There is no water in 1 Peter 3:21. In fact, Petere explicitly states that he is not talking about water baptism.
There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, - 1 Peter 3:21 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter3:21&version=NKJV
It's "baptism through the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
You are attempting to add your good works to Christ's completed work on the cross.
To Israel.
To Israel.
To Israel.
No one is repudiating anything.
Only rightly dividing.
Whatever that means...
You should be more concerned about your own eternal destination.
A person's race is over when they get to heaven.
No, not "church." "House."
The House of God contains both the people of the New Covenant (AKA Israel) and those in the Body of Christ (Christians).
Peter is referring to "the time of Jacob's trouble" (AKA the Great Tribulation), which definitely comes before the Bema Seat of Christ.
Remember, the Twelve Apostles agreed to go to the circumcision, while Paul goes to the uncircumcision. There's a reason Israel is called Jacob.
Where did I ever say that I don't think I will be judged?
Because I never said that.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
Your water baptism had nothing to do with it.
Just listen to yourself boast in your own achievement!
You sound like B57 and his calvinistic nonsense.
Repentance is not a gift that God gives. It's not a gift, period.
To repent means "to turn away from (something)."
Repenting from sin is turning away from sin.
But it doesn't mean that you are now sinless. And you are clearly not.
What are you, Charismatic?
The only mentions of the "gift of the Holy Spirit" I can find in the Bible have nothing to do with the Body of Christ today, and the majority of those mentions are specifically dealing with Israel and her New Covenant relationship with God.
Yes He is.
Supra.
You can stop with the mock humility.
Is that supposed to mean something?
The New Covenant has not been available to anyone since Paul was converted on the road to Damascus.
People, like yourself, think they can put themselves under it, but they're only making it harder for themselves to understand what the Bible says.
Wrong.
The "new creation" refers to those who have placed their faith in Christ.
No, you're not.
Then you clearly don't know what the New Covenant is.
No.
That's ironic.
And you apparently also put your faith in your baptism as well. Or did I misread what you said earlier?
What, exactly, if anything, do you mean when you say, "the gift of the Holy Ghost"?
Apparently lying was one of the things you learned.
That much is obvious of you.
But not fully, otherwise you wouldn't rely so much on your water baptism and other things.
Again with the mock humility.
Missing the point
Missing the point.
And it's my analogy, not yours. The point is that you CANNOT climb the rope, therefore let go of the rope and let the one who DID climb the rope carry you.
You're still trying to climb the rope.
No, it doesn't.
You're conflating two different things and calling them the same.
Faith in and of itself does nothing.
It's simply letting God into your life.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
Wrong.
Paul was not speaking SPECIFICALLY of the Mosaic law, but used it to refer to ALL law, as a whole. ANY LAW that you place yourself under, you are cursed to keep it.
This is the lesson taught by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is a symbol of the Law.
Supra.
Faith isn't doing something. It's accepting (going through the door) what Christ has done.
What I said stands.
Wrong.
Your faith is vain, because it is not solely in Christ and his completed work.
Still conflating two different things.
Off topic.
