    Water Baptism

    This seemed like a claim that I was wrong without any scripture to support it: I could have defended my position both from scripture and exegesis, but why should I bother if all I am going to get in response is opinions without any support.

    Water Baptism

    Is “don’t use the word Anabaptist”really such a hard request to oblige?

    Water Baptism

    CLARIFICATION: You are a new player to the Josiah - Albion game of telling me that I am wrong while providing no scripture or exegesis of that scripture to back up your opinions. I did not mean to imply that you are new to the board. RESPONSE: You have still offered no scripture or exegesis...

    Water Baptism

    Perhaps I was unclear in my expectations ... Why don't YOU: 1. make A statement 2. list A verse of your choosing either supporting or countering that statement 3. offer some sort of brief commentary (exegesis) on that verse related to that statement. In exchange: IF the statement and...

    Water Baptism

    The ironic part is that "I" know that, but a lot of infrequent flyers at the Roman Catholic Church are placing a lot of their eggs in the "Member of the Catholic Church" and "Light a candle for those in Purgatory" baskets. [Speaking of Italian-American Catholic relatives that I know.] The...

    Water Baptism

    You keep stating opinion not facts. :sadwavey: FYI: The Southern Baptist Convention states that its member churches baptize approximately 4,000 children under the age of 6 per year ... so the ENTIRE SBC must not be Credobaptist, either.

    Water Baptism

    I will continue to ignore for as long as you continue to ... 1. Tell me what I believe. 2. Call me an "Anabaptist". We tried that, it was an epic fail. You make a statement, list a verse of your choosing either supporting or countering that statement, and offer some sort of brief commentary on...

    Water Baptism

    :yawning: ... more pontification. How about 1 thought and 1 verse and a short exegesis of that verse? (preferably not telling me what I believe)

    Water Baptism

    I have admitted that I will baptize PEOPLE that believe, even if they are children so young that YOU CLAIM they cannot comprehend. There are adults that claim to have believed since 4 years old. Why should I assume that no 4 year old can believe when some people tell me they believed at that...

    Water Baptism

    :cheer: That's the Catholic Church I remembered from the Catholic Charismatic Fellowship that mandated that everything be done in order and first shared the gospel with THIS atheist sinner. [... but for an unconvincing explanation of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin and the...

    Water Baptism

    These are people who have “heard - believed - repented” and want to be baptized. I am perfectly willing to baptize any child (who are also people) that has “heard - believed - repented” and wants to be baptized. You are willing to baptize people (who in this case happen to be children) that...

    Water Baptism

    Since you are a new player, I’ll waste a minimum of time on your comments. So much pontification and so little exegesis. Don’t tell me I am wrong, show me from Scripture.

    Water Baptism

    For the record, I did respond ... it just got buried in the wall of posts with Josiah. I had no comments on your interpretation of the scriptures. Obviously you see it the way you described and I see it the way I described. For the rest, here goes ... Just curious, if baptism is all about...

    Water Baptism

    Yet you baptize people that have never repented and show no sign of believing. :confused: How is that different from spraying strangers on the street with a squirt gun?

    Water Baptism

    “No babies” is not a Credobaptist teaching, but "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” [Act 2:38] is a Credobaptist teaching. So is "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all...

    Water Baptism

    I said “also” and you changed that to “FIRST”. “Also” does not mean the same as “first”. However, just provide some Biblical evidence for baptism preceding repentance and I will completely yield the point. ‘kai’ may not mean “first”, but it does not mean “or” and it does not mean “without”...

    Water Baptism

    ... just as soon as you start LISTENING to what I am saying, rather than just waiting for a chance to TALK that ignores everything I said and just presumes to tell me what I believe. PS. I am not an Anabaptist. I am a Particular Baptist, an offshoot of the Reformed Theology movement and not of...

    Water Baptism

    Time to go on the offensive: Time to break out the BS Meter ... Josiah says "The Scripture ... does NOT say what you do." Act 2:38 says "Repent" Arthur said "repent" Josiah says "The Scripture ... does NOT say what you do." Act 2:38 says "each of you" Arthur said "each person" Josiah says...

    Water Baptism

    So I will just continue to follow the examples that were given (the people who believed, got baptized), and you can continue to follow the examples not given of what was not forbidden (parents might have believed for infants that might have been in households and that Apostles might have...
