You need to really teach what you think for all to see, rather than talk about passages.
Break them down sentence by sentence with your redefinitions for us.
The book of Rev is definitely written in chronological order.
The 7 churches are in the first 3 chapters and the end of the world/new world in the last 3.
All leads up accordingly.
Eventually.
Remember, the day is preceded by this verse...
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Get the hint?
Was the name of Jesus invoked over you upon immersion or Father/Son/Spirit?
I am not oneness.
I wouldn't call the folks that obey Acts 2:38 a cult when you refuse it altogether.
Thou art the man.
They are more honest than the RCC daughters(trins) that hate water baptism, mocking(by debunking) Mark16:16, Acts 2:38, 8:16 and 19:5.
Posters are expected to stay on topic in discussions.
How does water baptism create in us a good conscience toward God? It does not! That's why the verse says it is not by water which would only put away filth of the flesh. "Ye must be born again"! This is baptism of the Holy Spirit that comes from Christ, not from outward dunking, or sprinkling of water outwardly. The cleansing MUST be inward through the Spirit of Christ in us.
This shows epic lack of biblical understanding!!!
How do you reconcile the need to be baptized in water to be saved with what is written in chapter 16? Here is taught one must believe on the Lord Jesus Christ BEFORE being baptized with water. How can that be if you are correct and one must be baptized in water for salvation? If you would stop trying to force your doctrine based upon one verse from Scripture, but instead allow the whole of Scripture to rightly divide, who knows you might come to correctly understand?
Acts 16:30-34 (KJV) And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Here's another passage from Scripture that you MUST reconcile or be accused of forcing contradiction into the Sacred Scripture. Notice the eunuch first believed then Philip baptized him with water. Even telling him he could only be water baptized if he already believed with all his heart.
Acts 8:35-38 (KJV) Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Here's another passage proving faith/believing comes before being baptized in water, because it is not water baptism that saves.
Acts 16:14-15 (KJV) And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
Your teaching salvation through physical water is a contradictory train-wreck!
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
As per...
See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water,...
