Understanding : Acts 2:38

[Grailhunter]

You can get water baptized to show repentance but water Isnt the grail you are hunting for

LOL But what do you mean? I am not the one that told John the Baptist to dunk them in water. I am not the one that told Christians in the Bible to have an urgency to find a water hole to be baptize in. Apparently they thought water meant something.

You talk about OSAS so maybe don't talk about that, Christians cannot be judged for their sins because Jesus took them died and paid for them, and rose without them. If sin is your problem there is a solution for sin and you need to see the cross to deal with that.

Well it is not only me, God has a problem with sin. As the scriptures I gave you proves. Want some more?

1st John:3:8: The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

Matthew 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

Mark 9:43
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

Revelation 21:8
But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Hebrews 10: 26-31
26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Jesus is the one that sent Paul not to baptize, Do you realize why Jesus said that?

Well it is not only me, God has a problem with sin. As the scriptures I gave you proves. Want some more?

Of course, sin is a very big problem, The question is are you a sinner? and what is the consequence of that, and ultimately what is the solution?

So if sin is the problem what is the only solution for sin? And it's not water.....

 

[Grailhunter]

Jesus is the one that sent Paul not to baptize, Do you realize why Jesus said that?

Yes I do…
Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. 1st Corinthians 1:13-15
So that no one would boast who they were baptized by because it did not matter who baptized them …. it was about the baptism in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Of course, sin is a very big problem, The question is are you a sinner? and what is the consequence of that, and ultimately what is the solution?

So if sin is the problem what is the only solution for sin? And it's not water.....

I can tell by what you are saying that you do not understand the big picture. Baptism is for the sins before you are saved….the whole born again thing. And like I said, I am not the one that came up with water baptism. John the Baptist, Christ, and the Apostles are ones that came up with it.

Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46

Some Christians develop or come into Christianity with this character of defiance. It will be the thing that sends you to Hell.

 

[Seethat]

So that no one would boast who they were baptized by because it did not matter who baptized them …. it was about the baptism in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Ok well...back to the start of the discussion when you said there is only one baptism and you put it on water....

Mathew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

What baptism is important in the context of the verse? and who baptizes with the Holy Ghost?

Baptism is for the sins before you are saved….the whole born again thing. And like I said, I am not the one that came up with water baptism. John the Baptist, Christ, and the Apostles are ones that came up with it.

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Jesus is the only sacrifice for sins, forever.... to oppose that would be the enemy part of the verse

Some Christians develop or come into Christianity with this character of defiance. It will be the thing that sends you to Hell.

What sends someone to hell is dying in unbelief because they are in defiance of the Cross of Christ and didn't believe in him and are rather judged for their sins. Christians are in Christ and are not defined as sinners they are called saints. So you don't get to decide who is a Christian and then how they are judged for sin, you would become an accuser of the brethren, you need to look at yourself. If you have the gift of righteousness and the gift of eternal life you wouldn't be worried about what sends you to Hell.

 

[Behold]

I nor the bible agrees with Once Saved Always Saved.

The Christian is only saved once.
This is to be forgiven all sin, and given a Spiritual Birth.
This is not repeated, because it has been accomplished.
It's God caused, and God maintained.

Philippians 1:6

John the Baptist

John the Baptist was dunking Jews, under the OLD TESTAMENT, covenant.

Jesus THE Christ is the Mediator of a NEW Covenant.

You should find out what that is, and you'll discover its not "water"... @Grailhunter

Both are important and involve the Deity.
But without a water baptism there is usually no Spirit baptism, unless there is away to relive Pentecost over again.

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Not according to the Bible. I have already gave you some of the scriptures on how many ways you can go to Hell.

Philippians 1:6

Hebrews 6:4-8
4: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6: If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7: For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8: But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

Hebrews 10:26-31
26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

You should find out what that is, and you'll discover its not "water"... @Grailhunter

Water baptism is the standard throughout the New Testament and beyond. Early Christian writings after the biblical period testify to this fact. Nothing in the Bible about stopping water baptism. No statement that directly says that “And we baptized them without water.” or "We are stopping water baptisms." But there is an urgency to find water to baptize with.

‘Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’ Acts 22:16

36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:36-39

Now after the biblical era there where discussions on different types of water baptisms for special circumstances and eventually the Catholic Church adopted sprinkling water baptisms and infant sprinkle water baptisms.

But no one is discussing waterless baptisms to replace water baptisms.

Now what is your intent? Describe what a waterless baptism would look like in a church.

