Chart #43 A Baptist Commentary on John 3:5
John 3:5 -- "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God."
Bible Commentary:
- Ephesians 5:26 - "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word."
- 1 Peter 1:22-23 - "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the
truth through the Spirit...Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever."
Baptist Commentary:
- "The consensus of all scholars, in all ages, establishes the fact
that Baptism is the act referred to by the phrase 'Born of Water' --
and it is a Baptist doctrine." (The Tennessee Baptist, May 17, 1884)
Will My Opponent Deny Both the Bible and the Baptists?
Chart #44 My Opponent Called Me a Campbellite:
But I Challenge Him To:
- Name one thing that I was taught,
- Or one thing that I believe,
- Or a single thing that I did in becoming a Christian,
- Or one thing that I now believe, teach, or practice, that originated while
Alexander Campbell lived.
Will My Opponent Be Honorable Enough to Withdraw His False Charges Which
Blasphemes the Name of My Lord?
