    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    I can accept that, however you should at least stop asking where the Bible talks about a requirement for “belief” before baptism. You can reject my arguments, but you should stop asking where it says what ‘believers baptism’ advocates claim ... I have provided that information and you have...

    Thoughts on the 'annihilationism' Thread

    I can offer some personal speculation towards answering these questions: Lazy 'bible teachers' who view reading the latest 'Purpose Driven Life' type book, complete with workbooks, as "Bible Study", coupled with church goers with the attention span of an eight year old. While purely speculation...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    For me, the issue is that the Church is actively baptizing unbelievers ... I see no scriptural call for that. You seem to have trouble identifying emoji. The fact is, they WERE baptized by John and they WERE baptized again by Paul. The 'ana-baptist' comment was just a joke (because anabaptist...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    OK, let's address this question of where scripture says that baptism is for believers head on: Confession of sins happened at roughly the same time as their baptism. Many people were confessing and being baptized. Is it reasonable to think that people confessing their sins and being baptized...

    Homily on baptism.

    There is already a topic for the credobaptism/padeobaptism discussion, and "Homily on baptism" is not it. For the record, I do not embrace paedobaptism, I am a credobaptist (belief should come before baptism ... it is the work of the Holy Spirit that is not restricted by any human effort like...

    Homily on baptism.

    "God's word is with the waters in baptism" does sound a little like 'mysticism'. The statement could really use some clarification using more common language. God's written word, holy scripture, is somehow mixed with the water? God's spoken word is somehow mixed with the water? Jesus Christ...

    Homily on baptism.

    Mark 1:8 NASB “I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38 NASB Peter said to them, “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. Acts 10:47 NASB...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    While an "age of understanding" is not taught in the New Testement, the Apostles and Jesus himself did teach that some would understand and some would not. John 9:39-41 NASB And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    First, thank you for your post, it was polite and humorous. I'd be willing to settle for a co-requisite since "believe, confess, hear, repent" were included in the same verses with "baptize". :) Heck, could we at least FOLLOW the baptism with "believe, confess, hear, repent"? [more on that in...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    I presented a number of scriptures related to examples of christians receiving baptism in scripture, including Apostolic commands to crowds to be baptized, that included "believe, confess, hear, repent". You will obviously disagree with my concerns, I accept that as a given, but the concern I...

    Do you think a God who drowns innocent babies from ppl before the flood is loving?

    Respectfully, it is there. You would simply choose to reject it. There is no evidence of macro-evolution, just conjecture based on similarities in fossil records and assumptions about micro-evolutionary morphological adaptations ... but no one demands 'physical proof' of evolution. There is...

    Do you think a God who drowns innocent babies from ppl before the flood is loving?

    Let's break it down ... "Do you think": Romans 9:20 NASB On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? ... what we think about God's decisions is irrelevant. "innocent babies": Psalm 51:5...

    Do you think a God who drowns innocent babies from ppl before the flood is loving?

    You want physical evidence of metaphysical Truth ... good luck with that one. So what color IS gravity? How much does a thought weigh?

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    [humor] Personally, I don't care if you want to baptize pre-natal or even post-mortem. I have opinions, but I am not your guide, the Holy Spirit is ... so follow what He tells you, not what I tell you. I just don't quite see how 'unlimited' baptism works. Does your church baptize people in a...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    Are "believe, confess, hear, repent" in fact "ENTIRELY, COMPLETELY missing in Scripture" with respect to the subject of baptism as Josiah has claimed? I do not demand that anyone agrees with me, I only ask for honest dialogue. His charges against 'believers baptism' do not seem scripturally...

    Credobaptists - What about those with disabilities and baptism?

    Actually, you did. I asked why you baptize infants and you replied: So you did claim that the church is made of believers and their baptized children (household).
