I think I agree with you. Does baptize mean full water immersion to you? Or a spiritual baptism but no water?

Not water baptism for water baptism is a "works" gospel! Verse 19 is parallel meaning to Mark 16:16 This line befuddles me. Are you saying if someone walks into a river and is baptized by immersion in water, (like Jesus did) they are sinning?

So is John 3:16 not enough? Is it necessary to have it's complement, Mark 16:16? Is it necessary to do what John 3:16 and Mark 16:16 says in order to be saved? I happen to believe it is.

You are right, they were baptized because they believed, not supposedly in order to believe. Nobody that I know has gotten baptized in order to believe (not sure how you got this idea)? John 3:16 says believe and you are saved. Which is a simple truth and a profound theology. Mark 16:16 says...

There are many definitions of "baptism". But the one that Christians are aquainted with the most is the idea of being submerged completely by water. Do you not believe that the waters of baptism are not = to the water of regeneration? To me they are =. The waters of baptism regenerates or...

So you believe with all your heart that John 3:16 is the simple gospel truth and profound theology, but not Mark 16:16 in the same bible?

Romans 10:9-10 introduces another requirement to being saved. You must 1) believe with all your heart and 2) confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus. So now we have 2 things we have to do after we believe. Are you going to ignore Mark 16:16 or rip it out of your bible? Or are you going to...

They were baptised because they believed not only in Jesus, but in Peter and Jesus's words of what to do after you believe. IOW it is not enough just to believe in Jesus and Jesus alone. You must learn what Jesus taught everyone to do after we believe in him. If you do not these things he...

Baptism alone will not save you, you are right about that. However, if you believe, but are not baptized, you will not be saved either, per Jesus Christ our Savior. For instance, the scripture in Mark says those who believe and are baptized shall be saved. Belief cannot stand alone, nor can...

Real silly statement. Tells me you are not serious about Jesus Christ and his doctrines of salvation.

I heard an interesting take on being saved. There are 2 components of being saved in heaven. 1) the act of being saved in heaven. 2) exactly where will you end up in heaven. The first one is an act of Jesus and his grace. You cannot earn your way into heaven, it is just given to you free of...

So is "multiplicity" the answer? Please explain?

Thank you for answering, Let me think about the answers and I will answer you.

Let me ask everyone a question: In John 17:21 it says: 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. If God the Father, and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are in 3 Persons in 1...

Although Jesus has always existed, he has not always existed as a flesh and bone and blood man. Jesus existed as a spirit only person until his incarnation. He was then begotten as all men are, and his spirit was incarnated into a body of flesh and bone produced by his mother Mary and his...

He is God. God the Son.

OK, is Jesus not the SON of God? Do you dislike BEGOTTEN because it is somehow related to a sexual event? As the scripture says, Adam begat Seth..... the only way that Adam begat Seth was with a sexual union with Eve. Seth was begotten by Adam by a sexual event with Eve. Is this why the...

I am confident in my studies, and my understanding of this important scripture. I was trying to find out if you know the answers to these questions.

‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation." (ESV) 1) who is the Amen, the faithful and true witness? 2) what do you think "the beginning of God's creation" means? 3) one of the definitions of "arche" is "the first", or "the beginning". How many...
