    the meaning of Baptism

    I think it is something along the lines of "people keep saying it is all of God so why all this talk about repentance because some of you people say that repentance is works and if God does it all why bother with repenting".

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    The GG has only ceremonial roles. No policy setting powers and no executive powers. So their role is fundamentally throwing garden parties and opening things.

    the meaning of Baptism

    The bible never says "baptism symbolises being born from above" it says Titus 3:5-7 And he saved us, not by works of justice that we had done, but, in accord with his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, (6) whom he has poured out upon us in abundance...

    Justification or Sanctification Differences

    Modified as shown above I agree with your post. Doing good is good. Doing wicked things is wicked. There's no value in being "saved" if all that means is that a person mouthed the words of the sinner prayer and then went on through the rest of their life saying "I believe in Jesus Christ as my...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Why? Nobody is finished being saved the moment they are baptised. And baptism is a once only thing. If you needed to be baptised every time you "came to the Lord" then you may as well live in a bath! :smirk:

    Justification or Sanctification Differences

    Titus 3:1-11 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, (2) to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. (3) At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by...

    the meaning of Baptism

    Yes they do. The vast majority of Christians through time were Catholic and did baptise babies and did use water poured over their head as the water of baptism. All easily verified.

    the meaning of Baptism

    In the infallible decrees of the Catholic Church, of course. :smirk: Ask a silly question and get a short answer.

    the meaning of Baptism

    The vast Majority of Christians throughout history agree that babies ought to be baptised and that pouring water is just fine and that being a Catholic is the "right thing to do". :smirk:

    I like Catholic dogma. It's what Jesus teaches.

    the meaning of Baptism

    Yes, I gave a lovely definition quite a while ago :) Holy Scripture tells Christians what Baptism is and what it means. Romans 6:3-9 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? (4) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into...
