Hey, if an infant is moved by God to believe and follow God, no one will stand against it. But, you know that never happens. Parents get their children baptized and then perpetuate the lie that the water baptism caused God to extend saving grace upon them. Yet there is zero teaching that God...

There was nothing in the video about Mary's assumption. Why bring Lazarus into the thread?

Do you scripture? There is no reason to watch a video when we have God's word to guide us.

We won't see that. Your first sentence is false. Your second sentence can be said of all whom God has redeemed. Everyone to whom God gives the gift of faith is just as favored as Mary. When we get to heaven, Mary will be worshipping God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit just like...

Why would we care what Calvin thought? We are not bound by the thoughts of a 16th century person. We are bound by the word of God. Let us stick to that. Sola Scriptura, Josiah.

Nope. Brian, you are forcing your church tradition into the text. This is exactly what Josiah does as well. Rather than let the Bible speak for itself, you are inputting your church teachings into any verse you imagine might fit with what your church says. We must always question our church...

I have no new tradition, Josiah. You can make that false statement forever and you will forever be false.

Mark 10:15 has nothing to do with baptism at all. Mark 10:15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

I am forcing no tradition. I am reading the Bible and seeing zero infants baptized I conclude that the Bible does not, in fact, teach infant baptism. I do see an early church false doctrine introduced as a tradition and then expanded upon throughout the ages so that now we have the false...

No one is saved by baptism. Not adults and not children. Baptismal regeneration is a false doctrine. God does not teach this. Traditions of men teach this doctrine.

Brian, this is a heretical teaching, which makes salvation an act of works apart from God's grace. Mark 10 says nothing about infant baptism and salvation. You are forcing your tradition into the Bible rather than getting your tradition from the Bible. If God meant to redeem infants by having...

Matthew 15:1-9 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God...

Matthew 12:18-21 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; a bruised reed he will not break...

Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father...

This is a really weak argument. The context very clearly points to these being Jesus brothers and sisters by kinship, not generality. Joseph had sex with Mary as she was his wife. Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but...

Mary was not a perpetual virgin. Matthew 1 makes this clear. Therefore, when the Bible refers to Jesus brothers and sisters one need conclude that these are Mary's children. Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew...

Israel is the Redeemed and Adopted children of the promise. The New Covenant is for us whom God has chosen. It is not for a secular nation called "Israel." That nation is a nation that has no place in the Kingdom of God. However, people who trace their lineage to Israel (Jacob) may be children...

The covenants all relate to the coming of the promised one who will save his people from their sins. God's people are the people of the promise. From Jacob (Israel) the promised one would come. God would keep Israel's offspring so that the root of David could be revealed. The nation we know as...

Dispensationalism is such a compartmentalized system. To make it work you have to force God into many different actions based on times and ages. Covenant theology is so much more connected with scripture. It's why I left dispensationalism. There were too many irreconcilable pieces.

All who believe. The verses, in context, prove this assertion. Zero verses prove infant baptism. It is a non-biblical position.
