The quickest way to prove that Jesus meant water baptism with this verse is looking at the context. Immediately after the conversation Nicodemus what did Jesus do? He began to baptize people! ”After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing.“ - John 3:22
Wonderful teaching, i pray all eyes are opened to the truth. It is scriptural. Just read it. I remember when the Lord let the scales fall from my eyes. It was like a light went off concerning baptism using Jesus's name when going under the water at water baptism.
Born again, pretty self explanatory....born of water and of the Spirit. Water/out of the belly shall flow rivers of living water. Ask the woman at the well. Then see what The Holy Spirit testifies to in 1st John 5:6 Amen Praise God Thank You for The Word.
To go back to the Greek the word again as Jesus used it means above it comes from the word in the Greek "anothen". Jesus is telling Nicodemus you have to be born from above unlike the fallen angels who left there place of habitation to come into the daughters of Adam (Jude 6). They wanted to thwart God's plan on our Savior being born that's what happened in Genesis 6 when the sons of God took wives of them in Genesis 6:2 and giants were born. You have to be of water and Spirit which is born of woman and accept Christ in your life. Seems as though people mistake this alot and even Jesus taught of this in Matthew 24:38 it will be like this in the last days when Satan returns claiming to be God like in 2 Thessalonians 2 his fallen angels are coming with him and will be doing the same thing that's why Apostle Paul taught when ought to have their head covered because of the angels(1 Corinthians 11:10). Lastly 1 Corinthians 10:11 everything happened as an ensample so take heed lest we be deceived
Most scholars agree that John 3:5 means water baptism and subsequent holy spirit infilling. It does NOT mean the natural birth which you allude to. Negative, the fact that Nicodemis asked that same question and Jesus said it was a spirit filled birth and not natural. Itis obvious you haven't been born again; like Titus 3:5 also points out is water and regeneration. In your case you can follow Acts 2:38 and receive the truth or continue in your line of unbelief (Mark 16:16-17). Though the evil angels wish to pollute mankind they cannot, as God is greater than them. Romans 8:28-37. Now is the time for salvation, but unbelief and Satan will be against you read Matthew 13 and James 4:17. Your choice but don't attack me like a wild beast for revealing the truth (Jo. 14:6). I have no obligation other than what I already said to advise you. @@FREEGAME38
@CalledChosenandFaithful I'm not going to attack I've said my peace and and have gave scripture evidence. I may plant a seed but only God can make it grow. God bless you
Born of the Spirit - Acts 2:4 - And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
IF the name of Jesus wasn't orally invoked then what cause would the council of sadducees have to threaten the physical safety of the Apostles, saying "And they called them, and commanded them not to SPEAK at ALL... nor teach in the name of Jesus?" Acts 4:18 Kinda hard to be then be punished. Whenever the vocal cords produced a sound that pronounced the name of Jesus, everything whipped into frenzy.
@@mebonweb578 Correct. Jesus then said 'He who does not believe will be condemned'. He did not say this concerning water baptism. John 3:18 mentions nothing about baptism. The conclusion: baptism is a commandment for believers (disciples), and not sinners.
During water baptism forgiveness becomes a spiritual reality in the believers life. This occurs because of the shed blood of Christ the Holy Spirit curcumcises our conscience and removes the guilt resulting from our wilful sins. This is what remission of sin and a vital part of the new birth process. It bascically cleanses the " temple" of a believers body in preparation for the Holy Spirit to take up permanent residence in it.
If John 3:5 is natural birth then people born of cesarean are disqualified from salvation. According to their opinion. If being baptized in the name of Jesus is a work, then "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
@wjdyr6261 Amen. I don't get the big argument just obey the scriptures. Jesus said believe on me as the scripture has said, and out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.
