✝️ Church Sticky Thread 🕊️
This is turning into the "Church Sticky Thread". I'll sticky it every Sunday.
And I showed where Cornelius and his companions were baptized in water after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts.
The Apostle Paul was also baptized. He was visited by Yeshua, who blinded him and ordered him to go to Damascus. The first thing Ananias did was baptize Paul with water after restoring his sight.
Baptism is something one does as an outward sign of their belief in Yeshua as the Son of God. Nobody said it was required to be saved and I even gave the example of the thief on the cross who was not baptized by water and said he was still saved because of his belief. Did you miss that part?
How is it possibly a heresy to get baptized? Are you claiming Paul and all the Gentiles who are baptized after the death and resurrection are heretics?
Water baptism is one's public profession of faith, picturing the Gospel. Being completely immersed under the water symbolizes Christ's death; and rising up from immersion under the water symbolizes Jesus' triumphant resurrection from the dead. In water baptism, a born-again believer is testifying to the world outwardly, what has happened inwardly. We are saved BY FAITH alone!

Romans 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.
Nope I will disagree. That is the doctrine of dispensation Baptist churches. You probably also believe that todays Israel are the chosen of God.
There is no symbolism of anything when it comes to the elect of God.
Matthew 22:14 King James Version 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Just as Paul was chosen and filled with God's Spirit.
If you're tying salvation to works then it isn't of Grace.
Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I don't think you're understanding what you're reading. What part of "We are saved BY FAITH alone!" do you disagree with?
I don't know. You're the one that keeps bringing up water baptism. None of the Apostles later on in their letters pushed water baptism. The only thing that matters is Christ in you through his Spirit which seals you to eternal life.
You and your church need to put that heresy in the rear view mirror because people that do that nonsense water baptism think that's how "they got saved".
Romans 10:9 King James Version 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
