Church and believers are not to judge, God and Christ will judge.

These verses deal with the duties of the Priesthood.

Indeed they do. Israel was to be the "priest nation" to the gentiles.

Exod 19:5-6 (AKJV/PCE)​

(19:5) Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: (19:6) And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. ​

Though not what New Testament baptism represents it has certain similarities.

A claim without support.

Stop making vague and unsupported CLAIMS and start making ARGUMENTS instead.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized [in water] into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

So you have to ADD water to that passage.

STOP PERVERTING THE WORD OF GOD!!!

All the Mosaic Laws concerning the Priesthood and sacrifices were made null and void by Christ, not the Ten Commandments and moral law.

More unsupported CLAIMS.... come on Dave, you have to do better!

P.S. Note that we are NOT "baptized into His DEATH" by getting WET!
Here is how we do it:

1Cor 12:13 (AKJV/PCE)​

(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.​

 

[DFT_Dave]

Eph 4:5 (AKJV/PCE)(4:5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism,1Cor 12:13 (AKJV/PCE)(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.

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts...8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 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. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

This "spiritual baptism" deals with ministries, manifestations, and gifts of the spirit. Water baptism deals with regeneration.
They are not the same thing.

You are lost Dave.

The Spiritual baptism is the entry into the body of Christ.
WE, the body of Christ, are not "regenerated" by a Jewish water ceremony.
We are saved by grace through faith and not of works.

Eph 2:8-9 (AKJV/PCE)​

(2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: (2:9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.​

When we trust in Christ, was are Spiritually baptized into His body. I hope that you will join us.

I never said that you did.

You missed my point completely. What I was saying is that you argue in this thread the same way that you did in that thread. You are blindly contrarian. You don't pay any attention to what others write, etc. etc. etc.

The earth is NOT flat Dave.

Saying "The earth is NOT flat Dave" implies that I believe in flat earth.

As to, "You are blindly contrarian", I am responding very directly to everything you are saying with verses and commentary that shows your position and arguments are wrong.

If I avoid something you have said, which is very little, it would be because I agree with you on that particular point.

Yes, if you ignore what else that I wrote before that.

Hilarious.

If I avoid something you have said, which is very little, it would be because I agree with you on that particular point.

You've thoroughly ignored the fact that the 10 commandments were given to the children of ISRAEL and not to you.

Do you follow the 10 C? Do you work for six days and then NOT work on Saturday?

Do you go to Jerusalem three times a year to partake in the feasts?

Do you not understand the difference between law and grace?

Do you not understand the difference between the ministries of the twelve and the one?

The Spiritual baptism is the entry into the body of Christ.

Agreed, I said the same thing. We are the body of Christ--1 Corinthians 12:27--with various gifts and ministries.

We are saved by grace through faith and not of works.

Agreed, we are saved through faith in Christ and not by works of the Mosaic law.

WE, the body of Christ, are not "regenerated" by a Jewish water ceremony.

Disagree, John the Baptist's baptism in water and in public view was not the Jewish ceremonial washing under the Mosaic Law for the priesthood. Washing was happening during the same time in the Temple. No one accused John, or Jesus disciples, of doing the same thing the Temple Priest was doing. His was a baptism of repentance of sins for everyone in preparation for the coming Messiah. Jesus told his disciples to do the same thing, perform water baptisms in public view, because the Messiah has come. John proclaimed, "behold the Lamb of God".

Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance [in water and in public view], saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

Baptism by water in public is an act of commitment to Christ that depicts an inward transformation, representing the washing away of sin, dying to an old life, and rising to a new life. But, baptism in water is not the means of our salvation, we are save though faith in Christ.

Jesus commanded us to believe, repent, and be baptized in water. To believe, repent, and be baptized are not works under the Mosaic law. We believe, repent, and are baptized in obedience to Christ. In water baptism we are not at work--not active--we are passive in the arms of another being put in water, like being dead and buried as Jesus was, and then being pulled out of the water, like being resurrected as Jesus was. Roman 6:3 "Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

When we trust in Christ, we are Spiritually baptized into His body. I hope that you will join us.

Being immersed into one body by the Spirit for participation in the life of the church, which is the body of Christ, (I Corinthians 12) is not the same thing as being immersed into his death by the spirit in order to obtain spiritual and eternal life. We must be baptized into his death before we can be baptized into his body. We must be born of the spirit before we can become the body of Christ.
