Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

What is your evaluation of the evidence I provided you?

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I agree that someone cannot refuse to be baptized and still be saved (and nobody has suggested this), but you can be saved before you're baptized if you have received the gift of the Spirit and...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

But it is in the same passage, v 17: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

James is not talking about conversion. He is talking about the Christian life after conversion. We are saved by faith not by our works whether at conversion or at any other time. (See Rom 4.4-5; Eph...

It seems to me that God does help us through doctors and medication. If the source of someone's mental issues is physical--something is wrong with their brain--then I would definitely think...

Re: Bott 2023

If this is so, I stand corrected. I heard hours of preaching that day and the other days of BOTT, so I apparently didn't remember what she said correctly.

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

What I've done is show that forgiveness and the saving work of the Spirit cannot be separated in time, and therefore, salvation, occurs at a point in time. That point in time is repentant faith, that...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I'm not arguing that "water" refers to baptism. I'm noting that the average Oneness Pentecostal says it does.

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

John 3.5 is not about salvation? Based on Jesus's entire conversation with Nicodemus, to be born from above and thus be able to see and enter the kingdom is equivalent to believing in Jesus and thus...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I agree.



I do not agree.

Paul does so explicitly, for example, in Col 2.13-14: "And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

Actually it's not. This is so thoroughly established historically that the burden would be on you to show they did not believe the Spirit was given in baptism.

But, we could start with one of your...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I was speaking more broadly about theological debates in general. There would be no debates if everything in Scripture could only be understood in one way.

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I just wanted to follow up with you on the question, Do you believe that the birth of the Spirit occurs automatically when someone is baptized and that it is not signified by speaking in tongues?

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

Why has there ever been a debate in this history of the church? If indeed nothing is ambiguous, how have sincere believers disagreed on anything?

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

Do you believe that the birth of the Spirit, or being resurrected by the Spirit, occurs automatically in baptism and is not accompanied with the sign of tongues?

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

I think Simon could have made it clearer. :-) There is no consensus on how baptism saves:

ESV: "not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience"

CSB: "not...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

An extremely common view, maybe the view held by the vast majority of Apostolics, is that repentance is dying with Christ, baptism is being buried with Christ, and Spirit baptism with tongues is...

Re: Forgiveness or Remission?

Baptism is the normal setting for this to occur in, but it is effected by faith and repentance, not by the ceremony itself.

This passage shows that our spiritual resurrection occurs simultaneously...
