We are made in God’s image and likeness, we aren’t just symbolic.

Per Romans 6:3-4. Verse 5, For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, . . . " . . . Likeness . . . ." Symbolic. "

Believers' immersion is stated in, Mark 16:16, He that believeth and is immersed shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Symbolic? But you argued, Baptists who interpreted Romans 6:3-4, so, also interpret the immersion of the Holy Spirit, not being water.

This is what happens at Baptism. When you are immersed in the water, you are immersed in His death. There is a relationship between the Spirit of God and the Water. “And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the...

Romans 6:3-4, Know ye not, that so many of us as were immersed into Jesus Christ were immersed into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by immersion 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.

When the Lord Jesus was baptized by John, it was a symbol of all who are in Christ being "immersed", spiritually, and bound together by the Spirit when we believed. Describes what that baptism entails. Spiritually immersed into His death, and spiritually raised again in His resurrection...

Hey JF I quote these passages often in other topics, but they apply here. When we are placed in Christ, and born again, there is a spiritual death of sorts. Should we call the power of sin the old man? Is the flesh sinful by nature? Does it become that? So when the Old man is put to death...

If the grammar is thought out and the statements logically and reasonably considered, I do not see any doctrinal error in saying sin nature. “We were by nature the children of wrath.” We were the children of wrath. “The children of wrath” is a predicate nominative. It renames “we.” How are we...

Hey Ben. In that passage Paul says nature, but not sin nature. The word 'nature' seems to be attached to 'children of wrath'. As I pointed out in another thread that bears repeating.... Romans 2:14-15 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these...

I see what to me are some quite odd statements and questions coming out in posts and replies where someone has decided that certain verses which, for the most part, had never had any association with the actual experience of being born again for over a thousand years after the Bible was written...

Which contained the tablets of the law, a pot of manna, and Aaron's rod that budded. Moses means "drawn out," and was a name given by Egypt. But the correlation of the vessel is noted. As far as Earth is concerned, we enter Christ at baptism, just as a man and wife become one at the confession...

The Old Testament contains two accounts of an Ark, with both appearing to foreshadow God's "Ark of Salvation." We have Noah's ark which provided a way of salvation for a remnant of humanity, and we have the Ark of the Covenant, which prefigured Christ's humanity (made of wood) and His divinity...

Hi Wesley It's a fair question or point from cjab because so many people have different ideas of what free will actually is. I always like to start with the question: What are you claiming to be free from? Your definition is the right one, I agree. Though that freedom is the result of believing...

Hey Dave. As I have shown, the new life begins by being born again and is always the result of trusting in Christ. When we come to Jesus with a genuine faith, in response, Jesus places His Spirit in us, the Holy Spirit. That's why the Gospel message is believe and be saved. That makes us one...

Thanks Dave. I didn't read the other thread and was a bit lost in the sauce. Yes, I agree.

Many have had water baptism, and still remained lost in their sins, but ALL who experence spiritual Baptism into Christ by the Holy Spirit are saved

Hey Jon, thanks for the reply. For the record, Alans claim was that there is only one baptism in Scripture, therefore, he reasoned, that everywhere in Scripture that uses the word baptism must be speaking of water baptism. He said that the Spirit baptism was made up and wasn't in Scripture. I...

Exactly, and amen. It's Jesus doing the baptizing, and the Holy Spirit is the Agent of that 'placing into'. Everybody who is a Christian did receive the Holy Spirit indwelling as a result of their faith. So we know that every believer, even today, has been baptized/placed into/immersed by Jesus...

Romans 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were into His death? Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. the act of being baptized is to be placed into something. or immersed in something here Paul tells us in...

Lets start here. Jesus is the Church. It's a spiritual body. Jesus always existed, thus the Church always existed, BUT, we call Pentecost the birth of the Church because that the first believers placed into that spiritual Body, the one True Church, Jesus. This is why it's called "in Christ" in...
