Expanse2020:
Verily from what you claimed bible said, those who came before Jesus will Neva make heaven include Abraham, Solomon, nuah and others prophet and other people because there was no records of baptism on this people..am I right sir

Baptism as we know it, is of the Christian dispensation. Others have the ways God dealt with them.

Kobojunkie:
You would be correct since the constitution, much like the Gospel— which itself is the Constitutional Law in the Kingdom of God— is a Law. Your Bible is not a Law but instead a compendium or library of various books. So, it does not speak or have a voice.
2. OK, so where in that do you get the idea that this power passed on to them by way of the Holy Spirit is what you refer to as power of Salvation rather than power as described in, say Mark 16 vs 15 - 18?

It's the the tradition in the Bible that when there is transition of power the one receiving the power receives the Holy Spirit. You should try and find out.

Chetas81:
son of Man created the religion, some came through warlord which is Islamic religion, while the second religion introduce by American And European citizen, the problem is that black African citizen accept all this which is our problem today

Are you an atheist?

Chetas81:
but is not the ticket to heaven no matter what

Of course it is. But why don't you think so?

Kobojunkie:
The Bible does not speak--- it has no voice of its own--- so you need to be more specific about what you mean. Mark 16 vs 15 - 18, for instance, reveals the signs that follow all those who believe --- live their life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ.

Okay, so if I say 'the Constitution says...... ' I would be wrong. Back to the discussion, please consider this verse: 'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8.

aioluwa:
Baptism doesn't save you—salvation comes by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Your guilt before God is removed the moment you trust in Christ. But baptism is your personal testimony to, and the inward assurance of, your passage from the old life to the new life...

You can't trust in God without obeying Him.

Kobojunkie:
1. Jesus Christ never gave power of salvation to any man. That lie that He did is of religion and not of God. Rather, Jesus Christ sent His disciples into the world, as He had done at least once before --- Matthew 10 --- urging them to teach the rest of the Lost sheep in the world the same teachings and commandments He had taught to them during the over 3 years He walked with them. Jesus Christ also commanded His followers to baptize those sinners who believe.

2. That Law does not change or render void any of that which is God's Law so I am not certain why you would assume it has that power to cancel God's own decree.

The Bible talks about the disciples receiving power, so what power is It talking about?

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ also said that Everyone must be born-again.

Just before His Ascension, Jesus gave the power of salvation to His disciples to preach the Gospel and baptise people in His Name. 'Whatever you bid on Earth shall be bound in Heaven', He said.

Gbright560:
Did the left thief by the cross baptism? Yet Jesus grant him paradise.

Jesus had the power to forgive sins while He was on Earth. You should try to find out.

Chetas81:
you mean the British god in heaven, oyinbo just came to locked us here and go their way, which value the religion add to our society today

The relative freedom you enjoy today is because of Christianity.

FireUpNow:
so don't you think some who have willing hearts can be forgiven also without baptism

They will be judged according to their hearts.

Kobojunkie:
The same Jesus Christ also said, "Everyone must be born-again." He also said,"Except a man be born-again, He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." When you consider all that Jesus Christ said, "You will find that forgiveness isn't what grants you entry into the Kingdom of God. Rather, it is as Jesus Christ said, which is that you must be born-again in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.

You are speaking with both sides of your mouth. You cannot be saved with you sins intact. God abhor sins. You have to have your sins washed away first by way of forgiveness through obedience to be babtized.

FireUpNow:
Did that thieves who was with Jesus baptized? Still he was saved

Jesus said he, unlike any-one else, had power to forgive sins while he was on this earth. You can go and find out.

DiamondPant:
So we have a share in the sins of Adam and Eve but not in the wisdom and wealth of Solomon.
Hellooooo!!!?

'Hellooooo!!!?' what? Who gives men wisdom for technology?

phemmyfour:
No

Like Jesus said, he did it to fulfill all righteousness. Holy ghost baptism is of great importance to Christians.

Water baptism is a good experience but not compulsory

Jesus commands baptism and it's the practice of early Christians.

Careente7:
A Muslim would also say same thing about Christians.Make all of una juss dy play.

'He makes us worthy to be the servants of his new agreement that comes from the Holy Spirit and not from a written Law. After all, the Law brings death, but the Spirit brings life."

