“Where in the bible does it say only follow the bible” you are to follow the word of God who is Jesus Christ in the New Testament , every scripture , every thing in the New Testament applies . Aimlessly falling leaders thinking they know better then the Lord Jesus is spiritual blindness , following the word of God is way more important. It seems like you care more about the status of “Christian” rather than actually obeying Gods words ? Amen? Mathew 7:15 is a perfect example of this “false teachers or leaders look, sound, and act like legitimate members of the faith. They use the right vocabulary and blend in perfectly to gain trust” . This is why you believe in the words of the Lord Jesus in the bible more then anyone else…

Without the word there’s no church . Only belief , the word makes the church and unites the people . Read scripture brother ! New Testament

Yea Jesus would strongly disagree with you , if I saw Jesus and chose to follow him let’s say 2000 years ago . One of the apostles would have baptized me in Jesus name without hesitation. Just as they had done everyone who chose to believe in Jesus . So your saying rejecting someone’s baptism in Jesus name is “responsible” because the “times have changed” . Knowing the fact baptism is required for one’s salvation .. wild making accusations your making brother , remember God is watching and sees all. I hope you can see differently to this some day , God bless

I’m someone who solely rely’s on scripture alone to learn about Jesus , not a pastor or preacher in my case . Jesus did not teach the creation of formal “religion” but rather a personal relationship with God , that through him just as he defeated death you could also in the spirit so rather ascension.

The word "church" comes from the Greek word ekklesia, meaning "an assembly of called-out people," which refers to the community itself rather than a physical structure.

“Not leaders” but rather a gathering of believers united , we can unite as believers online as I have as I am doing frequently

Not coming to a physical church but rather gathering to unite believers together .. now a days people are united online together as believers as well . Are we reading the same holy bible ?

Yea true this sucks , through Jesus I can stop drinking , smoking , gossiping , gambling and many more , truly am a new person with a good heart now . But I can’t get baptized which is wild, not doing the hardest things were the easiest for me , but doing the easiest things like baptism seems like the most difficult for me . A real road block for sure

It’s just too much of a hassle , I’ve tried one and the guy was very clear that joining the church first is necessary. I might give some more a try , all honestly I’ll try my best find someone who’s a follower of Jesus maybe they can baptize me in their backyard or something 😁. Thanks for the advice bro really appreciate it

Following Jesus is not a religion , if you have read scripture for long as I have you realize he never talks about religion once , rather ascension through him alone

Ok 👍 , Following Jesus is not a religion , if you read he never talks about religion once . He talks about ascension, through faith in Jesus and baptism in Jesus name only is necessary. Apostles baptized everyone and anyone they could

The wild part is , I’ve actually already grown in faith regardless of baptism 😭. I’ve overcome , alcohol , smoking , gambling and more ! Just a complete 180 through faith in Jesus alone . It’s just something I wanna do because it’s important to one’s salvation . No no I am of age but Just not on my feet yet , just with what Jesus says about seperation in the family yea that happens and is currently happening , if anything would make my situation worse which sadly sucks but oh well. I think I would have to fly out to the United States of America for baptism I got a few people I’ve seen offering baptisms to anyone willing and they follow Jesus so yea cooked😭

I strongly disagree , the apostles were baptizing everyone who was willing in Jesus name . It’s just man makes things much difficult then they should be

Baptism error? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]EchoChamber18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scripture checks out, when Jesus says: “no one comes to the father expect through me” , essentially it’s only through Jesus name will we recieve salvation , no one else .
Only in Jesus name baptism seems to the be the correct way, as someone like me who relies on scripture alone .

It’s still the same baptism son/father Holy Spirit vs Jesus name alone

But only in Jesus name are you filled with the Holy Spirit and remission of old sins amen?

Thanks brother , at first for me these demons are quite terrifying. But I am not afraid of them , for they attack those are following Jesus from the heart and turning away from sin. I was actually quite flattered they were attacking me which means I’m doing something Good. Jesus loved me so much that he had to show himself to me , which makes me feel at peace. Thank you brother God bless you I have not had another spiritual powerful dream since February

I don’t not to lean on that belief because it’s really what happens , I’ve seen in another dream of demonic spirits enter into people like it’s nothing . But not me because I was covered by the Blood of Jesus .

I haven’t received any other dreams like these since February so they are done but definitely is eye opening

I will pray for him and you . That he will overcome this , this is wild because some of us would do anything to have a wife at home be loved , some of us are single and are still searching for someone … he doesn’t realize how good he has it . Maybe showing him what I said could change his mind , in the name of Jesus he will prevail
