To: one Lord one faith one baptism
[[[sigh]]]...there is NO water baptism today for remission of sins.

The only baptism operative today, in the dispensation of the Grace of God is the Holy Spirit baptizing believers into the body of Christ. It contains NO WATER. It is spiritual.

please produce the Scriptures that say we are not to “water baptize” anyone in the so-called dispensation of grace ( another unbiblical term ) Your statement is a violation of Matthew 28:19 “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit” this command was for all time as verse 20 clearly shows. by the time St Paul died, the Gospel had not yet been preached in North and South America, so when missionaries made disciples in these territories, they had the choice of following Jesus’s command in Matthew 28 or your unique understanding that so-called “water baptism” is not for today. well, the choice is easy, the Church, under the direction of the Holy SPIRIT, must follow it’s Lord Jesus. it’s been this way for 2,000 years, it’s the Christian Faith.
so i again ask you to show me from the Bible where Jesus’s command to the Church in Matthew 28 was made null, void and of no effect?
