Is Baptismal Regeneration False?

[Saint Steven]

What's your scriptural support for the age of accountability?

I called it a theory, not a doctrine. But here is a reference that I know about.
It seemed to have been common in Judaism.

John 9:20-23
“We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

 

[Saint Steven]

You know that I believe the 'shallow thinkers' believe there's only 'one baptism' based upon

EPH 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

And you know I believe in multiple baptisms as being essential, to leave 'principles' and foundational doctrines, in order to attain spiritual perfection/maturity;

HEB 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms,

And I've shared how the Great Commission was speaking of THREE baptisms and not one baptism with triune terminology "Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost." A 'mantra' which is never followed once in scripture by the apostles themselves.

ACT 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the NAME OF Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,

ACT 8:12,16 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. :16 for it had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

ACT 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord….


ACT 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Orthodoxy would have us believe that Stephen was dumber than the church of Rome, and forgot to add the Father and Holy Spirit to his baptism 'mantra' in Acts 8. And the church of Rome would also have to admit that even Peter himself also missed the 'mantra' in Acts 10. And of course Paul blew the 'mantra' in Acts 19.

Thanks. Now I remember that discussion. How soon I forget. lol

 

[Phil W]

It does agree with scripture. But it must be understood without the misleading translation you and most others read. In the Greek the words "HE IS" are not there. A correct literal rendition is this;

"So as if anyone in Christ A new creation" Translators add words to make it flow in English, but in this case it leads to the shallow reasoning which you and others have come to. You are a triune being and being "IN CHRIST" is the result of a change of your spirit alone being born again/saved and not your soul or body.

That explanation denies the words that follow the words you point to..."old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Cor 5:17)
As we were dealing with your partial "newness', and not an entire new creature, your "interpretation" has confined you to partial sanctification.
Not at all what God intended.

If, as you explain, we are a triune being in Christ, why is only one third of that new being like Christ?

It should pain you to not know the difference between 'imputed righteousness' which comes from being 'in Christ' and 'imparted righteousness' which comes from Christ being "formed" in you.

We are either in Christ or we are not.
His righteousness was imputed to me, but not before my old self was killed and buried with Christ at my water baptism into His death.
All of my old self is gone, and I was raised with Christ to walk in newness of life...a life of righteousness and sanctity.
Thanks be to God.
There is no longer any unrighteousness about me.

GAL 4:19 My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you!

The above was written to CHRISTIANS Phil. And I share Paul's frustration for them, as much as my frustration in dealing with you.

Christians are not waiting for Christ to be formed in them.
Paul is writing of those who have proven to be false Christians; men he wants in the fold.

It should also 'pain you' to crucify your sinful flesh like Paul said, in order to "work out your soul's salvation with fear and trembling" like scripture states.
That's what Jesus had to do since he too was sent with a sinful flesh nature to contend with just as us;

It did, as my conversion cost me all that I had in the world before becoming a lover of God and His Son Christ Jesus.

ROM 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

:
Jesus overcame the temptations of his human sinful flesh nature, and became the pattern son for us to do the same thing.

Thanks be to God for His example.
One I have followed to the exclusion of the "flesh".

1PE 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

It is a good thing to now be a non-sinner.

You quote a verse in Genesis describing how Eve was like Adam BEFORE THE FALL and make the HUGE JUMP to say that means you're just like Christ Jesus!!!!!! Maybe I should move on and dialogue with others Phil.

Hmmm...
I don't recall posting anything from Genesis.
You may have me confused with someone else...(maybe?)

If that's the best you can offer, I'll categorize you as 'another one' here to thinks himself a bit too perfect for me.

Perfect is as perfect does.
That's why Christ came...to make us perfect!

 

[BABerean2]

Please identify our point of disagreement then?

I am not quite sure.

We seemed to be getting along just fine for several days, and then you challenged what I had said, and then you have seemed to be in attack mode since then.

I still love you, no matter what you say about baptism.

It is my understanding based on Ephesians 1:13, and Acts of the Apostles 11:15-17, and numerous other passages, that a person is "born again" of the Spirit of God, when they believe.
This is when they receive the baptism of the Spirit.
Some would say this is "regeneration", which seems to agree with John 5:24.

It is also my understanding that water baptism is the person's public declaration of their faith in Christ, and is not tied directly to their salvation.

God does the giving of faith.

