The Judgment
Christ was not judged at the cross.
Sin was judged.
Christ was not defeated at the cross.
Sin was defeated.
Christ did not deserve the cross.
Sinners did.
You and I did.
Rom 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Behold, I give you the authority to trample
on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy, and nothing shall
by any means hurt you. - Luke 10:19
@vboveia@WitnessofSpirit@JesusSavesUs777 You guys are arguing with Jesus and the Bible. Repentance and baptism was intended for all all nations. I donโt understand you. Good luck.
@justin_for11873@bairdg3@NauseatedMe@JesusSavesUs777 WATER. Jesus and the Apostles were clear. Anything else is deception or false teaching. Itโs not that difficult!
Believers just go down in the water and obey the Lord. ๐ฆ
@Janey6465@NauseatedMe@JesusSavesUs777 Either Jesus is LORD or not.
Lord means BOSS.
Lord means: He make the rules.
We donโt get to make up our own rules!
Jesus *commanded* water baptism.
So did the disciples.
Itโs not an option; failure to do so is disobedience.
Also John 1
The Bible clearly distinguishes between water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism.
Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus where the disciples practice or command infant baptism. They only practiced MIKVAH: Jewish full immersion by someone who was professing the faith.
It is impossible for infants to profess faith. That baptism, while well intentioned, is NOT Biblical.
Also, in the book of acts, we see people getting rebaptized from Johnโs baptism.
They also received the subsequent baptism of the Holy Spirit.
