Epilogue
What does all this mean? It means that many Christians should forsake the false teaching that water baptism is the means of joining a local church or becoming a member of the universal Church. It means that many Christians should forsake the false doctrine that water baptism is necessary for salvation.
Many Christians should forsake the idea that water baptism replaced circumcision and that baptizing infants is part of a covenant with God for their salvation. Many Christians should change their identity from Baptist or Anabaptist to simply "Christian." Many Christians should forsake their demonic party spirit that the enemy has used to cause division among true brethren in Christ. (Of course, varied doctrines concerning water baptism is only one issue that causes division in the Church.) It means that many who profess to be Christians who teach that one is saved by being water baptized need to repent of their sins and turn to the Way, Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6).
What will happen to many of those who accept the truth that water baptism was a shadow or type of a better, spiritual baptism into Christ? Some will be rejected by the established leaders and "religious experts" of the day just as Christians were rejected by the chief priests and rulers of the synagogue in the first century. Some will lose family and friends who are trusting in their water baptism for salvation (instead of trusting in Jesus Christ).
Variances in beliefs concerning water baptism may be greater than any other doctrine in the Bible. Like the Judaizers who said you need Christ and circumcision, many Christians (and those who profess to be Christians but never have been born again) today are saying, in essence, that the work Jesus did on the Cross is not enough. The enemy tries to diminish the glorious gift of eternal life and the Atonement of Christ by shedding His precious blood and dying for us.

Lots a verses yanked outa context without any regard to original narratives followed by a divisive opinionated rant about the way things oughta be in a Halo Harry world. (Yes he also believes in real halos)
But Halo Harry and Dom remain handedly refuted by the Great Commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28:16-20.
But for some reason Halo Harry and Dom don’t wanna talk too much about Matthew 28.
Obviously water baptist isn’t necessary for salvation.
It’s only one of two ordinances established by the Lord Jesus. One is water baptism of which we speak, the other is the Lord’s supper.

Are you serious?!?! I posted a section of his article on Mathew 28.
I was led to check out your profile for some reason. And lo and behold that is some interesting beast photo. Now don't go and delete so that others may have a look.
The apostle Paul fought wild beasts at Ephesus(1 Cor. 15:32).

Dom-64, you probably realize by now that tinyfaithdavid that is very weak in his faith toward righteousness by FAITH (turning away from sin by the POWER of YHWH) as he continues to deny that POWER from heaven this side of heaven now to keep from sinning , then makes it clear here to accuse (LIES about) you of not posting anything on Matt 28 as to continue on with his license to sin which he believes to be 'continual sinning perfectionism (doctrine) because the more he sins the more righteous he is', that he teaches!
So you have a problem discussing anything with him because he is 'privileged' by his 'ordained license' from heaven to keep on sinning and therefore either twist (which is really a LIE also) what you say or flat out LIE about you or anyone else on this forum!
Also your correct about his 'beastly' look that you noticed on his actual profile set of pictures and when I brought this to his attention when he actually had it SHOWN on his main profile forum face in another thread posting, he then removed it claiming' he was handsome' in the picture, scaring the women to death, if they were careless enough to even visit his profile to begin with of this very hateful person!
Like I posted to him when he had that CRUDE picture posted for ALL to see, quoted below!
Quote - 'WELL tinyfaithdavid (littledavid)! >>>So this is what you look like in the mornings before you put your makeup on and comb your hair???<<< Your kind of scary for the ladies in the mornings, aren't you! Imagine the look on Mooncakes face viewing your 'handsomeness' here in your new profile picture, she must really adore you now!?
Anyway, before you get plastic surgery (tinyfaithdavid) , lets start with your 'copy and paste' first question (since you cannot ask any yourself, think for yourself), so you don't get confused and continue to have that 'evolutionary' look on your 'handsome' face like you do here on your profile picture for all to view!!! end quotes
Dom-64 goes on to say - 'The apostle Paul fought wild beasts at Ephesus (1 Cor. 15:32).'
Well that is interesting Dom-64, because I guess we need to be like Paul and fight the WILD BEAST of tinyfaithdavid (littledavid) in his false doctrine, twisting what people say and his flat out LYING about people, right?