Islam, an imitation at Judaism, is full of laws and prohibitions, that's why it kills and will continue to kill both spiritually and physically.

Righthussle:
Lol. That's good. You're just being human.

When you tell someone a scary story about a certain place, it is natural that they'll be ready to do anything possible not to go there. It's human nature. But I always ask, if you accept a religion just to avoid their hell, what of the hell in other religions. How do you save yourself from those ?

Every religions has it's own hell, abi? Do you think every religion is approved by the true God?

Righthussle:
Save me from Which of of the hells?

I said hell but you said hells, how do you mean?

Akaegwu:
Baptism simple mean, initiation into christiany.

You hit the nail on the head. So, as it stands, those who aren't baptized are not even Christians yet.

Righthussle:
Saved from what exactly?

Saved from hell.

Afromentalist:
No such thing as salvation. It is a control mechanism to subdue the naive.

If we die to live forever, why not live forever directly without dying ?

Why don't you read the Bible from the beginning to find out why we died in the first place.

YungTemy:
So Muslims or followers of other religions worshiping the Almighty God, who haven't been baptized, aren't eligible for Salvation?

No way, but they shall be judged according to their deeds. 'And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 1 Peter 4:18. '
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." John 5:25.

This film get 15-day suspense.

Is criminality having a free hand and seems normal these days or what?

Hhansome:


I am from a Christian home. I honestly believe in God but not in the way of African.

Una never want tell us the truth of what is in the bible.

Bible is doctored!

The Bible is meant to be read, go and read it adequately to find out the Truth in it.

After the Outer-call or on the radio, after preaching, the preacher would ask those who wish to give their lives to Jesus to repeat certain words after him calling Jesus into their lives. Is this right and Baptism not neccesary?

FreeStuffsNG:
Nigeria still needs that his 1st Class brain, intellect , experience and his bold, frank can-do spirit. Check my signature for free stuffs!

And nobody else has such qualities in all the state of Kaduna. Won't giving political posts to new hands make for more distribution of national wealth and privileges? I don't know where politicians wear their brains. Gosh, the followers are even worse!

Sonnobax15:
. I wonder too oh my dear Candidlady .

E shock you too abi??

If you no have much to save and your neck is growing thin and you still say you are saving, you no go die?

Benard5050:
I worked in a school for four years and I decided to resign to establish my own business, a laundry business to be precise.

Immediately I gave my boss a month's notice, she turned me into her enemy immediately, and she became so bitter towards me.

The school is run by husband and wife and I discussed with d husband who is the director that I still wish to maintain the room in the staff quarter till December that the house rent should be deducted from my last salary because our rent is being deducted every month from our salary.

The director agreed, wished me well and even advised me further on other things.

My last day at work was Wednesday and happened to be my birthday, this woman never wished me a happy birthday but instead a full manifestation of bitterness that was open to all to see. I made sure I fulfilled her requests but I cried cos I felt let down and betrayed... I joined the school when the college was only jss1 and 2 and now with d help of God and my hard work and those of others, the school has developed and grown to ss3

I'm into teaching aspect and also extracurricular activities that I do teach the students and won many things for the school regarding that.

I left unceremoniously and I felt so sad and betrayed...

Yesterday the director messaged me I'll have to vacate the room I'm occupying and this house is where I'm doing laundry, I planned to be there till Dec and then move away when I start making some money from my laundry.

How can humans be so inhuman and ungrateful?

I have nothing to say to them, I put everything in God's hand.

Where do you wear your brain? You ddn't plan well naa. You should have moved out even before resigning. Now you have put yourself in their mercy. You need some sort of diplomacy and begging to do. You may start with the husband. Employer's property is employer's property.

BoldBrainz:
A Press release coming from the office of the Senate President cannot differentiate between "breath" as a noun and "breathe" as a verb.

Yet these are the same clowns in whose hands the fates of over 230million Nigerians have been committed.

Even the entire body of the write-up is laced with arrogance, thereby carrying nothing resembling a remorseful apology.

Quite shameful!

Thanks. Shame on all of them that voted these people into power.

Democracy in Africa should be defined as government of the people, by the people BUT NOT for the people.

I think Wike should be given the Ministry of Defense. Let him handle the terrorists and bandits with his temper. Use craze to cure craze.
