    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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.”...

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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...

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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.

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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...

    No one is righteous apart from Christ. We ALL need to be covered under His righteousness...even infants.

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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?

    Science shows exercise is like a drug

    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...

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    "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.

    Can babies be conscious of their baptism?

    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.

    The hidden God

    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...

    The Maze Runner series

    Has anyone read the Maze Runner books or watched the movies? I see that the 3rd movie is either out or soon to be out. The first two have been on tv recently and I liked the first one but the sequel built itself up to nothing in my opinion.

    Is Immersion required by Scripture when a baptism is performed?

    I agree. Basing an opinion on someone's extreme video from a small country doesn't make infant baptism invalid. Scripture does not demand immersion. God is very explicit in His instructions when there is a need for it but to concentrate on the amount of water and neglect God's promises is...

    I think where I live the the winter was pretty mild. I'm so used to Chicago weathers that it takes a lot for me to say that it's bad. Today though we were supposed to get rain but it was snow and now it's a mix so it's no fun outside. I'm staying in all day!

    What are you eating? - Part 2

    Eggplant parmigiana. I bought the eggplant from the vegan section at the grocery store because I didn't want to deal with breading and cooking my own but just added the sauce and cheese. It was excellent. My husband said mine is spicier and he prefers it so this summer I'll make it but for now...
