    Water Baptism

    Just for the record, the real Particular Baptist concern is: "make disciples" and "baptizing" [Matthew 28:19] "Repent" and "be baptized" [Acts 2:38] "received his word were baptized" [Acts 2:41] "believed" and "baptized" [Acts 8:12] "What prevents me from being baptized?” (asking) [Acts...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    That proves that Christmas was banned at one point in the mid 1600’s, but not that Presbyterians generally did not celebrate Christmas until the mid 20th Century (300 years) as you claim. Remember, you said this is a “defining trait” of the denomination. “Calvinist” is a Sotierology, not a...

    :birgits_giggle: OK, that was funny. However, you really should erase those hand written notes; they can get you in BIG trouble ... ... If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. [Rev 22:18 NLT] I ain’t takin no chances...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    There are no concordance results for "Jesus" AND "died" AND "for" AND "all" in the ASV. There are no concordance results for "Jesus" AND "died" AND "for" AND "all" in the ESV. There are no concordance results for "Jesus" AND "died" AND "for" AND "all" in the KJV. There are no concordance results...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    Do you just make this stuff up as you go, or do you have some large book of dubious unsupported opinions that you cut and paste from? Take this statement for example “Some forget that one of the distinctive marks of Calvinism for the first 300 years or so was Calvinist held it was forbidden to...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    I must have missed all those Apostolic prayers to Mary, Queen of the Universe and Co-redemptrix ... and the part where the Apostles sold forgiveness in the form of Indulgences ... and the part where the Apostles lit all those candles for Stephen to shorten his time in purgatory. I’ll stick with...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    Your question is an absurd one. Do you seriously believe that MenoSota uses the internet as an integral part of corporate worship? If not, then your curiosity about internet use is not generally applicable to the topic. However, to answer your question concerning the use of the internet in...

    Regulative Principle vs Normative Principle

    Did they play music during the Last Supper? Would it be wrong to play music during Communion? We sing the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus probably didn’t sing the Lord’s Prayer. Are we wrong to sing the Lord’s Prayer during corporate worship? Would it still be wrong to sing it when I am alone at home...

    Water Baptism

    Let us try to be at least a bit precise with scripture. Where does the Bible say this? “There are no concordance results for "Baptize" AND "and" AND "teach" in the ASV.” “There are no concordance results for "Baptize" AND "and" AND "teach" in the ESV.” “There are no concordance results for...

    Doctrine of Election

    Let me guess ... another NON CALVINIST explaining what Calvinists believe (inaccurately) and then refuting the claim that no one is making. Did I guess right?

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    The context is a bit more complex than that. Jesus also told the unbelieving crowd that the reason that they did not believe was because they were not his sheep. He also said that the Father gave Jesus the sheep that were his. As far as “the” sheep vs “His” sheep, the context was the Good...

    Regeneration

    Yes, indeed. I present scripture and you respond ‘ex cathedra’ that I am wrong. It does seem like a familiar pattern. So just for the record, when Paul states in Romans that “No one seeks God” and you refute scripture by pointing to the next verse and ‘explaining’ that they ‘turned away from...

    Water Baptism

    Not that I have a snowball in .... chance of convincing you of anything, but you have the Baptist view a little out of focus. It is not about “thou shall not” but rather it is about “thou shall”. “Make disciples and baptize” “Repent and baptize” “Hear the word and baptize” So there is no...

    Regeneration

    “there is no one who seeks God.” [Rom 3:11 NIV] “All have turned away” [Rom 3:12 NIV] “Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will...

    Regeneration

    There you go, trusting in that Greek pagan logic rather than just accepting the mystery of the word of God ... like you frequently tell others. :ewink:

    All About Faith

    I was not speaking of this lifetime, but of Glorification in Heaven when God redeems His possessions. You are claiming baptized infants are IN CHRIST and have the Holy Spirit, so I am asking about the deposit of EPH 1:13-14. Do the baptized infants have the deposit? Can they loose the deposit?

    Water Baptism

    Just for the record, there is no “Calvinist” Church or denomination. There are multiple Reformed Denominations including the Reformed branch of the Presbyterian Church that supports Water Baptism as the new circumcision and sign of admission into the new covenant people of God, and there is the...

    All About Faith

    I was under the impression that “were marked in Christ with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession” [Eph 1:13-14 NIV] ... so do all EOC infants eventually achieve Glorification, or is there some way...

    All About Faith

    As a Particular Baptist, I agree that every Christian should both repent for themself and choose to be baptized for themself, however, as a Christian, I find your post far too emphatic about things that you should be treading on with much greater humility. What right do you, I or Arsenios to...
