New Doctrine Emerges: NOT Forgiven at Repentance

[mizpeh]

Dan,

I worked a 12 hour shift and have lost the energy to sharpen swords with you tonight.

So just to get started here are my premises in the form of a syllogism:

First a presupposition: Remission and Forgiveness is the same thing, they come from the same Greek word. This is not to say a Greek word cannot have a variety of meanings, but the meanings of "aphesis" are all very similar: release, pardon, cancellation, forgiveness, remission and the majority of the time are linked with sin. (I would like to see someone present a contrary opinion with scriptural proof.)

1) Sins are remitted by the applied blood of Jesus Christ.

2) Remission of sins takes place at water baptism in Jesus name.

3) Therefore, the blood of Christ is applied at water baptism.


I'll give scriptural proof for these premises tomorrow.
