Salvation cannot be accomplished by a bath. John 4:2 says Jesus baptized no one. If baptism were a condition of salvation, He would have been baptizing people; after all, He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10).

We should not be entertained by the sins for which Christ died.
Entertainment, Sin0The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.
Gospel, Self-Denial0Salvation always results because God first pursues sinners, not because sinners first seek God.

l would define FREEWILL as this: every human being has the freedom to choose whatever sin he wants. That's free will.
Free Will, Sin0even infants bringing their condemnation with them from their mother's womb, suffer not for another's, but for their own defect. For although they have not yet produced the fruits of their own unrighteousness, they have the seem implanted in them. No, their whole nature is, as it were, a seed-bed of sin, and therefore cannot but be odious and abominable to God.
Institutes, Book 2 Chapter 1Original Sin0Institutes, Book 2 Chapter 1
the sin of the first man harmed not only him, but the whole human race, because from it we received condemnation and fault together.

if it was considered an honor to be the slave of one of the Caesars, it is infinitely more so to be the slave of Christ
Slave (97)Identity0Slave (97)
Original corruption, by which we are dead to God and to godliness from the birth, and made willing slaves to the performance of all actual sins, until the Son of God makes us free. It consists in a propensity and inclination of the heart to sin, and an averseness to holiness.
The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification: Growing in Holiness by Living in Union with ChristOriginal Sin0The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification: Growing in Holiness by Living in Union with Christ
Original sin is not the sin that Adam and Eve committed. It is the result of that first sin. Original Sin has reference to our sinful condition, our sinful bent, our sinful inclination from which actual sin flows.

For the faithful, Spirit-filled Christian, every place becomes a place of prayer.
Prayer0Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.
Money, Finances0A true Christian does not see God's promise of forgiveness as a license to sin, a way to abuse His love and presume on His grace. Rather, he sees God's gracious forgiveness as the means to spiritual growth and sanctification. He continually thanks God for His great love and willingness to forgive.
Obedience, Gospel0If I could simplify the Christian life to one thing, it would be obedience.
Obedience0It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.
Definite Atonement, Limited Atonement, Particular Redemption0The cross is proof of both the immense love of God and the profound wickedness of sin.
Cross, God's Love, Sin0Scripture does what psychoanalysis can't do-it pierces the heart, penetrates deep into the soul and judges the motives. To see yourself in the light of Scripture, is to see yourself as you really are.
Scripture0Prayer is not an attempt to get God to agree with you or provide for your selfish desires, but that it is both an affirmation of His sovereignty, righteousness, and majesty and an exercise to conform your desires and purposes to His will and Glory
Prayer0You can't confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.
Faith, Thinking0Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.
Discipline0Here Peter Lombard has displayed gross ignorance (Lombard, lib. 2 dist. 31). When investigating the seat of corruption, he says it is in the flesh (as Paul declares), not properly, indeed, but as being more apparent in the flesh. As if Paul had meant that only a part of the soul, and not the whole nature, was opposed to supernatural grace.
Institutes, Book 2 Chapter 1Original Sin0Institutes, Book 2 Chapter 1
It was because we rejected the doctrine of original sin that we on the Left were always being disappointed; disappointed by the refusal of people to be reasonable... by the behavior of nations and politicians... above all, by the recurrent fact of war.
Original Sin0The prohibition to touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a trial of obedience, that Adam, by observing it, might prove his willing submission to the command of God.
Institutes Book 2 Chapter 1Original Sin0Institutes Book 2 Chapter 1
We have all been born in sin, and, conceived from the pleasure of the flesh, we have all contracted the original fault in ourselves; so it is that we embroil ourselves in sin also by our own will.
On Exod 13, 13Original Sin0On Exod 13, 13
Those believers who spend their lives in temporal and worthless pursuits should expect minimal reward from Christ.