I see your intent as defiance and an attempt to corrupt the Gospel and we know where that ends up…..But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
Galatians 1:8

Do you own a New Testament.. @Grailhunter ??

So, there is Acts 8.

You have Philip and a Eunuch.

The Eunuch, sounds like you....>He's "climbing walls", to get wet.......

What does Philip do? He explains the reality of SALVATiON to Him.........

He says...."yes you can be water baptized....IF YOU HAVE BELIEVED (In JESUS) WITH ALL YOUR HEART, FIRST"

SEE THAT?

The water comes AFTER the BELIEVING< and that is because God does not Save you with the city water supply.

God's salvation, is The Cross of CHRIST and you have to go there with your sins, and Give God your FAITH in CHRIST.

If you do that, Then GOD will SAVE YOU. through that CROSS OF CHRIST.. by "counting your Faith as Righteousness"...... and after God does, then find some water and have a good time,... but do not try to put the WATER, on the CROSS, as if the WATER is Salvation.

Its not......Its just WATER.

Only Christ can save us.
If anyone says that water baptism saves you, they are wrong.
If anyone says that repentance saves you, they are wrong.
If anyone says that the Bread and Wine ritual saves you, they are wrong.
They are what Christ and the Apostles told us to do…..
Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46
Why do you preach to not do what Christ said?

Exactly what do these things do and what is the connection between us and the Deity that performing these things cause, we may not understand until we get to Heaven. But if you do not do them you may not be there to ask.

 

[RedFan]

If anyone says that water baptism saves you, they are wrong.
If anyone says that repentance saves you, they are wrong.

Peter: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Grailhunter: "Wait a minute, Pete. Repentance and baptism are not salvific, so why even mention them? Just tell this crowd to believe in Christ, and the Holy Ghost will be gifted to them."

Peter: "My bad, Grailhunter. Hey everybody, scratch that last comment about repenting and baptism! They won't save you! Please consider them optional."

But you said

They only knew one kind of baptism.
It is all the same....

Now you say without a water baptism there is usually no Spirit baptism? seems like you make things up as you go

Good scripture......your point?

You said, "Baptism is for the sins", and "water washes them away" That is cult teaching, the Bible says without the shedding of blood there is no remission, I showed you a verse that shows that Jesus was the one sacrifice for sins for ever, You think you washed a few away and still have to deal with some, that's why you think you can go to hell because your water idea cant save you

Not according to the Bible. I have already gave you some of the scriptures on how many ways you can go to Hell.

But there is only one way to not go to Hell and I haven't seen you talk about that.

I should say that as far as Christianity water baptism is all they knew.

But there is only one way to not go to Hell and I haven't seen you talk about that.

Ya it was called the Way.
Faith in Christ
Repentance
Baptism
The Bread and Wine Ritual
Help those that need help
And Be good and do good.

 

[Fred J]

The 11 disciple, including Matthias the chosen 12th, have firsthand witnessing and discipleship to the repentance doctrine of John the Baptist. And furthermore the Kingdom of GOD doctrine of Lord Jesus Christ from the sermon on the mount. There were many other things Jesus wanted to share with them but they were not able to grasp them all in His short time with them.

Therefore after He ascended, the Comforter/Helper the Holy Ghost was imparted in them. Among other things, He is to lead them into the full truth, from what they've been already disciple in. To a certain extend they understood and by the impartation of the fiery tongues, they were able to minister to the mass from the house top. About 3.000 souls were added unto them, and subject to repentance and baptism of water for the remission of sins, and they shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, were ministered unto them (verse 38).

As we know after John the Baptist, Jesus and His disciples did continue exactly and were proclaiming repentance and baptizing people with water for the remission of sins. And documented, Apostle Peter and Philip did follow this legacy in yet baptizing souls with water, apart from them even receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 8:36/10:47&48)

Acts 2:
38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 16:
18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

And Apostle Peter did loose on earth and is already loosed in Heaven.

Acts 10:
47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. .....................

Was Apostle Paul himself baptized with water?

Acts 9:
18. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

To conclude, water baptism is carried out for the remission of sins, period

As to my understanding, the Holy Ghost lead Apostle Paul to the extended full truth of the Gospel, since he's a minister to the Gentiles and likewise Jews. And also to be included with the 12 Apostles' testimonies, to make up the New Testament for HIS church.

For the record, is there any supporting verse that Apostle Paul mentioned that water baptism is no longer required?

Shalom

Seriously, one's opinion and believe??

For the record according to grace and truth of the New Testament:

First, water baptism did continue till the books of Acts even after the ascension of Jesus to Heaven. And, Peter the 'overseer' of Christ's church himself commanded of it for new believers. And especially documented for new believers Cornelius and his family and other Gentiles there in his house.