Mat_3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mat_4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mar_1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Mar_6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

Luk_13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk_13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk_16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Luk_17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Luk_17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Act_2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Act_3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Act_8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

Act_17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Act_26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Rev_2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Rev_2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Rev_2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Rev_2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Rev_3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Rev_3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

That doesn't agree with Peter's words in Acts 2:38.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Before the Holy Ghost can be given a man must turn from sin and get water baptized before God gives His baptism of the Holy Ghost.
This is the format for all examples in the book of Acts, except for the first Gentile, Cornelius.
A special circumstance meant to show the Jews that the Gentiles too had been given the gift of repentance from sin.
Thanks be to God.

The Jewish rulers tried to invalidate the beggar's statements. So they called the parents before their tribunal. The parents were asked whether they were sure as to this man's identity, and also whether they knew in what way he had received his sight.

We can imagine the scene, the old people shrinking back before the inquisitors, afraid to speak, for fear of saying something that would offend.

They were careful to remain neutral, to retain disinterest as to any possible miracle, for the Jews had threatened those that would confess Jesus or speak in his favor with excommunication.

They referred the examiners to the man himself. He was of age, and he was able to speak for himself.

They didn't want to risk excommunication. That was the understanding among the Sanhedrin's members, to put Christ's confessors out of the Church.

There were three degrees of excommunication. In the third degree, the culprit was laid under the indefinite ban. They were treated as if they were a leper. This, to persons as poor as this beggar's parents, would mean ruin.

☆ It's a judgment upon unbelief that the unbelievers can't see the facts which are held before them. Their blindness is so dense that they can no longer. see the light. ☆

.

Apologies. I did not intend to be in attack mode.
I thought we were still having a lively debate. Maybe this will help.

I see the baptism with the Holy Spirit as a subsequent experience to salvation.
This means that it may happen right away, or it may happen later at some time.
Or it may not happen at all. Which might be the case with you.

I believe the indwelling of the Spirit comes in salvation when we first believe.
But this is different than the baptism with the Holy Spirit.

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a gateway, if you wish, to other manifestations of the Holy Spirit. The typical manifestations initially are speaking in tongues or prophecy.

Clark's commentary says that means "literally, he has stature, i.e. he is a full-grown man; and in this sense the phrase is used by the best Greek writers. See Kypke and Raphelius. Mature age was fixed among the Jews at thirty years."

IOW we're talking about a full grown man whose status in the synagogue is determined by his own words and not the words of his chicken parents who don't want to get kicked out.

You seem to struggle with following the debate track here.
You asked me if I had scriptural support. We seem to be derailed again.

 

[Saint Steven]

It is also my understanding that water baptism is the person's public declaration of their faith in Christ, and is not tied directly to their salvation.

On this point we agree.

 

[Saint Steven]

It is my understanding based on Ephesians 1:13, and Acts of the Apostles 11:15-17, and numerous other passages, that a person is "born again" of the Spirit of God, when they believe.
This is when they receive the baptism of the Spirit.
Some would say this is "regeneration", which seems to agree with John 5:24.

This is mostly where we disagree.

I partially agree with the first paragraph.
Yes, a person is born again when they believe.
But disagree with the second paragraph.
No, this is not the baptism with the Holy Spirit.

You chose Acts 11:15-17 as one of your baptism with the Holy Spirit scriptures. Which is a retelling of what happened in chapter ten which says:

Acts 10:44-48
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles. 46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48 So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

 

[Hillsage]

That explanation denies the words that follow the words you point to..."old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Cor 5:17)
As we were dealing with your partial "newness', and not an entire new creature, your "interpretation" has confined you to partial sanctification.
Not at all what God intended.

If, as you explain, we are a triune being in Christ, why is only one third of that new being like Christ?

Because the 1/3 SPIRIT OF CHRIST is all of Jesus Christ that is in you. But only IF your spirit was reborn...as A new creation making all things spiritual...experientially new for you. Your 2/3 soul and sinful flesh body are not the soul and body of Jesus Christ...they're PHIL's.

We are either in Christ or we are not.
His righteousness was imputed to me, but not before my old self was killed and buried with Christ at my water baptism into His death.
All of my old self is gone, and I was raised with Christ to walk in newness of life...a life of righteousness and sanctity.
Thanks be to God.
There is no longer any unrighteousness about me.

Wrong. Self-righteousness is unrighteousness. And you don't understand 'imparted righteousness' or 'Christ in you'. Both of which are successive to 'you in Christ's imputed righteousness'.

