    Very Liberal Christianity

    I'm a Theological Conservative ... political "I just don't care any more" ... so I have not posted on here. Hello, Sorry, but I am probably not a 'like minded Liberal Christian'. I suppose I am more 'Libertarian' ... get government and organizations out of the way and the People of God need...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    [Disclaimer: As Josiah said, I can provide AN answer, but only God has THE answer ... However, I have no fear to take a best guess as long as I make it clear that it is my best guess and support it with whatever Scripture I can.] I can state with confident certainty that God will not be proven...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    From a similar question on another board: [My response repeated here and just as valid to your question] I'll let David and Paul answer you: Psalm 19:1-6 [NIV] 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    I'll let Jesus answer for himself: John 6:35-45 [NIV] 35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    Yes, in general. To be honest I am not sure that Jesus came to save all (every person). I believe that the point being made by the word "all men" is that grace has been made available to all people groups and not just the Chosen Nation of Israel. It is a key distinction that is repeated...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    Is God then punishing people for sins that were forgiven? (And how were they forgiven if people are still being punished for them? Isn't that the definition of unforgiven?)

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    John 3:16 has a context ... John 3:1-21 [NKJV] 1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    I was actually just objecting to the misapplication of that verse in the video. The point of the speaker was not the point that Jesus was making in the text. Even if we are commanded by God to baptize infants, bad exegesis of that verse does not support it. It was a command by Jesus to carry...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Strange as it seems (at least to me), that is what scripture claims. Good old Arminianism always made more sense, it just isn't as well supported by the body of scripture. If you are heading towards an 'I got you' (I really wish you did, it would make life much easier than trying to fit all...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    I don't know that I would describe it as "depending on something in the individual". That would indeed be folly. Baptism just seems like something you should be there for. I would not baptize someone while they were asleep, but it is not because I think the baptism would be ineffective...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    No Josiah is correct. No one can believe. God can give the gift of faith to anyone (even a baby) and enable them to believe. As MoreCoffee pointed out, the real question is DO all babies believe (or at least, all of the babies you are baptizing)? God CAN do almost anything.

    Credobaptism and Paedobaptism.

    Please tell me that was humor. I really need to know if that is what you took from my post, in which case, it is time to say "God bless." and abandon all hope of discussion with you.

    Credobaptism and Paedobaptism.

    I guess that we Reformed Baptists mist believe a different sort of credobaptism then, because no matter how many times you tell me what we believe and no matter how many times I assure you that is not what I believe, it is still not about replacing "and" with "then" or about a "magic age X". It...

    Credobaptism and Paedobaptism.

    Yes. Our initial faith, the faith that saves us, comes 100% from God (the Holy Spirit) who "removes our (dead) heart of stone and gives us a new (living) heart of flesh." From salvation, which is a completely gift from God, we move on to sanctification which is where the Word can increase our...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who...
