Putting together a collection of verses that teach baptismal regeneration for my evangelical/baptist family/friends. Leave any passages I left out below 👇 😎
Passages on baptismal regeneration.
Acts 2:38 –This passage explicitly says the remission of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit are given only after repentance and baptism.
Acts 22:16 —ties the washing away of St. Paul’s sins to the call we make to the Lord in baptism.
Roman’s 6:3-7 —baptism is our participation in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection; it is the means by which the merits of his death, burial, and resurrection are given to us. We are given “newness of life” in baptism. We are raised up spiritually, just as Christ was raised up physically. The old man and body of sins is crucified, and we are made free from sin by the grace of the Spirit conferred in Baptism.
Colossians 2:11-13 —circumcision of Christ superior to OT circumcision, is efficacious for the forgiveness of our trespasses, the putting off of the body of sins, and the quickening of the old man. This passage also makes clear that the act of faith which justifies a man is the sacrament of baptism, which is why St. Paul refers only to faith justifying and not to good deeds. Sacraments are a work of God in which nothing is needed in the recipient other than faith to be efficacious.
Galatians 3:27 —baptized into Christ, ie regenerated; put on Christ, i.e., imputed. The righteousness of Christ is transmitted to our account at the point of baptismal regeneration.
John 3:5 —In this passage born of water and Spirit is one grammatical event in Greek, making the act of being born of water and spirit one act. This conclusively rules out the idea that “water refers to amniotic fluids since no one is regenerated at the same moment he is born physically. We ascertain that Jesus is speaking about baptism here, not only because he mentions water, but at the end of the chapter, he is overseeing baptisms.
Titus 3:5 —Greek is literally “laver of washing of regeneration.”
Mark 16:16 —This verse shows the ordinary necessity of baptism.
1 Corinthians 12:13 —shows that water baptism into the church is the means by which one is normatively joined to the body of Christ and partakes of the Holy Spirit, “drink into one Spirit.”
1 Peter 3:21 —The most important affirmation in this passage is that baptism now saves us. Close after this is the answer to the question, “What gives you a good conscience before God?” And the answer is baptism. He affirms that baptism is not a mere washing of dirt from the body, but is the channel through which the power of the resurrection, i.e., justifying grace, is given.
Hebrews 10:22 –This verse shows us assurance before God flows from sacramental participation and a repentant heart.
Ephesians 5:26 –This verse demonstrates that Christ’s sacrifice is applied to us through baptism.
Acts 19:2-6 –This passage shows that St. Paul expected that this group should have received the Holy Spirit in their baptism. Once it came to light that there was a deficiency in their baptism so as to make it invalid, he baptised and chrismated them. Upon this event, they received the Holy Ghost.

To be clear: what Orthobros routinely dismiss as "piety-signaling" is just biblical piety.
The irony, too, for the image-lovers is this: you cannot love the Prototype (God) without loving his images (people).
Reviling his images is reviling Him.

Ironically I was reading Family Life by St Paisios and he was saying how infants need to be baptized to be saved.

The worst people you know keep this laundry machine spin cycle of drama from the computer deus-ex-machina unclean spirit going 24/7 while you're totally oblivious, just posting icons and funny things. Be grateful you don't see it, and aren't liable to engage with it everyday.
Just a friendly reminder. @blessedmikko is claiming that Nicholai in Korea and myself have been making videos making long posts etc arguing that we insist people should share lewd pictures with minors.
Literally never happened lol. He is currently on a weird defense of Voice of Sleazin they are both Roman Catholics so it does make sense. Sadly Miko hasn't recovered after his gay furry porn stash was exposed lol.

Self-proclaimed Christian “Nicholai Korea” (neo-Pelagian lolcow): ‘We aren’t imputed with or inherit sin.’
His own patriarch, Kirill, in his Christmas Sermon this year:
‘Upon men—upon the whole of mankind—lay the seal of original sin: that sin which the first human beings committed there, in Paradise.
Yet again the inquisitive modern mind may say: “So what? Someone sinned—what has that to do with us? We live in the twenty-first century; why should we celebrate our deliverance from some original sin?”
The answer is this: sin is transmitted by inheritance just as other characteristics are. In truth, we bear within ourselves, in our very nature, much that does not belong to us personally, but belonged to our parents and perhaps to our forefathers. And we acknowledge this as something entirely real.
Hereditary characteristics are indeed transmitted from father and mother to their children, and more generally from generation to generation. Yet while conceding the possibility of transmitting biological hereditary characteristics, unbelieving people refuse to acknowledge that the sin committed by mankind at the dawn of human history could likewise be transmitted. It could—and emphatically so.
And this sin was transmitted, among other ways, through culture itself. Thus ancient culture too absorbed sinful principles which flowed from that very original sin.’
–Christmas Sermon, 7/1/2026
I was listening to a collection of Saint Phileret’s homilies on the feasts of our Lady while driving yesterday, what a spiritual treasure

Martin Luther would’ve drowned you in the ocean for rebaptizing and not believing in the sacraments
In light of Reformation month, I'll be posting several posts of what the Reformers thought of the Roman Catholic gospel:
“Now the true Gospel has it that we are justified by faith alone, without the deeds of the Law. The false gospel has it that we are justified by faith, but not without the deeds of the Law. The false apostles preached a conditional gospel.
So do the papists. They admit that faith is the foundation of salvation. But they add the conditional clause that faith can save only when it is furnished with good works. This is wrong.”
- Martin Luther (1535) - Commentary on Galatians 2:4-5

I’m sure that in the great Twitter War of 2026 I’m supposed to side with the OrthoBros against their opponents. But you know what?
The “OrthoBros” are an embarrassment and a stain on our Church. They often push genuine inquirers away and convert *nobody* to true spiritual life. I’ve been treated worse by the OrthoBro cult than I’ve ever been treated by atheists, Muslims, or Jews.
Their opponents of various confessions are 100% right about what they’re witnessing. They’re right about the total lack of fruit on display. They’re right about the personality disorders and the carnal, monstrous behavior.
I would vastly prefer to side with those who (allegedly) share my own faith than with those who do not. But the OrthoBro cult makes that impossible to do while still maintaining a sense of conscience and dignity.
To dismiss all feedback about one’s spiritual state as “piety signaling” is to announce, as loudly as possible, that one does not truly fear God. If someone criticizes you and they’re right, it takes humility to examine yourself and discern whether you *do* actually need to shape up.
It’s probably safe to dismiss one random person’s opinion of you if you’re not getting the same feedback from dozens of others, but if you’re hearing the same thing day in and day out then you should probably pay attention.
As a mentor of mine nearly half my life ago said: “If someone tells you you have a tail, you can probably just ignore them. If three people tell you you have a tail, you might want to turn around and take a look.”
