I have most certainly seen 3 year olds embracing the Faith in which they participated from Baptism at 40 days...

I mean, why would you want to raise your children outside the Faith Christ...
Hillary rigged the primary against Uncle Bernie...
And colluded with Russia to slander Trump...
I hope there will be jail time...
Meantime, elections have consequences...
And your American Queen lost...
Despite all her cheating...

Claiming to be a Christian does not make one a Christian...
Or do you think it does?
And even granting your claim, this simply makes them heretical Christians...

The Bread Consecrated IS the Body of Christ...
The bread un-Consecrated is NOT that Body...
The difference is not in the bread/Bread...
It is in the difference of the Blessing...
We have simple Blessed Bread...
We have Antidoron Bread...
We have Eucharistic Bread...
And yes, we also have...
A good pastor friend of mine, an Anabaptist, believed for years in Christ's crucifixion on Wednesday, with three days in the tomb, and Resurrection on Sunday... He pounded me with proofs of this for years... Then he met a Jewish Christian who explained it to him, and showed him that there was...
The Holy Fire in which Christ Baptizes us is normally not visible, except each Pascha in the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem...
Here is a 1 minute video showing it not burning even a beard...
If you have a beard and have had it catch, you will know how easily and quickly it burns...
And OK, yes -...
