Water Birth

Water Birth

A birth means delivered or brought forth. God gave man the authority to make his own decisions. But God does not give man the authority to change the decisions of God, to be born of water a man must be delivered from water or brought forth from water: the Bible does not say the water or a water, but water: The Ethiopian Eunuch said to Phillip see here is water: What doeth hender me to be baptized: Acts 8:38. Jesus also said to Nicedimous in John 3:5. Except a man be born of water, this means any where you can find water that is available and clean enough to bury or cover up the candidate. Mark 16:16 says, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: Believeth what? We must believe on his name, or in His name. Mark 16:17 says in My name they shall do this, well what if he isn’t baptized? We can say by the authority of the Bible. Believe be baptized, and be saved, or reject acts 2:38 and be lost. The second chapter of Acts and verse 38 reveals the great commission of Jesus Christ recorded in Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16 and Luke 24:47. The great commission of Jesus was to preach repentance and remission of sins in His name, and Acts 2:38 reveals the job or work in action by His called out ones, the Apostles. If Acts 2:4 is right, Acts 2:38 is right and if either of them is wrong the Bible is a fake. One reveals the Holy Ghost the other tells us how to receive it. St Peter said, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gife of the Holy Ghost.” They that same day baptized 3000 in His name and God added them to the church and they continued in the Apostles doctrine. Are we willing to continue in the Apostles doctrine yes or no? It is up to you and I to make the decision. John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and the Early Church reveals that water Baptism is included in the Bible new birth and that it must be done in the name of Jesus Christ. The Apostles also baptized 3,000 in one day. Phillip baptized the whole city of Samaria, the Ethiopian Eunuch, Cornelius and his house. The Roman Jailor, and the twelve that Paul baptized, remember all of these beginning at Pentecost was baptized in the name of Jesus. Were they wrong or were they right? Please give me an answer. De we really thing the early church Apostles was so mixed that they did not know how to obey Matthew 28:19, Luke 24:47 and mark 16:16?

St. Peter in Acts 4:11-12 says this is the stone that was set at naught by ye builders, neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under Heaven given among man where by we must be saved. Please study the great commission of Jesus as given by five different books of the Bible, St. Matthew 28:19 says go and teach all nations baptizing them in the name. St Mark says he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved and in my name shall do. St. Luke 24:47 says that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name in all the world. St. John 20:23, whom sins ye remit they are remitted and whosoever sins ye retain they are retained. Acts 1:8 says but you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me in Judea, Samaria, and unto the utmost parts of the earth. The sole purpose of all five of these scriptures was to reveal Jesus Christ to the world. Apostle Paul also, in Colossians 3:17 says whatsoever you do in word or deed do it all in the Name of the Lord Jesus. If you and I ever expect to get anywhere we had better work in His name and that name is (Jesus Christ). Well, do we want it like the Bible says? Do we have it like the Bible says; eternal life is nothing to gamble with. Amen

P.S. The Bible is the Revealed Will of God to Man. Read it to be saved, practice it to be Holy. It is the travelers map the Shepherds road, the Pilgrims Staff. It reveals to us the Chief Corner Stone which is the Lord Jesus Christ.
