You would walk around mountains of grace in order to find water.
I understand they passed through the Red Sea (water) yet they remained dry. So you are saying that the Israelites were water baptized into the body of Moses?
No, they were baptized by the sea and the cloud. it TYPIFIED water AND Spirit unified to save them.You would walk around mountains of grace in order to find water.
What should Acts 2:38 have actually said in your opinion?
I already have shared this with you multiple times. Need a refresher? See post #101 from the link below:
Dan says..."Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins,"
Nope, you are adopted and Jesus was conceived(begotten) of God.
In Acts 2:38, "for the remission of sins" does not refer back to both clauses, "you all repent" and "each one of you be baptized," but refers only to the first. Peter is saying "repent unto the remission of your sins," the same as in Acts 3:19. The clause "each one of you be baptized" is parenthetical. This is exactly what Acts 3:19 teaches except that Peter omits the parenthesis.
Try this Dan, without deceptive commentary.....
What deceptive commentary?
Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptized will be saved (general cases without making a qualification for the unusual case of someone who believes but is not baptized) but he who does not believe will be condemned. The omission of baptized with "does not believe" shows that Jesus does not make baptism absolutely necessary for salvation. Condemnation rests on unbelief and not on a lack of baptism, so salvation rests on belief. *NOWHERE does the Bible say "baptized or condemned."
Already explained in posts #101 and #415. Take off your Campbellism bifocals and read those posts again.
Amen! Now what happened to baptism in verse 43? It's non existent. These Gentiles believed, received the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit (and spoke in tongues which a spiritual gift that is ONLY for the body of Christ - 1 Corinthians 12) all BEFORE water baptism. (Acts 10:43-47) So when are you going to stop fighting against the truth?
Notice how your blinders did not see Jesus say "believeth and is baptized"....
Notice how your blinders kept you from reading the second half of the verse ..but he who does not believe will be condemned and your blinders also kept you from reading what Jesus said in John 3:15,16,18; 5:24; 6:29,40,47; 11:25,26. This is what happens through your flawed method of hermeneutics, which is isolate (a pet verse) build (doctrine on it) and ignore (the rest).
Notice how your blinders did not see "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.." in Acts 3:19 (with no mention of baptism) or "..everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins" (with no mention of baptism) so we can see how your blinders ultimately kept you from properly harmonizing scripture with scripture and coming to understand that faith in Jesus Christ "implied in genuine repentance" (rather than water baptism) brings the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 5:31; 10:43-47; 11:17,18; 15:8,9; 16:31; 26:18)
Your blinders only allow you to isolate your pet verses, build your biased doctrine on them and then you block out the rest.
Try again, Dan.
