The Difference Between the PCI of the Merger and the Current Counterfeits

[Sabby]

It's clear we disagree on when the blood is applied to those that believe.
My position is as Abraham was justified by faith (not by entering the promised land), so are we.
Paul makes it pretty clear that our justification is credited to us on the basis of faith alone; not because we obeyed God in an act of good conscience.

Hebrews makes us to know that faith alone motivated Abraham into action, but it was not the action that saved/justified him. So it is with water baptism. It is an act of good conscience for the believer-it's what they should do-but only faith in what Jesus has done for us gives us justification.

We disagree on the "when" we are forgiven. I submit to you that with your rationale, every time a believer sins (which can happen) that when they repent/re-commit they are obligated to re-baptize. After all, isn't the blood only applied in the water?

I understand where you are coming from, but I have to respectfully disagree with your position.

My position is just as apostolic as yours, and I accept anyone that believes as you do as a brother in Christ!


Sincerely,
