    Baptism - Is it Innert or Effectual?

    If you are really interested in discussing the problem and solutions, you are correct in your evaluation that terms like “magic” are not helpful. However, that is only half of the problem. If I may illustrate using this topic as an example ... The TITLE of this topic is “Baptism - Is it...

    Baptism - Is it Innert or Effectual?

    Does the mind of man really wield that much power over the reality of God? How much does an infant think of the effectiveness of Baptism? (Is baptism not much if the infant thinks it isn’t much?)

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    [Luk 24:13, 15-16, 18, 33 NASB] 13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. ... 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and [began] traveling with them. 16 But their eyes were prevented...

    Baptism - Is it Innert or Effectual?

    The structure of Acts 2 is similar to the structure of the announcement of the Old Covenant. Presbyterians make much of this similarity as part of the claim that baptism has replaced circumcision. I would point out the similarities in detail, but it would probably just derail the established...

    Can the Faith of Parents Save Their Children?

    You might want to reread the actual account of what happened in the tenth plague. Your description of events does not match the events from scripture. EVERY parent did not slay a lamb for EVERY firstborn child (as your conclusions imply). That is not what was commanded by God and that is not...

    Can the Faith of Parents Save Their Children?

    What blessing did the faith of King David (a man after God’s heart) bring on each of his children? “I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” - GOD

    The revelance of the minor prophets

    While Hosea is unquestionably a picture of God and His people, I also found it the single best training manual for how to be a husband. Hosea NEVER stopped loving her. Hosea never stopped providing for her. When she hit rock bottom, Hosea not only redeemed her, but restored her. One should...

    Lukewarmness

    While I am not a particular fan of street corner evangelism (like that shown in the video) because I strongly doubt its effectiveness, there seems ample example from Scripture of the Apostolic Evangelists leading with the harsh “bad news” to bring into clarity the problem of sin, and then to...

    Can the Faith of Parents Save Their Children?

    How did David’s faith do as a protective covering and blessing over his family? What about the faith of Adam bringing blessings on Abel?

    a multitude from the Great Tribulation

    Would that “blinding” be an active work (like demonic possession), or a passive work (like the rampant pornography to feed our natural lusts of the flesh)?

    Credobaptism

    Just as a clarification, I was not advocating that the Bible always explicitly stated that people repented before baptism (I believe that they did, but would not make a volatile claim like the Bible always says so). I was advocating that the forgiveness of sins (as in ‘be baptized for the...

    Credobaptism

    Dude, take a Valium ... I just answered a question asked directly to me. Your question was already answered, but you have ears that refuse to hear the answer and THAT is something that I cannot fix.

    Credobaptism

    Paul repented in Acts 22:8 and 22:10 ... once again, repentance came before baptism but the sins were not forgiven until Paul had BOTH repented AND been baptized for the forgiveness of sin. Do Padeobaptist infants obey Acts 22:16 and wash away their sin with baptism while CALLING ON HIS NAME...

    Credobaptism

    It says “Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins.” Nowhere does scripture call for “baptism for the forgiveness of sins” WITHOUT repentance. If Peter says that repentance AND baptism yields forgiveness of sin, then baptism WITHOUT repentance will not yield forgiveness (otherwise...

    Credobaptism

    A monergist should know that God chooses you, you do not choose God. A “natural man” would not repent, only one who was first “made alive” by God is be capable of repentance. Therein lies the flaw in padeobaptism, without God’s monergistic call, there is no faith and without faith it is...

    Credobaptism

    This is a silly argument that you keep making, but it is simply not true. Padeobaptists are baptizing people that have not repented BEFORE they were baptized. Padeobaptists are baptizing people that are incapable of repenting DURING their baptism. Padeobaptists are baptizing people that are...

    Credobaptism

    I just checked and Acts 2:38 still says “Repent AND be baptized ... for the forgiveness of your sins”. I thought for a moment that Peter might have changed his mind and commanded us to “Be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins, and if God someday grants you faith, then go ahead and repent”...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    Is “faith” all we have been elected to? What if we have been elected to “discipleship” ... as in this: [Luke 6:20-36 NASB] 20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He [began] to say, "Blessed [are] you [who are] poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 "Blessed [are] you who hunger now...
