    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    Water is part of baptism in normal circumstances so it's okay to say "water baptism" and there used to be mikvahs in Judaism and they are called baptisms in English bible translations so I guess it is okay to say "other baptisms" however holy scripture says that for us "There is one body, and...

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    That is probably close to the truth. Being too honest in chat forums leads to blistering hot debates.

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    It would be ironic. For my part I know that unity is not a reality. There are hundreds of denominations and tens of thousands of independent non-denominational groups and that would not be so if unity existed. I guess that disunity is one thing we all have in common too, though it is not a good...

    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Today I was in church doing accounts and counting money but because I spend the morning with a friend who is eager to learn and was curious about why so many Italians are Jehovah’s witnesses here in Perth I brought along a large print NEW WORLD TRANSLATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES for her to see...

    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    That is the focus of the verse. Baptism is instrumental but the focus is salvation by grace mercifully shown to people who had no right to claim it.

    I only occasionally take to a "confessional". I said and meant confess their sins and that is confessing to God with or without a confessional. God bless your cotton socks :)

    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    Interesting sequence of events isn't it. They were the first gentiles to believe and be baptised. God had to work hard to get Peter to visit them and I guess he had to work hard to get Peter and his Jewish-Christian friends to accept the gentiles. My guess is that is why they were given the...

    The Ministry of the Holy Spirit

    I am already baptised so your water gun cannot harm me, my baptism is like a shield of steel (using best Batfink voice). :P

    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    I know of an example in Acts chapter nineteen where people who were baptised by John had not received the Holy Spirit and then Paul preached to them, they were baptised and received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. Is that the one you're referring to? Acts 19:1-10 Now it happened that...

    The washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit

    Excellent that you found John Gill's commentary. I disagree with his analysis of Titus 3:5. I prefer the one given by Barnes and also the one in the Cambridge Bible Commentary.
