Any god you worship besides the God of the bible is an idol. If the god you worship is okay with a little bit of lying, a little bit of thieving, and a little bit of fornicating. You've propped up a false god. You've made an image of god that's okay with some sins, usually the ones you're committing. You'll hear this often "the god I worship wouldn't send people to hell." That's idol worship. That's not the God who's revealed himself through scripture.
So Adam and Eve were idolatrous. By substituting their will...for God's... Really love how the definition of idolatry has expanded and conformed to these guys' personal biases, & dislikes.. Keep expanding the definition and everything is idolatry... good trick. )Word of caution,,Eve expanded God's command about eating the fruit) You don't get to qualify idolatry or modify the definition of idolatry...with 'modern day ' in front of it.
Below are three verses that tell us that under the gospel of grace we are sinless through the death of Christ on the cross. So, why be water baptized for the "REMISSION" of sins. People, we are forgiven of our sins. They have not been "put in remission" like the gospel of the kingdom under Peter and the 11. Romans 4:15 - "Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." Romans 5:10 - "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Romans 5:13 - "For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law."
@@shaynebrady3646 I am a disciple of the apostle Paul, and I want for you to know that you can never obtain forgiveness of your sins, because Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins on Calvary. Is this what you do not get? Your sins were forgiven before you were actually born. So, it is idiotic and stupid to believe that you can get forgiveness of your sins. Jumping into a baptistry will do you no good, because Christ forgave the sins of the world when He was on the cross. The Bible is very specific that Christ forgave the sins of the world. “And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Eph. 4:32). “In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Col. 1:14). “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses” (Col. 2:13). “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye” (Col. 3:13). Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. (Romans 4:15). For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10). For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (Romans 5:13). Now, if you are asking if you should believe the gospel of I Corinthians 15:1-4 and thereby obtain salvation, then yes, I would ask for you to do so. Forgiveness of sins is not conditional, but salvation is conditional.
There is only one baptism that saves us today. That is the baptism by the Holy Spirit of believers of the gospel of I Corinthians 15:1-4 into the "body of Christ."
1 Cor. 15 Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, 2 by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to [a]the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I handed down to you [b]as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, I'm curious, "Where in this passage does it say there is a baptism of the Holy Spirit?"
@@jamesstrohl2016 It is great to hear from you. I can understand you might be mistaken about salvation, since no denomination that I am aware of ever preaches on the two judgments. So first I will explain the two judgments to you. James, does your denomination preach that there are two "judgements?" James, does your denomination preach that one judgment is for the saved, and the other judgment is for the lost? James, does your denomination preach that the saved (body of Christ) will stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ and will be judged (and receive rewards) according to their works? II Corinthians 5:10: Judgment Seat of Christ - For the Saved in Christ “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” I Corinthians 3:10-15: Rewards For Our Good Works 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. James, does your denomination preach that the lost will stand before "The Great White Throne?" Revelation 20:11-12: Great White Throne - The Dead Outside of Christ Will Be Judged “And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
@@RayRay-jf5hf First I do attend a denomination and I am not part of a denomination. Secondly there is only one judgement and that is whether or not you are saved. The only way to be saved is through baptism to start with and that includes having faith. Then continue in the faith. What you are speaking of a second judgement is the reward for being faithful. If you wish to call it "the second judgement" then it is wrong. It is a reward. The passage you quoted from Revelation is for those outside the Church. Those who believed their good works would get them into Heaven.
@@jamesstrohl2016 James, I Corinthians 3:10-15 says that on the day, meaning the judgment day - that we will be judged by our works - not our sins - and even if our works are burned up, we shall still be saved. Do you disagree with I Corinthians 3:10-15?

Yes, there are false idols out there. The CoC uses their baptistry as their idol. They have replaced the cross, where our sins were forgiven (see the gospel in I Corinthians 15:1-4), with their baptistry. The Baptist Church uses their "alter" as their idol, which has replaced the cross. The Catholic Church tells you to ask for forgiveness from their priests, replacing the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Methodists have their method of salvation. In fact, all denominations are "Methodists."
It’s easy to turn religion into and idol, even atheists have their little “gods”. Baptism is an act of faith, the cross is what Jesus died on. Don’t make an idol out of ANY object
@@mathewrichards2713 The water baptism was for the gospel of the kingdom. That is why we see in Acts 1:6 - "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" We under the "gospel of grace" are spiritually baptized by the Holy Spirit into the "body of Christ."
@@mathewrichards2713 All denominations preach that you need to ask for forgiveness of your sins. Why? Our sins were forgiven on the cross. Why is it so hard for denominations to believe that Jesus Christ forgave our sins upon the cross?
I can understand where you are coming from with saying that about baptism. The one thing that really irritates me about the CoC is that they often forget to include live a faithful life. We were commanded to make disciples before getting them in the water, and then to be faithful unto death afterward. Baptism is the beginning of your walk, not the end.
@@RayRay-jf5hf what you are saying is incorrect. Remember we will all have to give an account for every idle word we speak. Our sins are washed by the blood of Jesus. How do we contact that blood? Thru baptism. How does one get into Christ? By baptism. Jesus said he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. He also said if you love me keep my commandents.
I ask the CoC to accept their spiritual baptism by the Holy Spirit into the "body of Christ." Please put away your "gospel of the kingdom" baptistry idol. Paul said that there is one baptism, and he said that it is a spiritual baptism.
@@Robert.PruettActs 11:19 - "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only." And you say that your church was started in Acts Chapter 2. Really? No Gentiles were ever preached to from Chapter 2 to Chapter 11. Oh, but you talk big talk about Cornelius, who asked Peter to come to him because God wanted the Jews to understand that He would save the Gentiles through their faith as well as the Jews through their faith. So, the Jews did not ever preach to the Gentiles. Paul is the only apostle that preached to the Gentiles. You are very lacking in Biblical knowledge. You need to believe the gospel of I Corinthians 15:1-4 so that you can be saved. Stupid is no way to be when you come before Jesus. It is much better to be saved by the gospel, and meet Jesus Christ before the Judgement Seat of Christ, than to be stupid and lost, and stand before Jesus Christ when He is on the Great White Throne. Those that believe the gospel will escape the Great White Throne Judgment because their transgressions have been paid for by Christ, as Paul mentions in Colossians 2:13-14 " And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Colossians 2:13-14. Keep denying the gospel, and you will never see the Judgement Seat of Christ - only the Great White Throne.
All examples of New Testament baptisms involved being fully submerged in water and look at the history of the early church like 100,200,300ad they all baptized with water. Continue to study and be open to what the word says not man I hope nothing but the best for you man

Those that believe the gospel will escape the Great White Throne Judgment because their transgressions have been paid for by Christ, as Paul mentions in Colossians 2:13-14 " And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" Colossians 2:13-14.
Keep denying the gospel, and you will never see the Judgement Seat of Christ - only the Great White Throne.
All examples of New Testament baptisms involved being fully submerged in water and look at the history of the early church like 100,200,300ad they all baptized with water. Continue to study and be open to what the word says not man I hope nothing but the best for you man
I would recommend watching their videos on baptism apt of great info
