Kobojunkie: I am not sure you read the Bible so having this discussion with you may not be productive. If you read Bible we can talk, but as it stands, I am sure you don't read the Bible. Looking at a text or gazing at words isn't reading, reading is what brings knowing. I am not sure you do that. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: You will need to understand simple application of English words and their meaning. For you not to know that all you yourself do here on NL daily is a defense, it brings a lot out about how you understand what you are doing or write actually. But I know that, trying to point a direction to someone who isn't going anywhere will only be a waste. 1 Like |

Goshen360: After being saved through christ blood, we are to obey his commandment and that is why we are commanded to be baptised by immersion. Jesus did it, why are you refusing it or counting it likely. Just because one believes in Jesus is not a guarantee thag he is going to heaven. Obedience to christ comandment is the key to heaven. Jf not, jesus wouldn't have said that 'not all that call him Lord, Lord will enter his kingdom, but those that do His will'. Now, even in Mark 16:16 KJV "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." We can see here that the same baptism is mentioned by christ. The pronlem with some believes is that they don't undertsnd what they are getting into. They don't undersrsnd the purpose of baptism, that's why they take it lightly and see it as nothing. Ignoramus in the things of God will send many to hell fire. "my people perish for lack of knowledge". Romans 6:3-4 KJV "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? [4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism 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." Even when cornelius received christ and was baptised with the Holy spirit, apostle Peter suggested that they baptism by water shouldn't not be neglected and they were baptised. Acts 10:46-48 KJV " For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, [47] Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? [48] And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." We all take the bible for granted but beware, heaven is for those that obey all God's word in the bible. |

peteregwu:Alright, so do you yourself understand the purpose of the Baptism or do you assume you understand because you can post those verses from Paul's letters-Romans 6 vs 3 - 4 - which contain nothing of the purpose to begin with. ? As to God's statement ...." my people perish for lack of knowledge ", the knowledge God's people lacked then and still lack to this day is the knowledge of God's Law to them through Jesus Christ, the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the one who is Law and Gospel in the Kingdom of God, through whom we are meant to obtain all understanding of the Kingdom of God.. |

peteregwu: The problem is, when you see the word baptism or baptize your mind had been trapped to think it's automatically WATER. Go and study the meaning of the word baptism or baptize and apply to every context and you will see most verses you quoted it does say WATER....it's your mind that's seeing water. Even Romans you quoted doesn't say you're baptized INTO WATER.....read again with open mind 1 Like |

Dressing was not what you'd expect a pastor's daughter to be seen in. Weed? Dey dey roll up and smoke up that year. Parties? Lol, we dey see dem on a regular. Then they went abroad. It became a lil more discreet. But people who knew their family just overlooked their lifestyle. Maybe they've changed now tho...Him too.

petra1:Considering what the man said about baptisms in the post you responded to, what you have above is meaningless, this because Jesus Christ's disciples Baptized countless even before the Holy Spirit showed up on them much later. Were those baptized by them then lost or something? Make una try to dey remove una delusions from what is written abeg. |

petra1:What you posted makes no sense since the man's claim is baptisms are no longer necessary. What is written in scripture is that they are required. You however insinuate that baptisms were done by those who had the Holy Spirit, a lie since many of the same apostles, where recorded to have baptized countless even before the Holy Spirit showed up. |

Some people like being controversial. Yes, Baptism DOES NOT save it is an affirmation of commitment to live the rest of one's life for God (turning a new leaf). |

Born of water and of the spirit doesn't mean water baptism, neither does it mean physical birth. The combination actually means to be born of the spirit which brings along transformation of the heart (cleansing). The water there signifies the cleansing of the Holy spirit. The new testament is about worship in Spirit and in truth, no more of rituals and symbolism. More details here: https://www.gotquestions.org/baptism-John-3-5.html Note: I don't agree with all the doctrines of the above website but I agree with this one and many others. Kobojunkie: |

Kobojunkie: I want to believe you are referring to the following scripture. Mat 28:19: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" Do you realize that baptism doesn't always mean water baptism? Baptism actually means immersion. And we've seen baptism in bible mean teaching. 1 Cor. 10:1-2 1. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2. and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, What does baptized into Moses mean? It means they were immersed into Moses's teachings. So to align with other teachings of scripture what Jesus really meant was to teach in the name of the Father, Son and Holy spirit. Again for the new testament there's only one Baptism which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:4-6 New International Version 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Acts 19 King James Version 19 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied Notice Paul's surprise that they were said to be Baptized but it wasn't the baptism of the Holy spirit that he asked them "Unto what then were ye baptized?" Because if you say you are baptized then it should be of the only one Baptism which is that of the Holy Ghost but they instead had John's baptism (water baptism) |
