    Children obey their parents... The beginning of their discipleship in Christ... Direct obedience to Christ telling you what to do in each and every matter throughout the day is not how one begins... Similarly with obeying those who "have the rule over you..." To obey Paul is to obey...

    You are right, there is ONE Baptism for the forgiveness of sins... THAT Baptism ENTERS us INTO Christ... It was commanded to the Apostles to do... To Baptize ALL the Nations... The Holy Spirit does not Baptize... The Servants of our Lord Baptize... They Baptize IN the Holy Spirit... And we...

    Where is your "magic scripture" to establish "Spirit filling participation" by Apostolic Baptism into Christ? Suddenly no Holy Scripture? Arsenios

    The monks serving the Church carve our a hole in the rock wall where they sleep... When they go to sleep for the last time, that opening is sealed with mortar... The relics of a Holy Person are Holy... The body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit... The death of a Holy One is Life... "To live is...

    A building cannot save... But if it is built for the sake of God... Built in prayer and worship... Consecrtated in love and joy... Even a modest one such as the one I serve within... And is used only for the Service of Christ... When you enter into it... Just as when you encounter one of...

    Water Baptism

    All of them in the NT from the time of John the Baptist until now... Salvation is now IN CHRIST... Until we are IN Christ, we are not saved... And the Bible is clear... We are Baptized INTO Christ... And the Apostles Baptize by Christ's command... Need the Scriptures showing this?? Arsenios

    Sorry - I am burned out on your cut and pastes... I am tired of your "dead corpses can't repent till they're regenerated" repeated iterations... It is a discussion I am not willing to have with you... Cut and paste with no engagement with doctrinaire philosophical absolutes is not interesting...

    That is true - Who COULD he obey?? Yet there are but two masters in this fallen life... One is the master of death... Satan and his demons... The other is the Giver of Life - Christ and His Angels... So one is obeying one's body unto death, for all bodies die... The other is obeying what...

    The issues you raise that place Justification at the beginning of one's spiritual journey is off the radar in the EOC for good reason... We place one's whole life as the beginning, even for atheists... And the beginning of Christian life as the Call to Repentance, which you deny... So you and...

    Maybe we should do a thread on what Salvation in Christ IS...??? I mean, we have very different understandings of what that means... Yet I would be surprised if we did not have a commonality of direct knowledge... Arsenios

    Catholic, in the Confession of the Creed, is an Adjective... Rome has tried to usurp it as their exclusive nominative... The Reformation believed them... Lies die hard... Look at the poor Samurai in WWII... Arsenios
