    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    Some thoughts on ‘anti-Paedobaptism’: Much has been made about the “age of X” and the inability to come up with a definitive age to insert in the “X” ... by both sides. However, I believe that the “age of X” is entirely appropriate. There is no definitive age, but rather an age appropriate...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    The concept is called "Federal Headship". It means that Adam had free will, and the responsibility to choose for all of humanity. When Adam sinned, all mankind became sinners. The same applies to Jesus. Jesus is the "Federal Head" of all who believe, so as Jesus was righteous, so through...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    If you are going to debate "free will" you should really define the term first. Different people mean different things by the same term. From THEOPEDIA: "Probably the most common definition of free will is the "ability to make choices without any prior prejudice, inclination, or disposition,"...

    What does Peter mean by "the fate that was planned for them"

    3) I don't generally read the "Questions for Christians" section. ... but as long as I am here. 1 Peter 2:8 NASB and, “A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed [G5087]. The word that is...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    Back on topic ... Matthew Henry on Mark3:28-30 The awful warning Christ gave them to take heed how they spoke such dangerous words as these; however they might make light of them, as only conjectures, and the language of free-thinking, if they persisted in it, it would be of fatal consequence...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    Not that it matters to me, but just in case it matters to you ... I am a Reformed Baptist in my theology (so I also agree with the 5 points of 'Calvinism' concerning how God chooses to save people). John 6:44 NASB “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    Mark 3:20-30 NASB 20 And He *came home, and the crowd *gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. 21 When His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.” 22 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    I believe that 1 John 5:16 is speaking in far more practical and literal terms. I believe an example of "a sin leading to death" that we should not pray for is presented in the story of Ananias: Acts 5:1-6 NASB 1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and...

    Sin and the Law

    John 3:16-21 NASB 16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him...

    Sin and the Law

    God's Sovereignty

    Genesis 15:2 NASB Abram said, “O Lord [H136] GOD [H3068], what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” [H136] = אֲדֹנָי ʼĂdônây, ad-o-noy'; an emphatic form of H113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only):—(my) Lord. [H3068] = יְהֹוָה...

    Does Jesus Hate Children?

    John Wesley would argue for "PREVENIENT GRACE": One of John Wesley’s finest contributions to theology was his understanding of prevenient grace. Broadly speaking, this is the grace that “goes before”—that grace which precedes human action and reflects God’s heart for his creation. It testifies...

    Slow to anger

    If I am honest, I must regrettably admit that I am not 'slow to anger'. It is something that my conscience convicts me of. Looking around, I suspect I may not be the only one, so I shared the thoughts from Charles Spurgeon on the Word of God.

    Slow to anger

    The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power. —Nahum 1:3 Jehovah "is slow to anger." When mercy cometh into the world she driveth winged steeds; the axles of her chariot-wheels are red hot with speed; but when wrath goeth forth, it toileth on with tardy footsteps, for God taketh no pleasure in...

    Is there a thing that can be done that will not be forgiven? If so what is it?

    Mark 3:28-30 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” 1 John 5:16 If you...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    The question was specifically about "people with disabilities". [see post #251] Do Padeobaptists have ANY restrictions on children with disabilities that they do not have on any other children? Credobaptists require belief ... disabled or non-disabled. I stand by my answer to the question that...

    Does Jesus Hate Children?

    Ephesians 2:1-10 NASB 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    Credobaptist answer: If they can believe, then they can be baptized. Paedobaptist answer: Anyone can be baptized. Everyone seemed to agree that who gets into heaven is Gods decision, not man's decision, and God can certainly show them Grace if He chooses to (with or without baptism). (There...

    Does Jesus Hate Children?

    When are they not in ignorance? I know that children are capable of "anger" and "lying" and "stealing" by the 'terrible twos' ... and throwing food and screaming in a temper tantrum long before they can talk. Where are these 'totally innocent' children that I hear about? For the record, God is...
