Hi BradK::
Thanks for the interest.
It is true I do uphold baptismal regeneration, but I feel more comfortable saying Born Again.
Because I do, I feel that this also answers questions 1, and 2 .
But because you asked for an elaboration, the "washing of regeneration" spoken of in Tit. 3
to me says baptism.
Have a Blessed day
Your Brother in Christ

Is king solomon a black man |

You may be mixing up Solomon with the Queen of Sheba who came to visit King Solomon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheba, “[Sheba] is disputed between southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa; the kingdom may have been situated in either present-day Ethiopia or present-day Yemen, or both.” If in Africa the Queen of Sheba would most likely have been chocolate brown to black.
We don't know what color any of the Kings of Israel/Judah were, but the Jews were 400 years removed from a 430 year stay in Egypt, which is in Africa. It is highly improbable that Solomon (950 BC) was dark but not impossible as Jewish people after the Diaspora (70 AD) are albino to black.

Rev 4:4 |

REV 4:4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads.
Moses and Elijah who had been in heaven for centuries still had their physical characteristics at the Transfiguration in Matthew 17.
The 24 elders are recognized in heaven.
Jesus will be known in heaven. Heaven and Earth are used together a number of times and they seem to be separate but closely linked. I.e. our physical characteristics will not change. Our bodies will be perfect, no sickness or crying, but we will be known.

Remember Those Who Led You |

Heb 13:7 |

"Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith." (NASB)
"IN order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit
studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious
army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit.
Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can
expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and
learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition. If you
are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of
conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the
attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who
talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so
little of what he has revealed to others."

Hello Newwine,
Since your post is rather lengthy and poses numerous questions, might I ask for clarification on a couple?
1. You note that, "At this point the washing of regeneration sure sounds like baptism, "If it walks like a duck" Can you clarify or elaborate your understanding of Tit. 3:5?
It would appear you uphold baptismal regeneration?
2.You state, "I have looked, I cant find any scriptures for the doctrine of Regeneration. It may sound nice, but that doesn't quite fit my criteria for a doctrinal belief." Are you denying the work of regeneration? What is your "criteria" for a doctrinal belief?
Speaking the Truth in Love,
BradK

Newwine :: I'm confused about your position on baptism. Perhaps you can help clear away my confusion in this way: Which of the following statements more clearly reflects your belief? (1) Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. (2) Salvation is by grace through faith plus baptism. --Hank |

Makarios,
Thanx for putting this in proper perspective. Folks don't see this as part of Gods overall plan
and wasn't related to any judgement brought upon them by God.

Val,
Good day to you sis, Actually scripture is pretty
clear. Acts 2:38 incontext with previous verses in
chapter 2. It gives us a pretty clear picture of
at what point one is saved. There are allot of issues
involved with this but it is simple if we let God's Word to do the talking. But I can gaurantee
it wasn't simple for God.

Dear Newwine,
The fact that regeneration is used only twice in the Bible doesn't mean that the doctrine is not mentioned elsewhere. Indeed, the doctrine of the new birth finds extensive didactic discussion throughout Scripture. Perhaps a closer search might produce more fruit. John chapter 3 might be a good start.
What you are espousing is common teaching called "baptismal regeneration." Very common indeed.
In Him, Doc |

Hi Val:: Thank you for your welcome
I'm glad you enjoy them, I enjoy discussing the things of the Lord.
(you say)
1) "I tend to disagree with and that is at the point when one becomes "saved".
2) "Only God knows when that point is in a believer's life."
3) "Baptism is a reflection of that point"
(answer)
If I may, when one becomes "saved". and "Only God knows when that point is in a believer's life."
I believe we can be witnesses to a persons salvation, because it is an outward sign that they believe.
Rom. 10:9 That (if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,) and (shalt believe in thine heart) that God hath raised him from the dead, (thou shalt be saved.)
Now if you are going to point at the believing in the "heart" let me then put this forward.
1 Cor. 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Baptism, is the part where everyone gets their tails in a knot;-(
There are only two times "regeneration" is used in the bible. Mat. 19:28 and
Tit. 3:5 (Not by works of righteousness which we have done,) (but according to his mercy he saved us,)
(by the washing of regeneration,) and (renewing of the Holy Ghost;)
Act. 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
At this point the washing of regeneration sure sounds like baptism, "If it walks like a duck"
I have looked, I cant find any scriptures for the doctrine of Regeneration. It may sound nice, but that doesn't quite fit my criteria for a doctrinal belief.
The word "renewing" is only used two times as well, Tit. 3:5 above, and
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: (but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,) (that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.)
So it appears we are washed, regenerated, and renewed all at the same time.
What then is being (saved, regenerated, born again)?
Is being (saved, Regenerated, born again) the same thing?
When we say we are (saved) what are we saved from?
When we say we are (saved) are we (regenerated, born again) at the same time?
When we say we are (regenerated, born again) what are we (regenerated, born again) unto, or for?
Are we (saved) form eternal damnation in the lake of fire?
It doesn't matter if you keep believing what you do, and I do the same, neither one of us will lose our salvation because of these beliefs. But without any rancor between us because of our differing beliefs, we continue to have a meaningful discourse on the things of God, then we are keeping the Unity of the Spirit, as we have been told to do. It means one of us has been given more light than the other, and that person should not put a stumbling block before his brother. causing him to fall because of the liberty that one has. One believes one day is Holy, another believes all days are.
Your Brother in Christ
Blessings on You
