I guess is all over........my sister in d U.S said she is experiencing same

Even as this bible passage is so common among individuals, yet dy don't understand d message in d passage.

it says: "For God so love d world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life"

Firstly,
God loves dse world making God loves us, that he gave us his son; he surrendered his all for us, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish meaning all you ve to do to ve eternal life is believing in Christ.

Our Eternity is secured once we BELIEVE in him

That is why is called the good news because it is too good to be true.

It is not baptism dat will save u
it is not restitution dat will save u
it is not righteous living by works dat will save u

It is only believing in d burial , death and ressurection of Christ that saves.

happy new year

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER SEASON 3 just watched d winter finale my best series so far with d unveiling of d under the sheet man. can't wait for 2months to vonyinf

DoctorAlien:
OlamideGirl,

Please follow this link to find out how important water baptism is.

Thank you.

ve read it and d writer was just picking scriptures without reading d full text

just read dse

while we should preach that all people are commanded to repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38), adding any other requirement to salvation by grace becomes “works” in disguise.

Even though numerous Scriptures speak of the importance of water baptism, adding anything to the work of the cross demeans the sacrifice of the Savior. It implies that His finished work wasn't enough. But the Bible makes clear that we are saved by grace, and grace alone,

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
—Ephesians 2:8-9

Baptism is simply a step of obedience to the Lord following our repentance and confession of sin. Our obedience--water baptism, prayer, good works, fellowship, witnessing, etc.--issues from our faith in Christ. Salvation is not what we do, but Who we have.

He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.
—1 John 5:12

But what about Mark 16:16?
Mark 16:16 quotes Jesus as saying: “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (NKJV). Does this mean that salvation is by baptism?

"In no way does this verse establish baptism as a condition for salvation; it is merely the declaration that those who believe and are baptized are saved. Any act of obedience to the Lord could be added after the expression 'whoever believes' and it would remain a true statement, because salvation is the result of faith in Christ.

It should be noted that when the Lord added, 'but whoever does not believe will be condemned,' there is no mention of baptism. In identifying what would bring about condemnation, Jesus did not say that 'whoever believes but is not baptized shall not be save.' If baptism were necessary for salvation, there are many significant verses which should be amended to read 'you are saved through faith and baptism.' It is clear that faith in Jesus Christ is what saves a person (Acts 16:30-31; Eph. 2:8-9).

Baptism is a distinct act of obedience, apart from salvation. This is clarified by the order in which the words 'believe' and 'baptize' occur in the text (cf. Acts 2:38; 10:44-48). Baptism with the Spirit places believers into the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13), while water baptism merely signifies to others that a person has professed Christ.

The word 'saved' is translated from the Greek word sesosmenoi, which is a perfect passive participle. It means that this salvation took place at some point in the past, being accomplished by Jesus Christ Himself, and is continuing on in the present." [Spiros Zodhiates, editor, The Hebrew-Greek

ookay:

He that believes and is baptised shall be saved.

where is ur scriptural reference for that

analice107:

I dont think i want to waste my time on that. Believe what you want.

it should not be a waste of time if u ve the right scriptural references for it but I guess u don't........so kindly do well to read ur bible

analice107:


Are you serious? So when was Paul baptized? when was the Ethiopian Eunuch Baptzed? was it before or after Jesus' resurrection? All the resurrections that took place in the Acts of Apostle was done before Jesus died? Na waooo.

all those ppl u are talking about, can u show me d scripture were Jesus told dem or dat day heard from Jesus that dy should baptize by water

DoctorAlien:
OlamideGirl,

"Jesus answered, 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

it will be of my interest if u read d whole chapter of john3 so as to understand what was been said

DoctorAlien:


No dear. Christians baptized even after Christ's death. Read the Bible well.

your scriptural references

analice107:

So you call Jesus a liar for telling us to preach and then Baptize in the name of the Father,Son and the Holy Ghost?

no......did d bible text include baptism by water

we are baptize in d name of d father son and holyspirit and not by water

Ioannes:


OlamideGirl, you are wrong.

All you need to do is not just believe and it isn't the only criterium. Your bible doesn't support that notion of yours either.

Baptism is what you need.

pls give me scriptural references dat says baptism is what we need

Romans1:16, Romans10:4,Romans10:8-10 all show dat all we need to do is believe

[quote author=Ioannes post=49668695]

DoctorAlien:


No dear, read Matt. 28:18-20. Jesus commanded that His followers be baptized even after He resurrected.

Come to think of it, if baptism was not necessary, why would the early Christians do it?

The early Christians did it bkus Christ has not died

Matthew 28:18-20
18Jesus approached and, [a]breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

19Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them [b]into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you [c]all the days ([d]perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. [e]Amen (so let it be).

Jesus ask us to baptize dem in d name of the father , son and holy spirit and not water

How do u get baptize by holy spirit.......it is by speaking in tongue

baptism by water is not a criteria........Jesus has paid it all........it is not d water dat u re dipped into dat will cleanse u

gedytreaure:
John 3:5 Jesus answered, 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.

That happened before Jesus died

Jesus death, burial and resurrection nullifies all dose things
All we need to do now is to believe

no......it is not a criteria cause if it is, den what did Jesus come to do den

Even d most common scripture john3:16 says for God so love the world that he gave us his only begotten son that who soever believes in him would not perish but have ever lasting life

meaning all we need to do is to believe which is the only criteria to SALVATION and ETERNAL LIFE

THIS IS ASSESSMENT ON AN INSTITUTION WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. SO NOT A DISCUSSION ON ANY POLITICAL PARTY.

21 senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.

The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).).

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.

Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US president or 9times the salary of US congressmen.
Please say NO to looting Nigeria in the name of democracy by sending this text to at least 5 others.
I think the country must have a referendum on salaries of senators. This must happen very quickly.

If the government can't we the masses must revolve

her world came crumbling when news of her husband’s
