Mark 16:16~"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

[Truther]

You're being a real smart-alec, aren't you? No, He told him that not just physical birth would save him, which by the way, many Jews thought was the case. The sheer fact that they were physically born a Jew was all they needed for salvation - so they thought.
But Jesus told them that they needed not only a physical birth but also a spiritual birth.
Do you understand it now, or do you need a new Christian to explain it to you?

Not at all, you guys teach that Jesus taught that a man must break his mother’s water sac and slosh in her amniotic fluid to be saved,…including being born of the spirit. This is wacko doctrine. I’ve heard hundreds of people run around saying that and I’m sure you would agree with them.

You teach that Jesus said you must be born of a woman’s water and the Holy Spirit. This is absurd.

 

[Truther]

Yes

Anything else

I hold it to be a command to obey

Then why are you not baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ as Peter commanded in Acts chapter 10? And why have you not been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ per Acts 10?
You are fighting this command to the nail.

 

[Truther]

No, we don't, we teach what's in the Bible, not what we want it to say.

I trow not

 

[TomL]

Then why are you not baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ as Peter commanded in Acts chapter 10? And why have you not been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ per Acts 10?
You are fighting this command to the nail.

Are you trying to mske hay out baptism in thr name of the lord rather than in the name of thr Father son and holy Spirit

I am not fighting any command. only you theology which insists you cannot be ssved without it

 

[TomL]

You are by admission, saying that you would not obey Peter’s command and be baptized in the name of Jesus per Acts 10. The evidence is you have not been baptized in the name of Jesus. Which is obvious that you would tell others don’t worry about it and ignore Peter. That’s what I call fraudulent Christianity.

And I call your claim BS. I support being water baptised and was

It's your theology I oppose

 

[Doug Brents]

Yes absolutely

You believe that all Scripture is inspired by God, and you believe that there are no errors or conflicts in Scripture.

Are there any passages of Scripture that are more inspired, more holy, more God's Word than others? Or are all passages of Scripture equal in weight, power, and truth?

 

[Doug Brents]

Proof of your error

tongues was the initial sign someone had been indwelt by the Spirit in those early days of the building of the church

No, speaking in tongues was not a sign that someone was indwelt by the Holy Spirit. In the case of Cornelius, it was not a sign to the Gentiles at all. It was a sign to the Jews that the Gentiles were to be accepted into the Church; that they also were being called out of the world.

Your handling of the gentiles reception of the spirit is contrary to what we see above and below

Note also the gentiles received the same gift as had the Jews

Acts 15:7–9 (ESV) — 7 And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9 and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.

Acts 11:15–17 (ESV) — 15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”

You have affirmed the Jews received the indwelling. The gentiles received the same

The Jews did not receive the indwelling when the Holy Spirit fell on them on Pentecost. They already had the indwelling from when Jesus breathed on them back in John 20:22. Then on Pentecost (the beginning) the Holy Spirit fell on them in tongues and praise. The same thing happened to the Gentiles in reverse: the Holy Spirit fell on them in tongues and praise, and then they received the indwelling when they were baptized.

Acts 10:44–48 (ESV) — 44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47 “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

Notice that the Holy Spirit fell ON all who heard the Word. And why were the Jews amazed? Because the Holy Spirit had been poured out EVEN ON THE GENTILES. It was not that the Holy Spirit fell on them, but that they were Gentiles that astonished the Jews. And Peter's response was to offer salvation to the Gentiles through baptism into Christ since clearly they were to be accepted by God into the Church.

[Doug Brents]

Sorry, the gentiles were baptized en the Spirit

Acts 11:16 (ESV) — 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

and that is saving

No, being baptized by the Holy Spirit (in tongues of flame as on Pentecost) is not salvation. That has only happened twice in all of world history, so if that is how people are saved, then the only people saved are those in the room on Pentecost, and those in the room at Cornelius' house.

John 14:16–17 (ESV) — 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

This is not the same as the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. This is the indwelling that every person in Christ received when they were baptized into Christ.

This promise Christ received from the father speaks of indwelling and is termed the baptism en the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:4–5 (ESV) — 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

The promised Holy Spirit is granted at the baptism en the Holy Spirit

Upon faith the promised Holy Spirit seals one in Christ indwelling him

Eph 1:13In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit

Being sealed in Christ is of course salvatory

And we receive the indwelling of the Spirit when we are immersed in water which is where He removes our sins and unites us with the death and resurrection of Jesus (Col 2:11-14, Rom 6:1-7, 1 Pet 3:21).

 

[Truther]

Sorry your view is refuted

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER

Acts 1:4–5 (ESV) — 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”


Jesus received it from the father having stated

John 14:15–17 (KJV 1900) — 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

This giving of the Spirit refers to having the spirit indwelling you

Peter affirms Jesus had received of the father the promised Holy Spirit

Acts 2:33 (KJV 1900) — 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.


So what do we have here

Jesus prays to the father for the giving of the Holy Spirit

Peter affirmed the promise of the father was given in events of Acts 2

Acts 2:1–4 (KJV 1900) — 1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

You will see the promise of the Father was accompanied by the speaking in tongues

The gentiles likerwise spoke in tongues and received the same gift

Acts 10:44–47 (KJV 1900) — 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?

Acts 11:15–17 (KJV 1900) — 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?







b




He who is baptised en the spirit has received the promise of the father



Acts 2:33 (ESV) — 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

 

[TomL]

Eph 4:4-6
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."

In context

Ephesians 4:4–5 (KJV 1900) — 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

it is the baptism en the holy Ghost

refering to

1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV 1900) — 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.

As Hebrews 6:2 mention the doctrines of baptisms plural

Water is not a part of the gospel

1 Corinthians 15 (KJV 1900) — 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. 33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Yes

And surprise by a church of Christ

And I knew no better.

I take it that you were not and still refuse to be baptized in the name of the Lord per Acts 10's command.

Tough cookie.

You take it wrong

Again unless you want to argue over baptismal formula and a verse I believe you misunderstand

In the name of the lord is not a formula but a statement it is by his authority

As he stated

Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV 1900) — 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

So there are no Scriptures that are more holy, or authoritative than any other Scripture?
Then why do you accept some Scripture and refuse other Scripture?

If in one verse God says, "He who believes will be saved" (John 3:16). But in another verse He says, "He who repents will be saved" (Acts 3:19). Why do you accept the first and reject the second? And still again, God says, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16), He who repents and is baptized will be saved" (Acts 2:8), yet you reject this out of hand as blasphemy, because you believe more in Eph 2:8-9 than you do in Mark or Acts.

If you accept all Scripture as having the same authority, and the same importance, then you cannot just sweep these passages away because they do not agree with your preconceptions. You must modify your preconceived doctrine to accept and encompass these passages as well as all other passages that speak on salvation.
