    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Salvation is something that God does alone ... with or without your help by sprinkling anyone. [Romans 8:29-30 NASB] For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Nope. The accusation is not completely true, but it is also not completely false. You have never made the claim, but you have also avoided answering the question. Does baptizing a baby actually DO anything, and if so then WHAT? Lamm has stated that baptism saves (not in that exact word, but...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Blood on doorposts ... commanded by God in Exodus 12 Bringing your Children to church ... commanded by God in Proverbs 22:6, Hebrews 10:19-25, Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew 19:13-14 Baptizing your children whether they believe or not ... commanded by ????????? in ?????????

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    That covers only 27 people. You said EVERYONE without exception. There have been more than 27 Christians in 1500 years. That is why you felt the need to quote your ENTIRE post and IGNORE all but 2 words of mine. (Chalk that up to an epic fail.: 27 / 90 million = 0.00003% success). I posit...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Does the blood of lambs and bulls required by the Old Covenant have the power to remove sin? If it does have that power, then it was not necessary for Christ to die to remove the sin debt of men. Yet we know that the death of Christ was the only propitiation that had the power to remove sins...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Prove it. You keep making exaggerated claims about “not one person” in 1500 years, so what proof do you have to offer to support your claim. I am reasonably sure that the early Christian Church rejected the criticism that they practiced cannibalisim by eating human flesh and drinking human...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Really, because I do not see that in the Gospel accounts. Most of the “spiritual” dimension of communion comes from the Letters that expound on it. Where is this “no doubt” that it is not all just pointing to the future literal death of Christ on the cross exactly as the Passover was? Could...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    As was already pointed out, the Passover Meal was ALREADY symbolic (both of the past and the future) and Jesus was redefining the Body slain and the Blood poured out using significant symbolic items from a symbolic feast to establish a new act to be performed in remembrance of His future ACTUAL...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Do you seriously believe that a 5 point Calvinist, like this Particular (Reformed) Baptist doesn’t believe that God grants repentance and THAT is the problem? The problem is you use the words “God can” as if they automatically mean “God does” and then both act on that belief (by baptizing...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    I generally agree, although sometimes the paedobaptism rhetoric makes me wonder if “no one disputes” the answer. :) I doubt there is “THE” reason. The OP clearly had one reason to ask and answer his own question. MennoSota has another reason to believe what he believes and I have my own...

    Is Veneration of the Saints something that is allowed by God?

    The block of stone, no. However many practicing Catholics are offering prayers to saints and have no personal communication with God (and would admit as much). The object of their faith is their prayers to the Blessed Virgin. This is not the official teaching of the Church, but I have enough...

    And look where that led! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist). :)

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    I personally agree with open communion, but I have nothing but respect for the reasons why churches practice closed communion. I understand their perspective that it is a decision made out of honor and respect for the Holiness of God and His commands. :thumbsup:

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Ancient HOUSEHOLDS included servants and slaves as well as adult children, young children, unmarried women and small infants. It is paedobatists that are insisting that every being that might be considered part of a household must have been “baptizo” (immersed in water) along with Lydia and the...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    We do not know “from the New Testament” that the practice of baptizing children took place. We know from the ECF that the practice of baptizing children was common several centuries after the closing of the New Testament scriptures, but the whole point that the OP and MennoSota and this...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Were cats included in Egyptian households? They were VERY fond of pet cats and probably considered them part of the household. Does the Lutheran Church baptize small dogs for modern people that view them as their children?

    So ... that is the name of the Topic and the subject of the OP (neither of which were created by MennoSota). You are a big fan of keeping the conversation on topic.

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    What is “THIS” in your quote? What “IS HIS BODY”? Does that mean that His incarnate flesh was not “His body” since Jesus said that the loaf of bread “IS [HIS] BODY”? (How sure are we that Jesus was speaking literally here?)

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    Sorry chief, I speculated nothing. I just took the Lutheran dogma at its word and quoted the actual scripture rather than just loosely paraphrase it like others have. It says what it says and YOU believe about that whatever you choose to believe.
