lol,Nicodemus surly was wrestling with understanding the two things Jesus explained...
Paul said he wasn't sent to baptize but to preach the Gospel. 1 Cor 1:17
I do know that. So what does Israel being DRY baptized UNTO Moses have to do with Israel's water baptism for the remissions of sins?It means the time had not yet been fulfilled for Christ to present the kingdom of God.
In Mark 1:15 Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
As you know Christ's death and resurrection was planned from the beginning.
Please quote scripture to support all of your claims.The Cloud was Christ, a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
It was he who baptized Israel in the sea.
....without works?I have never claimed that. On the contrary, I have claimed Abel was saved by grace.
what do you think Appolos was told seeing he only understood the baptism of John and in Acts 19:2 KJV why is Paul so concerned as to if they had received the Holy Ghost?
So you're one of the long list of LAIRS here on TOL. That's a very bad club you've joined.You regard 50% of Paul's scriptures 100% of the time.
Then you're blind, as I quote from throughout the Bible.Let's be clear: I've never seen you Madists ever quote a single scripture outside of Paul's, and I've never seen much more than the same parts of Paul's letters emphasized.
Your "actual one" is a myth and a figment of your own vivid imagination. :yawn:You all are like Catholics who say that Jesus is their inspiration for contrition but never lay off Mary
There's only one version of history- the actual one :wave2:

One point of FACT is that, TODAY in the dispensation of the grace of God, Paul's epistles are where you will find it. But you prefer your "orthodoxy" which was much like the orthodoxy in Christ's day: you're a self-righteous teacher of the law.
Your "actual one" is a myth and a figment of your own vivid imagination. :yawn:
I have prayed for you Jerry and wondered how you were doing for months,I am glad to see you back. I share something in common I finished my 2nd full week of chemo/rad. today, fatigue is much more than I expected but not so much to miss welcoming you back,,,
Jesus was baptized, and EVERY Apostle and follower of Jesus was water baptized after the DBR.
Can you produce even ONE verse that says water baptism was done away with or stopped from SCRIPTURE ?
All nonsense.You all do not keep Paul's teachings. Paul was more strict than the others, particularly when it came to marriage, gender roles, headship, and a myriad of disciplines. And yet, proper churches are more in keeping with it despite not being 'Paul only'.
In fact the only book that really matters to you all is Acts- you then just cherry pick what you want out of Paul.
Is this your typical "Christian" response.You're an idiot, plain and simple.
Again, you're an idiot, plain and simple
"Inherit grace"? You rabid religious zealots say the funniest things.Your 19th Century heresy is nothing more than a 1st World Gentile's convenience of not actually having to be part of real Christianity to inherit grace. You fully participate in Babylon and think that you're going to be whisked away, and that's straight up nonsense.
Again, for this dispensation there is but ONE BAPTISM. And anyone with the least bit of spiritual discernment knows that this is that ONE BAPTISM:
"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" (1 Cor.12:13).
This is not rocket science and if you think that the baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 is not the ONE BAPTISM and water baptism is the ONE BAPTISM then I can only conclude that you cannot understand the things of the Spirit.
It's safe to say that Priscilla and Aquila, co-workers with Paul, re-baptized Apollos and he was filled with the Holy Ghost.
That is exactly the way Paul handled 12 other disciples who believed the same thing as Apollos.
As to whyaul stated in Rom 8:9 that "if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his.
Those are Paul's words, not mine

Thanks!
Act 19:4
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Act 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
They were baptized THEN Paul LAID HIS HAND ON THEM then they received the Holy Spirit.
