The only argument to be made, falsely, is the continuation of old covenant and circumcision. I agree that it can't hurt but I do believe credobaptism is about obedience and Biblical.

Brand of fountain pens I like.

Alithis I'd be really interested in seeing your Scriptural and only Scriptural evidence to support that Christ was not both God and man whilst on Earth. I know you're big on gifts and I can't think of your reasoning as anything other than a means to your own end that Christ was given gifts and...

This assumes that the KJV isn't inaccurate. Wrongfully assumes, might I add.

It's not an "Obama did it" situation. ISIS is the result of a decade of instability, war, tens/hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and power vacuums left by the West. Is it really that surprising that ideologies united under a common denominator that then try and fill said vacuums...

What's to add to assertions that can't be backed up with Scripture that isn't loosely applied to say what the person wants it to say?

Indeed. Second-hand, yes, but far more believable than anything like we see as commonplace amongst a lot of the Charismatics.

Well, wasn't that their primary purpose? What's the point in tongues today if it isn't to witness to unbelievers and spread the gospel? What use is it if it's only a party trick to those that claim to have it too? Sounds like a lot of back-patting and not a lot of practical application...

I'm not saying it's 'just fine'... But they're a child. There have been people raped and left for dead that have forgiven the person on death row. As Christians we're expected to forgive. If we can't forgive someone with limited mental capacity to discern right from wrong to the extent than an...

That's awfully... far-fetched. It's like the argument about 'people coming to get mah guns'. It'd be an undertaking involving hundreds of thousands at the very least in a country of 300 million. It's not like people wouldn't find out immediately and put a stop to it.

To whom do you spread the gospel with this tongues?

That's justice to you? No wonder recidivism is so high in the U.S. if rehabilitation is sidelined by punishment... even for children!

Genesis 1:28 covers it;

Hey Alithis -- Since you've got this whole asking and getting part down, can you ask for the gift of healing please? I have numerous family members that would benefit from that and convert instantly. Plus the millions of people dying each year to preventable illnesses. You could go to Africa...

Greece just needs to grow a backbone and leave. They're victims of the world's largest and most expensive Ponzi scheme right now.

Indeed. So those purportedly 'blessed' with healing but don't do anything other than take centre-stage in front of a gullible congregation are the people that need Christ the most.

That's a bit too Biblical for these days. I mean, what's the point of a gift that's quantifiable and beneficial to anyone other than yourself? I mean come on!

Do you extend the same sentiments to Muslims as well?

People that pronounce 'escape' and 'especially' as 'excape' and 'expecially'.

And what of the testimonies that lack such superstitions?
