- In this video, we examine a passage that is commonly cited by proponents of baptismal regeneration. Is Jesus referring to water baptism when He says, "ye must be born again"? What does the Bible say? I pray this teaching provides clarity and dispels any confusion concerning this subject. God bless! - OD

Thanks for watching! Show some class in the comments (Colossians 4:6), and pray that Sam will reconsider and repent.
You’re a hypocrite for real. You deleted my comments which didn’t violate any type of community guideline, yet you kept up the comments of someone calling me a clown.
Even your title to this video shows how simple minded you have to be to hold to your theological paradigm because orthodox, Coptics and some branches of Protestantism believe in water baptism.
That’s called the boogeyman fallacy brother.
You should read Martin Luther's exposition of Baptism in his Large Catechism. It is free online.
@@fkahairuonerom8027 Debate him if I balls? 😂
I was an ardent believer in baptismal regeneration. Acts 2:38 was my John 3:16 salvation verse.
Once I came to salvation by faith alone in Christ alone I understood the act of baptism didn’t save me.
The conversion of Cornelius helped confirm my newfound faith in Christ.
He simply heard the gospel and was filled with The Holy Spirit.
Galatians says we HEAR, believe and receive The Spirit.
Thank you for your ministry of clarity!
If I may ask, what convinced you that Cornelius wasn't someone God just extended grace to? What denomination did you follow?
@@JustDoit-lz8ihWhy would God pardon some people and not others? All men equal under God, why would He make some people do things for salvation while others don't? It wasn't like Cornellius was in any form of danger either, nothing stopped him from being water baptized

43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
(Acts 10:43-46 KJV)
Notice here.... Cornelius and his household have already received the Holy Spirit.... No mention of water baptism yet..... But wait.... There's more. 😂
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
(Acts 10:46-47 KJV)
Notice that? They had the Holy Spirit before they were baptized. How do you receive the Holy Spirit?
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON HIS NAME: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(John 1:11-13 KJV)
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
(Eph 1:12-13 KJV)
To believe one must be baptized in water to be saved is a damnable heresy!
@@JustDoit-lz8ihGod extended the same grace that is available to all of us. The grace that is only obtained by faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9.
To reject this grace and think that you must add works including baptism to it all send you to hell if you die in that belief.
Didn't Peter also say who can forbid water and still baptized Cornelius 🤔
Let's pray Sam gets this rebuke and humbles himself to the true gospel.
only God can provide an increase... sam shamoun humbling himself??? LULZ that is a funny joke.

This true Gospel?..
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_ (Note: Washing of regeneration is literally another word for Baptism. It's all over the Early Church writings too.)
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_ (Note: "Baptism now saves you"... plain and simple.)
I am thankful for God saving me from all my sins. I was a homosexual and a witch that was forgiven from all my sins by grace through faith. No spells or rituals could justify me and loving a man erotically couldn't save me either only the Son of God who is truly man and truly God. He is my true love, savior, and King. He did all the work when He died on the cross and He was buried and resurrected on 3rd day.
God bless you.
@@ihiohoh2708 Thank you, Brother. May God bless you.
Being able to be humble enough to set aside that pride and declare Christ is Lord and the savior is something few like you is able to accomplish, and its very encouraging to us all. He who sineth much is forgiven much. God's Blessings and strength be with you.
@tomcatpurr Thank you, Brother in Christ. I was a very prideful person. I hated God so much because homosexuality was a sin. My soul craved to worship gods that wasn't the Biblical God. I worshipped in a goddess who I viewed as a mother, which I now know was demonic. It was through her that I opened a portal in my room and body. It was fine at first, but I started to be very depressed, anxious, and have panic attacks. I would wake up and feel spirits touching me and felt violated. One day, my conscious, which i believed was God warned me to come out from under these demonic spirits, or they will eventually kill me. I knew this had to be God. I opened my bible, and there was scripture about sorcery , spells, and idolatry. It was Isaiah chp .46 and chp 47. It hit me like bricks that I was committing sin. I eventually was on my knees one night ,feeling all the burdens weighing down on me and begging God to forgive me of all my sins. I felt a peace in my soul. I knew that I was saved . I trusted that only Jesus could save me. I am not perfect, but I do know that I am justified and the Holy Spirit working in me of my sanctification process. I am slowly humbled and thankful for what he has done for me.

