A Short Short Time Ago . . In A Christendom Not Far Away . . . The evil Empire and its allies sought to subdue the righteous Rebel Alliance, and constantly spread around their own beliefs and those supposedly of the rebels. Or was it ... An alliance of intransigent rebels sought to isolate...

It seems that nobody has yet pointed out in this thread, that there are some significant, God-inspired prophecies in the Inspired Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), that may have some relevance to the discussion. Some of those prophecies are naturally expressed in terms that were meaningful and...

In response to my thought in Post #1: bill1231 in Post #3 said: I thank bill1231 for responding. However, I must point out that to be fair, I think I ought to reveal both sides of the coin. A balanced approach is definitely preferable. That means exposing both the real reason for the...

… Continued And as for TurtleHair's Post #5: Actually, I don't think anyone asked me about “age X”. I did point out the dishonesty of accusing non-infant-baptisers of having an undisclosed “age X” below which baptism was not allowed. That dishonesty became deliberate when its untruth was...

Wow! Talk about a cat among the pigeons. Josiah in Post #4, because I pointed out that my offer to also expose opposition churches (“believer's baptism” churches), had been ignored, stated: I find all that rather amazing. Don't you? I must confess that I find it difficult to follow Josiah's...

In Post #563 on Page 57 in the Infant Baptism thread, with regard to my identifying untrustworthiness in two religious organisations (both of which happen to promulgate and practice infant baptism), Lämmchen said: I hereby accede to that suggestion. When considering the original topic from...

Is it right to ask others to pray for us? Maybe so. But it may depend on who. Paul knew Stephen was dead. Paul knew Stephen was righteous and had been granted a vision of the risen Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Yet Paul did not pray to him. Paul did not pray to any dead Christians...

More inconsistency. In Posts #335, Josiah gave a little more information (rather awkwardly stated) relating to his contention regarding churches not baptising people (infants, children, whatever) below age X: Never disclosed? All a mum and dad have to do in church Y is ask for their child to...

How about a little humour? In Post #285 I offered a tongue-in-cheek idea that people could repetitively ask the same questions even after valid, pointed answers had been given. And then pointed out that it had already been happening. In response, MoreCoffee in Post #286 stated good-humouredly...

This thread has become repetitively boring. Let's see if we can liven it up a bit. Why don't we determine which organisations can be trusted to be truthful, and their representations therefore trusted? MoreCoffee in Post #289 stated...

MoreCoffee in Post #283 asked: I've just had a great idea. Why doesn't someone ask a question or two (or three), then when the questions are answered, ask the same question or questions a different way? Why not do it multiple times? Oh. I've just realised my idea is not original after all...

Lämmchen in Post #282 asked: To which I simply reply, what's the point? Direct, clear scriptural references are ignored by ritualists. They prefer to read into scriptures of their choosing, the things they wish and need to be there. I come from an Anglican background. You didn't know that...

… Continued In Post #111 on Page 12, I pointed out how MoreCoffee in his Post #104 on Page 11 had unwittingly argued against his own position – that of defending infant baptism as practiced in the Roman Catholic Church. In reply, in Post #124 (Page 13) MoreCoffee asked: Now to those...

I note that Josiah is still promulgating the invalid “age X” argument. I further note that none of his religious compatriots have counselled him to stop using it. Not publicly anyway. Which simply demonstrates that they must all recognise the absolute need to keep using that dishonest...

It is interesting to note how much repetitive store is placed (in this thread and in others) on being able to state that the households of the Philippian jailer and Lydia that were baptised, included everyone in their households, and that those households possibly (probably?) included infants...

… Continued And what of “The benefits to infants are the same as adults.”? My questions relating to the specifics of that idea have remained pointedly unanswered. From Post #116 (Page 12): And from Post #15 on Page 2 of the thread “Do you believe God works through means?": Sensible...

… Continued Lämmchen then offered, under the heading “Are There Any Indications In The Bible That Infants Were Baptised?”: Colossians 2:11-12, Acts 2:37-39, Acts 16:14-15, Acts 16:33 With respect to Colossians 2:11-12, Lämmchen stated: As Lämmchen probably already knew, and if not, is being...
