    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Yup. But that was part of 'the baptism that must not be named in this thread' discussion which I have abandoned as requested. :)

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Are you claiming that the infants that are baptized already know scripture? If not, then how is this verse applicable? The opinion shared was that "babies can understand and learn" about faith and the Bible.

    The purpose of education is to confuse you and hide the truth (video title)

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Sorry, any response would violate the credobaptism thought ban for this topic. God bless and enjoy your Lutheran rituals.

    Statements without evidence or proof are just opinions. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

    Credobaptism and Paedobaptism.

    The second is the issue of whether there is any link at all between faith and baptism, calling into question whether baptism is even part of salvation at all or just a covenant ritual for future saints and sinners alike. It has nothing to do with age or with sequence. It is based entirely on...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Either "Imaginary Day pointed out but all the protestors ignored" or "This thread is not about credobaptism." ... One or the other, but not both.

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Sorry, I expect more from a core Sacrament than "no OBVIOUS example" or command.

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Are you then baptizing all babies whether their parents are believers or not, since that seems to be what you believe God commanded? [Specific verse in context, please. Exegesis is hard in the hypothetical.]

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Wait a minute, be fair. Every time I attempted to raise a credobaptism point or argument, I was told there was another thread where it belongs and the topic of THIS thread is strictly the 5 points raised in the video. You end most messages with an appeal to get back on topic. ... So claiming...

    Jew/ Gentile

    It sounds like a perversion of Calvinism and a variation on what is commonly called double predestination. At its core, the idea is God created some people to be saved and there is nothing they can do about it (no reprobate life can keep them out of heaven) and God created some to be damned and...

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God?

    Yeah, that helps. I can relate to a lot of that. I would view it as "Who am I to judge another man's servant, he will answer to his own master." Many things give me reason to wonder, but ultimately, I am very glad that I do not have to sit at the Judgement Seat and make ANY of those calls. I...

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God?

    This question from the title was once answered to me by a graduate of Moody and a mentor of mine with the statement: "Your daily walk is surrendering everything you know of you to everything you know of God, today. Tomorrow, you will know more about you and more about God and have to do it all...

    What does it mean in practice for a person to believe in God?

    Well articulated case for Faith prior to complete understanding (which we all have since no one understands fully). What of incorrect understanding? Any thoughts on how far afield one can be from Orthodox Theology and still have faith in the true God? (Just as an obvious example, some believe...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Sorry, you will need to start a new topic. This one is only about the 5 reasons for paedobaptism. It was wrong of me to attempt to discuss any off-topic points on credobaptism. I have learned my lesson. This is the topic, and ONLY this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJYh-A6xbGI

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    I think I will take the answer to this question to be "YES" and leave you to your 100% paedobaptism, non-credobaptism topic.

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    I would have never imagined that the position of the Lutheran Church was for THAT open of a Communion Table. The goal was not to discuss communion, but what conditions might be attached to when it was appropriate to administer it and whether those same justifications might reasonably be applied...

    Are We Saved by Grace or Decision?

    "Are we saved by Grace or Decision?" As a Reformed Baptist, I say Grace. I remember reading that one of the traits of Lutheranism is an emphasis on the "Pastor's Heart" which is due to the tone set by Martin Luther as the founder who always had, first and foremost, the heart of a pastor for...

    Five Reasons Why Babies Should be Baptized...

    Let me try a completely different approach to the question in the OP ... Do you offer the 'bread' (of "this is My Body") to small children? Why not? Why does this same reason not apply to Baptism? [Do you see how it has nothing to do with some 'magic age X', as credobaptists are often...

    Confusion over Lutheran teaching on Salvation ... they come by it honestly

    My condolences. :) I like the Heidelberg Catechism better ... 90% of the bang for 10% of the dull.
