It does appear that he understood that the first birth was phyiscal and the second birth was spiritual. It's too bad he conflated the two and gave water baptism a role in what is singularly the act of God... giving birth to people from out of His Spirit.- NewLifeInChrist

I didn't say they were banned, I said sprinkling them with water doesn't do anything. And I also highlighted in my comment that babies being baptized before they "believe" isn't even scriptural, at least in Baptist circles, because water baptism, which is symbolic of the resurrection from the...- NewLifeInChrist

Bible Study Do we love the truth!
What I said should be clear. When I said, But "obey the truth" in Galatians 3:1 does not refer to "Continuing in the Jesus's words, His teachings, and His doctrines" and the charge that they did "not obey the truth" does not refer to them "transgressing" and "not abiding" in "Christ's...- NewLifeInChrist

No, unlike fallen angels, all my past, present, and future sins are forgiven. Some people believe in sinless perfection, but I don't. Yes, and that was the one-time sacrifice Jesus offered for our sins.- NewLifeInChrist

Two ways... "26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." (Ga 3:26–27) "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." (Ro 13:14) The first way is not...- NewLifeInChrist

Legalistic thinking is not limited to the law of Moses. I don't see it the same way you do. From the OP, you think, "obey the truth" points to "knowing the truth" and "knowing the truth is abiding (remaining, continuing) in His word; His teaching, His doctrine", and "Whoever transgresses and...- NewLifeInChrist

You are doing it again (quoting verses out of context). Nothing in Ephesians 4:5 indicates physical baptism. The one and only baptism that counts is the real one, the one that happened when Jesus came to live in our hearts, burring our sins at the cross and raising us to live in the newness of...- NewLifeInChrist

Ok, fine. So the sacraments justify us so that we may live holy lives, but when we fail to live holy lives, we lose it all. Then what? Participating in the sacraments justify us again so that we may resume holy living? Until we sin again? And this repeats how often? Wouldn't it become obvious...- NewLifeInChrist

3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—3 Are you so...- NewLifeInChrist

This confirms one of our differences. You believe the Catholic church is the gateholder and that it opens the gate to let people into the kingdom of God when it baptizes them. I believe Jesus is the gateholder and that He opens the gate to let people into the kingdom of God when they receive...- NewLifeInChrist

You want me to clarify this statement... "You seem to think that obedience garners eternal life, but what you don't seem to grasp is that no one is obedient enough to gain eternal life through obedience. It is impossible. God laid on His Son the inquities of us all so that through Him salvation...- NewLifeInChrist

Yes, God is supreme, and it is necessary to do everything He tells us to do. For example, Abraham obeyed God when He told him to sacrifice his son on an alter (Gen. 22:2), and he was right to do it even though human sacrifice is an abomination to God (Deut. 12:29–31), and God does not change...- NewLifeInChrist

Lol, aren't you familiar with the new trend that anyone can be anything if the say they identify themselves as such?

I'm glad to see you are embracing Louw-Nida now. As you probably know, Louw Nida gives two semantic domains to the word. You quoted the first one, but here is the other one: 31.107 ἀπειθέω; ἀπείθεια, ας f: to refuse to believe the Christian message—‘to refuse to be a believer, to reject the...- NewLifeInChrist

Actually, Don, you would be right except for the "aka grace". It's not grace, it's God's life that has no end... "Eternal life" refers the life God possesses and gives to people. This passage explains it well: 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives...- NewLifeInChrist