Your new birth is Spiritual and absolutely cannot sin.
Wrong, water doesn’t mean baptism or flesh birth.

@@ihiohoh2708no. He's a calvinist. Stop.
The sinner on the cross with Jesus was NOT BAPTIZED BUT Jesus told him he would be in paradise with him that day!
You don’t know he wasn’t baptized, you assume so
Plus he only asked to be remembered
And Christ went to the grave that day
You don’t understand that account
@@briankregg6329then If he was saved and baptized yet still remained a thief on the cross ready to be killed for his crimes and Jesus still told him despite of all sinning he did.. that he was saved…
Something Sam also said can’t be done. “You can’t go on living the way you want”. “Grace is not a license to sin” etc..
This is why things like this exist in scripture, it puts a dagger into the works based argument. No matter which way you look at it, same is either wrong about 1 or the other or both. In this case it’s both.
God doesn’t put things like this in scripture just for the fun of it. It’s there for a reason. The reason being, it tells you that someone can still be saved on there death bed yet living like such a bad person would warrant them to be crucified. Then for those who try to say water baptism is required, shows the thief did not get back off the cross to be water baptized. That and lived their life that shows someone can live like a sinner despite still being saved and baptized prior if that is what people try to imply
@@briankregg6329 you've got to be kidding me.... Where did he have an opportunity to be baptized whilst up O. The cross?
@@briankregg6329 Christ went down to paradise where the old testament saints awaited his coming. On the third day after Jesus Ressuerected, Jesus brought them up with him. He led the captives out of captivity.
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

(Eph 4:8-10 KJV)
Sam completely ignores the entire context of the discussion between Jesus & Nicodemus. Simply reading the entire passage explains it clearly as addressed by Onorato in this video.
But again Sam uses his old Calvinist tricks and cherry picks verses to support his argument.
He's not a Calvinist.
@@ihiohoh2708 he used to be.
- Matthew 3 : 11
I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
I deeply appreciate your videos!
All praise and glory to God forever and ever.
Maranatha!
Agree, not John the Baptist but Jesus can give life to whomever he will.
Except that following Nicodemus's talk, Christ kept on water-baptizing with His apostles, meaning that Water Baptism wasn't at all obsolete once Christ began His ministry. The difference being that now -- through Christ's own baptism, the water became sanctified. Those who took _this_ baptism were now receiving the Holy Spirit _through_ this sacrament.
Here are the verses making this very clear:
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_ (Note: Washing of regeneration is literally another word for Water Baptism. It's all over the Early Church writings too.)
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_ (Note: "Baptism now saves you"... plain and simple.)
We are born again by the Word and the Spirit. For faith comes by the hearing of the gospel, and through faith, we receive the promise of the Spirit.
If you are to believe scripture for what it says, you cannot say what you said. Baptism is the "HOW" we receive it. To praise and hear God's words comes with the bundle. Remember how the Holy Spirit manifested itself as a dove only *when* Christ received His baptized? (Which He did to sanctify the waters of the earth, preparing it for us to follow, and unite under His baptism)
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_

Once a child of God always a child of God 💓🙏
I hope you are right!
NO! Once Saved always Saved is WRONG. It does not Work this way. Who ever is telling you this is teaching you False Teachings.
go ahead, call god beelzebul then. go and commit nothing but sins and dont repent. we will see how long your thesis lasts.
Thats not biblical at all. In fact the Jews talking to Jesus sure thought that, they said God was their father and Jesus told them that their father was the devil.
Perfectly stated and presented. Thank you for posting these. So many Christians need this content. So much deception and misinterpretation of scripture out there.
Wow! That was a really bad argument from Sam. He completely ignored the clarification in verse 6. Born of the flesh is compared to being born of the water. This contrast is clear. The born of the water is our first birth, our physical birth, and the born of the spirit is clearly referring to our second birth, our spiritual birth (born from above). Whoever taught Sam this sloppy argument needs to give Sam his money back. Bad teaching! Sam can get away with this from a random caller, but not against somebody fluent in soteriology.
