Religion / Re: I Have Made Up My Mind To Leave Religion, It's Not Worth It. by hoopernikao: 8:00am On Jun 19, 2020 |
Kenplay: OP, you didn't come out clear. Using the word religion is quite wide. Be specific on what you are refering to. Or have you been practicing worldwide religion, everywhere you go things? I am sure your experience is related to a particular group of people, so state it clearly. Are you refering to Christianity or anything else? 3 Likes |

Finallydead: Read Rom 1-3 well. There is nothing as faith and another faith. Same faith from old to new. That is exactly what he is saying. No difference. Infact it is saying the opposite of what you are saying. It will simply translate that the faith preached in OT is same. Nothing different. Faith in Christ. Check all verses that reference Hab 2:4. They all mean the same. Same faith in from Genesis to Revelation. Same gospel to Adam to us. God's word didn't change according to faith. But as I said baptism is what I want to focus on here else we will change the whole topic. So, I want you to state for me the different baptisms require of believers. As per your question. Surely Jesus is our example. |

Finallydead: You can't explain scriptures in isolation Ephesians 4 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. How many body do we have? How many Spirit? Lord? God? Father? You don't isolate scriptures, you must interpret as a whole. From faith to faith never implies different faith or more than one. It simply means it is all faith from first to last. Hence "the just can only be by faith" that is both in old and new. But let's leave this. Not the issue here. I need to know how you find different baptisms for believers or levels of baptisms in the bible. |

GRIMMJOE: I don't understand the above. Make it clearer. But I maintain, people die because of lack of knowledge. Note I also didn't say EVERY PERSON that die, die because of knowledge. So let me understand what you are saying. |

GRIMMJOE: The way I see you sef you can use constitution of all countries to justify rape. You will likely be the judge and the jury On a serious note. Using a book to justify wrong doesn't mean you are reading or interpreting the true intent of the book. There is an intent in every writing, that intent is what should be discovered not your own interpretation. When you decide to leave the intent and essence of a writing or author you will fall in error or be a false fellow. There is difference between twisting a scripture to justify an action and staying true to the original meaning and intent of the writing. Lawyers uses constitution to defend their client who can even be a notorious person. Yet they will find a way to misinterpret and explore the constitution to justify wrong actions. So your interpretation is not what matters but the intent of the author. When your interpretation align with the intent of the author, that is when you just started bible study. |

petra1: Salvation Sir. That is what is referred to in Acts 19. Receiving the holyghost is salvation. They weren't saved. The lack of the holyghost in them was obvious to Paul. They only know about the preaching of John (baptism of repentance). They have never heard Jesus preached nor anything about the spirit. Hence, salvation through faith in Christ wasn't known to them. Paul handled then the same way he will handle all unbelievers. Just like Philip and the Eunuch. They do have zeal even to know but hasn't been taught salvation in Christ. |

GRIMMJOE: Calm down, stop twisting words. This doesn't fits you. Check yourself head to toe. You are bigger than doing such. Get stable in what you say. You are moving in circles. It's an attitude of someone who has nothing to say but I know you have maybe hard for you to say. Always know how to present truth truthfully. There is difference between, me, God, bible. But you are raising uncoordinated accusations to all. Who exactly are you refering to, always be distinct. Show me where the bible have issues, asking you 20th times likely. Is it a hard thing ni. |

GRIMMJOE: GRIMMJOE, there is no applause in all you listed above. Nothing peculiar and non move my opinion about you. Even if you are the emblem of morality or the poster boy of immoralities. it doesn't change any of my opinion about you. What matters to me is what informed your knowledge. What drives those actions. The influence. This is all that matters. And more importantly, what drives your opinion about the bible and its teachings. |

GRIMMJOE: People die because of many things in life most especially lack of knowledge. Just like you are also handling and treating bible now, blaming God and bible for everything is a false knowledge on its own and this informed your actions which can lead you into many things. Yet claiming it's the bible that misled after failing in such. Stay with bible narrative. The reason I have been asking for your own knowledge of the bible. People do things and claim it's bible or indoctrination yet have no clue of what the bible truly stands for. And the sad part is looking at your conduct of liking to judge people afar off you will always conclude that bible misled people without you yourself knowing or checking what exactly the bible teaches. Don't you think you aren't truthful and fair in your judgement? The whole of what you hold today against God and bible is what you see around or what you were told. Have you taken time to check yourself if these things are true, if this is how it was truly taught in the bible? This is what I am ready to do with you here. At least you should either confirm your opinion or reject it after honest and open study. But you aren't allowing that. I know you believe in fairness but is this action fair? To conclude without knowing? |

