Sadly Stephen, I can see that you are throughly indoctrinated into Roman Catholicism and are most likely, unteachable. :( As I already previously explained, baptism in water is not the cause of receiving the Holy Spirit or being renewed, reborn as children of God. You have been drinking the...
The other day my wife and I were driving down the interstate and we noticed an 18 wheeler in fromt of us swerving all over the place. As we went around him we noticed that he was on his cell phone, probably texting. o_O On my mail route, I notice about once a week someone at a traffic light in...
In John 4:10, Jesus said, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." In John 4:14, Jesus said, "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I...
It certainly is not "plain ordinary H20" found in a baptismal pool that cleanses our hearts from sin and regenerates the new believer. Jesus mentions "living water" in John 4:10, 14; 7:37-39 and in John 7:38-39, we read - "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will...
I’m at work waiting for the clerks to separate all the packages so I can go deliver the mail in bitterly cold weather. Only 1 year and 4 months to go for retirement!
Spirit baptism is the reality and water baptism is the picture of the reality. Neither ceremonials washings in the OT cleansed the heart from sin at the spiritual level and neither does water baptism in the NT. Spirit baptism and water baptism are "two distinct" baptisms. In Acts 10:43-47, we...
Now that I'm older I don't sleep as well as I used to. When I was young, I could sleep 8 hours or more no problem. Now I'm lucky if I get 6-7 hours of sleep.
1 Corinthians 12:13 clearly states - For by one Spirit (not by H20) we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. In regards to "drink" and "water" see John 4:10,14; 7:37-39. There is a clear distinction between...
1 Corinthians 12:13 seems very clear to me - "baptized by one Spirit into one body" in connection with Ephesians 4:5 - "..one baptism."
In regards to water baptism, in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13, we read - Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of...
I don't believe that Judas Iscariot was saved and lost his salvation. Judas Iscariot was an unbelieving, unclean devil who betrayed Jesus.
(John 6:64-71; 13:10-11)
In James 2:14, we read of one who says/claims he has faith but has no works (to validate his claim). That is not genuine faith, but a bare profession of faith. So when James asks, "Can that faith save him?" he is saying nothing against genuine faith, but only against an empty profession of...