It's Born of water...AKA Amniotic fluid. Like, when a woman gives birth, her "water breaks"....The first birth....
Then, when you believe Jesus died for your sin, the very moment your are sealed by the Spirit. The second birth.
Yep. Ephesians 1:13.
No amniotic fluid here. Just water and spirit.
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:13, 16-17).😊
@@andrewg9894yeah, I haven’t even heard of being born of water meaning natural birth.. why would nicodemus use that as an example then
This is a great biblical interpretation of baptism. Unfortunately Sam is typically interpreting scripture out of context.
He focuses on one particular verse and reads INTO it so he can get what he wants OUT of it, instead of allowing the following verses to interpret themselves.
Water baptism does NOT save anyone.
It is Christ that saves and it is by His sacrifice on the Cross that He accomplishes the victory over both objective sin and its accompanying subjective sins.
" you must be born again " this birth is by the Spirit.
This is regeneration. There is NO water here. The spiritual revelation of who Christ is, brings about regeneration.
Babies being baptised with water is NOT regeneration.
Thankyou for this vid. God bless you.
The first letter of Peter mentions the event of the flood, “…in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you...” (3:20-21).
@@andrewg9894 Here the comparison is between water which saves on one spiritually, and spiritual baptism (1 Cor 12:13), whereby one is, by the Holy Spirit, engrafted, dipped (baptised) into the body of Christ.

Christ instituted baptism, so yes Christ saves you.
And now that my brain switch has flipped to belief in God I don’t have to do anything else. I can’t undo my new adoption into Christ. Going to church seems so religious. It’s not about what I do it’s about what Christ did. Doing religious things over and over is vain repetition. God is all knowing. He knows I am His. I’m a member of the invisible Church which is perfect since I’m an introvert. God knows my mind too. My prayer starts in my mind. I never have to even move my lips to pray because God knows my thoughts. And as soon as He sees my thought/prayer any other asking is utter unbelief. And unbelief in a believer is an oxymoron. It’s not about a religion it’s about a relationship. And a relationship happened in my brain via my ears via a man preaching. A forever relationship. That doesn’t require anything on my part but the faith part/ brain switch. If I try to love God then thats works based. Can I earn anything based on my works? Is this God’s work plus my work? No. Faith alone in Christ alone. This is not about what I do. It’s about what He has done. I’m a filthy rag with a switched brain like snow covered dung. I thank God I don’t have to look all religious and fake. I can be invisible in my invisible church. That love and prayer and posturing is an excess possible sacrilegious man made work if I don’t guard against a Pharisee mindset. Baptism is a work for the other invisible church members to see that my brain belief switch has flipped like theirs. It’s unnecessary since the thief on the cross didn’t need it. God is no respecter of persons. Is the thief better than me? Well you may say baptism is a testimony. For who? God sees my heart. To perform a purely symbolic gesture as a testimony is so ritualistic and anti faith alone. Now God wants me jumping through symbolic hoops to add to the finished work at Calvary? When I take symbolic crackers and Welch’s grape juice in my home is that for you or for me? Do you need to see me do this to prove through a ritual that I’m an adopted son? How institutional and religious are you? Symbolism is really only to remember what He did. For now my memory is good. For some of you I’ve seen you get water baptized several times. Maybe your memory is bad and need the constant affirmation through a religious act that has now become repetitious like all your other accretions. Don’t put God in your religious box, big box (churches) or small box (mindset). The Holy Spirit brings freedom.
Sam must be catholic then because Catholics believe you need to be baptized as well.

Born of WATER 💦 is the first birth of the flesh and born of spirit is the second birth of the spirit.
“that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,„
Ephesians 5:26 KJV
“being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.„
1 Peter 1:23 KJV
-> water referring to the word of god.
TRUTH TRANSCENDS traditions forever!!! YHWH NISSI!!! Praise IS HIS name!!! GOD bless
I absolutely agree that the use of water in verse 5 does correlate to Ch 4 and the living water. I have always found it amazing that in the Gospel of John, the Apostle John had no problem using the word "baptize", "baptizest" and "baptizing" is found in Ch 1, then "baptized", "baptizing" and "baptizeth" in Ch 3. If the use of water in John 3:5 meant baptize, why wouldn't Jesus use the word baptize there? Jesus had no problem using the word in reference to the baptism of John in Matt. 21:25 and in other places.