GRIMMJOE: I don't understand what this means. But also let's face our facts. You haven't still showed me anything o. I love truly counting on you to show me what the bible teaches wrong or how bible portrayed God wrong and contradictory. You are only moving us in circles. |

Finallydead: Okay so can you explain the baptisms. I will need clear explanation between the baptisms you mentioned. Also, saying Ephes 4 mentioning ONE baptism is refering to ultimate isn't true. There is a sequence in the verses So is it also many Lords,many God's, many of the Faith etc? Also many Spirit in Christ? One simply means one in all the context. |

petra1: Ability and endowment comes the very day you receive the holyghost and that is at salvation. You can't separate the spirit from the spirit ability. You can't have the spirit and lack it's ability. Most of the time what is lacking is knowledge. The day you come to know you have it doesn't have to be the day you received it. It is there all along. Endowment is what you are born with not what you acquire. At new birth you received the spirit and then endowment of the spirit. Functioning in it will be a knowledge fact. Also "be filled" with the spirit is not refering to receievinh something but being control by what you have received. It means to be controlled with. In Ephes 5 Paul use a contrast. Drunk with wine, filled with the spirit. 18 And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost; Drunk and filled are contrast saying the same thing. Do no be taken over or control with wine but will the spirit. Being filled with the spirit will mean activities of the spirit, it's operations among us. Hence Vs 19 shows you how to be filled. 19 and speaking ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;] Verse 19 listed out how. These are activities of the spirit. You must read 17-19 together to understand this . 18 And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost; 19 BY speaking ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;] the word AND will mean BY pointing to how to be filled. Always read the letters in context. Same thing you will read in Acts 4. They were filled and then spoke with boldness. That is to function in ability you already have. |

Dtruthspeaker: Jesus requires no bathe or cleaning from an unbeliever to be saved Sir. No matter how he washed even with white soap he cant be cleaned except by the blood of Jesus. A man don't clean himself to come to Jesus, no single scriptures for that. A man must repent, change his heart and receive the life of Christ, that is how he is washed. I say again, no man can wash himself clean expect the blood of Jesus. A man is to come with trust that all his sins no matter how big can be taken care of by the blood, that is repentance and it's driving by faith. " I am a sinner and I now know and receive truly there is a savior to deliver me and clean me, I have no ability of mine to do so, hence I come to you trusting in your blood to make me whole". That is salvation. No personal stuff. If I can take care of my sins before coming to Jesus what sin then will Jesus washes away. Hence a sinner will come to him with all he is and trust and accept him as the only sacrifice to wash and take away sins. Anything outside these is not salvation. |
Religion / Re: Is Receiving The Holy Spirit Different From Baptism Of The Holy Spirit? by hoopernikao: 4:00pm On Jun 18, 2020 |
Dtruthspeaker: It seems you are mixing things up. I don't have issues with what you wrote above. Why I asked questions is because you called the above a "baptism". Let me quote you again and Baptism refers to the Washing of Your Body and Soul, That is A Bath to wash all your dirts (Sins and Offences) Away. So, refering repentance to acceptable baptism is a big issue. Firstly, that can't be called baptism and was never called baptism in the bible. Baptism is taught in Epistles as one. Hence the baptism of the holyghost. This is also what you received at salvation. It is not what happened afterwards. A man who received salvation must have done so with a repentance heart i.e. a change of heart. Hence no man with salvation lacks the baptism of the holyghost. Any other visible or spectacular act you see afterwards are only signs. The receiving of the Spirit itself is supernatural and don't have to be spectacular. And that is done at salvation. |

So who are the "all of them". Always be clear. Also make clear the "getting along" too. Dont do behind the door whispering to Rozz in other to sell your views. |

