    Justification

    Eternal is a big word... Eternal Life is KNOWING the One True God and His Son, Jesus Christ... So peculiar as it sounds, eternal Life can be lost in this life if one returns to sin... I had one guy retort "WELL then! IF it can be lost in time, it is NOT eternal..." I had to agree - It is not...

    So is it INSIDE the Solas? In the Ancient Faith, it is completely central for Salvation in this fallen life... Arsenios

    Justification

    God will judge the living - eg those baptized into Christ, AND the dead - eg those not baptized into Christ... The standards of judgement are different, and God knows the heart... And in that line of judgement, I am persuaded that there will be a whole lot of folks who are dead who are WAY...

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    Thank you for your warm welcome... The kai, you are correct, does not imply the necessity of sequence, but merely the inclusion... But the issue is not that simple, because the baptism of John was unto repentance, and the Baptism of Christ comes after that... Christ baptizes in the Holy...

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    I have never heard of such a thing myself... How about you? We wrote the Scripture... Is this an attempt at persuasion by insult?? Look - This is the phronema of the Church Christ established - My particular one by Paul in Antioch: Act 11:25-26 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to...

    In Christ

    Then why did John baptize Jesus? Then why did John baptize God? The relationship of man to God should be closer than that of your body to your mind... That is the mature meaning of "In Christ"... Arsenios

    Justification

    I think it is important to keep context with the Fall of Adam, who ate of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of BOTH Good and evil, located in the center of the Garden... And he died the day he ate of it, as God foretold would happen if he ate... And it is this death that we are born into...

    Justification

    That is only because I have not yet given the understanding that is missing... However, the Parable of the 10 Virgins does tell the 5 foolish ones to go and buy oil in the market, and this means to purchase Grace, by the giving of alms... Christ tells the rich young man to do the same: "Go...

    Justification

    The text states that it is being siezed... Harpazo - The base we use for the English word "harpoon"... Siezure is normally by the hands... "Whom we have touched with our hands" [John's words] Christ suffered Himself to be gazed upon and touched... "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"...

    Justification

    I think it is much more radical, for he is speaking of from death to Life, and not simply living a religious life, but the acquisition of Life in Christ, meaning becoming a member of His Body - A radically New Creation never seen in Creation prior to Christ's Life on earth in human flesh...