@@scottsprowl7484it's WAYYY more then just believing because the devil believes he trembles.. If what you're saying is true and that means the devil is also saved and has salvation
We all have a God-shaped void, that we try to fill with counterfeits that only Jesus Christ can fill.. he wants a relationship and fellowship with us. He loves us and wants to spend eternity in heaven with us. We need to be sorry to God for what the Bible says is sin. Only once we realize we're lost can we be saved by trusting and the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He shed his blood for us taking our sins upon him, and he gives us his righteousness when we put our trust in his finished work on the cross, asking him to forgive us and save our souls from hell.
At 15:35, you say that the episode in the book of Acts was the first time that the Holy Ghost was given, but that's wrong. Jesus gave the disciples the Holy Ghost in John 20:22.
Pastor Urshan, my husband and I absolutely love listening to your podcast / preaching. So much knowledge to be had and we appreciate your insight into Gods word. I hope you find this message and respond lol 😊…. My husband and I were brought a question about baby dedications, the question was why do we do this and is it a requirement or a tradition? As my husband and I have three children of our own we had them dedicated and we never even thought to ask the question why it’s done, with that being said, how would you respond to that question? (The first thing that popped into my mind was about Hannah and how she dedicated Samuel back to God, but couldn’t find anything that would point to it being a requirement)
Thank you for this. Just a question. When were the apostles baptized in Jesus name? Is it before the command in matthew 28:19-20? Or after Holy Ghost baptism in Acts 2 just like how the 3000 were baptize and added? Or is it in between of these 2 events? Thanks. Much appreciated all your teaching Sir.
If baptism is being born again, then is receiving the Holy Ghost being born again again? Or is being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost, combined, being born again? If so, then when you are baptized, you are partly born of the spirit and when you receive the Holy Ghost three years later, your birth of the spirit is now complete?
"Being born again of the water and spirit" so both are required. Baptism (in Jesus Name) is being buried with Christ, washing away our sins. Yes, you need the whole package and it's okay if it's years later, it still applies.
@@TheMollyMine The bible does not say "You must be born again of the water and of the spirit". It says "You must be born again". Nicodemus asked Jesus " How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again"? Jesus is simply responding to him, telling him that he (Nicodemus) was talking of natural birth. Jesus was talking about spiritual birth. Find even one place in the bible where baptizing is being born. It is always being buried with Christ in baptism, simulating being buried with Christ in the heart of the earth, thus burying your dead sins. And of course you should be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission (washing away)of your dead sins.
Yes. The Flood is an easy example. The old world was buried in water and emerging from the Flood, the past was washed away and they had a new beginning i.e. Born again. I Peter 3:18-21
Could you answer what Jesus wrote with his finger in the sand when confronted by the Pharisees? I have my theories but I would like to hear your perspective. Love the podcast
Hello, Brock here. Yes, I changed my user name since the comment that was read in this video. First, I just want to say you gained my respect for taking the time to do this. Second, you seemed to have made some assumptions about me, which is understandable. I grew up in the UPCI. I was baptized in Jesus name and spoke in tongues A LOT. I graduated from a UPCI Bible College, had a local license and even had a district position. So I am not new to Oneness Pentecostalism by any stretch. Third, I would probably have to make a video myself to address everything you say, but I do still believe you have not made a good argument. I think you have made a convincing argument to those not familiar with the whole of the New Testament and how to identify a false gospel. You could teach almost anything in convincing fashion by pulling bits and parts from all over Scripture. Mormons, JWs and even flat earthers do this same thing to make their teachings convincing. I think a fair and reliable benchmark for identifying a false gospel is if you can find your gospel within Galatians. Why is Galatians significant? It is in Galatians where every group will pull on Paul’s emphasis that there is only one Gospel and preaching any other gospel results in condemnation. Every false group will use Galatians 1:6-9 and will follow that up by teaching their gospel from other portions of Scripture as if Paul was talking about their gospel. But Paul was talking about a very specific gospel, and one that