    the meaning of Baptism

    Your question shows you didn't pay attention to Jesus as he instructed the disciples. You forget that baptism and teaching go hand in hand so why would anyone want to baptize someone they wouldn't bother teaching afterward?

    the meaning of Baptism

    I'm really not sure why you would ask if David baptized his son since baptism wasn't instituted at that time. The Jewish baths were not the same thing as the Christian baptism that Jesus ordained. So your question is actually ridiculous. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith comes by...

    Message of the Reformation Still Needed Today!

    Letting the Holy Spirit? As if He wouldn't reform us otherwise? My former pastor described sanctification as being like walking up a down escalator.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Unless you begin to see that baptism is from above which is God's work. Then you'll realize how God is not absent as you seem to believe from what He ordains and maybe even read through the verses I provided earlier on to see the connection to the cross and the Savior. But until you stop...

    Post 911 interest in God?

    A former pastor told me that there was greater church attendance during the months that followed. There were some new member sign ups too so there were signs that people were drawn to God after the incident.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Also, YOU have changed the wording in your head to read "go and make disciples THEN baptize and teach them". That's not what the text says.

    the meaning of Baptism

    So you reject that Jesus is telling the disciples how they are going to make new disciples? So teaching isn't going to make new disciples either according to your thought process ;)

    the meaning of Baptism

    No, you absolutely have not addressed what Jesus said when He told the disciples how to make new disciples by baptizing and teaching. Do you or do you not believe that God makes those new disciples by baptizing and teaching? Or does God only do teaching but not baptizing? Is that your thinking...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Still waiting for a response on why...If God is the one who actually makes disciples WHY people do not believe that God is the one who baptizes. Does He not teach you either since the command to make disciples was to baptize AND teach? Is God not involved in making us into disciples? Is that...

    the meaning of Baptism

    So you believe that God does nothing in baptism even though Jesus told the disciples how to make disciples (baptizing and teaching)? That's what you're saying.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Who ultimately is making the disciples? It's God. You're leaving God out of the equation. He's the one baptizing. He's the one teaching. He uses man to accomplish these through His Word (word and water = baptism) scripture from the bible is His word for teaching.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Baptizing and teaching go hand in hand. Both are done by God.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Furniture was baptized and it was so large that immersion wouldn't make sense. Baptize doesn't always mean immerse so maybe Strong's Concordance, as most Baptists use isn't the best one ;)

    the meaning of Baptism

    Lutherans who trust in their baptism trust that God is at work in the waters by His Word and it is not an empty promise but covers us in Christ's righteousness and gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Next time there is a baptism at your church, ask yourself why you want to think that God has...

    Drunk driver

    What could you possibly say to a man who is drunk who might not listen or understand and also might not even remember the incident in the morning? I would address the family as a unit and not singling out anyone. I would point out how God protected that man and that it was God's will that no one...

    the meaning of Baptism

    There are not two baptisms but one baptism. You choose to believe in two and have separated what God chose to make as one because of one instance where people in the bible did not receive the spirit during their baptism and that is because God used that instance as a sign. Baptism is directly...
