I actually tried to edit this last part immediately, but my internet connection wasn't working and I couldn't. I'm never going to here the end of it!

Oh now PRECIOUS brother in Christ Jesus OUR LORD!

Don't you worry no more!

I love you!

So, embracinghim, you are in agreement with this poster? Are you also a oneness advocate? You deny the Trinity, etc.?

Why do you always accuse people of being this or that?

If I had to wager on it, I would say out of sheer joy, but, I do not think that would be true.

I know Calminian's intentions are good, and pure.

God Bless

Thank you Key. I'm well aware of my proclivities. It's a constant battle, but you can wager I'm battling.

... Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? ...

Why do believers want to rob salvation of the blood that saves them? Do you not understand the importance of the blood. Without the blood, there would be not remission of sins. What is more important, water or blood? The church for too long has turned it's back on the blood of the lamb. It is time to change this. For the power is in the blood of the lamb.

...

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

...

...

Most believe this to refer to water baptism. Yet, is this baptism, this is referring to? And how is it, it speaks of one baptism, yet scripture plainly reveals there is more then one baptism.

Calminian,

The peace of God be with you.

I don't think you have read what I wrote correctly at all. Strife is not the way of Christ. May we 'never' accuse a brother or sister falsely. I'm sure both of you know this to be a sin, just as I do. Correct?

Water baptism is a commandment that I follow and advocate. It's purpose is to declare our belief and entry in the Body of Christ. It symbolizes (in the flesh) our death to our flesh and our birth in Spirit. It is Christ who baptizes in the Spirit and this is our unity and oneness with Christ (walking and working within the confines of the Holy Spirit that we are gifted with).

Now what makes anyone believe that I would dare cause insult to the Trinity or the gospel of Christ. What I say is scriptural. Do you disagree?

You might find fault with me not being unkind and apprecriating and encouraging HisWordIsMySword, but I would advocate that you do not place false or premature judgement on others. The scriptures warn us of holding or building suspicions against brethren and about gossip and all sorts of works of the flesh that is displeasing to God.

In addition, Calminian, your sarcastic joke to Zeena does not depict pure intentions and love IMHO (the comment about a failure to think when I see no absence of thought or reproach deserved toward Zeena).

It is okay to disagree without suggesting things not recorded by other members.

Finally...do you realize, Calminian that we are both Baptists?

May you be blessed and loved and seek peace with **all** as the scriptures command (not just the rules here at CF).

God Bless and hugs.

Hello friend, i will make this quick.....The guy who was on the cross next to Jesus....He recieved salvation, and yet he was not baptized with water. The Bible as you said says that their is One baptism.....yes, technically there is mor ethan one baptism, but only one is necessary for salvation, and that is the baptism of The Holy Spirit! God Bless! amen.

Thank you Malckiah for posting.

Christ said that the criminal next to him would be in paradise, yes. It was the criminal's belief in Christ that Christ acknowledged -- essentially 'the criminal's heart' toward Christ.

In the flesh there could appear to be more than one baptism (indeed in Jewish history we learn of 'many' baptism rituals that the Jewish culture partakes or used to partake in...cleansing rituals, etc.).

Those who have studied Jewish history (and accounting that Jesus was Jewish) indeed have greater understanding toward scripture and the 'One' baptism spoken of in scripture.

Water baptism symbolizes the death of our flesh and rebirth in Spirit. It is performed as a statement of belief before the Body of Christ. It is a commandment and should indeed be followed as 'all' of Christ's commandment's to us. He is our Lord and Master.

It is true that 'sin' or ignoring the commandments of Christ does not prohibit salvation. We have 'one' judge and all knees shall bow to Christ and He will judge righteously.

I would not however advocate the idea of 'not' following Christ's commandment's to us as imitators of Christ...our water baptism is fundamental to our Faith. It is a 'perfect' symbolization in the flesh of our devotion declared openly to the Body of Christ. It is not a 'second' or 'third' baptism.

What is seen in the flesh...is 'not' what is of the Spirit.

HisWordIsMySword, this is the point I am trying to make. We are in the flesh and see things as the flesh does. What is of the Spirit is more significant. I see full congruency with water baptism and there being but 'one' baptism. A perfect act in the flesh that represents the greater act that is performed within our souls (receipt of the Holy Spirit and unity in the Body of Christ).

HisWordismySword, May you be blessed and continue to seek and love God with your whole heart and do not sway in your love of others or allow anyone to sway you from seeking the truth through the love for truth that you have.

God Bless all.

One last post to thank Calminian for being my brother in Christ.

We have come to understanding and respect through PMs...if anyone else held interest (peace never lost--just questioned).

Forgive me for any shortcomings in this thread...

And praise Him for His wonderous gift of encouragement and love while we all seek the truth and share in His love for one another. Agape is the most difficult of all loves to give accurately as it is Divine. I'm not sure if humans can hold this perfection and I know I surely do not. So I apologize for my short comings in this area.

May all be blessed and HisWordismySword I hope that you are blessed especially in coming to the Spiritual understanding of 'One' Baptism. Hugs all.

Although I do beg to differ..

I believe it was the OLD MAN who was crucified in Christ, on Calvary. Which, to me, is indicative of the SPIRIT

That the flesh is very much still active, and if we do not walk after Jesus, we will walk after the flesh..

Romans 7:5
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

So, with that siad, in response to the OP, the baptism is one of the Holy Spirit!
And we, with unveiled faces behold the Lord of Glory Living in and through us as we yield to Him for Life

Zeena,

Thanks for offering the following scriptures of 'agreement' with the point I have been trying to make (no differing... ). Hugs, sweety.

We see here that becoming dead to our flesh is symbolic in baptism and a commitment we make openly to the Body of Christ.