”and after he brought them out [of the inner prison], he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus [as your personal Savior and entrust yourself to Him] and you will be saved, you and your household [if they also believe].”
Acts 16:30-31 Amplified Bible
:33 baptized right away (baptism was not mentioned), :34 "rejoice" after baptism. Acts8:30-39, again baptism was not mentioned yet the eunuch said here is water....after baptism Phillip left (his job was done) the eunuch went home "rejoicing". Naaman 2Kings5...baptized in the dirty river of Jordan THEN his leper skin was as white as snow. Baptism is a rite yet a part of the package of salvation, an act of submissive obedience not just the oral confession.
Then there's Mark 16:16, people keep trying to separate Gospel teachings as if they aren't correlated; they go together if You're saved you will go do what the Lord has commanded, and be baptized by water and Spirit, Nicodemus's understanding was that he thought he had to go back into his mother's womb, because he didn't understand what Jesus meant, Jesus then said by water and Spirit (Baptism). If you truly believe then you'll do whats required.
Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus' last words to his disciples before ascending to heaven were, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you"
Amen! Once sealed, always sealed (Eph 4:30)!
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Thank you brother!
A better question to ask is not why baptism isn’t explicitly mentioned in passages that seem to imply that “belief” is all that is required for our justification, but rather, why IS baptism mentioned in passages that tie it to our justification?
In other words, you won’t find a single passage in Sacred Scripture that mentions baptism and negates its salvific efficacy.
You will, however, find a number of passages in Sacred Scripture that tie baptism to our justification.
Lastly, in one of numerous examples, St. Paul takes it for granted that believing and being baptized are part of the same thought and action. Hence in Acts 19 he asks, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you BELIEVED?”
“No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Then notice how in his reply, St. Paul ties belief with baptism, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
Whenever St. Paul mentions “believing in Christ,” he takes for granted that believing is tantamount to having been baptized.
And this is precisely what EVERY Christian believed prior to the “reformation.”
Amen bros! God bless
I no longer believe the same things that I did when I first got saved. The Lord in his mercy and patience has caused me to grow, which involved some pruning.
Let me just suggest that when we pondering issues we start the process with a prayer for Holy Spirit to guide us to the truth. Let us err on the side of grace, when it involves others.
I am very thankful I came across this brother / channel.
was it the spirit or you getting protestant heretics recommended in your youtube inbox?
Praise God for your channel brother. Keep it up in the strength of the LORD. Maranatha.
John 3:3-5 connects with 1 John 5:4-5!
1 John 5:4-5 KJV:
4 4 For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?
Once you believe on Jesus Christ (The Eternally Existing Son of God, God The Son, Savior, Christ) promises eternal life ONCE you believe he died for your sins, was buried, rose again the 3rd day, you have eternal life, you're saved forever. Once Saved Always Saved!
Amen! 🙌🏻
Amen !!! 🙏🏿
Jude warned about you grace abusers who would turn the grace of God into laciviousness. Once saved always saved is a doctrine of devils. You sound like the serpent who said the same thing to eve in the garden
The first letter of Peter mentions the event of the flood, “…in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you...” (3:20-21).
This!
Sad to see nobody paid attention to this OBVIOUS truth.
Here's some more ammo for you. Fire away.
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_
The Apostle Peter taught, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). Following Paul's conversion, Ananias said to him, “Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins” (Acts 22:16).
In Matthew 28 Jesus said, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” So it sounds as if Christians are expected to obey Jesus and get baptized.
Jesus cant be wrong...