Second, Paul did not mention that water baptism is no longer required. Even though his added version to the Gospel was, believe and one have gone from dead to life.

Would prove that 'first' and 'second' do go hand in hand, and there's no contradiction between them. On the account of the second part, Cornelius and his household believed and already have gone from dead to life. Even then too, upon both receiving visions, reluctant Peter was instructed to go to the already renewed and clean house of Cornelius.

There he encountered the moment where Gentiles were also receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost like them Jews. Then finally according to the 'first' part, he spoke up saying whether there's any man forbid water that these Gentiles should not be baptized. And he commanded them all to be baptized with water, 'for the remission of sins' (Acts 2:38). Meaning that, 'our transgressions have been sent away'.

Am done with this tread, shalom

 

[gpresdo]

Acts 2;38 clearly says that water baptism is mandated. Christ says it is for sin cleansing. Oodles and goodles of references mandating water baptism as part of the sin cleansing process to become...born again.
John 3;5
Peter 3;21
Acts 22;16
Matt 3;14
et al.

Scriptures says ..in the end times there will be great deceptions. We are there. What could be a greater deception than being led to loss of one's eternal salvation.
We must read our Bible and stay focused on God's commandments... not new age religion teachings.

41. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42. And they continued steadfastly in the Apostle's doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking the bread, and in prayers.

Shortsightedly these 'imposters' and 'counterfeits' among us claim, Peter did not know the Gospel, were not baptized himself, and Paul later straightened Peter with the true Gospel.

So incompetent Jesus is, after all for three years disciple them an incomplete Gospel? And before His ascension, He commissioned them even to take it to the ends of the earth and baptize them? Even already given to Peter the key to the Kingdom, to allow and disallow, until churches were already established? Then Jesus sends Paul to straighten up His own mess made with the 12 initially?

In regards Peter himself is not water baptized, it is not true, for it is just not documented. What if i were to say in my spirit, Peter and Andrew were already water baptized by John the Baptist before Jesus? Since then Andrew became John's follower and Peter went back fishing.

When John the Baptist introduced Jesus,, immediately two followers of his followed Jesus. And one of them is Andrew, who first finds his brother Simon Peter to inform they've found the Messiah.

Peter, Harry or Bob...does not change God's word. It says what it says. Water Baptism is required for sin cleansing.

Peter, Harry or Bob...does not change God's word. It says what it says. Water Baptism is required for sin cleansing.

Acts 10:
44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify GOD. Then answered Peter,
47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Matthew 16:
17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My FATHER which is in Heaven.
18. And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven."

In the presence of the Jews came with Peter who were astonished witnessing the truth. And with no man to forbid the Gentiles also water baptism, Peter commanded to 'loose' such on earth, hence likewise such is 'loosed' in Heaven, period

 

[Davy]

Reader,

There are some who teach that the "Gospel" is : Acts 2:38.

Now, if you are familiar with Christianity, then you know that everyone is invited to become a Christian......Jews, Gentiles,.........
>"The World"... = John 3:16.

So, one of the things we find out about the NT, is... = if an Apostle does not know something then they can't teach it until they know it.

And Peter, who was the Act 2:38 preacher, did not understand the Gospel of the Grace of God, until Acts 15. = Not until He was taught it by Paul.

Now, How is all that relevant to Paul? and Acts 2:38

....

That's mostly ideas from men's doctrines.

Apostle Peter is shown having understood that Salvation was also to the believing Gentiles per the vision of unclean animals which God showed him in Acts 10.

Let's see what The Word of God actually says...

Acts 10:10-18
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter; kill, and eat."
14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean."
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
KJV

Acts 10:21-22
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, "Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?"
22 And they said, "Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."
KJV

Cornelius, a Gentile, was sent an angel by God to find Apostle Peter, a Jew, to come and speak with him and Cornelius' people gathered at his house.

Acts 10:24-28
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

28 And he said unto them, "Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean."
KJV

By that time, Peter had come to understand the vision of the blanket of unclean animals, and to not call common what God had cleansed. Peter understood that vision was about Salvation going to the Gentiles also, the unclean animals God using as a symbol for the Gentiles.

It was then that Peter understood that Christ's Salvation would also go to the Gentiles.

Thus Apostle Peter did not learn about The Gospel being also for the Gentiles from Apostle Paul. Peter learned about it directly by vision from GOD.

And not from Jesus's parting earthly words (Matt. 28:19-20)? What, was he deaf?
