    2nd time watching! Great information here. I would add this thought...the Holy Spirit works outside believers until immersion into Christ where He then works from within believers and seals them for entrance into the Kingdom...the promise is offered to all.

    I think it is important to start with what isn't considered bearing fruit. Jesus isn't talking about material possessions and physical wealth, but rather fruits of the spirit. How we approach people (with kindness, mercy, long suffering, patience and love) and helping others come to repentance and faith in Christ

    I finished viewing the remainder of your study on the history of baptism. Well done. I want to point out another significant way in which New Testament baptism differs from the Jewish ceremonial cleansings. The Old Testament washings were typically self-administered, whereas New Testament baptisms are always described in the passive voice, indicating they are performed by someone else on the convert. This makes New Testament baptism an act of submission. Not a work performed by the individual, but something done to them. When a person dies physically and their friends take their body to bury it, no one can call it a work of the one being buried. This is the true type, or picture, of the one who is baptized. Paul says that before baptism you were spiritually dead in your sins (Colossians 2:11-14). It is no more rational to call baptism a work of the person being baptized than it is to call a burial the work of the person being buried. A dead man cannot bury himself. Scripture commands believers to be baptized, not to baptize themselves. By submitting to baptism, the individual entrusts themselves to the one administering the baptism. He is buried as dead in sin, to be raised up alive in Christ. Keep up the good work.

    I know you said it, but it went by so quickly that many may miss it. We are baptized into Christ. The only concept or action in the New Testament associated with the phrase into Christ is baptism. Do you not know that all of us who have been BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST Jesus were baptized into his death? -Romans 6:3 For as many of you as were BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST have put on Christ. -Galatians 3:27 Ephesians 2:12-13 states that anyone outside of [separated from] Christ has no hope. A non-baptized Christian is a contradiction in terms. If you are not in Christ, you are not a Christian. Thanks for your study.

    If you look into Zwingli, he writes that he had a vision/dream of the true meaning of the Lords supper, and that an angel appeared to him and gave him that new revelation, and that ultimately changed his mind on the lords supper. Interesting that it took 1,500 years to finally get that revelation, but not many in the American western evangelical church know about any of this, or that there even is an opposing view of the Lords supper and baptism.

    Tertullian didn’t reject infant baptism. He preferred that infants not be baptized due to a belief that eventually turned into outright heresy by the Novations. Its was an issue concerning Hebrews 6:4-6. Once this matter was cleared up by the Church, then infant baptism was no longer an issue.

    Yes, the teaching that baptism is not essential to and not a part of the salvation process is only as old as the 16th century in Christendom. Obscure groups, such as the Cainite Gnostics, mentioned by Tertullian in his treatise, "On Baptism," were the exceptions.

      ​@@kevinhoneycutt238 I pray you read to understand Remember jesus was talking to a Jews. You are not a Jew. The Jews understand very well what jesus meant. This was about the new birth! The water refers to the spirit. The word 'and' in John means 'kai' in the greek. It means 'that is' or 'which means' in the greek when used in the context. Inorder words, except a man is born of water (that is) the spirit! Furthermore, in John 3:3, read contextually he said except a man is born again. The word "again" means "above" which means of the spirit or of heaven. We're not born of water but from above! We were born of God not of water. Think, how does the new birth does talk about taking a bath in a tank? He went further and said he that I born of flesh is flesh and he that is born of spirit is spirit. So the whole spiritual birth is spiritual! It has nothing to do with water!(John 3:6) The guy that asked the Jesus questions about the new birth abot "how can these things be" Jesus response was this John 3:12 (ACV) If I told you earthly things, and ye do not believe, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly things? So Jesus was using water to talk about the spirit! If we should take WATER literally then we should also take John 7 when jesus said "out of his belly will flow rivers of living water" literally But no it is said John 7:39 (KJV) (But this spake he of the SPIRIT, which they that believe on him should receive: for the HOLY GHOST was not yet given....)

    People make the mistake of thinking that Campbell’s teachings regarding New Testament worship were peculiar to Campbell. The fact is (and there is solid, undeniable evidence) that before Campbell ever came to America, there were Christians in America teaching and observing the same thing. They even called themselves the church of Christ. The evidence is in a book written by a man named Robert Semple called “History of the Rise and Progress of Baptists in Virginia.” The churches of Christ in Virginia and their beliefs were mentioned in the book. The book was written many years before Alexander Campbell ever came to America. There are copies of it still in existence, and it has been reprinted in recent years. It proves that what many call “Campbellism” didn’t start with Campbell at all. Not only that, but Christians believing and practicing what Campbell later taught about salvation and worship also existed throughout the history of Europe, and their existence was documented by the Catholic Church who opposed them and persecuted them heavily. There is a well-researched book called “Traces of the Kingdom” that was written by an English brother named Keith Sisman. It shows the evidence for the church, patterned after the New Testament example of the first century Christians, existing throughout Europe, long before the Protestant reformation. We are not something that evolved out of Campbell’s previous Protestant traditions as your video suggested, but something that preceded it and started on Pentecost when the apostle Peter (inspired by the Spirit of God) preached the first gospel sermon, documented in Acts 2. The church of Christ (being “of Christ” because it abides in the doctrine of Christ - 2 John 9) has existed ever since. It is not a denomination. It precedes even the concept of denominationalism.