@@OnoDiamante im not arguing that the act of faith and repentance isnt literally how Christ is able to save our souls...my point is Christ Himself, no matter how you disect His words and scriptures, commanded us all to go and be baptized...to simply argue baptism isnt what saves you is missing the point...to boil these scriptures and ideas, and the life we are to lead in Christ, down to one word, itd be obedience...Jesus clearly commands us to obey and just as clearly commands us to be baptized....so we should be if we love Him and want to obey Him, which a saved person would want to do...are there exceptions??? Sure, the thief on the cross that confessed to Jesus was saved, but obviously Jesus wasnt going to climb down, remove His new friend from his cross and go baptize him. Clearly it is faith and repentance that allow God and His Holy Spirit to change our hearts and be born again but to down play baptism as something "unnecessary " is dangerous and borderlines direct disobedience
@@OnoDiamante and to counter your point on the acts 22 video...Jesus did send him and one can argue he was saved at that point but to my point he went and was baptized...He OBEYED Jesus bc that is what Jesus commands...again...it is very misleading to just tell ppl theyre saved once they acknowledge and accept Christ into their hearts bc Jesus Himself preached obedience Over and Over and Over...Jesus was baptized not bc it was fun, or fullfilled a clever analogy of washing sins away, He did it to set an example as He always did...James 2 24, sir
James 2:24
This is why you can't look at one side of verses. Luckily Peter spoke about this directly. 1st Peter 3 verse 21. This water symbolizes baptism that now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience towards God. Not the removal of dirt from the body that saves you, or in other words not the water because that's a symbol just like it was in the old testament , parting the water, Noah's family, Moses and the rock, it was all pointing to Jesus
Amazing breakdown brother.Amen
@2:05 * Preparation for the Holy Spirit? How come gentiles can already have the Holy Spirit without being baptized yet?:
Acts 10:45-48 ESV
[45] And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.
[46] For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,
[47] “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
[48] And HE COMMANDED THEM TO BE BAPTIZED in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.
the same Holy Spirit for the prophets in old testament, they were magical spirit we can't explain by any bible verse only God know. But the same question will appear, how did the prophets of old testament had holy spirit? the answer is what i have said before it is not explainable in this verse we can know the exact answer later in that day we have been waiting for.
they could be baptized spirtually by God which eye can't see, but in New Testament we have to baptized physically
In the context… Nicodemus had no idea what Jesus did after their conversation.
Thank you so much Lord Jesus
Thanks ono god bless 🇨🇦❤️
Judgement day: but I got baptized in water!
Jesus: I know not you not, depart from me!
It's just the beginning, one has to live the Christlike life (obedient until death). Confess with the mouth (even perform miracle in Jesus's name) but the heart is not in it then baptism is meaningless but a merely getting wet.
Jesus Christ is the living Water. What did he tell the woman at the well?
I think that he is a catholic, because i heard him telling a woman that was confused about her faith to go to the catholic church and learn from them. I also think that he is a charismatic catholic.
Baptismal regeneration has been taught throughout the entire history of the Church and in the epistles also.
How do you explain Acts 8:14-16? The people in Samaria were baptized in the name of Jesus, but hadn't received the holy ghost yet. Were they saved at that time?
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Lets not attack sam for this belief as then you are attacking all the church fathers in the original churches because they all believed and baptismal regeneration even some of the earliest disciples like polycarp who came right after John who was a disciple of John
With all respect, you would not survive in a debate with Sam with this poor argumentation
God bless you brother, so usefull videos!
Amen so grateful and sorry for being late 😊🙏 I had a busy day 💤😔
“that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,„
Ephesians 5:26 KJV
“being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.„
1 Peter 1:23 KJV
-> water referring to the word of god. You must be born again by the word and the spirit, -> by the word(Jesus) and the spirit(holy ghost)-> “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,„
Ephesians 1:13 KJV
The new birth is a work of Jesus and the the Holy Spirit.
Wouldn't every believer be baptized? I understand baptism without faith is pointless, but i also believe faith without baptism is disobedience to the One who commanded it.
To me it seems that it is intertwine, the ones that reject baptism, their faith has to be questioned.
God bless you for teaching people the truth!! ❤️🙏
According to the Bible, believers receive the Holy Spirit when they are born again, or when they believe in Jesus Christ as their savior. The New Testament teaches that the Holy Spirit is received immediately upon belief, and there is no need to wait or plead for it. Some say that the Holy Spirit is present in our lives at the moment of salvation
If we BELIEVE in Jesus, we must then listen and obey him. Does he not command us at the end of Matthew to go out and make disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
For what reason would He command us to do so then if it was not vital for our salvation?
