    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Are you admitting that you are baptizing people that have no more belief in Jesus than “a parrot”? Some padeobaptists have claimed that God gives faith to infants at their baptism, yet you now claim that it is “ludicrous” to think that even a 4 year old can believe.

    Water Baptism

    I read the article by Piper and I liked it. The whole exchange between you and Menno appears to be as unproductive as my exchanges with Josiah.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    I am not hating on the KJV, but at the time it was written there were only a FEW manuscripts available for them to work from. As a result, the KJV is subject to some errors due to “small sample size”. By the time the first of the 20th Century translations came around, thousands of manuscripts...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    Yup, but so is "I and the Father are one." [John 10:30] ... that still doesn’t prevent it from being true. :)

    Water Baptism

    How is that “Good News”? How is that different from the Law of Moses?

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Just to add confusion, isn’t there evidence that Jesus might have generally quoted from the Septuagint? I remember reading that the wording of Jesus’ OT quotes more closely matches the Septuagint than the Hebrew Old Testament (as a word for word quote).

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    He is not saying that. He is saying that the Levites who were experts in Hebrew in a nation of ‘Jews’ that didn’t speak Hebrew EXCLUDED the Apocrypha from the Scripture as they copied Scripture. Seventy-two non-Levite ‘Jewish Scholars’ (who are not experts in Hebrew) made the decision to add...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    You will have to present the specific post in order to speak in specifics, however for myself, the opposition to baptizing infants is not because of their age, but rather, it is because infants have not and cannot do the other things that all people seem to be instructed in scripture (by word...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    Would it be fair to characterize the Mennonite requirement as the “age of accountability” is when the ‘person’ (irrespective of age) can “request baptism” and understand what it is that they are requesting?

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    The Church of God is a Pentecostal denomination founded in Tennessee and offers the following simple Declaration of Faith which includes its views on Baptism: “The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    The guideline for the beliefs of members of the Southern Baptist Convention is the Southern Baptist Faith and Message 2000. Here is the quote from the SBFM2000 on Baptism: “VII. Baptism and the Lord's Supper Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    A statement from the Lutheran perspective: “NO ONE in the Bible (for for the first 1600 years of Christianity) ever said, "Thou canst NOT baptize any unless and untill they hath celebrated their "X" birthday and we refuse to tell you what birthday that is." Anti-Paedobaptism, invented by a...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Jesus established the limits and content of Scripture as it existed when he lived ...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Maccabees has stories of Purgatory that are not in any of the teachings of Jesus. Are you certain that ALL of the stories in the Qu’ran are not found in the Bible? [I freely admit that most are gnostic nonsense, but that is the point that I am making. You are using the fact that Maccabees MAY...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Here is the flaw in your logic. Josephus, the first century Jewish Historian wrote about the events in the Maccabean War. Since Hebrews talks about an event in that Josephus also talks about, would that make Josephus writings also Scripture? There are also Gospels written in the fourth century...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Paul did not write Hebrews. The writer of Hebrews appears to be referencing the events described in 2 Maccabees. That proves that the writer of Hebrews believes (under divine inspiration) that the events he referenced did actually happen. That does not make 2 Maccabees scripture. If you can...
