Featured Acts 10 - Cornelius - Question

It’s Both. That’s how it’s done.

 

My answer was sufficient.

 

All you are doing is making an assertion. It doesn’t prove anything. You must interpret things in context. I proved the tenses of justification in this verse.

 

Normally, Baptism is our initial Justification.

 

Gal 2:20 - This is talking about Faith “after” justification.

 

Do you believe in grace before justification?

(St. Augustine is arguing against heretics) Now those very persons, who think it unjust that infants which depart this life without the grace of Christ should be deprived not only of the kingdom of God, into which they themselves admit that none but such as are regenerated through baptism can enter, but also of eternal life and salvation,—when they ask how it can be just that one man should be freed from original sin and another not, although the condition of both of them is the same, might answer their own question, in accordance with their own opinion of how it can be so frequently just and right that one should have baptism administered to him whereby to enter into the kingdom of God, and another not be so favoured, although the case of both is alike.….(Augustine, On the Merits and Forgiveness of Sins, Book 1, Ch 30, 412ad)

(talking about Pelagius) Let him clear himself on this point, since he refuses to acknowledge that there is anything in infants which the laver of regeneration has to cleanse. (Augustine, On the Grace of Christ, and on Original Sin, Book 2, Ch 21,
418ad)

the very sacraments, I say, of the holy Church show plainly enough that infants, even when fresh from the womb, are delivered from the bondage of the devil through the grace of Christ. For, to say nothing of the fact that they are baptized for the remission of sins by no fallacious, but by a true and faithful mystery, there is previously wrought on them the exorcism and the exsufflation of the hostile power, which they profess to renounce by the mouth of those who bring them to baptism. (Augustine, On the Grace of Christ, and on Original Sin Book 2, Ch 45, 418ad)

 

Rom 5:5 = Titus 3:6 = Baptism - I know you don’t see this one either.These are the only two times Paul uses the word “Pour” (see Strong’s #1632 Pour = Shed). Water came from Christ’s side. So he uses the word “Pour” in Romans 5 then talks about Baptism in Romans 6.
