    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    I adhere to it. I'm a Trinitarian. So what's the beef? The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds; God of...

    Some Creeds that named the papacy as the Antichrist;

    The first written history suggests Arnulf, the archbishop of Reims in the 10th century identified the Papacy as the Antichrist. Later Joachim of Fiore in the 12th century preached the Papacy was the Antichrist. This led to the martyrdom of many Albigenses, Anabaptists, and others who in part...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Jesus Christ is YHWH in the NT. He is revealing the Trinity in His name. “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” Jude 5 (ESV) “and all drank the same spiritual drink...

    My Depression

    I learned to do this through practice. The Scripture says “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV 1900). It's hard keeping your mind from drifting into cluttered thoughts. But this scripture really works, especially as...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    But Jesus and the Apostles showed us how to Baptise, not the Pope. Who do you follow in this matter? I prefer to follow Jesus in this matter and have.

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    How do you explain the change from Jesus to the Pope? The Pope takes credit for it. All the Reformers I.D. him as the Antichrist. Who but Antichrist would control all of Christendom according to scripture?

    Absolute Predestination

    Traducianism: The view that in addition to the human body the human soul is transmitted from the parents to the child, rather than being created specifically for that human body by God ex nihilo (creationism). Although it may be dated to the patristic era, this teaching has been especially...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    If you go by scripture, the Papacy undermined Apostolic authority and changed Jesus' revelation of the name of the Trinity. Paul said, whatever you do, do in the name of Jesus Christ. And that all the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in him bodily. This shows the extent of the Antichrist's presence...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    It undercuts Apostolic authority, not to mention Jesus. I for one believe along with the Reformers that the Papacy is Antichrist (in the place of Christ) and this fact speaks volumes.

    The purpose of religion

    It is a discipline our thoughts and actions adhere to. But when impure, it causes great sin and misery.

    Last time you felt happy

    Here's how to be happy all the time. Only sad when it is justifiable and for a good cause. Here's my approach to walking in the Spirit. Paul says; “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to...

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    Paul says to them: “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood” (Acts 20:28). In these verses the title of “Elder,” coming from the Greek word “Presbuteros” (also...

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    You need to define these roles by scripture, not history.

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    Have you ever studied NT house churches? I spent some time with it and they clearly have nothing in common with the later churches under the control of the monarchical bishops. That has divided the church into opposing persuasions. Scripture does not mention today's "church" governments since...

    Which denomination best resembles the Church of the 1st Century?

    I think individual house churches, independent of each other, like many Baptist churches today, come the closest. 2-3 meeting at Mickey D's in Jesus' name, is closer to the NT church model than any institutional church. No Monarchical bishops ruled over house churches. If you look deeply enough...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    If you read closely Jesus and the apostles did not do what the Pope told you to do. Who do you follow in the matter? I follow Jesus and the Apostles.

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    I think the biggest difference is that the Reformers thought the Papacy is the Antichrist. Here's a sample of their writings. Creeds named the papacy the Antichrist; The first written history suggests Arnulf, the archbishop of Reims in the 10th century identified the Papacy as the Antichrist...

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Here's the Catholic Encylopedia on it. Baptism 263 Catholic Encyclopedia: …of this sacrament, the act of baptism must be expressed, and the matter and form be united to leave no doubt of the meaning of the ceremony. In addition to the necessary word “baptize”, or its equivalent, it is also...
