I am posting this just for the record, because the Jesuit continues to post.In answer to his mindless last post: 1. First we were discussing covenant baptism. His present argument in that context is irrelevant, despite his protestations, because in an effort to arrive at the truth about Baptism the only Court of Appeal is the Bible!! Of course since he despises the Bible, he cannot understand that. 2. My comment to JY was in direct response to his about obtaining membership in the RCC. There is certainly no intention on my part to connect my comment here to the covenant baptism thread. Is anyone else finding this liars postings trying? He seems unable to process information in a logical fashion and every post of his must evidence the true state of his heart which is just full of hatred. I have no doubts that this man is not converted and agree with Observer that he needs to be converted! |

John Yurich USA wrote: Nobody can convert to the Catholic Church if they support homosexuality and abortion as during the conversion ceremony they are asked if they support abortion and homosexuality. And they have to state that they do not support abortion and homosexuality or their conversion can't be completed. How do you suppose the homosexuals and other perverts got to be Priests then? And if accounts in the press are to be believed, one even got to be Pope! |

SteveR wrote: JY was probably referencing the very Biblical baptizing of entire households(wife, children, servants) Acts 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. Acts 16:15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. 1 Corinthians 1:16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas I guess you can tell from the term "household" that it must include unsaved little ones?! Bible reading and understanding are definitely not your forte! |

Observer wrote: ..."Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is CHRIST"!! ... That is absolutely right Observer. Great post!All the promises relate to Christ and all blessings under this covenant are secured by Christ for the elect - those who will come to participate in Christ by faith. Abraham became a child of God by faith, and all who are his spiritual seed (the true children of Abraham) will also become children of God by faith in Christ. This is the ONLY covenant that exists and matters. No one can sire a godly child! No one can convert his child! No one can secure spiritual privileges for their children by birth. All are sinners and all must come the same way! SteveR's ignorant assessment (recurring theme with all his posts) that unsaved children in churches which don't accept the Presby covenantal view are somehow abused is just stupid beyond belief. How he thinks he is going to gain anything by such stupid comments is beyond me. Should we perhaps remind him again of the physical abuses suffered by countless thousands at the hands of priests in his beloved RCC!! THE BRIDE OF CHRIST according to SteveR |

1 Corinthians 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.If the Lord's supper is the only enduring ordinance then why does the apostle Paul refer in the above verse to "ordinances"? Baptists have always maintained that there are 2 ordinances; Baptism and the Lord's supper. J4, I have been reading some of your posting history. Seems like you have a penchant for novelty. Why is that I wonder? ______________________________________ Chris, You will see from the verse I quoted that the apostle praised the Corinthians for keeping the ordinances as he delivered them. There are many things in the Christian faith which may not affect one's salvation, but when Jude wrote "ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints", he did not say "unless it does not affect one's salvation". The faith as delivered stands as a unity- every word of God is important. Assail one and you assail the whole! |

John for JESUS wrote: JOHN UK...Why would Jesus be talking about water baptism and not the more important baptism of the Holy Spirit. Why would He not have also said to practice communion if He was only talking about a water baptism sacrament? Context, context, context..The commission is about making disciples, not what should happen after they became disciples. Unless you think that communion is essential to making a disciple! As for why this is water baptism, that is how the apostles clearly understood it, and how could Christ ask the disciples to do something out of their power? If have evidence to the contrary why not produce it instead of always just suggesting theories. Clearly you have an agenda. So why not just be upfront and present all the evidence you have. This argument has been gone over many times in the past in an attempt to try and lay aside an ordinance of Christ! BTW it's an ordinance NOT a sacrament! John UK Saw yours after I had edited mine. Brethren of like mind! |

John for JESUS wrote: I'd like to point to another baptism. Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Could it be that water baptism was just a type of true baptism? If John the Baptist baptism is over, why still use it? Just not a tenable theory because, besides other reasons, the Lord would not have included the command to Baptize in the great commission nor would Paul have Baptized anyone after Pentecost ( see 1 Cor 1.14). |
