Yes it doesn't change the truth that Jesus and his apostles taught and practiced the wrong things.

This is not english class. I used past tense b/c I was reporting what Paul said, so do not be worked up at all. Yes Paul was writing about the Jews and the Gentiles who were still living after Jesus died, resurrected and ascended into heaven. What you are holding onto is in Rom.2, and Rom.3 is a continuation of Rom.2. So while reading do not stop at Rom.2, go farther than that for better understanding.

Remember that the Gentiles though without the law, would do that which the law required by nature. Being that the law iwas written in their hearts and their conscience bore witness to it, accusing or excusing them.

What I explained in Rom.2 was what Paul wanted the Jews to know about God justifying them by the DEEDSS of thr law. But in Rom.3 Paul made it clear how one would be justified by God today. It is no more of the law (whether of the Jews whom the law was given, or of the Gentiles who had the law written in their hearts, though without the law). One is justified by FAITH in Christ Jesus today (whether Jews or Gentiles). The best way to understand the book of Romans is to read it chapter by chapter. This helps you know which things have gone away and which things have taken over.

2. Your answer 'Jesus will touch them' as regards repentance and believing in Jesus is not clear enough to me. Is it physical or spiritual touch? What effect will the touch have in such life?

3. As regards one who does not believe in Jesus as a result of not hearing about Him but has good works:
How do you ascertain that he has not heard about Jesus? Or is it that he does not understand what is talked about?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
18. He who believes in Him is NOT CONDEMNED; but he who does not believe is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son Of God
1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has (eternal) life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have (eternal) life.
2 Corinth 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.
From the above verses, we can see that ANYONE who has not believed in Christ Jesus (though he has good works) does not have eternal life.

The passages below show that the works of the law do no longer justify anyone before God (whether Jews or Gentiles) but only FAITH in Christ Jesus.
Gal.2:15
We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles.
16. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by FAITH in Christ Jesus , even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by FAITH in Christ and NOT by the WORKS of the law, for by the WORKS of the law, NO FLESH shall be justified.
Gal.3:7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
8. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the GENTILES by FAITH , preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand saying, In you, ALL the nations shall be blessed.
9. So then those who are of FAITH are blessed with the believing Abraham.
23. But before FAITH came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ that we might be JUSTIFIED by FAITH.
25. But after faith has come, we are no longer under any tutor.
26. For you are ALL sons of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus.
28. There is neither Jew nor Greek...for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
In Christ, God does not recognise one as a Jew or a Gentile but as His child.
1. Is Romans 2 correct that Gentiles will be judged by conscience?

Or is it wrong?

2. Jesus will touch them physically and spiritually.

3. Just assume a person never hears about Christ...or a two-year old...that dies can they be saved?

MuttleyLaff:
Got a bit of your attention there, have I?

No, I am not saying such, I had never said such nor anything close or like that.
Why would Jesus correct when He hasnt died and resurrected yet, when He isnt yet in glory?
Why are you expecting that?

Nope, I dont but I know about the baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire in Luke 3:16

Luke 3:15-16
15Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah.
16John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you with water;
but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am
—so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire

Whatever is written in the Bible is not wrong. I cant vouch same for the translations though.
An example, is your favourite "Matthew 28:19"
where insertions or additions to the original text were made, to end up with what we presently have as "Matthew 28:19"

Seems you forgot to add or put "initially" in between "they were" and "instructed to "water baptise""
They were initially instructed to baptise with water just as John the Baptist was doing in

John 3:22
22Then Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and went into the Judean countryside. Jesus spent some time with them there, baptizing people
23At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there;
and people kept coming to him for baptism.
24(This was before John was thrown into prison.)
25A debate broke out between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over ceremonial cleansing.
26So John’s disciples came to him and said,
“Rabbi, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you identified as the Messiah, is also baptizing people.
And everybody is going to him instead of coming to us.”
27John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven.
28You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’
29It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows.
Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success.
30He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
31“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else

John 4:1
1Jesusa knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John
2(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them—his disciples did).
I see where the problem is.

We are following what Jesus and his apostles/Church taught and practised...including translations...

Little do we know that many of those aren't correct/necessary.

You're the chief teacher/interpreter of Christianity.

You correct even Jesus' teaching.

It is difficult to break an old habit, that is why
They learned it from Jesus before He died and resurrected

The person who is truly sincere about knowing the truth finds it, the other finds and sees excuses.

Yes, toned down to suit your palate.
I dont want to over-tantalize your taste buds
So Jesus taught the apostles to baptize with water but he never told them to stop it, that it wasn't necessary.

He left the job for you.
Christianity Etc › Re: Are We Saved By Faith Or By Water Baptism? by italo: 8:39pm On Jun 20, 2015
Barnabaseloka:
Yes, I wrote the bolded, but why do you accuse me of lying? I laugh when I read some of your posts. The way you read some passages in the bible and interpret them directly without checking other passages is quite unimaginable. P/s learn to study the scriptures in order to correlate passages with passages.

I will summarize the verses you quoted in simple terms:
1. Paul made the Jews to understand that God would accept them only if they obeyed the law given to them and not by having the law.
2. He went ahead to point out that if Gentiles who did not have the law obeyed what were written in the law by nature, they would be accepted by God and justified.
3.The Jews who had the law were no different from the Gentiles who did not have the law, yet obeyed it by nature.
4. If the Gentiles obeyed the law, though not having the law, it showed that the law had been written in their hearts.
5. Their conscience also would bear witness of the law written in their hearts in that what they did would either excuse them or accuse them.
6. The jews and the Gentiles, therefore were without excuse in God's sight.