John baptized people onto repentance, it's God who Baptized us in the Holy Spirit Sealed till the day of Redemption
Hallelujah. Praise Jesus 🙌🏼🩵✝️
We were all born in sin and we all need the spiritual birth or being born again.. Jesus alone is the Holy One. He was baptized in order to fulfill all righteousness. Babies are never baptized but dedicated into various denominations and organizations and fellowships. . We only baptize believers. He that believes and is baptized will be saved Mark 16:15-20 Salvation is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Being baptized into Christ Jesus for the remission of sins always followed immediately after believing and repentance. We’re then filled with the Holy Spirit by asking Jesus to fill us with His Holy Spirit
Facts! God bless you
In Mark he says " he that believeth and is baptised is saved,he that believeth not is damned. Paul says water baptism was about jesus death burial and ressurrection.

Wow, there is no end to these false teachers ( like Sam ). Ask 100 professing christians " what must a person do to be saved " and you will get 47 different answers. Christians cannot agree on the condition required for eternal salvation. Really sad. Good job Ono !
What seems apparent to me, is that every ritual that was revealed unto men.. was given because of unbelief.
Circumcision was a sign of the Covenant..
Water Baptism is also a sign of the confession of faith.
The things that matter, are the things not seen by human eyes. Belief/faith..
Yet man, being prone to idolatry has worshipped the signs/rituals themselves, not understanding their purpose. Just as man worshipped the host of heaven instead of God.. or the celestial bodies.. the works of their hands.. or the countless other things man has chosen to trust in vainly.
That's another gospel Sam, which is not another. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved
luke 23: 39-43 Is all you need to dismantle this claim.
Unfortunately, no response to why He apparently told His disciples to baptise in water.
Unless We are Born Again (Saved by CHRIST) Baptism means nothing. Baptism hade Never been a Requirement for Salvation.
The best gospel preacher. Keep it up, doing a great job in exposing false Gospels, you have helped me a lot. Thank you ❤
Sam is mixing and conflating the old testiment in the way of salvation with the new testiment.
Water Baptism was a prerequisite or work for salvation before the cross. This side of the cross, the only prerequisite is BELIEF in Jesus and His finished work.
Hey brother, one of the commandments says we should not bear false witness. The bible says baptism now saves you, what you should do is to explain what that means instead of slandering Sam Shamoun. Im not even saying agree with what he says, he simply said that John 3:5 refers to water baptism, if he is wrong then correct him, dont slander his name
In what way did I slander him?
1 Peter 3:21 -> ruclips.net/video/5-IOSK5jWd4/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@OnoDiamante sir, if you disagree with Sam Shamonn on baptism, you can simply say "Sam Shamoun is wrong about baptism, here is why". What does the Pope and Roman Catholicism have to do with anything?
Lutherans also believe in baptismal regeneration, are you going to accuse them of being undercover Roman Catholics? I don't get why you saw the need to involve the Roman Catholics to paint Sam Shamoun in a certain light.
Anyways it's just some positive feedback, the link you sent does clear up your view, thanks for that, but it doesn't take away from the approach you took on this video
@OnoDiamante are you saving baptism by water is not what scripture teaches?
@@OnoDiamante
Those.
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_ (Note: Washing of regeneration is literally another word for Baptism. It's all over the Early Church writings too.)
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_ (Note: "Baptism now saves you"... plain and simple.)
Acts 10:43-48 KJV: (43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.) They received the Holy Spirit, and THEN were baptized after. This already debunks Sam Shamoun. Hope this helps someone who needs to show someone that baptism isn't required for Salvation, and may God bless you all!
LOL at believing that its a matter of being splashed by water, rather than a matter of the heart!
“There is also an antitype which now saves us - baptism ( not the removal of the fifth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,”
1 Peter 3:21 Here it says Baptism is an antitype. What’s is an antitype? A thing resembling a type or symbol. How can water baptismal save if it’s an antitype?
I call this paying attention to immediate context. Born of water is being born of flesh. This Sam guy jumps all over the place and strings verses together. How blind can one be?
