Does anyone own an Instant Pot? I've seen friends posting about it on Facebook and it supposedly cooks food in a short amount of time. Kind of like the reverse of a crock pot?
Ah, you missed the connection.
The point I was making is that can't God bring grace upon someone whether or not they are consciously aware of it at the time given? Such as the infants who were passed by at the Passover? That was due to God's grace. Did it matter whether they were consciously...
Yes, that section does not say that anyone has righteousness because of any parent. Our righteousness is only because of Jesus who was the anticipated Messiah of the OT.
You do realize that in the days of Jesus that the age of 30 is the age when a man would be fully matured enough to be a rabbi. See Numbers 4:3 for reference.
Acts 2:38-39 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”...
Your initial post that I had copied from the other thread addressed the consciousness of the baby...as if it was dependent somehow on the infant accomplishing something before God can do something in baptism. That's not true.
Everyone is in need of the Savior. The Jews were all about community...
Some parents do in the case of an emergency. Parents trust that God who has given promises about baptism will not be a liar!
Mostly, if the child is healthy, parents will wait to have a baptism done in front of a congregation because as the body of Christ it's about community and not individuals.
A parent making a vow...yes, God the Father making a vow that He will deliver upon His promises He makes in baptism. In Baptism HE gives the child faith. In baptism He washes away sin and clothes that babe in the righteousness of Christ. In baptism HE gives the gift of the Holy Spirit. Isn't...
God isn't waiting around for man to show he's worthy of receiving God's grace and mercy.
Is it easier for God to bless a man with a lifetime of sin under his belt or a baby who can't even crawl yet?
In interval training you're changing up your speed of what you do. A good example is to start marching in place for 30 seconds. Then for the next interval of 30 seconds march faster. In the next interval of 30 seconds RUN in place. Then go back to marching slowly for another 30 seconds. These...
"One of these little ones that believe in me" Mark 9:42. Jesus even spoke that infants can believe in Him and is evidence that God can work faith in even infants without waiting for them to grow up and give a sign to HIM that they're ready.
Is faith given to you as an adult because of God's mercy and grace? John the Baptist leaped in his mother's womb when Mary who was pregnant with Jesus came near. That showed he was aware of God's presence because of faith.
From the book The Spirituality of the Cross by Gene Edward Veith, Jr:
"To say God is hidden, of course, does not mean that He is absent. On the contrary, someone who is hidden is actually present, just not seen. The child who is hiding in the room is certainly there. God conceals Himself, often...
