    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    No, it means baptise. And baptism has a meaning that has nothing whatever to do with submerging anyone.

    It's Advent; season of hope for all the faithful.

    You tell a sad story, but it cannot be a story of your own life because Luther has been dead these past 400+ years and no Lutheran or Catholic has persecuted you physically; though I dare say that some have contradicted your erroneous teaching.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Perhaps you do not know it, so I shall tell you, that "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one has been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God." is a quote from the bible, and not an interpretation offered by anyone.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    He said baptise, it is you who wishes to 'translate' that word as submerge. Nearly all of the English bibles I have seen avoid that error in translation because English borrowed the word baptise from the Greek of Jesus' apostles, and it is the habit of English speakers to use the perfectly good...

    It's Advent; season of hope for all the faithful.

    Sir, are you not a Baptist; didn't the Baptists excoriate Luther and his baptism as Popish, are you not appealing to an enemy of the religion whose label you have appropriated? And the person to whom you responded is in fact a Lutheran who follows Luther's teaching on baptism and would likely...

    There is one baptism.

    Some teach that there are many baptisms, many teach that there are two - one with water, another with the Holy Spirit - yet the holy scriptures assert that there is one baptism just as there is one faith and one lord. Thus, the holy apostle wrote: Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit...

    The light of the world which enlightens every person, he is the one that we receive teaching from and who we study under, he is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    We baptise with water, but the one who is to come, who will judge the living and the dead, he is the one who baptises with the baptism that we teach.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The words of the wise are like a goad, and like nails deeply fastened, which, through the counsel of teachers, are set forth by one pastor. You should require no more than this, my son. For there is no end to the making of many books. And excessive study is an affliction to the flesh...

    I leave it to you to teach on that matter, one who has not experienced it is better not to expound on it in the presence of an expert.

    God says ... And this is the Promise, which he himself has promised to us: Eternal Life. I have written these things to you, because of those who would seduce you. But as for you, let the Anointing that you have received from him abide in you. And so, you have no need of anyone to teach you...