Amongst those I know it’s 50/50 on their view of allowing instruments. IMO this is a peripheral, personal, and non salvation issue, but some certainly elevate it to a greater status.

They are not of Christ and do not have God because they “do not abide in the doctrine of Christ” (2 John 9). They have divided themselves from the body of Christ by deciding to adopt the instrument and pursue their own idea of praise to God. In doing so, they have violated 1 Corinthians 1:10. They are not the church that Jesus built. They are an inauthentic replica. True Christians can have no fellowship with them (Ephesians 5:11)

      Aletheia8054 Come on, please be serious. It says to “teach one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” How do you do that without vocalizing the words? You’ve distorted the sentence structure, too. “Sing” (one command. “AND make melody in your hearts” (another command, linked to the first). It has to do with the song meaning something to you in your heart - the heart being the spiritual instrument. It never mentions God desiring or authorizing a mechanical instrument in Christian worship. Look up the history of the use of mechanical instruments in worship. Note when it started and who started it (hundreds of years after the first century). Note how none of the groups that emerged from the Protestant reformation used instruments in their worship until almost three centuries later (1800’s). Look up what preachers like Wesley and Spurgeon wrote about using instruments in worship. The churches of Christ didn’t invent the concept of not using mechanical instruments in worship. We just held firm to the faith when the denominations started adopting that modern practice. We stayed with the Bible teaching and didn’t “go too far” (2 John 9) when others abandoned the practice that they had previously believed was right. Now you can go on UA-cam and see a T.D. Jake’s video where he has a young woman on stage “twerking for Jesus.” That’s what worship eventually devolves into when we abandon the idea of citing scriptural authority. “Whatever you do in word or in deed, do everything in the name [meaning by the authority] of the Lord, Jesus.” (Colossians 3:17).

    "Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, "From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water." ' But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39). Baptized in water, Jesus was anointed, receiving the Holy Spirit. Precisely the same pertains to us in baptism (and additionally, the baptismal entrance into the New Covenant brings the cleansing from sins).

    A person must be baptized to be saved, but it has nothing to do with water. The proof is found below. Eating Kosher is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Circumcision of male children is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Trimming your beard according to the Law of Moses is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Water baptisms were a part of the Old Covenant, but they are not required under the New Covenant. The proof is found below. John baptized with water. Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Which one is related to salvation, based on Romans 8:9? . Heb. 9:10 (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them . (Old Covenant ------> New Covenant) . Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (What is the one baptism of our faith here, based on Eph. 1:12-13, and 1 Cor. 12:13?) . Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, . 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. . Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. . Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. . Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (See Mark 1:8.)

They still had to be baptized in water however according to Acts 10:47 in order to be saved.

      Splitting "water baptism" from "Spirit baptism" is just an argumentative dodge by those who are plainly wrong. James D. G. Dunn once popularized the malarkey.

    I don't have to delve into what these fellows believed. I need to delve into the scriptures to become informed by God. The function of Baptism was made simple to believe but was continually fleshed out beyond John's (the Baptizer) call to be baptized and Peter's call to be Baptized more specifically in the Name of Jesus Christ. They were both upon repentance for the remission of sins. Mark 1:4 can dispel the notion that the Greek word 'eis' in Acts 2:38 means because of. Furthermore, denying Baptism's role in salvation is not so much a disbelief as it is having fallen prey to a deception. The foundation of Baptism's function is based on what the scriptures say about it. If you base your baptism on something not in scripture then it really isn't obedience and it really isn't a baptism. It MUST be in scripture for it to be a legitimate matter of faith. For instance an outward sign of what has already occurred in the heart. That's not in scripture anywhere. Baptism is an instruction that is to be obeyed motivated by faith. If you are doing it for your outward show you are missing the biblical reason for doing it. Much the same as when Jesus says do your praying in secret and when God hears your prayer in secret he will answer it openly. 1 Peter 3 does not say that baptism represents anything. It says that our baptism saves us much the same as Noah and his family were saved by water. Later passages tell us what Baptism represents like Romans chapter 6. In Romans 6 we see no such relegation of baptism to denominationalism's disfunctional understanding. No Baptism serves as a grave for the man of sin in us that by faith we recon to be dead. We direct this profession toward God... God is the audience. And God seeing us acting in faith by that faith he changes his mind about us and adopts us into his family and grants us the seal of the indwelling spirit. In baptism, it is God who is doing the work. We are making an appeal to him by faith and he is granting that request.

    It's so crazy learning about these latter-day (1800s) debates, pretty much the same as the old "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin" arguments from Medieval times. Like, why should anyone care what a Bronze Age text says in the first place? It's just "chasing after wind". I guess one positive effect, if one can call it that, is that the infighting between Christians does tend to keep them off the streets.

      Yes the infighting over peripherals has been unfortunate. I believe the benefit of caring what a text says is that we can learn from the past. Also, when it comes to being true to the Bible, we need to consider ancient texts. It’s similar to reading articles by James Madison in order to get a better understanding of the US Constitution which is still relevant to us today.

      That’s a great verse! To follow Him, we must know our priority and embrace our personal cross, in loving God more than anything (to the degree that it almost seems like we hate others in comparison) we actually come to love others even more, as Jesus honored his own family.