Dtruthspeaker: Also here you agreed to ONE baptism. And according to your former explanation you mentioned two: 1. Acceptable baptism: for washing of sin and body of sins. 2. Holyghost baptism: for the holyghost to be received. Going by Ephesian you quoted, which one is actually the one baptism. |
Religion / Re: Is Receiving The Holy Spirit Different From Baptism Of The Holy Spirit? by hoopernikao: 12:05pm On Jun 18, 2020 |
Dtruthspeaker: If I get you well, the sinner will have to clean himself, perform what you called acceptable baptism, wash himself off sin and offences then the holyghost can come and baptise him. Right? I have also checked the text you gave The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise I can't see a cleaning of sin here by the sinner nor do I see his immersion for acceptable cleaning of his body and sins. You may need to expatiate. Secondly and more importantly, How does the person cleans himself from his sin and does acceptable baptism by himself since the holyghost is not responsible. |

Dannyfan: I hardly do this, short answer things. but let me try it Baptism of the holyghost is not speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is one of the evidence (visible) of baptism of the holyghost. When a man doesn't speak in tongues, it doesn't mean he is not baptised by the holyghost. He has been given the spirit, that is the seal, the prove of his salvation. You cannot see or explain holyghost baptism beyond salvation. And that is not baptism by water immersion. A man is immersed in Christ, identified with his death and life at salvation. This is the work of the holyghost. The moment you start to see baptism of the holyghost beyond receiving salvation, you are either not reading well or being driven by the spectacular to miss the supernatural. |
Religion / Re: Is Receiving The Holy Spirit Different From Baptism Of The Holy Spirit? by hoopernikao: 10:24pm On Jun 17, 2020 |
Dtruthspeaker: Likely you didn't get my question well as it seems you aren't answering it. Let me state it again. This is based on your first post that the holy spirit comes after am acceptable baptism. That is the cleaning of one's sins according to your word. So, I asked, since the Holy is not responsible for the cleaning of man's sin or acceptable baptism, who does the baptism, who is responsible to cleaning (baptism) a sinner from his sin. That is the question. That is what I desire to know.
I may have to correct the bold. Every bible study and every bible student has a theology. Theology means study of God and by extension his work and ways. So, saying theology isn't a bad word. It is what we do daily. Saying you should study your theology of a topic simply means you study your that concept as related to God's knowledge. I won't go in the direction of tongues as that isn't necessary here. There are detailed work and discussions on Nairaland that can give you critical view of what you wrote and hold concerning that. But like I said, try check again your theology of such concept very well. |

GRIMMJOE: Do you see the bold? You subtly inserted that so that you can twist my narrative. Point me to where I said such. It is not proper when you give false accusations or account of people especially when it's deliberate. You can't live on twisting people's words and expressions, it won't help you. This is the reason you can't present your point because they are based on twist. I hope you will apologize for this. And I truly mean it. |

Dtruthspeaker: Based on the bold above. If the Holy Spirit only comes after a pure and acceptable baptism. Who then do the acceptable baptism. I mean who and how do you receive your acceptable baptism without the holyghost. I will appreciate if you layout scriptures when responding. Secondly, you may need to check your theology about tongues ones again with a lot of proper and critical view. |

GRIMMJOE: You see, listen to this well and I mean well. All that you wrote up there are in themselves product of influence. It is obvious you don't understand what influences are. You think it's about sitting you down? From the point of what you wear, how you speak, how you think, even the phone you use in typing all the errors above etc, they all stem from influence. You saw it somewhere, heard it somewhere, read it somewhere etc. Infact saying you aren't influenced or hardly get influenced is influence itself. You heard it somewhere, believe and hold it. Don't be deceived sir. Every man is a product of influence but the one who is influenced and never knew he is, is the one that speaks as you wrote above: "I am hardly influenced". When you speak like this, know that your influence already gotten you to where exactly it want you to be: a position of lack of knowledge of its influence. A very bad position. So it seems I have a lot of work to do on you o. That you don't even know you are influenced, how will you now know when you are influenced badly. This is a big case. |

I await your points that informed your decision about the bible. I have been waiting for 36 hours. You have non. What more can be illusion than speaking all-day on what you know nothing about. But as it stands now, you have displayed that know nothing about the scriptures but stay on hill top shouting it is illusion, it is contradictory, it is false. Don't you think, if we are speaking face to face by now people would have deserted you as one who is incoherent. It is only proper for you now to sit down and start learning how to speak and acts properly during discussion. At least that will present your smarter than your current state. |
