a situation where we talk about the spiritual water of the word but to drink it in not to dunk.LOL