YUP Dom_64, the 'beast caveman' picture of him, I would assume to be him because he does not say anything on his profile description if its him or not???
So for the record of TWO WITNESSES against him here, its true what you saw Dom_64 and I have also!!! Anybody else think he is 'handsome' in the picture on his profile like he claims above in my quote of him he is in that particular picture????

So, he actually teaches that one can keep on sinning and still be counted righteous by God. Well that explains a lot.
Teddy, don't stumble just because Harry mentions halos in his article. I'm sorry to say you have many false teachings yourself. Consider there may be truth to it before throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Harry bethel has an article on wild beasts and what they are. I'm considering posting it.

Dom_64, tinyfaithdavid ( I call him that because he has NO FAITH that YHWH can keep us from sinning this side of heaven by his own words!) , so he accuses me of teaching 'sinless perfectionism' when its the BIBLE that says we can be PERFECT by the POWER of YHWH in us - THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN! And there are many verses saying just that OBVIOUS truth! For instance Jude 24,25 it clearly says by the POWER (verse25!) of YHWH he can keep us form sinning but tinyfaithdavid claims I take those verses out of CONTEXT???
So I give him some of his own medicine of accusations, making fun of his thinking and tell him he is teaching - 'continual sinning perfectionism because the more he sins the more righteous he is' you see? Its that age old CULT teachings in sooooo many 'churches' today that supposedly everyone will keep on sinning and when Father YHWH comes back to earth, then He will turn SINNING 'christians' into ROBOTS that cannot sin anymore or chose to do so!!! That is tinyfaithdavid and CULTISTrsvp's (that also worships PAGAN 'holidays'!) doctrine NOT taught in the Bible! OK?
I'm not 'stumbling' over the DISTRACTION that tinyfaithdavid and 'bro' CULTISTrsvp' make about the 'halo' thingy but I don't buy into it either because cathoholics are ALWAYS showing that image in a lot of pictures and their IDOLS, not that Harry is doing so but then why bother with it when its not in Scripture. It only opens the door for the WICKED LIARS to make fun of him! Right?
You claim and say - 'I'm sorry to say you have many false teachings yourself.' then you better show me (I was born in the show me state of MO!) FROM THE BIBLE and I'm listening to your 'evidence' from that source ONLY, to learn and where I have done so, ok, because until then your nothing but an accuser like tinyfaithdavid and CULTISTrsvp is!!! Got it young lady! They have NEVER refuted ANYTHING I teach and say because I ONLY go by the Bible and it alone! You all copy and paste from 'articles' and or 'got questions' (and many CULT answers from that source!) as well as OTHER writings of men!

RSVP, thanks for setting the record straight about my opposition to sin. I’ve never said it’s ok to keep on sinning and the TeddyBug knows it because I’ve written often about obedience. Teddy can’t quote me having said its ok to keep on sinning, so he has to lie.
Notice how quickly the Dom believed the TeddyBug lie without so much as a speck of fact checking‼️‼️
Note also my observation concerning the Dom and her false teacher Halo Harry who “do not want to speak much about Mathew 28”.
The TeddyBug translated that into “...not speaking at all...” (the usual TeddyBug confusion which he then follows up with false accusations) and the Dom, herself, can’t seem to understand the obvious meaning of “not talking much”—-not her first inexcusable misunderstanding on the forum as well
It is true, Halo Harry “DOESN'T want to talk much” about the great commission of Jesus in Matthew 28 other then to obfuscate the orthodox and historic rendering especially concerning the Lord’s ordinance of water baptism.
The debate about water baptism should center on relevant verses. So why does Harry and Dom wanna write lengthy irrelevant pieces that consist largely of out of context verses and false insertions of their own into various texts rather than stay with Mathew 28 and relevant verses that actually address the topic of water baptism⁉️
It’s very sad when false teachers must resort to lying about those exposing their error.
Dom, yes, you’re welcome to view my profile anytime you want, but you’re not my type.
I’m saving the beast picture for you and the TeddyBug to view together.
BTW
What was that remark about Flat Earth folk on your profile? Is it still there for the TeddyBug to see?
