The scripture (God's breathe) teaches God's (pattern) of important instructions of information that holds understanding of what we're to do, exactly how we're to do (obey) it and what we're not to do (disobedience) Good discussion.

[@Ryasardia]

Thanks for the great lesson.. clear as day...

[@nickt.7305]

Excellent episode.

[@wesleycrisp6523]

Where did He shed his blood??? IN HIS DEATH. Not really worries about theology. We're not judged by theology. Bible is so clear on the necessity of baptism an what it does. Cant read Roman's 6:1-18 without clearly seeing that truth unless ur prejudice against it.

[@Leelee452]

Every verse you gave was written to people that were baptized in water. Ephesians in Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-17, and Paul lists the Corinthians he baptized in 1 Corinthians 1:14-16

Great lesson! Thank you both!! God bless

@bellcoolmountain6650 finding one that will be honest would be a blessing

[@bellcoolmountain6650]

@John-3-36 so true. He already told me it is so obvious Paul preached another gospel so I asked him to point out exactly when Paul began to preach his faith and no works gospel and he said SOMEWHERE after Acts 2 and before Acts 28!!!! That's not obviously clear at all!!! He cant tell me specifically when it began but also his own religion argue amongst themselves when it began. Strange he claims we see it so clearly in Scripture.

New Discussion

[@rapschmk_1962]

Why are we applying what Paul was told in Acts to us today? Do we not live in a different dispensation?

[@ryanrule8071]

We do not, no. Same since Pentecost

[@rapschmk_1962]

@@ryanrule8071 What about Ephesians 3?

[@ryanrule8071]

@@rapschmk_1962 verses 5 and 6 tell us a couple important points- 1- the mystery was revealed not only to Paul but His holy apostles and prophets (Vs. 5) 2- what this mystery was: “that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

[@SakuraRJones]

​@@rapschmk_1962hello! I'm curious exactly what you mean in referencing Ephesians 3. I just read it but wasn't sure what you had questions about.

[@Joe-pc3hs]

Dispensationalism is a false doctrine.

[@sareenamorrow4150]

Excellent discussion, Aaron and Scott! Also nice "be there" thing on the wall. ❤️🙏📖

[@davidstamburski9487]

Poor Lazarus was destitute, didn't have anything. It's almost like he went to paradise because of his poverty compared to the rich man who lived in luxury and was selfish and self centered. Seems like the story was told to the Pharisees who were rich.

[@H_O_W_I_E___D_O_O_H_A_N]

Faith/trust in the work that Jesus did on the cross saves, not anything act we do in the flesh. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 1:16 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Welcome to the dispensation of the grace of God given to Paul for us! Ephesians 3 We will be judged according to Paul's gospel. Romans 2:16

[@uncle_w0p]

Just a reminder for those listening that there's not a single verse in the Bible that says at baptism one comes in contact with the blood of Jesus. For a church that always preaches "speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent", they sure are vocal when it comes to this silence of the scripture.

[@wesleycrisp6523]

Romans 6:1-18 Read it.

[@ryanrule8071]

Galatians 3:27

[@ryanrule8071]

Commenting before you watched the whole video is interesting. It’s an hour long and you commented 30 minutes after release. Aaron talks a little too fast to watch at 2x 😅

[@uncle_w0p]

People always reference the same verse. "Death" and "Blood" have completely different theological meanings. "Death" in Romans is the type of death described in John 12:24. It is not talking about Jesus' blood. And again, there's not a single verse in the entire Bible that says at baptism we come in contact with the blood. It's misquoted, and quite frankly, it's a little pagan.

[@uncle_w0p]

The only reason you think it's in the scriptures is because it's been preached from the pulpit all your life. That is why the Churches of Christ have creeds, even if they say they don't.

[@R-H-C-3]

The Church of Christ does not believe in the revelation of the mystery given to Paul, but if they did accept those scriptures, they would know that the revelation of the mystery came AFTER Paul's conversion. It is why, later, Paul was sent not to water baptize and then introduced a new baptism, the "one" baptism, the baptism into Christ instead of into water. 1 Corinthians 1:17 1 Corinthians 12:13 Romans 6:3-4

[@dustinhuffman8089]

The baptism into Christ takes place in water, this idea of mid acts or late acts dispensationalism or hyper dispensationalism is a relatively new doctrine. The baptism of acts 2 is the same one in Ephesians 4, the same one baptism. Paul baptized the disciples in Ephesus in acts 19. In Ephesians 3 Paul through inspiration writes that even though we were dead in trespasses, because of his love and mercy has made us alive with Christ, he says this is by grace, and he says we have been raised up with Christ. Now when does he say that happens? Romans 6 he says that happens in baptism. Peter makes the point very clear that although baptism takes place in water, it’s not a simple bath, it’s our calling out to God for a clean conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You will not find a single verse in scripture that says the type of baptism being spoken of at any time has changed from one that takes place in water

[@ryanrule8071]

Corinthians were baptized in Acts 18

[@R-H-C-3]

@dustinhuffman8089 You can call it various dispensational terms, but i call it rightly dividing the word of truth, which the Church of Christ does zero of as you and everyone else knows. That's a problem. It appears that you are arguing for two baptisms, one into water and one into Christ. You can believe whatever you want, of course, but I'm going with clear scripture. All of Paul's baptism mentions, except for the one he stopped doing (in water), is into Christ, into his death, and into his resurrection. Why else would he tell us there is only one? It makes more sense to me to go with the baptism that is into Christ performed by God (1 Corinthians 12:13) rather than the baptism that is into water performed by man. Is Acts 2 a baptism into Christ? No. Just read it. It says "in the name of Christ." Baptism "into Christ" started with Paul.

[@dustinhuffman8089]

@@R-H-C-3 How did Paul baptize those at Ephesus, after Corinth, where he supposedly stopped water baptizing (which really is butchering the context)? KJV since it’s the only one you like Acts 19:5 “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” You’ve contradicted yourself. I agree the text is clear, I fear you are either misunderstood or worse misrepresenting, but I don’t want to assume the second, I can’t tell your heart.

[@R-H-C-3]

​@dustinhuffman8089 Paul's first visit to Ephesus (recorded in Acts 19) was in 52 ad. 1 Corinthians was written between 53-55 ad.