Christians are not waiting for Christ to be formed in them.
Paul is writing of those who have proven to be false Christians; men he wants in the fold.

I quoted scripture and your opinion is WRONG again...concerning those 'CHRISTIANS' Paul wrote the letter to at Galatia. Read the context PHIL. It wasn't addressed to 'My little heathen how I am in travail...'. Paul said "little children" which is the equivalent of those here 'in way over their head' theologically, but still thinking they are something.

GAL 4:9 but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

It's called BACKSLIDING SOULS Phil. Their born again "grieving/quenched" spirits are OSAS.

It did, as my conversion cost me all that I had in the world before becoming a lover of God and His Son Christ Jesus.

It cost you nothing, it cost Christ everything. My conversion was different than yours. I'd be a Christian if there was no Hell like you believe. My life is better than before because I have Christ's life now. Surprised you didn't have the same experience. How righteous were you before Phil, since it cost you so much? Please it's a rhetorical question. I want no more answers from you.

Thanks be to God for His example.
One I have followed to the exclusion of the "flesh".

You are 1/3 flesh and you want to tell me that it doesn't exist in your walk????? WRONG.

It is a good thing to now be a non-sinner.

WRONG. But being self deceived seems about right to me.

Hmmm...
I don't recall posting anything from Genesis.
You may have me confused with someone else...(maybe?)

NO you prove again who is confused

Your words "Bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh"

is Genesis and has nothing to do with the thread or us in Christ. You just keep proving why I told you last time I really don't want to dialogue with you. And I was going to stop here with that point. But you just keep getting worse so one more quote/answer and I'm done.

Perfect is as perfect does.
That's why Christ came...to make us perfect!

Well, Well, Well, then I guess you can just have Paul kiss your feet when you get to heaven, since you've made it.

PHI 3:12 Not that I (PAUL) have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I have nothing more to say to one who thinks too highly of himself...or should I say too lowly of the rest of us... for my taste.

Please do not respond, because I'm not interested in your philosophical and religious opinions Phil.

 

[Saint Steven]

It is also my understanding that water baptism is the person's public declaration of their faith in Christ, and is not tied directly to their salvation.

One easy way to distinguish water baptism with the baptism with the Holy Spirit is the accompanying manifestations. Typically tongues. (sometimes prophecy, or ???)

- The house of Cornelius = tongues.
- At Pentecost = tongues.
- The baptized believers in Samaria = what was missing? Tongues.
- The five thousand new believers in Acts chapter four = tongues? (most likely)
- The newly baptized believers in Ephesus = tongues.
- Ananias (not an Apostle) was sent to Saul to lay hands on him = tongues? (most likely)

I'm not as sure as you concerning Samaria;

ACT 8:18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that any one on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
20 But Peter said to him, "Your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter/logos,

3056 logos; something said

hope you enjoyed this.

Well, we're off to see Heidi Baker tonight and tomorrow night in Dodge City. You have fun playing with the 'brethren' bro.

On the Day of Pentecost those present heard the Gospel in their native tongue.

Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Act 2:5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Act 2:6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
Act 2:8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
Act 2:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Act 2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."
Act 2:12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "Whatever could this mean?"

Modern Christians who claim to speak in "tongues", and do not speak in a known language are not participating in what happened during the Day of Pentecost.

Former Pentecostal Robert Breaker reveals what the Bible says about tongues.

Paul most probably spoke Hebrew, and Aramaic, and Greek, and Latin.

1Co_14:18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

.

 

[Saint Steven]

Modern Christians who claim to speak in "tongues", and do not speak in a known language are not participating in what happened during the Day of Pentecost.

The most definitive scriptures about gifts starts and ends like this.

1 Corinthians 12:1
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

1 Corinthians 14:39
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

 

[Saint Steven]

On the Day of Pentecost those present heard the Gospel in their native tongue.

One of my pet peeves is people who don't speak in tongues telling those who do, what it is and how it should be done.

 

[BABerean2]

One of my pet peeves is people who don't speak in tongues telling those who do, what it is and how it should be done.

What speaking in tongues is and how it should be done comes from the scripture, which is found below, instead of from me.

My tongues are English, and some Spanish I took in high school, and a tiny amount of Greek.

What tongues do you speak in from the verses below?

Act 2:8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
Act 2:9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Act 2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."