Jesus is the living water we are baptized into. Thank God. This scared me for a second.
Amen Brother.
Great teaching the born of water is also a Jewish expression for physical birth obviously one must first go thru the physical birth before one can then consider spiritual birth or born again. The term born again is a term Nicodemus would have understood from a Jewish Pharisaic frame of reference as Born Again in the their mindset also mean 6 things 1) When Gentiles converted to Judaism 2) When one is crowned a King 3) A Jewish boy at their Bar Mitzvah when they turn 14 4) When one is married is said to be born again 5) Ordained as a Rabbi 6) Head of a Rabbi School (Nicodemus is said to be a Ruler of the Jews). Nicodemus qualified for four of these things but not the first two, he would have gone through his list of "being Born Again" and reached a conclusion which prompted him to ask an odd question "Do I have to re-enter my mums womb again?". Another way to look at Jesus Born of Water re physical is that Jesus may have also addressed the incorrect Pharisaic theology that said and taught that all Jews born physically from the seed of Abraham would have automatic entry into the kingdom. Jesus dispels this error by saying that one must be born again meaning believing in His Son the famous John 3:16 which also stipulated that whosoever believes meaning the whosoever is not exclusive to Jews only or even their status in society but those that put their faith and belief in the Messiah Yeshua the Christ.
I can’t stomach this guy Sam’s arrogance
Fruit of the pagan cult of trinitarianism
he's a deviI. I have so much stories of him abusing new Christians.
Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus' last words to his disciples before ascending to heaven were, "Go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you"
1 Peter 3:21
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Acts 8:30-36
30 So Philip ran up to it and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. He asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ 31 He replied, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to get in and sit beside him. 32 Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this:
‘Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and like a lamb silent before its shearer,
so he does not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.’
34 The eunuch asked Philip, ‘About whom, may I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?’ 35 Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. 36 As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, ‘Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?’[a]
This is where we can understand a mother’s ‘waters’ break just before birth, thus being ‘born of water’.
Amen and Thank you !!!
I like Sam Shamoun very much , but remember that he is a man, and like all of us , has preconceived ideas and unconscious desires for the Holy scriptures to mean what we would like it to mean. We’re all guilty of that , I would encourage all to watch Sam Shamoun on utube , he’s a good teacher.
Belief equals obedience.
Christ says to be baptized.
Water baptism absolutely does not save you. That’s a work
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.
Believing your works can save you and taking away the entire reason Jesus came to earth in the first place Is denying Gods sacrifice to us and relying on our works to save us rather than the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross.
Don’t believe works save you. Works is the by product of faith it proves faith but it’s not what saves. God bless
so much wrong with this comment... do you even understand what ur saying? first of all you clearly didnt even watch the video because this guy says ur not saved by water baptism and ur saved by faith... second of all, u dont even have the gospel... u need to stop trying to falsely teach and read up. u say we aren't saved by works, and that ur saved by faith... but then u say u dont have faith unless u do works, because u said "works are the byproduct of faith" which is completely unbiblical... so therefore ur saying that ur only saved if u do works... so then ur saying that ur saved by ur own works + faith... but the bible says "if it is of grace, then is it no more of work"... ur not trusting and believing in jesus, ur trusting in yourself... u are falsely backloading works on the gospel... and if u see many unsaved deceived people do works because they trust in themselves and not jesus, and if works arent what saves u then how are works proof that ur saved? the bible says we are justified by our faith, and not by our works... what ur saying doesnt make any sense..
Baptism is not something we do it is something the Lord does for us.
The first letter of Peter mentions the event of the flood, “…in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you...” (3:20-21).
I don’t know if what I’m saying is right. It just makes sense to me so please be kind. Baptism doesn’t save but it seems like it was a big deal to Jesus since not only he got baptized but he baptized others and taught his disciples to baptize. In any case, rationally it seems to me that when we are saved by grace we become innocent like a child. But being innocent doesn’t mean you’re righteous. No good works or baptism replace grace but it seems like Jesus wanted us to be righteous. Not just innocent.
