ocnovakmichael: If it doesn't require water then the Holy Spirit who led Phillip to preach and baptized the Ethiopian eunuch would have said so.
You are in the wrong brother.
You are confused
What happened between Philip n the Ethiopian is water baptism. Don't just jump into discussion if you have no idea of its context
Act 8:36 - 38
As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
tctrills: Yes, I agree with you, it is not physical, even though we have the fruits of the spirit that everyone can see or observe. That's why you don't know if the woman was baptized in the Spirit or not. So just as you don't have any evidence of water baptism, you have none of her being born of the Spirit. Same thing for the thief on the cross.
So you would rather argue on the grey areas (the things you don't know). You don't know if the thief or the woman was baptized or if they received the Holy Ghost or not. But you refuse to believe the black and white (the very clear truths). Jesus Christ clearly said that you can't enter His kingdom without baptism. No argument here. Do you see your problem? You argue over things you don't know instead of accepting what you know.
What about the thief that was crucified? How would you defend that...except you want to tell me that you can baptized the dead
tctrills: Yes, it doesn't need water, so do you have any evidence that she was baptized in the Spirit? The answer is no, you don't know if she was baptized of the Spirit. You assume, but you don't know.
Now, let me say something very controversial, I am sure you would not agree with me. Every instruction and commandment Jesus Christ gave us will lead us to the Kingdom of God, and disobedience to any will prevent us from entering the kingdom unless we repent. The instruction to baptize was not just a nice but needless suggestion. It was the word of God to man. We live by every word that proceeded from His mouth.
I understand you prefer to look out for people whom you think somehow made it to His kingdom without obeying His words. But me, I rather obey instead of looking for excuses.
That’s because baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't a physical demonstration
So when did he baptise the thief that was crucified with water?
ocnovakmichael: No brother. Water baptism is very much mandatory. The Lord Jesus made water baptism mandatory when he said, "... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). Did you notice Jesus said, "Except a man be born of water?"
Baptism by water and the baptism of the Holy Ghost are two streams flowing from the Holy Ghost.
So what happened to the thief on the cross n the woman that was saved by faith?
tctrills: 2 things, you said, no evidence of water baptism but that doesn't mean she did not get baptized just because you did not see any evidence. Again in her story, there was no evidence of baptism of the spirit. So according to your doctrine, one would not need to be born of the spirit because the woman you mentioned showed no evidence of being born of the spirit. Do you now understand how wrong you have been. Let's go back to gospel fundamentals. The Savoir said you cannot enter His kingdom if you are not baptized. It goes for you as well as the woman in the verses you quoted.
Baptism of the spirit doesn't need water...what evidence are you looking for
tctrills: Please can you show how these verses have anything to do with our discussion? No need of distractions the question is not if Christ can forgive din, it is if baptism is needed for salvation and according to our Saviour, the answer is capital yes. But to you, the Saviour is wrong. Jesus Christ Himself has no son yet He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness so even with the woman saved from her sin, she still has not fulfilled all righteousness. She most definitely needed baptism to enter the kingdom of God.
This woman got saved without evidence of water baptism. She got saved right there
CoronaVirusPro: He should also compare the bills and tax!
Does he know his entire annual salary in Nigeria is the mortgage or rent for what you can call home in the UK?
How many people live in homes in the UK? Many reside in Kennels called homes. Small things we can’t call BQ in Nigeria.
Does he know price of energy and taxes that follow after those numbers he quoted?
I am not saying Nigeria is better than the UK, but the true reality of the difference is not much.
Do you know the cost of living same life you were living in Nigeria under that low salary, with that of the UK?
Many can’t even live that life. It’s a party after party champagne campaign in Nigeria with the lowest we earn. We build houses to taste and own outrightly. We not chased by banks.
All these epistle cannot negate his experience
He's not washing plates or bum bum...He's working in his life choosing field
tctrills: I don't know, it was not stated but all I know is that Christ doesn't lie. If He says without baptism you can't enter His kingdom, I believe Him. I have no need to believe you over Him.
Mark 16:16 – “lHe that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.
Be careful how you interprete his words. You certainly doesn't have the right interpretation.
Lk 7 : 48 -
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
ufotunang: ..she did court marriage with ned nwoke..so she will inherit some of ned nwoke properties and wealth according to court marriage laws..so she can never be poor... and she is even an actress and entertainer , social media influencer, content creator so she has a lucrative occupation and job which she can still be doing to enrich herself the more
This is Nigeria, court got nothing on Nigeria politician
tctrills: Except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. It is mandatory for anyone hoping to enter the kingdom of God. Christ doesn't lie.
Was the thief beside Jesus on the cross born of water
The water in that context refer to spiritual cleansing
