Earthly wisdom and testimony is not what we have from God ( the wisdom of above)Everyone comes into this world by water, that is to say, “born of water”.
Only Jesus was came into this world, born of a virgin, which means He came into this world by water and blood.
Jesus came to establish relationship between God and man, not religious ceremonies as an end in themselves. So deathbed conversions are real even if ceremonies the living can do aren’t possible.Just a quick question(thought).
Is baptism an absolute requirement for salvation?
Was the prisoner, whom Jesus said would be in Paradise, baptised?
The Holy scriptures are able to make us wise to salvation ( to save us)
All scripture is by inspiration of God for instruction in righteousness ( which is what saves us)
The context of 1 John 5:6, is as scripture testifies of it, not as anyone dismisses it as.
Anyone on this forum actually understand and agree to the testimonies God gave us to believe in ?
The Gospel of John tells of the beginning with the Word, and how life was in Him, and the life was the light of men.
1 John 1, is an update, because John had handled the word of life, as the life was manifested. ( the Apostles are eyewitnesses of the risen Lord, to see His hands and His feet where the blood had been spilt. This is then confirmed in 1 John 1, how they saw it with their eyes, they looked upon, and their actual hands handled of the Word of life, this is why the Apostle bears witness in 1 john 1, and why they confirm they have seen it, and why they are then showing unto us that eternal life, which they saw, as it was manifested to them.
We are saved by belief in the rising of Christ from the dead, which all scriptures point towards.
Jesus came into this world with life, life in the water, life in the blood and life in the Spirit.
Yes everybody has it manifested, that you wish to conclude that 1 john 5:6, has no context for saving us. That would allow for a private interpretation, and conclusion that the water, blood and Spirit, in that verse are talking about Jesus being born of a virgin. ( and not require acknowledgment that this is testifying about salvation, in the blood water and Spirit of Christ, all of which have life in them, which He shed for us in order to give us the Spirit blood and water of Christ.)
Our only question left for us is, the water which we must be born with ?
Why would I disagree that the virgin who gave birth to a man, was the mother of Jesus Christ.Do you disagree that a virgin who gave birth to a child, would have the blood of her hymen, and her water sac flowing our of her as a testimony that the child coming forth was being born of a virgin?
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