Beautiful vid. One of your best.✝️🙏❤️
It’s just another way of saying forget about anything if you don’t believe in the first place.. believing is just the first step.. anyways just a thought.. peace ✌️ God bless!
Why do they always ignore John 3:6 and only focus on verse 5?
Amen 100% right also the parable of the new wine in new bottles symbolizes the spirit as wine going into our bodies as new bottles being preserved to the end. Also spiritual amen!!!!
Was the thief on the cross next to Jesus baptized with water? Nope..
The Bible simply doesn't say. You cannot say he wasn't, and we cannot say he was.
But regardless if he was or not.. you ought to deal with these verses if you're arguing that Baptism has nothing to do with salvation:
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_ (Note: Washing of regeneration is literally another word for Baptism. It's all over the Early Church writings too.)
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_ (Note: "Baptism now saves you"... plain and simple.)
Anyone viewing Sam Shamoun ask yourself one question, does this man show evidence of the fruit of the spirit.
Catholics teach that you must be baptised into the Catholic church to be saved. Not that Jesus saves. I have read about Catholics who couldn't understand why Jesus died and resurrected. My husband was born into Catholicism, but he's not practicing. From what he tells me about his experience as a young boy in Catholic school, kids would get caned if they couldn't tell the priests in the school, what colour robes the priest at Sunday Mass wore, because it meant they hadn't attended Sunday Mass. I believe this has made my husband Agnostic/ Atheistic. I do love Catholic people, but I hate the doctrines of their church. I pray for my husband daily for him to find God, my husband won't listen to me. He says he's jealous of people who have faith, he said he's jealous of mine. I have been married to him for 34 years. This is why I don't listen to Sam Shamoun, he converted to Catholicism and teaches the bible to include Catholic doctrine. I pray one day the scales from his eyes will be lifted and see the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
From the beginning of time God has regenerated his people through the work of the Spirit. Abraham was regenerated in the same way as believers today. In spite of this you want us to believe that God then decided to make regeneration dependent on something done with human hands, namely water baptism. No, baptism became an outward declaration of an inward spiritual regeneration.
Amen, Brother.
Sam cannot be saved until he humbles himself. He'll live a miserable life here, then die and go to hell with all his head knowledge (which cannot save him or anyone).
According to Sam's own view, he is yet in his sins, because he was baptized as a baby as Orthodox.
The thief on the cross did not and could not get baptized before he died. The only thing he could do was to put his trust in Jesus as the messiah. And the rest is history.
Yes exactly, that's what I'm thinking as a borne again christian, for example in ma county there is no church how can I be baptized, christianity is not a religion you don't need a church to pray you can pray at home or in the forest God sees your faith only.
Sam claims to add context to that verse, meanwhile he blatantly ignores the immediate context in the verse right after.
(John 3 KJV)
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.
6 That which is *born of the flesh is flesh* ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jesus says the same thing twice to make sure people DON'T take this out of context, yet here is Sam doing exactly that.
When you are born of water it means in your mother's womb. When you believe in Jesus you are now Born of The spirit!
The verse that says by faith Noah built the ark. Did Noah have faith alone or did he have works with it by building the ark and preaching?
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned
What about the millions of people who accept Christ on deathbed. They were never water baptized..?
Could you show me the verse that says if you accept Jesus on your death bed then baptism isn't necessary?
Repentance with true contrition on a deathbed _CAN_ help the person to avoid Hell. The Church teaches it. But true repentance is difficult to attain, therefore Christ established Baptism. Here are the verses you have to deal with if you disagree with Baptism being directly tied to our salvation:
*Acts 2:38-41*
_“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, _*_and be baptized_*_ every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ _*_for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit._*_ For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him.’ And he testified with many other words and exhorted them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”_
*Romans 6:3-4*
_“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”_
*Titus 3:5*
_“He saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit…”_ (Note: Washing of regeneration is literally another word for Baptism. It's all over the Early Church writings too.)
*1 Peter 3:21*
_"(...) and this water symbolizes _*_baptism that now saves you_*_ also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."_ (Note: "Baptism now saves you"... plain and simple.)
Why not debate Sam Shamoun on the topic?
Why didn't Sam debate uthman or black hebrew israelites in person? Chickens out in person 😂❤
