"Baptism doth now save us in a figure"; In biblical typology, a type is an event, person, or object, which in this case is water baptism that foreshadows a corresponding reality in the New Testament, called the antitype, Who is Jesus the antitype of water baptism in His Eternal Work of...

Ephesians 2:1; "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins"; I notice here in this verse that there is an absence of 'life' expressed, when it says those who are saved were previously those "who were dead in trespasses and sins." 2:8,9; "For by grace are ye saved through...

Dare I ask what you guys mean by "the indwelling"? Where does that come from?

Exactly on point. That is exactly the distinction being made by these two Bible writers. !!!! !!!!!

When does Eternal Life begin? The hypothesis of learned Theologians, who have considered when Eternal Life begins in the soul is logically illustrated by answering how a light bulb is turned on in a room using a light switch. When we turn on a light switch, it sure seems like the light...

For Total Depravity to be said to not be total, or as the Total Depravity of men is placed on display for all to see, when they try to suggest 'Total Depravity is Not Total Inability', are both downright pure blasphemy, as much as they are both illiterate. BREAKING THE SCRIPTURES/LAW is what...

You're definitely going to have to give up the misplaced dependence you have established here, where you're thinking "God really is not willing for any to perish" and "God wants all people to be saved and come to know the truth", since the Bible doesn't teach either of those things. If anybody...

Everything you talked about is so much closer to the Truth involving the Spiritual Realm than I remember seeing in a long, long, long time, I'm not about to try and add to or take away a word of it. Good job, brother.

Like you say, "In the context" has to be examined in each different application of whichever word you are considering, to determine the various nuances that may be expressed in each case, by the way they are used (in context, etc.). I put this article Attached in a file below, or it can be...

This is correct, if the Bible is allowed to finish this thought, where I cut it off, and give the one answer to WHAT WAS BAPTIZED? Jesus Baptized His first Divinely Originated and ORGANIZED church ASSEMBLY of saved souls there at Jerusalem with The Shekinah Glory. The Lord had placed the...

This version is The King James in 1 John 4:3; "And every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming and now is already in the world." "Believing Into Christ based on God crediting your faith as...

You're putting "the washing of renewing", as if it had anything to do with baptizing anyone, and then imagining the Spirit is ever a "baptizer". "There is one baptism, meaning of course, that there is one "kind" of Spirit, etc., in Ephesians 4:4 There is one "kind of" body, and one "kind of"...

The KJVO crowd should have been corrected on this in any number of ways, but what's new? Aren't their official Tenants they follow as rules pretty much bogus and stupid in their entirety? Then, here we find a misinterpretation, even though what they are saying is just, because GOD HAD JUST...

So, the Holy Spirit is the Acting Cause "performing the action" and the Agent Used by the Holy Spirit to baptize with is The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit 'baptized' 'with' Himself? The Holy Spirit Took The Holy Spirit and 'baptized' something? That's not the way things are done in a Cause and...

You are 100% correct. The Bible talks about people who are saved had first came to know what it actually was like to be "dead in trespasses and sins" and, therefore, for them to correctly understand their Infinite Need for a Savior, not just to pretend they are 'saved' because they 'believed'...

“Are you so foolish? After starting in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh?” Galatians 3:3 You say that 'starting' here means the same as if it said 'after being born' in the Spirit, but if you added those same words 'being born' in place of where the only other scripture that uses...

12; "...But to as many as received Him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." You say that being born again doesn't cause faith. So where the...

The Blessings of The Eternal Covenant of Grace are the same under both Administrations of the ONE Overall Eternal Covenant of Grace, as we see in these wonderful verses regarding the First Old Testament Covenant and the Second New Testament Covenant of Grace. Salvation and Redemption by Christ...

So, "God Gave them the Power"/"Gave He the Power", to become the children of God, and you are just confused by an intentionally confusing and, therefore, mis-stepping translation. They used the word, "right", instead, and you ran all the way around the barn with it. Nice try. Tell that to an...

This would be "The Covenant of Works", which I sure don't see in the Bible. I see "The Covenant of Grace", however, throughout the Bible, everywhere. "If we forget that it is God’s prerogative to give results when the gospel is preached, we shall start to think that it is our responsibility...