he goes on to explain in Galatians. So if you can’t find your Gospel in Galatians, your Gospel is the false one. And if you read Galatians, you will find modern day protestants get the idea of salvation being by grace through faith apart from works, not from Luther but from Paul. I only recall hearing you use one verse in Galatians in this whole video, and that was just a quick reference to baptism in 3:27. This water and spirit paradigm you speak of is not taught in Galatians. In fact it is not blatantly and clearly taught anywhere in Scripture. According to this teaching, Acts is supposed to be the fulfillment of being born of the water and Spirit from John 3:5, but we don’t find any reference to being born again anywhere in Acts. And if water baptism in Jesus name and speaking in tongues was the model for every true conversion, why do we only have 3 clear examples (Samaritans in Acts 8, Cornelius in Acts 10 and Johns disciples in Acts 19). There is many many more conversions that take place in Acts that do not follow this model. In addition, in Acts 15, we have the Jewish church leaders determining what the Gentiles need to do to enter the kingdom. Peter describes how the Gentiles in Acts 10 were brought into the church in Acts 15:7-11 and describes this idea of being saved by grace apart from works that you called devilish. Again, we don’t get our salvation plan of faith apart from works from Luther but from Peter. Finally, touché on James 2:7. That is one verse I did not consider before my previous comment. In looking at many commentaries and different translations on this verse, I will admit this is definitely referring to an invoking of the name of Jesus that was most likely done at baptism. It appears to be in doubt whether it was the baptizee or the baptizer that was invoking the name, but let’s just say it was the baptizer that was invoking the name of Jesus. This would mean we have one example in Scripture of Jesus’ name being invoked at the baptism of these people by the baptizer. Does this mean we can then conclude that this invocation is in reference to a sort of magic spell, incantation or computer password where the guy baptizing you has to say the correct words over you while you are being baptized or you are expelled from God’s kingdom? I’d say to reach that conclusion from James 2:7 is a huge stretch. And it is an even bigger stretch to make this conclusion with any other verse you provided to support your Jesus name baptism doctrine, since no other verse says “they said these words over this person while he was being baptized.” I 100% believe in baptism in Jesus name. I just think turning Jesus name into a magic spell is where we have greatly missed the point. Despite my continued disagreement with the points made in this video, I greatly appreciate you taking the time. I certainly admire the effort, and I pray that you also become acquainted with the wonderful gospel of salvation in Christ’s cross.
Just to add one more thing, I said in my original comment that I believe “born of water” is a reference to water being used an as analogy of the cleansing transformative power of the Spirit as it is used in John 4:14 and 7:37. This lines up with Jesus expecting Nicodemus to understand based on him being a master of Israel since the Old Testament also uses water in this way often, one prime example is Ezekiel 36:25-27. I agree with you that being born of water referring to natural birth is not a viable interpretation. And I still think saying it is water baptism is eisegesis, placing the Oneness Pentecostal understanding on to the text. Just thought I’d add that because I believe you only referenced natural birth as the only other interpretation people hold to. If I missed you addressing my understanding of this passage, then I apologize.
Most Apostolics can’t appreciate this absolute, because it was normative amongst the sub-culture they were physically born into. I was born into a Oneness culture. However, baptism in Jesus’ name nor infilling of the Holy Ghost was considered the New Birth experience, although, both were considered necessary as part of salvation. The New Birth was interpreted as a perfected state, incapable of committing sin. Matthew 5:48, 1 John 3:9 and 1 John 5:18 were cherry picked to support this false narrative. This teaching led to hopelessness and disbelief. Salvation became an impossibility, due to constant warfare with the flesh, and unable to become born of God. Thankfully my Lord and my God opened my understanding, and I’m saved, because I was born again! I love TRUTH!
I find it sad and frustrating when people pass over (no pun intended) the OT and Acts when this is where all the NT is based upon. Only Jesus can remove the scales from their eyes. It may take longer than we'd like or not happen at all. Love them as Jesus Christ loves them, pray and trust Jesus to do the work.
In order to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ you must come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as the trinity. That's where it starts.
