You need to be set free of this spirit of religion that is binding you and preventing you from going forward into the truth. Anybody join me in prayer?

Religion is what man owes to God for creating him!

To Christ for redeeming him in his blood!

to the HS for sanctifying us in the grace of His sacraments!

1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
These verses are speaking of believers' baptism not that of infant or children without understandin but brought by their parents as a ritual.

Still have n the context of Luke!

Lk 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

it refers to Salvation!
Mary found our savior and our salvation!

Context means things.

ok context

Context of Jn 3:5 “born again”

John1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; (John prepared the way by baptism)

John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. (Old covenant prefiguring of baptism, purification from sin)(His disciples believed because the ever Virgin mother of God interceded Jn 2:11)

John3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Baptism)

John 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.(Baptism / water)

John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John.

Born again means Baptismal regeneration!


baptismal regeneration!
A new creation in Christ! 2 cor 5:17
Jn 1 JTB prepared the way by baptism!
Jn 2 the waters of purification are OT prefigurement of baptism!
Jn 3:5 born again means baptism
Jn 3:22 they immediately went to the river! Not to preach “accept Christ as personal lord and savior”
But to BAPTIZE!!!

No, not by baptism but only by repentance and turning away from sin and actually inviting Jesus to take over our lives.
Are you referring to a social club or initiation into the new covenant body of Christ?

All people are included

Lk 2:10-11

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Would you say our salvation has nothing to do with and infant?

Lk 2:27-30

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
 

Eternally Grateful

Excuse me sir. But Jesus did not mention baptism to nicodemus.

He told nicodemus how to be born again, and who would be born again Water baptism had no part in either.

Those verses speak of the Holy Spirit baptising us literally into one body and into Christ. Its sad how he takes this to mean water baptism
I have never encountered a worse case of RCC brainwashing. I feel like saying there's no hope for him but all things are possible with God.

That cult that calls itself the one true church will have a lot to answer for.

Look @theefaith believe what you want but we choose to believe otherwise and according to the true meaning of the scriptures.
