Hey guys,
This week we will take a different approach. Typically, I suggest avoiding commentaries when reading scripture. Since we have read and studied the book of Galatians, we'll take this week to discuss several interpretive challenges presented in Galatians. We will use what we've learned to discuss the following challenges.
1. Baptismal regeneration – a big phrase that means baptism is necessary for salvation. After our study, how do you feel about baptism being necessary for salvation? Why?…..the scripture that is in question is Gal 3:27
3:27 baptized into Christ have put on Christ Believers who have been baptized have participated in Christ's death and resurrection (see 2:19; compare Rom 6:6). Paul does not, however, present baptism as a replacement for circumcision; faith in Christ Jesus is the only requirement for entrance into the family of God (Gal 3:26).
27 as many. Mat. 28:19, Mat. 28:20. Mar. 16:15, 16. Ac. 2:38; Ac. 8:36–38; Ac. 9:18; Ac. 16:15, Ac. 16:31–33. Ro. 6:3, Ro. 6:4; 1 Co. 12; 1 Co. 13; Col. 2:10–12. 1 Pe. 3:21. put. Job 29:14. Is. 61:10. Lu. 15:22. Ro. 3:22; Ro. 13:14. Ep. 4:24. Col. 3:10.
Authority and submission, especially between men and women. What are your thoughts on authority?
There have been extremes that people have gone to with authority and submission. We should never take those things to extremes again!
Why? People who try to chase after authority over everyone and who want everyone to submit to them have no concept of the command to submit one to another in the fear of God
The scripture in question is 3:28.
Can a person lose his/her salvation? This is a great question and Charles Spurgeon was able to sort it out: "Armenian (Wesleyan) vs Calvinistic argument that has gone on for centuries. The sovereignty of God versus the free will of man. Spurgeon answered it best when he said they are parallel pillars of truth and friends that never need to be reconciled."

The scripture in question is 3:28.
28 aThere is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is 1neither male nor female; for byou are all one in cChrist Jesus. NASB95
a3:28 neither Jew nor Greek Paul emphasizes that the standard categories that often divide people—race, social status, gender—do not apply to those who are in Christ. It is not that such criteria cease to exist; rather, these distinctions are not grounds for exclusion from the life that God offers to all people in Christ. Because God is one (v. 20), He seeks to establish through Christ a single, unified family. The Faithlife Study Bible Copyright 2012 Logos Bible Software.
28 neither. Ga. 5:6. Ro. 1:16; 2:9, 10; 3:29, 30; 4:11, 12; 9:24; 10:12–15. 1 Co. 7:19; 12:13. Ep. 3:5–10. Col. 3:11. male. 1 Co. 7:14. for. Jno. 10:16; 11:52; 17:20, 21. 1 Co. 12:12. Ep. 2:13–22; 4:4, 15,16.

Why?
The scripture in question is Gal 5:4.
4 You have been severed from Christ, you who 1are seeking to be justified by law; you have afallen from grace. NASB95
15:4 attempting to be justified by the law Here Paul equates submission to circumcision with the attempt to be justified by the law. Seeking to be justified by means outside of Christ is foreign to the gospel message, and results in estrangement from Christ. The Faithlife Study Bible Copyright 2012 Logos Bible Software.
ayou have fallen from grace If someone depends on the law for justification, they have effectively rejected God's gift of grace in Christ.The Faithlife Study Bible Copyright 2012 Logos Bible Software.
Finally, Paul erases the line between Israel and the church calling it "Israel of God" in Gal 6:16 What are your thoughts on the "Israel of God" that Paul describes? Why?
16 And those who will 1walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the aIsrael of God.
Ga. 6:16 walk. Ga. 5:16, 25. Ps. 125:4, 5. Phil. 3:16. peace Ga. 1:3. Nu. 6:23–27. 1 Ch. 12:18. Ps. 125:5. Jno. 14:27; 16:33. See on Ro. 1:7. Phil. 4:7.the Israel. Ga. 3:7–9, 29. Ps. 73:1. Is. 45:25. Ho. 1:10. Jno. 1:47. Ro. 2:28, 29; 4:12; 9:6–8. Phil. 3:3. 1 Pe. 2:5–9.
For this discussion, you are free to consult commentaries and other scripture to support your positions. Always remember the context of the scripture and to take care to maintain the context for discussion……these are items we need to wrestle with and align our thoughts with those of God.

a6:16 Israel of God There are several ways of understanding this phrase. It could indicate those who come to faith in Christ and follow the rule described in Gal 6:15. It also could refer specifically to believing Jews.