I mean of course it's a thing. Is it a biblical thing though? I don't think so, but there are many trinitarian churches now baptizing only in Jesus name. I mean the only accounts of baptism happening were in that only saving name.
The doctrine of the Trinity was added by the Roman Catholic church. They will tell you that today. Yet if you were to baptize in the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Ghost, you are repeating an order instead of following an order. You still need a single name that would apply to all three titles.
@@KennethCounts-u6tnot only that but in the Catholic encyclopedia they even admit to changing the original formula that the apostles and post apostolic fathers used. Read it for yourself. The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263: "The baptismal formula was changed from the Name of Jesus Christ to the Words/Titles father, son, and holy spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century."
I love this video. I also love your comment, because I would add this... Baptism in the name above every other name is more important than "denying" the Trinity. Why? Because these 3 are one. If you understand that and understand what the name is, then you are on your way.
People that say you don't have to be baptized for salvation very quickly add that you do have to be baptized for obedience. The lesders of these camps often delay water baptism until a conveniently scheduled time. That pattern does not match the Examples.of new birth in the book of Acts. Almostbevery example of someone being born again includes water baptism being done spontaneously without delay. The exception Sauls baptism was delayed until he reached Damascus and it clearly states it was to wash away his sins. ACTS 22:16 I mean some people look for a way out of obeying the scrioture rather than just obey. They think if it's predicated on what we do then that means a works based salvation. It's not. Believe in your hesrt is something YOU DO. Is that works? Confess with your mouth is something YOU DO. Is that works. Whosever calls on the name of the Lord... Wiat a second. Calling on the name of the LORD is something YOU DO. Is that works?
If the water was amniotic fluid of natural child birth; that would make Jesus a liar. Because Jesus said "Except a man be born again." And Jesus cannot lie.
Read it from the King James Bible. The context is freshly birth and spiritual birth.. when a man or woman is born, they are born of water as the women's water breaks. They go through a water sack.
Awake to rightousness and sin not... God is Holy and cannot look upon sin. We need the righteousness of Jesus Christ applied to our account so we can get to God, have a relationship with Him and go to heaven. The only way to get Jesus Christ's righteousness applied to our account is put our trust in his finished work on the cross. He shed his blood to cover our sin.. he took God's wrath.. he took our hell, and in turn he gives you his righteousness. What a loving God! Why would you take a chance on holding onto your own righteousness which is as filthy rags according to the Bible. You see friend, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour! If you trust that Jesus Christ paid it all for you, ask him to forgive you for your sin and save your soul. Romans 10:13 says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Random TH-cam recommendation for the is video, and you lead off this video with saying people got filled with the Holy Ghost when getting baptized??? Did I hear that right? Is that what you meant? Because that’s not what the Bible teaches maybe you meant differently but it sounds like those who just got baptized got filled with the Holy Ghost/Sprit. Is that why people get baptized….nope.
No. That is not what we mean. Being baptized in water and being filled with the Holy Ghost are two distinct experiences that comprise the one New Birth.
Just grace that’s it smh grace covers all you don’t need to do anything else. I tried to explain to a presbyterian pastor he said Acts 2:38 was for them not now and baptism is a work smh
Acts is a transitional book. That was for the nation of israel. Our baptism is believers baptism like in Acts 16. The ones who believed then got baptized.

Third, I would probably have to make a video myself to address everything you say, but I do still believe you have not made a good argument. I think you have made a convincing argument to those not familiar with the whole of the New Testament and how to identify a false gospel. You could teach almost anything in convincing fashion by pulling bits and parts from all over Scripture. Mormons, JWs and even flat earthers do this same thing to make their teachings convincing.
