    Communion of the Body of Christ

    [Mat 26:26 NASB] 26 While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." [Mar 14:22 NASB] 22 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and...

    Communion of the Body of Christ

    So Jesus’ Body is made of bread and Jesus’ blood is made of wine just as Jesus said. The words mean EXACTLY what they say because Jesus never uses imagery or symbolism or typologies when explaining spiritual truths.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    From scripture, what EXACTLY do you see as “the promise”?

    Did Jesus approve of Usury in Luke 19?

    “Did Jesus approve of usury in Luke 19:23?” No. :)

    “For 1500 years there was no ...” questioning the supremacy of the Apostolic Bishops and the superiority of the clergy over the laity, until the reformers came along and said “Let the word of God be our guide”. So that is why we are here, seeking your wisdom from the word of God about...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    I actually find the term “on the historic side” fascinating. From what we read in the Gospels, there was no baptizing by John the Baptist of those that did not come to him for His “baptism of repentance”, nor did Jesus baptized anyone whose sins He forgave. Jesus did not baptize the ‘little...

    TOPIC: If paedobaptism were taught ... THIS topic is about scripture and paedobaptism, not “anti-paedobaptism” or “age X”.

    "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." [Matthew 28:19-20] ... Just in case you were curious...

    ... so are unbelievers and the God hating reprobates of Romans 1 that God gave over to their sinful desires.

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Your position ignores the Title of the thread and the Opening Post which clarifies the topic. No one asked about a statement forbidding baptism, so the “off topic” “shell game” is yours. Here is the OP for handy reference: TITLE: If paedobaptism were taught ... See, no mention of any...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    If one person gets to define what questions can be asked and what answers are correct in a topic, it really isn’t a “Topic of discussion”, is it. It might be easier to identify your intention if you stated it more clearly in the Title ... perhaps: “Josiah’s Paedobaptism Blog”. Then people...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Paedobaptism is the baptizing of children. I asked if the children you baptized had faith. If you didn’t want to answer (which apparently you do not), then you should have just said so.

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Not believing in Perseverance of the Saints is fine for this discussion. General Baptists (as opposed to Particular Baptists) believe what you believe as well. I was simply attempting to learn if you viewed the baby as “saved” at the moment when it (he/she) was baptized and received the Holy...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Does it really? Would you please quote the WHOLE verse, because I seem to remember that there is a bit more to it than that. However, setting that aside for the moment, let me ask for clarification on something. We Baptists believe that when someone receives the Holy Spirit, that means that...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    This is the Paedobaptism thread. YOU posted: So it is perfectly reasonable for me to ask: Since you are adamant that you are not baptizing the “dead in their trespasses and sins” (as MennoSota likes to call them). This is a Paedobaptism question. It has NOTHING to do with anti-paedobaptism...

    Different levels in Heaven

    The closest thing you will find in Scripture is a single reference to “the third heaven” ... [2 Corinthians 12:2] I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. To...

    Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

    I quoted an entire thread of conversation that started with you and ended with a post directed at me about the duty of the Church to judge EVIL within the body. As I said, you misquoted me by posting part of a conversation out of context. Congratulations, you scored a debate point by bearing...

    Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

    Deliberately misquoting me by posting part of a conversation, not directed at you, out of context is not very nice. 1. Not hyperbole (exaggeration for dramatic effect). It is how things actually FEEL to me coming here and the reason I post less. 2. You keep calling me your “friend”, but your...

    What leads you to believe that any of the infants you are baptizing have the divine gift of faith?
