    Water Baptism

    I asked TWICE to clarify. The topic is “water baptism”, and you claimed that EVERY Catholic recipient of Water Baptism receives every one of the things on your list ... your list included the Holy Spirit and Eternal Life. Feel free to go back and reread my questions and your responses. YOU...

    The Key to 3:16

    I argued nothing. I presented the whole chapter from the WCF Short Catechism on that topic to address your mining of one sentence out of a paragraph that is part of a chapter so that you can build a straw man theology and call it “Calvinism”. Even MoreCoffee (who no one can accuse of being a...

    Double Predestination

    As far as I am concerned, I am still waiting for the OP to respond with a clarification of his question so we can BEGIN to discuss “The Topic”. We have just drifted from the argument about Josiah’s misdefinition of the Calvinist doctrine of Predestination, which is probably not the same thing...

    Double Predestination

    “O Mary and Joseph, a couple without equal! In you, I place my hopes” ... I am just taking him at his word.

    Water Baptism

    I have to admit that I honestly do not know what to say in response. I am familiar with the “Covenant Household” view of Baptism as the “new circumcision” that admits one into the Body of Christ (the true Church) as believed by many Presbyterians, but I never in my wildest dreams imagined that...

    The Key to 3:16

    Why not, he creates his own definition of Calvinism and is an expert on what other people believe in spite of how many Calvinists tell him that he is mistaken about what Reformed Theology teaches. In this case, however, I suspect that our confused Lutheran brother is just attempting to...

    Double Predestination

    The opening Prayer and Dedication in The Treatise on the Love of God: Dedicatory Prayer Treatise on the Love of God St. Francis de Sales O Holy Mother of God, Queen and vessel of election, you are the most beloved of all creatures. The heavenly Father found pleasure in you from all eternity and...

    Water Baptism

    Since the topic is “water baptism”, I have to ask: Does the adult or infant really experience all of those things at the moment they are sprinkled, poured or dunked with/in water? What does it mean when a baby, child or adult is water baptized in a Roman Catholic Church; how are they different...

    Double Predestination

    Predestine is not the same thing as foreordain, that is why the WCF says God PREDESTINES to salvation, and FOREORDAINS to Hell. God DRAWS to Jesus, God GIVES faith. Those FOREORDAINED are simply “passed over” and left to reap the harvest of their sinful wills as the reprobate children of the...

    Water Baptism

    The sad part of this topic is that there is actually an important discussion to be had on the difference between “Believers baptism” and “Covenant baptism” that has nothing to do with sprinkling vs dunking, little to do with the question of babies in the households mentioned in scripture and...

    Regeneration

    YOU can get YOUR NAME added and blotted out ... ... but I have been “marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing MY inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession” [Eph 1:13-14 NIV] all because “He who began a good work in ME will...

    Double Predestination

    VII. The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He extendeth or withholdeth mercy, as He pleaseth, for the glory of His sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonour and wrath, for their sin, to the praise...

    All About Faith

    Technically, no “denomination” is the Church. The Church is PEOPLE, living, with Christ and yet to be born.

    [Eph 1:3-5 NASB] 3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Did Judas “repent”? Sparing you all anything from Strongs, here are all the verses that use some form of the exact same word that says Judas “repented” or “regretted” so you can decide if it means what we call Christian Repentance: [Mat 21:29, 32 NASB] 29 "And he answered, 'I will not'; but...

    Regeneration

    God says you were chosen before the foundation of the world. Was that before or after you were born? Did you believe and obey before you were born? PS. That is not quite what we say. We say that all people are blind and deaf and have a heart of stone, that none choose to obey and no one seeks...

    Water Baptism

    Like praying to Jesus’ Mother to force God to obey ... oh, wait. That was the Roman Catholics. That’s right. Baptists are those fools that think when Peter said “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins” he actually meant that each...

    Double Predestination

    The Westminster Confession of Faith offers none of what you call “Calvinism” Double Predestination ... I.

    Regeneration

    [1Co 2:14 NASB] 14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. [2Co 4:3-6 NASB] 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 in whose...