I think a fair and reliable benchmark for identifying a false gospel is if you can find your gospel within Galatians. Why is Galatians significant? It is in Galatians where every group will pull on Paul’s emphasis that there is only one Gospel and preaching any other gospel results in condemnation. Every false group will use Galatians 1:6-9 and will follow that up by teaching their gospel from other portions of Scripture as if Paul was talking about their gospel. But Paul was talking about a very specific gospel, and one that he goes on to explain in Galatians. So if you can’t find your Gospel in Galatians, your Gospel is the false one. And if you read Galatians, you will find modern day protestants get the idea of salvation being by grace through faith apart from works, not from Luther but from Paul.
I only recall hearing you use one verse in Galatians in this whole video, and that was just a quick reference to baptism in 3:27. This water and spirit paradigm you speak of is not taught in Galatians. In fact it is not blatantly and clearly taught anywhere in Scripture. According to this teaching, Acts is supposed to be the fulfillment of being born of the water and Spirit from John 3:5, but we don’t find any reference to being born again anywhere in Acts. And if water baptism in Jesus name and speaking in tongues was the model for every true conversion, why do we only have 3 clear examples (Samaritans in Acts 8, Cornelius in Acts 10 and Johns disciples in Acts 19). There is many many more conversions that take place in Acts that do not follow this model. In addition, in Acts 15, we have the Jewish church leaders determining what the Gentiles need to do to enter the kingdom. Peter describes how the Gentiles in Acts 10 were brought into the church in Acts 15:7-11 and describes this idea of being saved by grace apart from works that you called devilish. Again, we don’t get our salvation plan of faith apart from works from Luther but from Peter.
Finally, touché on James 2:7. That is one verse I did not consider before my previous comment. In looking at many commentaries and different translations on this verse, I will admit this is definitely referring to an invoking of the name of Jesus that was most likely done at baptism. It appears to be in doubt whether it was the baptizee or the baptizer that was invoking the name, but let’s just say it was the baptizer that was invoking the name of Jesus. This would mean we have one example in Scripture of Jesus’ name being invoked at the baptism of these people by the baptizer. Does this mean we can then conclude that this invocation is in reference to a sort of magic spell, incantation or computer password where the guy baptizing you has to say the correct words over you while you are being baptized or you are expelled from God’s kingdom? I’d say to reach that conclusion from James 2:7 is a huge stretch. And it is an even bigger stretch to make this conclusion with any other verse you provided to support your Jesus name baptism doctrine, since no other verse says “they said these words over this person while he was being baptized.”
I 100% believe in baptism in Jesus name. I just think turning Jesus name into a magic spell is where we have greatly missed the point.
Despite my continued disagreement with the points made in this video, I greatly appreciate you taking the time. I certainly admire the effort, and I pray that you also become acquainted with the wonderful gospel of salvation in Christ’s cross.
Just to add one more thing, I said in my original comment that I believe “born of water” is a reference to water being used an as analogy of the cleansing transformative power of the Spirit as it is used in John 4:14 and 7:37. This lines up with Jesus expecting Nicodemus to understand based on him being a master of Israel since the Old Testament also uses water in this way often, one prime example is Ezekiel 36:25-27. I agree with you that being born of water referring to natural birth is not a viable interpretation. And I still think saying it is water baptism is eisegesis, placing the Oneness Pentecostal understanding on to the text.
Just thought I’d add that because I believe you only referenced natural birth as the only other interpretation people hold to. If I missed you addressing my understanding of this passage, then I apologize.
Most Apostolics can’t appreciate this absolute, because it was normative amongst the sub-culture they were physically born into.
I was born into a Oneness culture. However, baptism in Jesus’ name nor infilling of the Holy Ghost was considered the New Birth experience, although, both were considered necessary as part of salvation.
The New Birth was interpreted as a perfected state, incapable of committing sin. Matthew 5:48, 1 John 3:9 and 1 John 5:18 were cherry picked to support this false narrative.
This teaching led to hopelessness and disbelief. Salvation became an impossibility, due to constant warfare with the flesh, and unable to become born of God.
Thankfully my Lord and my God opened my understanding, and I’m saved, because I was born again!
I love TRUTH!
