    I and the father are one.

    You are floundering. Desperate to form an impossible image. Your great error is to view Jesus as God - YHWH, the one true God. But as long as you keep with your error you will always be deceived - and try to deceive innocent ones. But as for ‘Godhead’. That’s an invented word by Trinitarians...

    I and the father are one.

    well let's see if there is a Godhead. Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" Colossians 1:17 "And he...

    Baptism in Christianity

    I believe that means that Paul does not consider the Baptism of John to be part of Christian faith.

    I don't think that. I only add to the mystery with my post. Now we are getting complicated!

    Baptism in Christianity

    .... and as Ephesians 4:5-6 corresponds to 1 Corinthians 8:6 that there is one God, the Father..... ' and ' there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.....

    Baptism in Christianity

    Matthew's 23:25-27 Jesus baptism cleans the inside and makes the outside clean. It isn't what goes inward that makes one unclean. It's what is without. Understanding baptism with water doesn't clean within. Thinking baptism by water is like whitewashed. Only appears to clean

    Baptism in Christianity

    I only contribute more mystery to the conversation by contributing this passage from Ephesians chapter 4 verses 4-6: "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and...

    Why do some Christians reject Baptism saves?

    Paul did not make water baptism a part of his gospel message and went so far as to say that Christ did not send him to baptize but only to spread the gospel message. How could this be if baptism is that gospel? If baptism were necessary for salvation then how do you deal with the paralytic...

    Why do some Christians reject Baptism saves?

    . Wildswanderer where does the scriptures say Baptism does NOT effect salvation either way??? 1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus...

    Jesus as Christ

    Sorry I confused you. I believe that God is reigning in heaven but both Jesus and Baha'u'llah and all the other Messengers of God are close to God in what Baha'u'llah referred to as the Supreme Concourse. None of the Messengers of God are literally 'reigning'; that is just an expression that...

    Jesus as Christ

    What I'm looking for is some clarity and consistency! If Jesus is Christ in heaven, and Baha'ullah is also Christ in heaven, do we have two Christs reigning in heaven? What, therefore, do you make of Philippians 2:8-10? 'And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became...

    All roads lead to the same God ?

    “Baptismal regeneration” is the initiation into the new covenant! Christian baptism is an outward sign of the inward action of grace, or merits of Christ’s passion blood and death applied to our souls! Ez 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your...

    YHWH: Worship ONE GOD, not MANY GODS. Worship Me, alone!

    Are you trying to say that at Matt 22:44 Jesus was not saying that David called the Messiah his Lord? It certainly looks as if the Jews thought that David called the Messiah his Lord. If they did not think that they would have been able to tell Jesus that the Psalm was written for...

    YHWH: Worship ONE GOD, not MANY GODS. Worship Me, alone!

    Please read the verse properly. Jesus ASKED them a CONUNDRUM which they could not answer. Amazing... you are trying to teach me that God is not a man yet also trying to say that Jesus, a man, is ALSO GOD? “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ...

    The Unitarian Problem

    No need to continue. I have given you scriptures and you have the right not to believe them.

    The Unitarian Problem

    In Acts 19:1-5 the believers at Ephesus did receive a second baptism in water, because they wished to demonstrate their faith in Jesus. When they did publicly demonstrate repentance and belief, Paul laid his hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38. 'Then Peter said unto them...

    The Unitarian Problem

    But you are arguing against what the scripture says about water baptism. Please show me scripture saying baptism is a show of intention, or initiation into the church. Show me a scripture where they ever baptized a baby. A baby doesn't know right from wrong. A baby can't repent. So why...

    The Unitarian Problem

    I have no desire to argue against water baptism. I believe it has value as a show of intention, and as an initiation into the Church. But if water baptism is seen as the only means by which sins are forgiven, then I wonder at all those who have been given infant baptism. Were the sins of babes...

    Do You Believe In God, Why? Don't You Believe In God, Why?

    I agree with you that the Christian faith has been misrepresented, but that has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ and his moral standards. The pastors and the priests are whatever-they are human beings. While we need shepherds, we also need a relationship with God and putting God first...

    Do You Believe In God, Why? Don't You Believe In God, Why?

    The reasons why Atheists exist is due to the Christians misinterpreting their religion and First and foremost, David Wood talking about what Islam thinks, doesn’t answer the question. Forget Islam for the mean time. The question I asked was, where did Jesus explicitly state that he was God...
