Jamie needs to desperately learn how to Rightly Divide the written word of God. She is totally confused.
The ONLY baptism for today in this Dispensation of Grace is when the Holy Spirit baptizes someone into the "Body of Christ." It has NOTHING to do with water baptism. It is a Spiritual procedure.
Yep.
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 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.
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

No, would be artful dodger- you are the one dodging the issue of context.
Get outta dodge, son - get in the Truth.
In short, quit being so...dodgy.

Isa 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The Holy Spirit works through humans in baptizing in water expressing faith in Jesus' death, burial, resurrection.
If you haven't been baptized in water then you haven't died to walk in newness of life with Christ.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
I spent a little time looking in Welch and Allen without much luck. I gave all my Oscar Baker books to my nephew a couple of weeks ago and haven't replaced them yet - there's probably something in one of those. I would imagine though, that they will come up with the same names we and Steko did. In the grave (hades) of my ancient memory, I seem to remember that being the case.I asked because you have greatly impressed me over time as being VERY knowledgeable in the Acts 28 Perspective (A28D)
I take it A28D either does not have a view on that part of that passage, or you do not hold to it?
Just curious. Thanks.

Might as well get right with it.
I really do appreciate what you've said but I don't know how to react. I'm just an old ordinary guy that has a passion for knowing what is the truth of the Bible, just like you and most other MADs. Actually, MADs and Ac28ers are not that far apart. Even I was a MAD when I was a babe in Christ 30 yrs ago (Ac13, E.C.Moore - see youtube). I've always felt that MADs are the 2nd most knowledgeable group on the planet. When you debate us, though, you can no longer use the "try the things that differ" ploy. Instead, you will have to prove that "the things are the same" - is there any scripture that tells one to do that? We'll in the scriptural "try the things that differ" seat.
You do, of course, realize that both Philippians 1:10 and 2 Timothy 2:15 are in Paul's prison epistles. You know, the epistles that say we are already seated Far Above All Heavens and have been since before the creation. The ones that say we are involved in the appearing, but not the rapture, whether pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib. Those 2 verses, 1 Phil 1:10 (try the things that differ) and 2 Tim 2:15 (rightly divide the Word of Truth) are in the prison epistles because this is the only time in the Bible where right division is necessary - gotta rightly divide Paul's epistles. The reason those 2 verses didn't appear in Paul's Acts epistles is because there there was nothing then that needed divided. Everything was 100% Israel from Gen 12 through Acts 28:28. Everything now is 100% Gentile.
Romans does not apply, dispensationally, to anyone living today. We are now living under Paul's post-Acts epistles, in a period where even the Jews are Gentiles."Everything is 100% Gentile now" is flat out lie. Rom 11:30. Everything is 100% in and through Christ OR NOT.

What does "try the things that differ" mean if it's not concerning the Word of Truth? I would think that Stam would agree.That is just your say so, bro.
There is plenty of need to distinguish between truth and truth THROUGHOUT the OT.
Back then, for example, should an Israelite have said "well, I like bacon - I'll go by the any beast I can catch diet described earlier - in Genesis 11" he would NOT have been rightly laying out their Word of Truth then, as to Distinctions Between Two Different Truths.
And Phil 1:10 is not talking about the same thing as 2 Tim. 2:15.
If you say so...
I mean, that's proof enough; right?
:chuckle:
Yeah...what is a post-Acts epistle?
Paul's POST Acts writings.
Does someone not realize house arrest is imprisonment? Does someone think there is a bunch of time between the 2 years at the last paragraph and his death? How many letters mention death being near? 2 (Phil and 2 Tim). I'm just wondering what internal evidence there is for what happened to him after the 2 years.
Seems like the Madist will use any excuse, reason, and or yanking of scripture out of context to have a reason to ignore and disobey what Jesus and the Apostles actually taught.