When I said those that died before Jesus paid for the sins of the world, being judged by their conscience, I talk of the Gentiles. Now ANYONE (whether a Jew or a Gentile) is put right with God through FAITH in Christ only, not by the law anymore. I will support this with few scriptures.
Rom.3:9 What then? Are we (Jews) better than they (Gentiles)? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are ALL under sin.
20. Therefore, by the DEEDS of the law, NO FLESH will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21. But NOW the righteousness of God APART FROM the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the prophets,
22. even the righteousness of God, through FAITH in Jesus Christ, to ALL and on ALL who believe. For there is NO DIFFERENCE.
23. For ALL (Jews and Gentiles) have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
24. Being JUSTIFIED freely by His GRACE (not law) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Then, Paul told the Jews that anyone who obeyed the law would be justified by God. But now, he has made us know that it is only through our FAITH in Jesus that both Jews and Gentiles will be justified. If you want more passages, I will be willing to post them also.

I ask you again: What will Jesus do in the life of someone who hears the word of God, repents and believes in Him?
Paul wrote that about Gentiles living after Jesus' death...because he spoke in present and future tense, saying:

Rom 2:14 When Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves. 15 They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all.

Do you want to edit the scripture and insert past tense there so that Paul can use the verses to talk to people who lived before Christ?

My answer to your question: Jesus will touch him.

What will Jesus do to the soul of one who never hears about Christ but does good according to conscience...and dies?

It is always the word or spirit baptism italo, without the word or spirit of God no one can enter the Kingdom
Can a man baptize another man with the Holy Spirit?

MuttleyLaff:
This whole thing, is like already winning a 100m dash race and later waiting or later given a medal for a race already or previously won
It's just an outward exercise, no one can take the fact and truth away that one won the race
The medal, whether gold, sliver or bronze is just an outward symbol or appearance that shows as evidence for something earlier won
It's all wash, a ceremony, a ritual, a rite, an award podium ceremony.
That's your fake explanation. The Bible never said so.

He got his get this teaching same place from where he initially refused to eat with a Gentile

Baba Ijebu, you really want to get your money's worth. Try John the Baptist and Jesus before resurrection for starters

I know the Apostles were initially instructed to water baptise, but not necessarily "baptise with water" after Jesus resurrected italo.
You'll be amazed to know that one gets baptised with other things apart from literal water
Interesting. So are you saying that Peter and all the others who baptized with water were getting it wrong...Yet Jesus or no one else corrected them.

You know better than Jesus and all the apostles, then.

Then all things written in the Bible could be wrong and are subject to your ratification.

Please explain the bold. I'd like to know where they were instructed to "water baptize."

Barnabaseloka:
You amuse me a lot. Philip and the believers in Jesus followed the instruction on baptism that Jesus gave in Mark 16:15-16 and Mt.28:18. Jesus did not talk about baptism in John 3:5.
What do you understand by one being born again
?
I already answered the bold. Meanwhile you're yet to tell me why you contradict the Bible on Gentiles being saved by their conscience. Still dodging that.

You're ahead of me in that area,
you do a better work with meaningless banter than me

That and more italo


Ah-ha! There you are. Yes! Very true, Peter brought it up first.
Peter used his discretion to offer it to them without them instigate first.
Bros. You keep beating around the bush. Why did all the apostles baptize with water? Where did they learn it from that they had to do so?

You keep give all sorts of flimsy excuses.

"Peter used discretion" "Philip didn't want to force-feed" "Eunuch was a babe" "Eunuch was a babe and more"

I honestly do feel like giving you a bear hug italo.
I just love your forthright honesty and admire your unashamed naivety

Where is or which verse did you find this Trinitarian formula from?
and are you sure of the authenticity of this verse compared with the original text?
Matt28:19
MuttleyLaff:
Did John the Baptist perform this your " invocation of the Holy Trinity" version for Jesus too?
No. He wasn't commanded to.

MuttleyLaff:
Now, here is me answering any questions you have for me ...including and starting with the bold.

On the day of pentecost that 3000 were baptised, where, which place and how was this done?
This was for my benefit, as I am trying to gauge or find out:
#1. how much you know about Jerusalem, its topograph, especially in relation to water(s)
#2. what yours and the accepted general view is on the format used and how the water baptism was done or carried out

Considering the time of day, how long did it take to baptise each of those 3000?
This is the thing italo, baptism is not an exclusive word for water baptism.
There is baptism of Fire, people get immersed in their studies or book, people get immersed in hobbies etc

OK, I know most churches, if not all, practise triune baptism
but you earlier suggested just "the invocation of the Holy Trinity" as carried out by the Apostles
doing baptism with water, either as water sprinkling, water pouring or immersion in water.

italo please note, that Acts 2:41 verse is silent on "water baptism", as it only said they were "baptised"

Acts 2:41
Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day--about 3,000 in all.

Say for discussion sake, that immersion in water was used, wow this will be an all day affair, possibly spilling to the next day, dont you think

"Considering the time of day, how long did it take to baptise each of those 3000?" was a "SMOKE OUT" question.
Used to force someone out of a place, in order to reveal something
Did you not see where I showed how 3000 people could easily have been baptized with water in 2mins?

You still didn't answer my question:

Which baptism did the people I mentioned get?

Water, word or Spirit baptism?