I find it sad and frustrating when people pass over (no pun intended) the OT and Acts when this is where all the NT is based upon. Only Jesus can remove the scales from their eyes. It may take longer than we'd like or not happen at all. Love them as Jesus Christ loves them, pray and trust Jesus to do the work.
In order to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ you must come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as the trinity. That's where it starts.
I mean of course it's a thing. Is it a biblical thing though? I don't think so, but there are many trinitarian churches now baptizing only in Jesus name. I mean the only accounts of baptism happening were in that only saving name.
The doctrine of the Trinity was added by the Roman Catholic church. They will tell you that today. Yet if you were to baptize in the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Ghost, you are repeating an order instead of following an order. You still need a single name that would apply to all three titles.
@@KennethCounts-u6tnot only that but in the Catholic encyclopedia they even admit to changing the original formula that the apostles and post apostolic fathers used. Read it for yourself.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263: "The baptismal formula was changed from the Name of Jesus Christ to the Words/Titles father, son, and holy spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century."
I love this video. I also love your comment, because I would add this... Baptism in the name above every other name is more important than "denying" the Trinity. Why? Because these 3 are one. If you understand that and understand what the name is, then you are on your way.
People that say you don't have to be baptized for salvation very quickly add that you do have to be baptized for obedience. The lesders of these camps often delay water baptism until a conveniently scheduled time. That pattern does not match the Examples.of new birth in the book of Acts. Almostbevery example of someone being born again includes water baptism being done spontaneously without delay. The exception Sauls baptism was delayed until he reached Damascus and it clearly states it was to wash away his sins. ACTS 22:16
I mean some people look for a way out of obeying the scrioture rather than just obey. They think if it's predicated on what we do then that means a works based salvation. It's not.
Believe in your hesrt is something YOU DO. Is that works?
Confess with your mouth is something YOU DO. Is that works.
Whosever calls on the name of the Lord...
Wiat a second.
Calling on the name of the LORD is something YOU DO. Is that works?
If the water was amniotic fluid of natural child birth; that would make Jesus a liar. Because Jesus said "Except a man be born again." And Jesus cannot lie.
If you're struggling to comprehend the plain wording, then you're a prisoner of spiritual warfare.
Great episode Brother Urshan!
Read it from the King James Bible. The context is freshly birth and spiritual birth.. when a man or woman is born, they are born of water as the women's water breaks. They go through a water sack.
Nicodemus asked Jesus can he go back into the womb in John 3, also in Acts 2:41 it says 3000 souls were saved after Jesus Name Baptism
Awake to rightousness and sin not... God is Holy and cannot look upon sin. We need the righteousness of Jesus Christ applied to our account so we can get to God, have a relationship with Him and go to heaven. The only way to get Jesus Christ's righteousness applied to our account is put our trust in his finished work on the cross. He shed his blood to cover our sin.. he took God's wrath.. he took our hell, and in turn he gives you his righteousness. What a loving God! Why would you take a chance on holding onto your own righteousness which is as filthy rags according to the Bible. You see friend, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour! If you trust that Jesus Christ paid it all for you, ask him to forgive you for your sin and save your soul. Romans 10:13 says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Random TH-cam recommendation for the is video, and you lead off this video with saying people got filled with the Holy Ghost when getting baptized??? Did I hear that right? Is that what you meant? Because that’s not what the Bible teaches maybe you meant differently but it sounds like those who just got baptized got filled with the Holy Ghost/Sprit. Is that why people get baptized….nope.
No. That is not what we mean. Being baptized in water and being filled with the Holy Ghost are two distinct experiences that comprise the one New Birth.
@@pastorurshan oh ok cuz yeah that wording in the beginning was confusing.
Just grace that’s it smh grace covers all you don’t need to do anything else. I tried to explain to a presbyterian pastor he said Acts 2:38 was for them not now and baptism is a work smh
Acts is a transitional book. That was for the nation of israel. Our baptism is believers baptism like in Acts 16. The ones who believed then got baptized.
