    Credobaptism

    Scriptural Instructions for Baptism: Baptism is not like dipping cattle in a pool of insecticide. One does not round up the entire community and drive them through the water for a “just in case” baptism of sheep, goats, and wolves. Baptism is for those under the New Covenant, and not for those...

    Credobaptism

    Since the topic on “the undisclosed age of X” was so much fun, I thought it would be GREAT to start one on Credobaptism next. CREDOBAPTISM: from the Latin word "credo" meaning 'creed' or 'I believe'. Credobaptism is the practice of baptizing only those who are able to make a profession of...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Is it a Lutheran Apologetic, or just your personal pet apologetic that the word “kai” means “do one or the other, but never, ever do both together” ... like baptizing people who believe. They can be baptized as babies, or they can believe as adults, but Josiah forbids the baptism of people who...

    Nope, that was not my point.

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    The Apostles and those traveling with them (Mark and Luke) could not write down everything they did and saw, but what they did write down was not a collection of random historic snapshots that just “happened” to be preserved for posterity, while other “photo albums” were (by chance) lost to us...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Some statements that predate the ECF, since Josiah brought it up ... Jesus Christ [c.6 BC to AD 30-33] "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." [Gospel of Mark] Apostle Peter [c.4 BC to AD 62-64] "Repent and be baptized, every one of...

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    Just spitballing a completely wild hypothesis for no purpose other than to challenge the “given assumption” that the world has always been pretty much like it is now. What if most of the current ocean water was contained within pockets in the earth’s crust. We know that there is already...

    Civil discourse - On the Bodily assumption of the Blessed Virgn Mary into heaven.

    If I doubted that the Apostles or ECF ever taught that Jesus was raised from the dead, one could point to the writings of Polycarp and the Gospels and the Letters of Paul and John. If I then questioned what evidence was there that the “Bible” and writings of the ECF existed before the Middle...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Of course, Josiah reposting content is a given. What I wonder is if he ever adds anything new. We should quote and use a celebrate emoji if and when Josiah posts something he has never posted before! :cake:

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Learn some Church History from 1600 forward. Modern Baptists are not Anabaptists without the "Ana". Amish, Mennonite and General Baptists have Anabaptist roots (as well as differences). Particular Baptists do not have Anabaptist roots. (Nor does the Church of God, nor Pentecostals ...) You...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    So time for an update. First a brief note of clarification on the word "NOBODY". It was never my intent to speak for the entire population of the planet Earth when I posted that statement. My frame of reference was more humble. I intended to advance the claim that nobody on Christianity...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    You said ... I corrected you .. To which you respond ... Your response is nonsensical. You claimed MennoSota proved your case from a Baptist Confession and I correctly pointed out that MennoSota quoted a Mennonite Confession and not a Baptist Confession. You simply misstated which...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Just speculation on my part, but they placed "really" in brackets [] to clearly denote that it was a word added to clarify the meaning. Without that word, the sentence reads as almost transcendental ... they were of us, but not of us (que strange music). The Greek grammatical structure may...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    ... but doesn't "showing that they never were people who believed according to apostolic example and teaching" (as you say) mean they were "never truly saved" (as Arsenios requested a verse claiming)? [Can one be saved believing damnable heresies ... like Jesus never really died on the Cross as...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Me thinkieth thou surely doth jest. :stoic-hero: [1Jo 2:19 NASB] 19 They went out from us, but they were not [really] of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out,] so that it would be shown that they all are not of us. "us" = just a bunch of good ol'...
